Britain retains the values of the Queen, not Meghan Markle | Simon Heffer interview 

Very civilized.😑.

We need sanity that comes with order. Thanks guys

Agreed

His recent interview with Nigel Farage is excellent too.

Indeed.very rare Nowadays. Concise, truthful and very Real. He represents the Britain we Truly Know.

❤

💯❤

@@ermiecole9388 qq

Absolutely.

Well said. I can’t agree more. All these propagandists comments without any basis in facts, fly in the face of a history that people of my age have witnessed.

This American too😉

U❤

Ditto for this American, also!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Fourth of July ring a bell?

@@irmaadams7780 Yeh, that's my aunts birthday. I hope I don't forget.

Slavery and theft are not and will never be great traits. # AbolishTheMonarchy

Simon Heffer seems to be a typical spoilt brat, istn´t he?

Well said. Couldn't have put it better myself.

@@annavannoni definitely agree

Actually, she, her sister and her parents lived in Buckingham Palace for the entire WWII, they stayed, even when it was bombed, not once, not twice, but 3 times.

Spot on

I agree everyone helped each other

As I was I and agree totally. I am Anglo Greek and might be considered to view the traditional British reserve as cold but that is to misunderstand the Greeks. Any body seeing them in war would have understood that. And in any case the current superficial empty pop star shout outs at concerts and like ,mean nothing and convey nothing. And if did not make money ,they would be at home with the feet up curling their toes. It's about time the entire poseur charade was called out.

I completely, wholeheartedly agree.

Couldn't agree more... the late Queen was someone very wise and very much loved around the world. She is a big miss. The heartache those two had given her and the others in the royal family was ghastly..to say the least.

Heffer is a wonderful writer. Always considered and researched opinion: puts the Guardian, Observer and Independent equivalents to shame.

The interviewer was excellent also. Not interrupting but intelligent questions. Well done

@@bernadettespeakman355 Yes, I think so too. Simon is a wonderful interviewer.

THANKYOU that is the one thing I keep commenting on - as a nation we have lost manners, morals & respect...& there in a nutshell is what is wrong with this country - from the late 80's early 90's its just been a downward spiral... sadly if the snowflakes & woke brigade get a foot on the ladder we're doomed. People have forgotten how to laugh without making it a PC agenda.. sad really..

Many adored her in the USA also

@@m5sunflower665 I’m in the USA, technically. 🇺🇸 ❤️

amen

😊😊

He’s very skilful in that he leads with suggestions and then allows his fellow guest answer fully carefully guiding his subject back into the original question before moving on. So many interviewers cut off their subjects before they finish the question. This was very noticeable in this piece. Impressive. 😂

My sentiments exactly.

That is because he has been educated to think laterally and come to his own conclusions and possibly does not follow the crowd. He also possibly has a moral code by which he lives, independent of public opinion. Good man. One to watch for the future I suggest

Can’t get enough Steven Egerton. Every interview a classic. He’s exactly what we need in a world full of the likes of Piers Morgan and Jeremy Paxman with their constant interruption and over inflated egos.

Oh..was she ever...a legend..part of 70 years of history .. I am affected trully by such cruelty ..,that is not the only word wish to say.,but refrain myself. from more...only out of big respect and admiration... Lets pray for the royal family .ask God to make them even stronger in such trial times. .Amen..

Not quite sure we should have remained a commonwealth As someone with Irish blood that would not work for me My great great grandparents were famine babies and had to leave their native land thanks to the Brits that starved them and punished them when they spoke their native language Thats a big no for me

Our country has changed so much... I miss how England used to be... but I do love our royal family... I think the young generation don't have the same bond as us older ones... sad really

The US is a great country with some really seedy forces attempting to destroy it from within.

M6

Both Charles and his father consider people as nuisances that need to be removed to save the environment. Too bad the royalists can't see this

Nailed it

Perfect summation

Certainly true. Wonderful to hear the truth, and not strictly opinion which is what is see in mainstream media/news stations now. Excellent interview.

Yes very telling in the right way.

How refreshing, how valuable. A cut above most

really enjoyed this meeting, what is the young journalists name?

Just found it Steven Edginton.

👍

Yes, me too. About an inch of ice on the inside of the window and multiple blankets on my bed.

@@heatherwilkinson5136 Remember the chillblains? A less than pleasant side effect of hot water bottles.

Caroline oh how great. People look a t me like I'm crazy when i say eiderdowns when they insist they are Doona's its part of my 'heritage'🇦🇺💜🙃🙂🌈🇦🇺

Since we lived in Europe my 4 sister's n mom we too did not have central heat. The Mansion s didn't have central heat then either. . And we spent Winters at school in a convent I don't know how they kept it warm.

No it is not . In her time , an heir could not become King with a divorcee as his wife . Now that seems to be okay .

He is very special.

It's not an empire or impressionism, it's an anninting from God to have the an good soul that cared for the ppl, environmentbm animals

Not imperialism

Great interview tribute to the queen 👸🏻👏👏👏

I agree 🇨🇦

Indeed 🇮🇪☘

Yes! The hatred of the Queen by indigenous people is crazy. How do they think the Queen is responsible for their lives. French is widely spoken in Canada, yet never do they speak of the French I'm sick of them and the vile memes, yet they want sympathy for their residential schools. From the Queen. Money from the Queen. Ignored the kind message from the Queen on the recent mass stabbings by the now dead two brothers. Why do they not blame the government and focus on the government's role?

Oh Canada is a mess…..lack of leadership

💯 agree with your comments.

When I visited Australia, as much as I truely loved every moment of it, I was horrified, or disappointed by the lack of solid intellectual content that's presented through the media. The people are fabulous but would do much better with an injection of intellectual juice.

Nice to here a pro talking here on youtube

I agree.

Me too!

He certainly know his history

He already is. Mine too!

Agreed. 50yo American here

52 year old Brit. Never heard of him before today and just ordered all his books 😮 didn’t know I was so interested in social history.

@Tab Ford thanks for the recommendation!

Agree. Apparently admired by everyone here except Her granddaughter-in-law, Oprah and sycophant and self-professed royal expert Gayle King.

Yes 🇺🇸 we hold Her Majesty The Queen in utmost respect, and treasure her memory. ❤️

I am an American born post WWII 1946, dad came home from the Navy and they had me. They couldn’t get diapers, baby clothes or baby bottles. My dad went to get a suit to get married in and there was only one on the rack. It was a woolen tweed black and white. My grandmother worked at a department store and she bought a bolt of white flannel and they cut it up and made diapers for me out of that. I can’t imagine how much suffering they went through and that is why they were called The Greatest Generation. They made great sacrifices and they were very brave and strong. I admired the Queen very much. She worked right up till the bitter end. How many other people worked as long as she did. I don’t think there will ever be another one like her. Don’t pay attention to the New York Times, most of us normal people don’t read it. Thousands of white men died in a National war to abolish slavery. It was the Southern Plantation owners who used them as free labor to pick the cotton. My people where half Irish and half English so some of my ancestors suffered for being Irish and that is why they immigrated to America to get away from the prejudices. They then settled in the area of Boston the North and were in the Northern army. How many people of color ever want to leave either country to go back to living in Africa? My Irish ancestors found signs where the Irish weren’t allowed to get hired for a job in America so my people were held in contempt in both countries. People have been mean and ugly towards their fellow man for generations. Hopefully most people have a better life now than in the past.

She was the Queen during the British atrocities in Kenya.

Atrocious behaviour in all of Africa with or without England’s presence. They also brought a good deal of good.

And her $$ and live on meager salary of Townsend Too bad Margret should have squired some skills and got up in the morning

@@artn2950 truthfully the Queen was going to fix that too. She would not have seen her sister suffer so to speak. Sadly the 2 years apart from Townsend softened her feelings and when push came to shove she didn't trust that love to carry them thru thick and thin.

Leggi arcaiche e obsolete . ‼️ La Monarchia con i suoi divieti, protocolli e obblighi è fuori dalla realtà. Speriamo che il Vostro Re Carlo faccia meglio.

🇺🇸 Here too! I had no idea they would be this good!

Yes, let’s compare to the Bill Clinton and now the Joe Biden years. There is no one like the Queen. I love the fact that she was friends with Billy Graham. Her faith gave her a huge measure of Wisdom, Truth, and Grace. Meghan and Harry are lacking in wisdom and it seems to be a heart issue. If she cannot honor her own father who gave her love and all he could monetarily, then what can one say? RIP to your brave and wise Queen.

Totally agreed👍!

Lack of historical research is what the US media is lacking

I totally agree!🇺🇸

For those people who aren't very familiar with grammatical terms, the definite article in English is 'the'..., the indefinite article is 'a'. English definite and indefinite articles don't have male and female versions as they do in many other languages, ie, Der, Die and Das in German are male, female and neuter.... oops, sorry my inner language nerd is on the loose again!

@@annk1019 Don't apologise! There's nothing at all wrong with using good grammar.

Die here means The

@@annk1019 I appreciate your inner language nerd. 👍🙂

The Windsor family line has roots in Germany, I believe.

I don’t pay attention to the NYT’s nonsense and I’m an American.

The NYT and the rest of the American media needs to stay out of another country's affairs. It's none of their business...look at what happening in your own country.

@@sandrapersaud3105 Totally agree.

@@sandrapersaud3105 Oh how true…👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Indeed so. Edginton was working for the Sun, and his interviews went under the banner of "Burning Issues". His move to the Telegraph has been no surprise. I wonder if in time he will become an industry standard, because he is well prepared, and teases-out the answers that other interviewees might otherwise obfuscate. So, much applause Steven Edginton 👏🏻

💯

Maybe so but she allow genocide and the theft of many ,many resources from Africia and India. So slavery is not the big picture but yet a small part of he evil. I dont even start with the Irish people.She was no angel .

I believe we never had slaves in U.K. though we had indentured servants who were native Brits. However Africa, the Middle East and far East had slavery and still do up to this day. So all the naysayers, particularly the woke poc s can’t face this fact and continue to lie.

@@Shoshana-xh6hc Exactly.

P.M. Stanley

@@Shoshana-xh6hc What is woke poc s ?

So much integrity, she spent 12 million pounds of taxpayers money to pay off her pedophile son's accuser.

I’m an American and I agree completely!

💯

So true, sadly.

Amen!

Neglected by Harry at the end Shameful

Of course but if we all just give up because the great ones have all died then where will we be? I do believe William and Catherine are selfless and will do wonders ion the throne. King Charles and Queen Camilla are fine and are selfless but they don't have a lot of time left to make that difference. King Charles literally just gave back over a billion to his people...don't know of any other billionaire that has done that.

YOUR Queen…??🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

@@Ionabrodie69 yes she was that only Queen I've known on this planet we live. I will miss her.

I am same age...remember watching the Queen's coronation on tiny TV .

How different the world would be is everyone emulated her.

“We will meet again.” Echoes of eternity. And I’m sure she meant it that way.

For me, as well.

Ah yes, William, by Richmal Crompton. My father (post-WW1 baby boomer) was an avid reader of William. He left a vast pile of those books, of which I have read a dozen or so. My brother was a bigger fan, and all my father's collection is now in his possession. I was more into Jennings, by Anthony Buckeridge.

Deep admiration for this; I know your memories must be beautiful. I am 70 and I have been reading English literature since I was 10. The best of it in children’s lit and then at University.

She’s a legend, iconic - globally!

Its a pity then that one too many of Joe public who shout the loudest for the queen don't adopt the Christian values in their own day to day lives and interactions with fellow human beings The speed at which folk switch from respective and solemn mourning for the a human being titled the queen to spewing abuse towards other human beings called Harry and Meghan and predictably Meghan merely confirms that one too many of Joe public have a lovely smile but still have a lot of hatred in their soul that merely shows they are a pretty petty and immature

Truly a truth teller.

@@carolinebarnes6832 you,0

Wow, I never knew that It should be told in history books , WAKE up the patriotic spirit again, ❤

I am amazed and thankful that an American has actually understood the privations of the British people both during the war and its aftermath. We fought alone for some time before the USA joined the conflict after Pearl Harbour was bombed. It's good to get some recognition at last 🇬🇧

@@alimar0604 it’s worth noting too, that it was our US (along with other commonwealth countries) brothers and sisters that came to our aid in our darkest hours! The price paid by all the above will never be forgotten or diminished. United we stand, divided we all fall!

The Brits were the only occupying power in defended Germany whose soldiers didn't rape and loot.

@Kimberley Perrotis I dont think many people now realise that rationing continued in the UK for longer (until 1954) than it did in Germany (1950). The UK was the last country to end rationing.

Having lived in a Muslim country...we abided by their laws and rules..."or else".

Well said!

Yes, well said. When we are younger we don't appreciate the education given to us or we view it through a different lens.

She’s only a reflection of herself not her country as is Harry , both as bad as each other imo 😊

I also apologize for both the Times and Markle. But I do not think they represent most of the American people.

CNN is going down the toilet...

Tou are not alone on this. I have been saying this too but Megan's pr agents and mouthpiece, scooby doo keep releasing lies to get reactions. The rf too keep making Harry and megan relevant.

I agree - I'm so tired of all the hate and negativity.

The Queen never work a day in her life.

Spineless worthless object

But reparations??

Meghan is young and grew up in America and was poor. She doesn't understand the rules of England. She deserves mercy and for people to give her tolerance. The Queen was born into privilege. Meghan has relevance in today's world.

@@PeachGirl46 What?! Megan was never poor. And the Queen's privilege was serving common wealth, her country and citizens even before she became Queen. Meghan's relevance is superficial and she will be remembered for serving herself, no one else and hurting everyone around her in the process.

@@PeachGirl46 Sugar 😂

@@PeachGirl46 🤣😅

@@PeachGirl46 I am a commoner from Norway, yet I know and understand the rules and the traditions, cultures and laws of England,it's a matter of educating oneself and not be ignorant to other countries and cultures.

Thank God for that.
