I don’t get to watch very many new documentaries on the Royal Family, so this was really nice. Her first Annus Horribilis was in 1992… so the title is a play on that. I learned, that like Queen Victoria, she has written in her diary every day for 70 years. I bet there are a…

I Just Watched “World’s Longest Reigning Living Monarch | The Life Of Queen Elizabeth | Real Royalty” on YouTube
One of the people interviewed said the chances that Queen Elizabeth would be queen would be similar to Princess Beatrice becoming Queen today, it’s unlikely. She, nor her father for that matter, expected to become the King or Queen…. As we know, it wasn’t until his brother’s abdication that paved the way for Elizabeth to…
I Just Watched “Queen Elizabeth II vs. Princess Margaret : Love & Loyalty – British Royal Documentary” on YouTube
Queen Elizabeth has lived a privileged life, but she also has experienced a lot of tragedy. She is the last person living from the family she was born into. It was neat to see Queen Mary, the Queen Mother and (at the time) Princess Elizabeth… all in the same video. At one time there were…
I’m Watching “The Remarkable Life Of The Queen Mother | A Century In 100 Minutes | Real Royalty with Foxy Games” on YouTube
I’m Watching a documentary about the queen mother. She was the last royal from the Edwardian period in British history.. Looking at all this old footage just reminds me how fleeting life really is. Noone lives forever… at the most 100 years if you’re lucky. But are you really lucky? I don’t think I’d want…
I Justed Watched 👸👑🤴🇬🇧”Secrets Of The Royals on Tour Episode 2 – British Royal Documentary” on YouTube
Sometimes it bothers me to watch these…. because it often shows family members of Queen Elizabeth, that are no longer here. I don’t know why that bothers me so much. I think about how the Queen must feel to be the only person from her family’s generation to still be alive. I don’t think I…
I’m Watching “Elizabeth II: Our Queen Episode 3 – Crown in Crisis – British Royal Documentary” on YouTube. 👑👑
I did not realize that the royal family did not pay taxes, specifically inheritance taxes. The Royals have been under constant threat of losing their royal status, with calls over the years to dismantle the monarchy. But they never seem to be bothered by it… In typical British fashion… they “remain calm and carry on”…
I’m Watching “Elizabeth II: Our Queen – Episode 4 – Tragedy & Triumph – British Royal Documentary” on YouTube 🇬🇧🇬🇧
The documentary starts out with Queen Elizabeth on New Years Eve 2000 at the Millenium Dome in London, which had just been built. Tony Blair, the prime minister, wanted her to be there. You could tell she was very uncomfortable. In a rare display of public affection, Prince Phillip gave her a kiss. The queen…
I Just Watched “Megyn Kelly Has an ‘Unsympathetic’ View of Prince Harry and Meghan’s Pleads for Protection | GMB” on YouTube
I’m not a fan of Megyn Kelly, but I agree with everything she said about Prince Harry and Meghan. I saw a meme about the situation the other day that had queen elizabeth in a car, holding a gun.. It was captioned “You spend $34M on a wedding and your daughter in law bitches to…
I Just Watched Two Episodes of “The Royal House of Windsor” on Netflix
I just finished watching episode 2 of the “Royal House of Windsor on Netflix. I watched the first episode last night. I’m learning quite a bit more about British history. I’m really enjoying it. There are six episodes, I plan on finishing them all.
