I am a royalist but I have to say that she was a truly atrocious woman. Thoroughly irresponsible, arrogant, and entitled.
ОтветитьDisliked by pretty much everybody who had to work for her.
ОтветитьLong live the new Republic of Scotland. A future UN and EU member state.
ОтветитьNext time it'll be a 9 Million.
ОтветитьThe British Monarchy brings in Billions of dollars to the British economy...they are a live working Museum....
ОтветитьWhile people starved then and now. No one can afford medications. Trash.
Ответитьall that to dress up such a homely woman....all the silk and diamonds couldnt make her less homely. how did she get picked being so homely ? was her it her linage ? her family line ?
ОтветитьShe never did a day's work in her life but, like most snobs, enjoyed spending other peoples money!
ОтветитьDisgraceful 😮
Ответитьdunk bigot and sponger
ОтветитьThe crown gets a lot of money when the subjects pass away as an estate duty.
ОтветитьOMG
ОтветитьPeople homeless ,familys thrown out of rented accomodation, 4.2 million children in are growing up in poverty and yet these people for no reason other than they have a title live and spend like they do miss treat and abuse like they do and we the people of the UK let it happen when are we going to make a change ...
ОтветитьAt the time, I read that Prince Charles and the Duchy of Cornwall paid her bills
ОтветитьI’m not from UK but as a Queen Mother of Great Britain I would have expected her to live a really high class lifestyle. I’m really surprised that she was only £7m in debt. I understand the uk pm and wife are worth more than 100x that!
ОтветитьNo wonder so many hate the Royal Family. Too much cost for too little return.
ОтветитьSuch an extravagant Changeling.
ОтветитьBritish working classes have fought for royal families and plantation owners in the second world war too.And they are still rich,and working classes still struggling.
ОтветитьAnd I forgot one thing, and I quote her, “What colour will the baby be?” 🙀
ОтветитьI met the old “Giddy Biddy” once when she came out to lunch with a couple of her girlfriends at a restaurant I happen to be in. She seemed to be in good spirits, but she insisted that one of her girlfriends pick up the bill! I couldn’t believe it!🙀
ОтветитьThe ignorance of some of the people commenting here is staggering. Won't waste my time explaining how the Monarchy works.... I support the Queen Mother's choices, like spending money on relationships rather than carpeting. Calm down, people.
ОтветитьDelusions of grandure. Andrew following granny until he got caught by modern communications.
ОтветитьThe accompanying music perfectly aligns with the perfidious class system created by fake money to yield a nadir in elitist pseudo-civilisation.
ОтветитьHorrible old bastard
Ответитьdiscusting
ОтветитьThe Queen Mother was holding the UK together whilst your parents were learning to wipe their ass. Suck it.
ОтветитьIt not her fault it's the system silly.😊
ОтветитьPlease don't worry about any of this as it does not matter. The current King is a WEF socialist and has spoken many times about being frugal and not growing attached to wealth per se. The main slogan of the WEF is that "You will own nothing and be happy". King Charles will give up all his wealth, including Royal titles and join the people in owning nothing. Just watch and see.
ОтветитьI really enjoyed this brief overview of the Queen Mum's life-style. But what I didn't like were those awful drawings of her majesty and assorted friends. Now we all know that the ladies of the royal family are known for their crooked teeth and thick ankles. We all know that. But your so-called touch-up artist actually made the Queen Mum look more like Marjorie Main in a tiara than our beloved, slightly tipsy Empress. If you're going to tell the truth, tell the g__ da__ truth. Thank you ever so much!
ОтветитьA despicable, entitled racist.
ОтветитьThe poor Queen Elizabeth the Queen
ОтветитьAnyone who has knowledge of how the wealthy in Britain ruthlessly guard their wealth will not be surprised to know that she was not a particularly nice person.
ОтветитьA regular Marie Antoinette!😳
ОтветитьFrom all the documentaries that I have watched about the British Royal family, I came to a conclusion that the late Queen Elizabeth the 2nd and Prince William are the only good members of that family
ОтветитьNot pretty folk
ОтветитьTo Shup up etc. its because we have no choice. The whole monarchical system was put in place by sycophantic supporters plus craven Aristocrats and pusillanimous polititions have kept it going ever since. It is a disgrace in this day and age and underscores the fact that we are not a true democracy. Numerous offices and persons in the Government service including all MP, Military Officers, Court Officers etc must swear loyalty to the monarch and his descendants. Its ridiculous.
ОтветитьThe AI imagery of the queen mother was so kind to leave out her filthy teeth 🤢
ОтветитьIt's not a shocker at all. She was a horrible person. A parasite who never did an honest days work in her life.
ОтветитьQuite the spender indeed! She really had a good eye for fashion and wore the best and most elegant to be had it appears! This is the reverse of HRH Elizabeth!!
ОтветитьShe was an empty shell.
ОтветитьWhen she was the Duchess of York, she was certainly not known for her generosity regarding the staff's wages. In fact, the honour of being employed by her was considered part of the salary; however, this was mostly compensated when next you applied for a position elsewhere.
ОтветитьAbsolutely disgusting! She was a useless woman who did nothing to contribute to the people. A spoilt brat AND she was rude and mean. What is the purpose of having a monarchy when all they do is go to charity opening and ribbon cutting.
ОтветитьThe intro to this video doesn't explain how much the Queen Mother actually spent of taxpayer money. Very general figures, except for the Queen Mother's funeral, that can be spun as needed. The point is that the Queen Mother's debts were handled, I am sure properly, by the Queen Elizabeth II. I do think the Queen Mother's support to her husband durig WWII is an importat contribution to her nation. She wasn't useless. Nonetheless, despite the awful photoshop used to add a face that somewhat resembles the Queen Mother, the video is interesting and worth watching.
ОтветитьWE PAID FOR THE EXCESSES OF THIS VILE WOMAN!!!!
The "Royal Purse" comes from collecting taxes.
Time this outdated, irrelevant system was scrapped - along with Britain's most publicly, dysfunctional family!
Scroungers!!!!
So the Queen mother managed to get millions from the Queen and the civil list because she was overdrawn at the bank, Yet when she died she had millions in assets? The money William and Harry and the other great grandchildren inherited from her was in effect money laundering.
ОтветитьIt always makes me really angry to think that people like the Queen mother would be so very extravagant with tax payers money. When I think of all the poor and often destitute families at that time. All those children going without food, shoes, clothes and often even a home, did she ever consider those unfortunate people I wonder, probably not. Until watching your video I wasn’t aware of how utterly disgustingly snobbish and pampered she was.
ОтветитьShe was £3M in debt when she died.Why do you say it's £7M?
