Please do Margaret Thatcher

@@user-ok6po8br5k I made a video on her, check it out if u want!

Yah. That’s why she never told him who she was.

She was thee most beloved royal to the day she died, referred as the kingdom's mother. but i have to disagree with the so-called head of the family, she was head of the establishment, but the documentaries involving the queen around the Queen Mother, she would always refer to her affectionately as mummy. She just couldn't ask her for advice, she was only a consort, and i find it quite funny that she was played by Helena Bonham Carter in the 'King's speech' and now she's playing as her daughter, Princess Margaret, in 'The Crown'

@@jordanvalencia9597 what’s even more hilarious is that Olivia Colman (she acts as Queen Elizabeth II in the crown) acted as the Queen Mother in another movie, I noticed the other day that A lot of the people in The crown have played royals before

@@jordanvalencia9597 Totally agree I would love a movie or serious about the life of the Queen Mother starring Helena Bonham Carter or Victoria Halminton

And you’d have doubled the price 😂

She has experience, she played Queen Victoria in an old TV miniseries production!

I adore this actress.

The part where she says: “we go from ruling to reigning to nothing at all…marionettes” sums up the status of the royal family in the present day.

@@jamiete-whau595I loved this speech so much

There is that but let’s be honest Margret wasn’t the most reliable person.

She did give Margaret more responsibility, but Margaret chose to behave like a bitch and break protocol,, which is why she reneged.

@@lordalessan Margarita only wanted to be herself, without hypocrisy, to be transparent. But as always the Prime Minister did not give her or her sister the opportunity

You mean the Constitution? “They” didn’t take anything. It is the work of the monarch. And not a consort.

I'd say she wanted to be in the limelight for more time as QUEEN and not Queen mother.

You realise she was a functioning alcoholic, right?

Hopefully William and Catherine brings us back to those days

Have you heard of the Princess Royal?

Out of all The Queen's children, only the Princess Royal can hold a candle to her mother's sense of duty

@@gabriellerena2093 Charles will destroy the family before William and Kate have the Chance

I think the younger generations take their responsibilities seriously as well, most of them. It's just that most of them behave in a way that betrays any understanding of their place, and that's the difference.

It’s thanks to their acting education, Great Britain is known for having very good acting schools, many brilliant actors went to these schools.

Agreed. In the crown, I felt they should have given her more screentime

The new queen mother looks more like the real one however

@@anneneville6255 no she do not

@@anneneville6255 In the face not really, but she is plumper, so in body, perhaps yes.

She only speaks to shade and insult other people.

Not to mention photos back then were not so well defined or were retouched. It was easier for them to go incognito without a problem

😢

But the only problem is they made her seem mean in the show. In real life she was a good person

@@samadams2575she wasn’t mean in the show

Whereas this one comes off as whiny, entitled and lacking tenderness. Dead heat I’d say. The ruthless way she dealt with Camilla and Charles.

I agree, the way they wrote Victoria Hamilton's QM was far more sympathetic in the sense that you could see that there was pain behind many of her decisions, actions and behaviours- the writing for Marion Bailey's has her come across as far more sinister I believe, especially how ruthless she was with Camilla and Charles.

SAME

I cannot stand her prejudices, I know that if she met most of us (no matter how polite and well-dressed we were), she'd be no different than her hated brother in law.

Uhm I hate to break it you she was much worse in like every way. The Crown was really kind.

She's truly made out to be a monster in the series. In the real world opinions of her are very polarized as there are many who loved her but there was a sizable part of the general public who had a very bad opinion of her. Obviously the makers of the Crown fall into the latter camp.

Well as to that people can make up their own mind if they read several biographies of her. I see her as being an incredibly entitled figure in history and her usefulness in being a stable influence to husband during his reign does not outweigh her negative qualities. She spent a fortune on clothes and frivolities at a time when England could not afford it, e.g. she got about 17,000 more coupons as a normal person during the war, including when the rest of royal family stuck to rationed clothes, simply because she believed as Queen she must always be the best dressed. Then she kicked up a big fuss and absolutely refused to leave the palace until the present Queen reasoned with her (it's not like she wasn't given a massive mansion to live in) she just wanted to exert her power over the Queen as she did with her husband. When she finally did move, she massively overspent her sizable stipend (over 1million in today's money) every year on the most amazing over the top lavish parties, she also bought art but often "forgot" to pay. The present Queen silently repaid all her excess creditors each year to an amount in the millions, (probably with tax payer funding), this matter wasn't known till after her death. She also died bankrupt owing many debts which the present queen silently repaid once again. Many of her financial advisers actually got ill and died early from the sheer stress of trying to manage her excessive spending, a bank also refused to give her an OD at one point. She also left out her grandchildren and great grandchildren who were not direct heirs to the throne. I'm sure she loved them all but she treated the heirs more favorably than their siblings and cousins. Also she actively helped Charles cheat on Diana and was a notorious racist and many more. Don't get me wrong, she was of enormous help to her husband but she was an extremely flawed person, like I said The Crown was very kind.

Yeah, I was wondering if she was in real life really such a monster as shown in the series. She was a horrible person in the series, the damages she had done to the family. She was vile in the show.

Thanks! If you liked this video, check out my most recent one!

Thanks man!

That was a fantastic movie.

100% this. Failing to get ERII a proper education even though they knew she’d been Queen. Awful.

King George got cancer as result of heavy smoking, which was heavily influenced by stress of him being king, which he was not supposed to be.

@@aleksaradojicic8114 The Queen’s grandfather George, who her father was named after was never supposed to have been King either as George’s eldest brother who was the heir to the throne died making the then Prince George King Edward the seventh’s new heir

@@aleksaradojicic8114 The stress must have been incredible. Not long after he became king, Europe fell, and England was being bombed every night. He eventually won the war, but lost the empire.

What she was is the family's quiet strength. She may not have spearheaded campaigns or movements but she held the family together. She stood her ground even when they were bomb which boosted the morale of her family and her people. And THAT is something essential. People who dont know any better, such as yourself, tend to undermine her.

She was influential. She had a (positive) influence on the king. She was his backbone. Here you can enter the quote “behind every men there is a strong women”. She worked in the shadows.

@@danielasilva8765 there is no proof that Hitler ever said that .... Propaganda 🤣

Queen mum was great lady and strong women

You forgot the gin.

Victoria Hamilton should got a award for her performance she was fantastic in this episode

In the show they made her seem serious for some reason. In real life she seemed more relaxed

Check out my new vid on the queen mother if you liked this one!

Hitler said she was the most dangerous woman in Europe, not "history." But same formidable presence.

Same I love her to. I don’t know why they made her seem mean in the show

Maybe! Her loss of the throne probaly did make her want to involve herself with aiding her daughter as the new queen and to keep some Influence

how do you know she was nice in real life?

also its a drama, its not real and is not meant to be. She wasn't mean anyway, just firm.

I agree. They make her seem more serious in the show. At least more serious then she seemed in real life

So nice? She beat a man with her umbrella when in South Africa til he fell off the carriage, as he tried to give them flowers. She broke Charles’ heart and was vile to Princess Alice, her daughter’s mother-in-law. She refused to heed public horror about the incarceration of her cousins. Awful woman.

@@mattyhew5121 of course it’s real. We don’t know what they said in private moments. But we know the scaffolding is absolute fact.

I think once Elizabeth second became queen they were both looked at as the head of the family

And Maria Bertram from Mansfield Park, and Henrietta Musgrove from Persuasion.

It was the whole family

not true

Stop victimizing him, he could have said no, could have given up the right to the throne for Camilla and choose her officially from the start. But he didn't and dragged a naive young girl in this whole mess.

@@91clarie so agree.

@@91clarie Glad he didnt give up the throne tho, Despite everything, I preffere Charles over Andrew as king

Elizabeth Bowes Lyon. Mary no longer was the mother of the reigning monarch so she was just a dowager Queen

I feel like the Queen Mother was a newer used title, I really don’t want think Mary or Alexandra of Denmark either used it. They were Dowager queens. I wonder if it was popularized because this was the first time in centuries that there were three living queens so they had to differentiate. Mary was Dowager Queen, the elder Elizabeth was Queen Mother as she was the mother of the Queen, and the younger Elizabeth was obviously queen regnant.

I hear that during the last year of her life queen Mary was called “queen grandmother”. Being a widow queen and the grandmother of the queen

@@piratesswoop725 The title Queen Mother has always been in play. First, with Queen Alexandra, then with Queen Mary whilst her sons held the title King, then Queen Elizabeth, consort of George VI until his death. The primary reason it's associated with the last one is because her name is also the name of the reigning queen. Neither Alexandra nor Mary needed to be called "queen mother" because their successors did not have the same names as they did. However, they were referred to as such on occasion. A Queen Dowager would be someone who was queen, but not the mother of the new sovereign, someone like Queen Adelaide who was not Queen Victoria's mother, but her aunt; or, as future events may demand, Queen Camilla when William takes the throne.

I am not sure. She sure did prevent Margaret’s happiness though, at least with Marrying peter Townsend. I think she had a big influence on the breakdown of their relationship and why they never married

By all accounts she was privately ambitious, a snob and a lush.

No she was a kind women but her duty as queen trumped her being a good mother many times and she was a fierce traditionalist while Margaret was a more emotional person so there were short fallings on her side from that. Part of her also changed when her husband died so that made her less empathetic

@@ernest7906 i dont understand i thought the show was accurate like everything in show is true

@@simsimmer3040 not at all, the show took a lot of creative liberties, a lot of it is just speculation from the writers and some of it is simply untrue

Her mother-in-law was called Queen Mary (never Queen Dowager that I know of). Her daughter was always simply The Queen. But as they had the same given name there had to be some way to distinguish them. So she opted for a title that had the word Queen in it twice.

There can be a king and queen consort, or a queen regnant and a prince consort

@@Infernoytedits thank you!

@@Infernoytedits does that mean Camilla will actually be a queen one day? For some reason I can’t imagine people accepting her

@@KingJackson11355 unfortunately

@@Infernoytedits William and Mary were co-sovereigns as they held equal rank. Mary, while the actual inheritor of the crown following the Glorious Revolution, was not known to be interested in the day-to-day stuff of state, so it was most often her husband William of Orange who ran things.

Actually In real life she was very nice and amazing. They just made her seem mean in the show for some reason

@@samadams2575 I totally agree

She lost the love of her life and had been living with him since the 30’s, of course she was emotionally impacted. Show some damn compassion

That’s a bit insensitive

She supported her husband who led the western front against the Nazis during WWII until US came along. She gave birth to QEII. These are quite the contributions.

@@sleepysalsw the western front was led by Americans not the King after Hitler had whipped them, can you imagine Britain winning the War without American material support initially and later military support by USA and USSR, Britain fought only because it could rely on its cousins across the Atlantic pond and it could count on scores of material and manpower support from the Empire (British Indian Army was the largest volunteer Army in history 2.5million troops Why should India send it's troops to fight Germany with whom it had no quarrel) Britain was a minor player, is a minor player So please get out of your shell of self importance, without US support Britain is a third rate power today, with RAF, RN, and British Army just a shadow of its former self, it's importance is it's dependant territories are used for money laundering (The London Financial City), all crooks with corruption money from Third country come to Britain with their I'll gotten wealth (they started this after they were humiliated in the Suez Crisis in 1950's), if you consider that an important position be my Guest

@@sleepysalsw If you want to really see how little she did, you can compare her to a royal who actually did a lot. Non-British royals often have a lot less resources but achieve a lot more. Here is a great guy, who helped religious tolerance, stood up for his people and helped create wealth and stability en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_III,_Duke_of_Anhalt-Dessau

Hitler did refer to her as "the most dangerous woman in Europe." That's quite heavy.... Coming from Hitler.
