These documentaries are so interesting and give so many behind the scenes insights about history that fictitious shows like the Crown can never provide their audience.

I love William. He's so honest and upright. His wife and children are a credit to this country. Thankyou 💖

I agree the Berti’s best gift to Britain her daughter Elisabeth!

I’m loving all of these Royal documentaries- so well crafted and illuminating 😊

Very interesting and the later incidents we 📰witnessed 📰📻📺 Now we are watching HRH👑 Grandchildren grow up.

Why didn't this documentary let the story unfold in chronological order? Jumping all over the decades left this piece disjointed.

I think whoever said that David and Wallace's relationship was the greatest love story of all time should take a look at the letters Wallis wrote.

This is an outstanding 💯 video!

This is a brilliant documentary 💐 Thank you very much!

The Queen Mum was in phenomenal shape at her 100th birthday! Walking on her own, looking presentable, and of sound mind. They've got some good genes in that family.

Gorgeous pieces of jewlry

Mary of Teck had a German father but her mother was British, Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge and Princess May as she was known was born at Kensington Palace and lived in England for most of her life apart from when the Tecks moved abroad to save money and most definitely considered herself to be British.

Bertie's best gift to Britain was his daughter Queen Elizabeth.

Thats Lady Rosamund Painswick from Downton Abbey - I'd recognise that voice from anywhere!

The Monarchs extravagance is OUTRAGEOUS!!

young Queen Mother looks very pretty. literally looks like those from old paintings. and also, damn she lives in a castle with a big family. she has 9 siblings?? wow

The royals time and effort they put towards charities is remarkable even in their later years. The late queen will be missed by so many around the world for a long time to come. I still remember her coming to Quebec in the 70s when I was about 3 yrs old everyone lined the streets very excited and how her calm voice during covid just made everyone feel better. I'm sure with all the cruel comments that keep coming their way and being blamed for ancestors that were in power 100s of years before they were born they would love to walk away some days but instead they keep showing up to all the non profits and events that count on them because at the end of the day the haters are just a small percentage. Still they insist on trying to ruin happy events like the coronation with their screaming and shouting not my King. If you get your wish and take away the Royal family you in the end take away jobs and a big percent of the tourism that many earn a living on. Try helping those in need instead of picketing and you might soon find that your hate is replaced by hope. :)

Watching on September 11 2022. 'one day, he will be king' ... That day has come... God bless the Queen. God save the king.

Great voice of the presenter TIME will always tell no matter how long.

Im glad Edward gave up the throne because if he hadn't we wouldn't have our beautiful Queen and we wouldn't have William and Catherine! They will be so well loved..they are already loved and Willam has proved he is a loving and loyal member of the family and he has the right qualities to be a wonderful King with Catherine by his side ❤️ 🌹🙏👑

King George the 6th was truly an honourable man his wife the Queen mother was without doubt a devoted wife to the present Queen Elizabeth's farher a loving mother two the queen & princess Margrete and a mother figure to the UK..

Woah…wow…who knew the Royals were so relatable…I loved the clubbing and Team Risky 🤩🥂 I really enjoyed everything…I love how our stories were reflected in their stories…love, affairs, sexuality, clubbing, parties 🎉, drinking, smoking, rehab, change, actors, singers, fashion designers, fashion icons, fame, war, environment…so much….wow that’s amazing 🤩 I hope this cheered everyone up as well 🕊🔥💂‍♀️👑🤍🖤❤️

Great narrator voice on this video! I was impressed to learn that the Queen Mother supported/defended gay staff. Also hadn’t heard before that QE2 had sent notification to the public after Diana’s death, as to why she didn’t immediately return to London. Gives me the impression that the press is responsible for stirring up the public’s bad sentiments. What a shame that media wasn’t more understanding during this family tragedy.

Great documentary thank you.

The best legacy of King George is his amazing daughter Elizabeth.

"The Traitor King" is an excellent book that just came out. Churchill ordered all the documents proving Edward's collusion with the Nazis destroyed. The author puts the true story together from other sources -- mostly the letters of people who knew him. And the two of them were horrible -- HORRIBLE -- people. Just hilariously bad. They treated their staff terribly; one servant whose wife had died asked Wallis if he could leave early so he could put his kids to bed. Wallis told him if he did leave, he shouldn't come back. One of the Rothschilds let Edward stay at her palace while they were waiting for Walis to be available to marry again. He was very sad and stayed on the phone with Wallis for hours. $800 phone bills arrived and the Duke assumed his hostess would pay them (she did). They were notoriously cheap. The night the Duke gave his speech, he left to sail across to France. During the voyage, he started sending out telegrams to all his friends about what he'd done. When the Duke was told he'd need to pay for telegrams sent from the ship once they got closer to France, the Duke ordered the ship back out to sea. Then he bragged about saving money. Oh my God they were horrible.

Thank you for following it was a wonderful documentary the royal stories

Truthfully, she wanted to be back with Simpson, but considering what he gave up for her, she couldn't. So you tell me, what kind of love story is that?

the panther bracelet💖👍👍

Patrick Jepson’s book was spot on…like it or not.

The romance of the century? A great love affair? Certainly not. The story is fascinating, yes. Because a man gave up so much for a woman who did not love him. Either she was an incredible deceiver or he was self-deceived and very weak of character.

I'm happy that Edward gave up the throne!

I was told my grandmother had this to say about Wallis Simpson, "She was like an old mattress. Everybody laid on her."

This poem is dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II may she rest in peace Queenie I love the Queen she was never horrible, never mean She was a wonderful head of state, with all the worlds problems on her plate, Like politicians destroying her country, upholding traditions and all their superstitions, She was assiduous to her duties, carried out with Grace and Beauty, she Devoted her life to the service of this Country, A dutiful wife, bringing life, bearing the sorrows of her nation! Regal and Sovereign, a Jewel in the Crown Of gods beautiful creation 🙏✨🌍

Interesting story about how the relationship between the Prince of Wales and Wallis Simpson came to be... Lady Furness née Thelma Morgan (whose name was actually pronounced 'Telma', with the 'h' silent), was the twin sister of Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, widow of Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt and mother of 'Little Gloria', who would become famous in her own right as an actress, model, fashion designer, painter, author, businesswoman, and of course, as the mother of Anderson Cooper. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt and her sister in law Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney were locked in a custody battle over Little Gloria that would eventually be adjudicated in a New York City courtroom in what was then called the 'Trial of the Century'. As the trial was set to begin, Lady Furness decided to go to New York City to serve as moral support for her twin sister. Before leaving, she asked her best friend at the time to look after her 'Little Man' while she was away. That man of course was the Prince of Wales, and her best friend was Wallis Simpson. Lady Furness never saw her 'Little Man' again after this.

Its not really a love story. It is a bad situation for both of them. Both got into it but could not get themselves out of it and had to play those roles. I think both were miserable behind closed doors.

The part about Harry being happy being the spare heir didn't age well

A whole 37 minutes she visited....... wow!

'Geography+History' what a best pair of subjects knowing the civilizations and cultures of the world from 'William & Kate'

I'm impressed to some people love is more important than power and money!

Princess Diana's genetics made the Royal men look actually handsome. Thank God for Diana's dominant genes.

Love the presenter and have appreciated her from many fine films and television programs. But I think she speaks to rapidly for these documentaries, Lovely voice and cadence, but much to fast for these programs. A great deal more impact and gravitas if spoken a tad more slowly. No complaints, just a comment.

The Duke of Windsor was attractive as was King George 6th. None of the males in the Spencer family are attractive. King Charles may not be traditionally attractive but when you meet him he is so, so charming, so kind and interested one can’t help be taken with him. He is extremely charismatic.

THANKS 😊

What a wonderful story. Prince Charles grandfather King George last for 14 years to be a King the mother last successfully such a long time almost her life time and I guess the new King will be last a one year or maybe less than one year it's dependent on his Health. His son is ready to become next King 🤴 he is old enough to take over. God bless the Royals family.

Kate looks more beautiful every time i see her. Cant say i ever really envied the royal family's guilded cage but if i was thrown katy as a refreshment i could be persuaded.

"A female in the milk business was the only one not curious" 😂

Poor Guy, the releasing of those classified documents let out the secrecy he most likely took to the grave. He almost got away with it.

Is there ever a time that the UK isn't experiencing financial crisis, I mean everytime a royal wedding or jubilee comes about, it is described that the nation is in financial collapse!!!

Beautiful i love the Queen 👸

She never loved him and regretted the marriage! See other documentaries where they read and show her letter of regret.

I’m only just starting this- but didn’t it come out that she never wanted to marry him, and was in love with her first husband? There’s letters saying that she tried to leave Edward, and he threatened suicide - there’s a whole book about it.

Diana Mitford's husband was named Sir Oswald Moseley, not Sir Edward. And the gentleman from The Sun got it wrong altogether. The Duke of Windsor made a half hearted attempt at excusing himself in his memoirs, but he did finally acknowledge that he was wrong in his support of Hitler. Of course he did it in his characteristic way of minimising the support he had for him. Unlike Mosely who went on to try to found a European fascist party after the War (which failed everywhere except in Italy...his party there sent 32 delegates to the European Parliament before the party was disbanded).

The reason behind Edward's abdication was not Wallis Simpson, it was Winston Churchill.

Will there be a part 3? :)

How was Margaret tenth in line to the throne as a kid? That would have made Elizabeth ninth, Bertie eighth, and David seventh. Which clearly wasn’t the case.

The papers about Mrs Simpson (Wales) were put out "early" because the Queen Mother Elizabeth wouldn't have any more news about (former?) King Edward 8 unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!

There is a lot of overlap between parts 1 and 2. Good footage, though.

Greatest love story my American ass. He was a fool and history has just repeated itself with one exception; this time it was the spare and not the heir!

Absolutely so proud of what you can see

Ah what I do like about this video is there are several things I learned that I didn't know. Which is amazing considering how much I know almost everything about the British monarchy because I'm obsessed with it. What I hate about this video is that it obscures Elizabeth II. Basically the greatest British monarch ever possibly if one considers everything about what she has continued to keep the British throne alive during the most revolutionary time in the history of the world. How is it that this whole documentary actually avoids Elizabeth when she should be the very center of the last hundred years like

When the heir is more popular than the monarch himself:

In a decree in 1701, members of the royal family were not permitted to enter into marriage with Roman Catholics . 1* The monarch of the family is the de facto head of the Church of England, which is Protestant in nature. 2* Throughout history, this prohibition led to many disruptions in the line of succession and validities of marriage, such as that of King George IV to the Catholic Maria Fitzherbert, which wasn’t recognised. 3* The marriage of King Edward to Wallis Simpson is another case to recall 4* As the British monarch, Edward was the nominal head of the Church of England, which at this time did not allow divorced people to remarry in church if their Ex-Spouses were still alive. 5* For this reason, it was widely believed that Edward could not marry Simpson and remain on the throne 6* Early life and education. Tom Parker Bowles was born on 18 December 1974 in London. He and his sister Laura were raised as Roman Catholics 7* The Queen Consort s parents went to Holy Trinity Church in Stourpaine, Dorset, and her father and brother Mark Shand' s funeral were held at the same church 8* Children and grandchildren of Parker Bowles and Camelia were brought up in their father's Roman Catholic faith, particularly during the lifetime of their paternal grandmother Ann Parker Bowles; Wikipedia 8* How is it Camilla remained an Anglican when she was baptised as Roman Catholic and also raised her children as Roman Catholics 9* Are Children of Roman Catholic parents baptised before they are a yr old ? 10* Therefore Mr and Mrs Shand as parents of baby Camelia Shand baptised their daughter as a Roman Catholic 11* When one is baptised as a Roman Catholic at birth can you at some age in a later part of life switch to Protestant because you choose to divorce the Roman Catholic husband , Parker Bowles to marry a Royal Prince who is an Anglican . 12**Queen of England to be crowned is very Catholic even though she prefers to belong to the Angelican Faith Unless she attended a special Church Ceremony to convert into the Anglican Faith after her divorce from Andrew Parker Bowles Her entourage as siblings and ex husband's family ,children, grandchildren her late parent ,late brother and all other family members are or were Roman Catholics en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki Camilla, Queen Consort - Wikipedia Google search One instance in which the Anglican Church forbids a second church wedding for divorced persons is if the new relationship contributed to the breakdown of the first marriage, Ed Condon, a Catholic canon lawyer in the U.K., told CNA. 12* This was what prevented a church wedding for Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005. (Google /Wiki) 13* "The opposition to Edward VIII was, first of all, that society didn't recognize divorce as something that was good at the time, and now it does, unfortunately," he said Royals marrying Catholics 14* owever, if she were a Catholic, this too would have been an obstacle to her marrying into the royal family until very recently. 15**Opposition to Catholics ascending to the throne dates back to King Henry VIII, who broke from the Catholic Church in the 1500s in order to divorce his wife, Catherine of Aragon, and marry another, because he blamed Catherine for failing to produce a son who could succeed to the throne. 16* The Succession to the Crown Act 2013 allowed heirs to the throne to marry Catholics, among other changes. However, the law still stipulates that the acting British sovereign mustn't be a Catholic. 17* For this Long awaited Coronation many rules and traditions may be shelved. They may allow family members including children and grandchildren of her ex husband though Roman Catholics and commoners to participate in the Coronation event itself 18* Will the Government of Great Britain and Archbishops have to explain to taxpayers ,why were the strict royal regulations not exercised ?? 19* Taxpayers have a right to know as it depletes the Government's Budget on welfare and we'll being of the citizens of the country .

For the name of Love not money.. 😢

This story about the royals has only left me wondering how many married men back then were while often pretending to be single were having affairs with divorced women and how many of those married men having affairs were at the same time 'helping' to bring up the late prince Edward while he was a pre-teen, teenager and young military recruit too.

Watching from Ohio USA 🇺🇸

Even IF THEY stayed in England as long qnd Queen THEY would not have any kids so Queen Elizabeth would still be QUEEN eventually.

If Madonna thinks it's the "greatest romance of the 20th century" I will think the opposite.

These two love birds were miserable and they both regretted the decision. It was not a life long love story.

We are all wiser after the event…. Really it is about oneself.

Hitler advert (with full volume) in the middle of this royal documentaries killed me

My mother named her pet cat "Wally Windsor",probably one of many cats in that period carrying that name.

Prince William's a lovely simple easy going guy who does't appreciate his mother's name been so to speak expoilted by individuals through the media. William's mother's not here to defend herself.

"Lesser mortals could only dream of"??? Who do you think you are?

She didn’t love Edward. She was pretending all along.

Hi everyone its Maryanne here I live in the UK England and these people who do history and things like that they need to remember that our beloved majesty the Queen her poor wonderful father did have a speach problem he had a stutter and he actually went through speach theropey for it to that's why he found doing speaking on the radio or to a crowd of people xxxxx rest in peace rest peacefully in our Lords loving arms xxxxxxx😇👼🏼🙏🙏😇👼🏼🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇳🇬🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💖🌹💐🇮🇪🐎🐎🐎🐕🐕🐕🐾🐾🐾🦢🦢🕊🕊👑👑👑👑👑

Time capsules is what I find in random videos on utube. This is one of them. Almost 4got about koo stark. Amazing how some individuals think it's difficult to live on 30,000.00 a yr, tax free with no rent and kids taken care of, or 100,000.00 a yr not paying for anything. Besides the history here it's a reminding wake up call to the overly entitled. And yea I just like the history :))

Giving him a strong sense of duty'"? i think not. Otherwise, he would have given WS up.

Queen Mary wasn’t German born she was born at Kensington Palace in London.

But David was not bothered about that he loved her more than she loved him sadly

well they've certainly got much much richer.

Wallis wasn't older than David. She was 2 years younger. If your gonna be a channel that makes videos,about the royals,you should know that. David born in 1894, Wallis in 1896....

Hi everyone its Maryanne here dose it matter he was in love with our beloved majesty the Queen Elizabeth 11 her mother she was a very beautiful woman and if they never had been married we wouldn't have had our beloved majesty the Queen Elizabeth 11 and princess Margaret thank you you both for letting us all love your beautiful daughters rest in peace all of you rest peacefully in our Lords loving arms in heaven and jesus to we all miss you all so so much and because I'm a very religious girl myself i know that we all will be with them one day we will meet again one day❤ xxxx🐾🐾🐾🐎🐎🐎🐕🐕🐕🐕🐎🙏🙏🙏🙏👼🏼😇🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇳🇬🇮🇪🇮🇪🕊🕊🦢🦢💖

KING CHARLES IS JUST THE OPPOSITE! God Save the King! 👑

I happened to find this when Wills was trending on tiktok and Twitter for something quite different than this presents him. And I'll never not think of this

Prince Edward was quite a play boy. Always playing around. Edward had no interest in becoming King of England. He was having too much fun. Fun doing nothing . Wallace wanted fame. And thought getting close to Edward was the answer. Wallace never loved or cared for Edward it was all pretense to get her a change of life.

The narrator HAS to be the actress who played Rosamunde on “Downton Abbey “. Am I right?

…IMO, someone had better chat either the fact checker the narrator or both…… At about 6:07, it states that Edward was 36 years old and Wallis 41 years old. I do not know how this is possible when every reference I have seen/read has them both born in the month of June, she in 1896, he in 1894… Some thing isn’t adding up correctly??… …

Queen Elizabeth become a Queen in 1953. In this Story is something missing

King Edward story is incredibly beautiful. every time it brings tears to my eyes.

One big 🎉

Well, there was also the Nazi issue

It’s a pity , Harry , & the wife didn’t go out of the royal family this way, instead of abusing them all .

It has been written that Wallis originally thought that the King would throw her off as he had done with any other woman he had affairs with, but her not behaving like a Sycophant seemed to make her irresistable.

If one is alone at home and a fire breaks out, how do you set up a human chain? Or are staff not considered as people?

😢😢 sonno stuffa in panna per tutto ciò che sta succedendo non sopporto tale durezza in il cuore del uomo 😢🌏

"George the 5th died peacefully..." Uh, huh....a speedball with a gram of Coke and 3/4 gram of morphine is......peaceful. Peaceful???? Eyeroll....

Sad part about the abdication is wallace didnt love edward. She was a social climber and admitted it basically in her letters to her ex husband.

he did..reak king 👊🧡

At least they have fun….despite being royals…
