I Just Watched “A Look At The British Families Below The Poverty Line In 1975 | Our History”

This was from 1975. I’ve watched a lot of documentaries, primarily American and British, about the struggles people living in poverty must endure. It’s heart breaking…. Hearing about people going to bed hungry or not knowing if they’d even have a place to live from day to day really tugs on your heart. I watched one from Chicago where the presenter asked where they saw themselves in five years… More than one said they would be lucky to...

Is 2020 Now The Queen’s New Annus Horribilis? | Last Battles

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 lot of historians who would love to get their hands on that. It was the first time I heard it said that Meghan...

It was heart breaking to hear their stories. I read some of the comments which really bothered me… There were a few who said they did not feel sorry for...

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 could handle being the last one standing, I really don’t. It’d be interesting to see how the world is 100 years from now,...

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 was put in an undignified position as a result of her attending the New Years Eve event. It would be two years later...
