Because he was afraid of her. She was the only one he had deeply respect for and that made him scared. Because she wouldn’t keep quiet about things that was wrong
For anybody wondering,Hitler called her the most dangerous woman in Europe because of her popularity and she was very tough she taught herself how to shoot,and when she and her children were suggested safety in Canada when WW2 was going on she famously replied “The children won’t go without me.I won’t leave without the King.And the King will never leave”he was shocked that a woman wasn’t intimidated by him.
Well that’s the propaganda. Wonder what the real story was. We will never know since the rich and powerful control the media and lie to the common people.
@@rcristy the Queen Mother was Scottish..and since when do we say a family living in a country for generations is german..thats like saying every American was has german ancestry was a german
Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon was a force to be reckoned with before She became our late Queen Mum, upon Her marriage to King George VI. She adored Her darling Bertie. I had especially admired Her after seeing footage of Her going out & about to see people that had been bombed out in London. When the palace was bombed, She said "I can finally look the East End in the eye". What a truly great lady, very truly a lady. I love how they referred to their little family as "we four". I'm sure Her Late Majesty QEII was grateful to have such a good mother, to show Her how it's done. Footage of them together at the races, how excited & gleeful they were to be together & doing something they both loved. All four, together again, in Heaven. Both Elizabeths particularly had well-earned their rest.
He called her, Queen Elizabeth, wife of Kinge George VI, the most dangerous woman in the world. When it was suggested that the two little princesses (Elizabeth and Margaret) be sent to Canada, the queen said that they wouldn't leave without her, she would not leave without the king, and the king would NEVER leave.
And what’s even more admirable is that he really did not want to be king, and she never wanted to be Queen. As it was, she twice refused the proposal of then then Duke of York because she didn’t want to marry into the Royal Family. She only relented, and finally accepted when he asked to marry her the third time as he was only the second son and wouldn’t become King. She never forgave the Duke of Windsor for abdicating, especially after George VI died. She blamed the Duke and Duchess of Windsor for causing her beloved husband so much stress that he died very young. Yet on taking on those roles they did their duty when it came to the crunch.
Isn't that the truth! I have heard that the sound of the pipes approaching was a great motivator to an ally fatigued under combat, for they knew the Scots, the warrior class, were on the way to assist them. And the enemy, scared to pieces because they know the Scots are ready to fight to the death, to the last man standing, if need be. It's interesting to me how the Vikings were able to take a large portion of England from the Anglo-Saxons, but left large portions of Scotland alone.
And here in America, our early settlers relished having Scots-Irish neighbors because they wouldn't back down from a scrap. And in America's history, some of our greatest military heros have been Scots or Scots-Irish.
She also had the ear of TWO monarchs (even three, as she was absolutely in the company of her MIL, Queen Mary, quite a bit!), a lot of control over the household (as the Queen and the Queen Mum), and the people revered her especially in her youth. She was considered a loving and supportive Queen and mother to the sovereign, and she wasn't the type to accept no or back down. She also liked to control the lives of the royal family members around her and had no problem telling anyone what to do. And she never took orders from anyone, especially not her husband. She had no feminine fear of or deference to men, which was considered the standavrd for a woman of her position of her time.
I disagree! I think she was very scared, considering that if everything went south her children would suffer the most. Yet, she chose face it all and fight!!! Also, you're not brave if you're not scared. And boy was she brave!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
If England and all of Europe sided with Germany......I wonder what kind of world we would have had?? Japan would have been put in its place but the US would have done what the Britian did. German would have been the main language around the world and not English. The path not taken. Germany controls the EU today. Europeans seem content in the EU with exception to immigration. Netherlands, Poland, Hungary want out of the EU only because of the tons of immigrats coming from Africa and Asia on a daily basis. I don't think Hitler Germany would have approved. Greece and Turkey have benefited from the EU as their economies tanked and Germany bailed them out!
For anyone confused, she was Queen Elizabeth II's mother. Her name was actually also Elizabeth and she was queen consort, she is known as the Queen mother because she was well, the queen's mother and a queen herself. Also casually referring to her as "Queen Elizabeth" could be confusing because that's also her daughter's name, and there was also a Queen Elizabeth (I) in the past.
Yes except she was referred to as “Queen Elizabeth” during the reign of her husband George VI. She was Queen Elizabeth before she assumed the informal title “Queen Mother”. It is not incorrect to call her Queen Elizabeth. For anyone born before 1952, she would have been the first Queen Elizabeth that they knew.
@@direfranchement I didn't say it was incorrect lmao I also didn't say she wasn't referred to as "Queen Elizabeth" - obviously she was - or that she was always called "the Queen Mother", I just explained why they call her that a lot nowadays, because saying "Queen Elizabeth" can be confusing NOW. The title "Queen Mother" or "Queen Elizabeth, the queen mother" makes it a bit easier and more specific so people know who is being referred to as of modern times. Also for English people living before 1952, she wasn't necessarily the first Queen Elizabeth they knew of, there was Queen Elizabeth I long ago (who was queen regnant like Queen Elizabeth II). The queen who just passed away was not officially named "the second" after her mother, it was because there was a queen regnant (meaning ruled in her own right, not just married to a king) before called Queen Elizabeth. That queen is is now referred to as Elizabeth the first, while the Queen who started her reign in 1952, is the second. Her mother is not "Queen Elizabeth the first", but was Queen Elizabeth. So using the "queen mother" title makes it more specific who you're talking about and therefore les confusing nowadays. I didn't say she wasn't also called "Queen Elizabeth" or that that title was incorrect. Stop assuming things and jumping to conclusions.
You only address the queen or king with "I", "II", etc, etc ( Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III) if they ruled on their own right or they are the monarch. If they are a consort, they will be addressed as Queen (Name) without the number (even if they have the same name as previous queen. You can call the Queen Mother Queen Elizabeth and her daughter Queen Elizabeth II
@@silentririnneur5315 that's exactly what I explained. It's just that you can technically also call Queen Elizabeth II just "Queen Elizabeth" too so that's why it can be confusing for some people
THIS WOMAN SIMPLY KNEW WHO THE HECK SHE WAS AND WHAT HER PLACE WAS IN SOCIETY , AND SHE WASNT GOING TO PLAY, ...WAS EXTREMELY SERIOUS, ABOUT HER ROLE AS QUEEN OF ENGLAND THANK GOD , MAY OUR DEAR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY RICHLY BLESS AND REST HER BEAUTIFUL SOUL..🤔🤗👌👍🌟👏👏👏👏👏🤨☺️😲🎁🎉🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎀.
She perfectly balances out her husband's gentle and more softer demeanor with her loud and resilient demeanor. Britain was blessed with this couple as their heads of state.
And yet now, they’ve allowed for the banning of firearms, the allowance of foreigners destroying their nation with little punishment, can’t even carry a literal BOX cutter knife without SAS being sent to your house, and now you can’t even own a knife and the police are tyrannical. So much for caring about the country.
yes while the cost of living keeps rising and more and more people struggle to pay the bills and feed their children. The royals really do care don’t they 🤡
@@opheliawinfrey9501i think they meant the british resistance when they stood for a year on there own the royal family played a big role in moral with the younger generation joining the military and the king and queen stayong in london even when bombs hit there palace
@@opheliawinfrey9501 this is such a coincidence - I clicked on this comment to ask "what resistance?" and did a double take when I saw, not only had someone already made that comment, but that it was *A FELLOW OPHELIA!* That is so very rare! At least it's been rare for me in my four decades on this planet. Nice to meet you ☺️
Will you be guilty on Judgment day? Have you lied? Stolen? Looked with lust? Used God's name in vain? God knows your thought life. Everyone has broken God's moral law, The wages of sin is death (Hell). But God showed His mercy by sending His only Son to live the perfect sinless life that we could never live. He then willingly died on the cross to pay your debt in full, taking on the punishment that we all deserve. When you trust in Jesus Christ and repent, which means to turn from sin, His righteousness will be credited to your account and you will have eternal life.
Given how soft spoken her husband was, she was the iron behind the monarchy at a time of great turmoil. She looked fierce in public. I imagine she was the type of person who could've looked him in the face and told him exactly what she thought of him.
@@rovanajean9550 Search it up on RU-vid, there were a lot of royals, who were Nazi sympathisers. I'd recommend a video by Lindsay Holliday on the topic if you're interested.
she was a fighter and i bet she visits hell just to beat up hitler edit : thank you so much for all the likes edit 2 : I relished that she was not a nice women but anyway tysm for all the likes
Hitler probably recognized how important she was to the king. In addition to being popular in her own right, she was exactly the kind of support the king needed by his side, especially through the war. The king was an enormously important symbol of resistance, and the war took a massive toll on him, but without her by his side, he probably wouldn't have made it through.
the king wasnt much of a power symbol in england it was the queen who had the power not the king, it was the queen who commanded and gave various orders and had a say in law NOT KING, your entire comment is ignorant so kindly do some research
@@user-is6iz9ww9b What? It was the King who was the monarch, not Queen Elizabeth. Queen Elizabeth was a consort, not the ruling monarch. She did not have more say in law than him, that’s just straight up wrong.
@@p1kkuma do you know queen victoria introduced a term called consort king you might wanna search it up. And elizabeth ranked higher then king both by power and crown, queen elizabeth was queen regnant not consort its general knowledge where you getting your info from? and you know nothing about how much say the royal family has on constitional laws
@@user-is6iz9ww9b um i feel like maybe you're talking about queen elizabeth I, while the video is talking about queen elizabeth aka the queen mother aka queen elizabeth II's mother. but queen elizabeth I did not have a husband ever... and she was also born centuries ago lol, so i'm not sure what you're talking about lol. queen elizabeth II's mother (the woman this video is about) was definitely not queen regnant lol. She was not born into royalty, she married into royalty through her husband King George VI aka Prince Albert who became the monarch. She then became queen consort. After King George VI's death, Queen Elizabeth II became the new monarch. You can just google this information... If you still believe you're right, then please give me some links to your evidence, as I'm very curious what you're talking about.
As a result, she has daughter who become queen with strong and long leadership in all queens and kings in Britain and the world...she passed through many Times the hardest situation in this world, like wars... The grandfather of Elizabeth from her dad said Henry or George Will not be the kings but Lilibeth Will be the queen for Britain...
I'd say Elizabeth II's father did an admirable job considering he never wanted it. I think his wife, the Queen Consort, was a great help to him. But his reign was not long. The UK does well with Queens, it seems. And I think this time period will be the Second Elizabethan age, marked at the end by her death (obviously), and politically by Brexit.
@@jenniferhanses7064 well she and her dad was a monarch only because her dad's older brother abdicated from the throne cus he fell in love with an outsider and that was against the protocol so he chose love and left the crown to his younger Brother (Elizabeth II's father).
No, her son Edward was king, he abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson, then his brother George was coronated, George died of cancer and then his elder daughter was coronated as Queen Elizabeth II. So Queen Mary was Queen Elizabeth’s grandmother.
My great uncle (who was a cook in the Royal Canadian Navy during WWII), always referred to every woman as a “dame” or a “broad”, interchangeably, including myself (I was the little dame or broad). However, if you ever asked him about when he met the Queen mum, he would sit up a little straighter in his chair get a bit misty eyed, and he would say “she’s a real lady”, the only woman he ever referred to that way, I think it really impressed him when she was visiting the ship he was assigned to, it was a large ship and she could have had tea in the officer’s mess, she instead had tea in the galley with the cooks, perched on the counter sitting on a tea towel.
Yes She was charming and Queen Like and quite regal and 😢authoritative but she could get a cold, still look about her when thinking of dealing with Hitler, or his threats. You KNEW (my parents said) she would despatch him very quickly if he or his nazi gang ever got into the palace.
Lovely story. There’s a lot of stories like that about her visiting ‘ordinary’ people and not expecting pomp and ceremony. It’s because the RF behave similarly to the way QEtQM did on your grandfather’s ship, when meeting people in person, that so many people respect the RF.
Pure Evil???? Wow you people really don't know the truth behind Adolph Hitler and what really happened. I was blown away when I learned of it and have zero sympathy for the Jewish as they are still doing evil things and forcing their agenda on the US and other countries. That's why they were not liked and still aren't. Sad but true. Our history is made up of lies. EUROPA Is a documentary that people should check out before responding negatively. Mind blowing. Seriously
@@6552tazAgree. Queen (Consorts) Alexandra, Mary, Elizabeth (Queen Mother) married princes/heirs & gave birth to heirs. Queen Elizabeth, PDiana & PCatherine all gave birth to crown prince heirs & PDiana & PCatherine married prince heirs & gave birth to prince heirs
They wanted her to leave London during the Blitz and she refused saying "If I were you do that, I couldn't look the East End in the face." She made her presence known wherever the city was hardest hit and the British people were strengthened by her courage. A true Queen. A War Queen. True Blood of Scotland. 🏴
A big issue during WWII was the results of bombings by the Nazis. There were times that the king of England would go and review damage. He would take the queen with him. The clothing that she wore was very important. She was dressed to look like a strong woman. Finding her personal style was very important. This may seem like a minor thing but it was essential. She would appear in public looking strong and stable. Her stability gave strength to the people of Great Britain.
She was criticised for wearing smart clothes when visiting bombed areas. Her response was to say that if the locals visited Buckingham Palace they would wear their best clothes: the least she could do was afford them the same courtesy. Now that is style!!
The best video about the war on RU-vid, hands down, is the video of Ben Shapiro debating with some uninformed young college student (probably Pro-Palestine) and stating that the Brits never bombed anyone during WW2. I thought the top of Shapiro’s head was going to blow off!! 🤯🤯🤯
She refused to leave Buckingham Palace because during The Blitz, she said she would not be able to look the people of the East End (of London) in the eyes if she did....
Actually it’s slightly different. When Buckingham Palace was bombed she said “I’m glad we’ve been bombed. It makes me feel I can look the East End in the face”
It means when we are oriented toward the east, we are, in effect, orienting ourselves toward Christ. Also is the direction in which the sun rises. It is the source of light, and inspiration-the source of life itself. It is the time of awakening, the beginning point. It is by reason of an unwritten tradition that we turn to the East to pray. The earliest Christian prayer and Christian worship is to face the east. And no wonder why Hitler is intimidated by her, because she is the woman of God and a woman of strong faith.
@@alishaanimations3058Get your history knowledge right first ans then call someone else senseless. All this family and her daughter did was colonise, loot other countries, loot every rare jewel or whatever they could find and take back to their own country for museum decoration. Brutally killed, tortured and vandalised countries and the innocent citizens of those countries. Nobody deserves being called badass for this. And thr world now knows this
She kept the Londoners morrale up during the German bombing of the city, she stopped her driver driven car at a crossing for my Grandfather and his Sister.
@@jaksenpettit4287 my guy fiction is based on reality. art is to reflect on this world, usually its tragedy. so yeah i understand what u mean but sometimes they say good stuff, like zuko in avatar
A great lady very. People today can't even hold a candle to the type of quality that the people were of that generation and that age and she among even those great people stood out and shone bright. A very formidable person and a queen empress too
She was hardly in power. Her husband was the constitutional monarch - no power but plenty of responsibility to represent the country. She refused to flee to Canada with the Princesses when Britain was as risk of being invaded because they would not abandon the country.
First she was the Duchess of York then she went on to be the Queen Consort and then she was the Queen Mother of the nation. God bless your soul Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
It's all feels right in every perspective. Perspectives are very hard to explain in order. It looks like perspectives are sometimes the key to their(people's) thinking. 1. Respected. Respected because I will find happiness in it. I won't have to fit in. I can be whatever. I have confidence in myself that I'm capable of doing anything to control. This way, things would be perfect. People would see me as a role-model. 2.liked/loved Liked because I truly enjoy and am not an ignorer of life's gifts. I find meaning in harmony and like loving people too. When I'm not a good person and hurt others, people will try to avoid me and I'm afraid of that too.
The Queen Mother was not easily intimidated. She refused to leave the British Isles when WW2 broke out & learned to bear arms (shoot) in the event she had to defend hearth & home.
@@macnchessplz I agree. She looked creepy. I saw a video where she’s got William or Harry when they were a newborn. The old cow starting letting him droop as if she was about to drop him on the floor. Diana rushed over to save him. I had the feeling the old bat was doing that to upset Diana.
I love this wonderful lady. Even though i never met her. And always held her close to my ❤️ heart. She will always be MUM to me. May you rest into eternal 🙏 peace, mum.
The Queen mother had class dignity and was extremely diligent in her Royal Duties as it showed when she was greeting people. A beautiful smile a loving wave. King George was not a strong man unfortunately it was his wife Elizabeth making all the decision to make him feel like a King and she did it perfectly 👌 The people loved her. A great sense of humour Quote (Oh! do lets have another Drink) Love it. As some said she was never drunk but never quite sober 😅😅😅 Always felt Queen Elizabeth II lacked her mothers warmth and digney and resolving peoblems like Andrew & H&M. The Queen Mother was a no nonesense person and got the job done. She was and is sadly missed.
For anyone curious, this is most likely Queen Elizabeth, "The Queen Mother". Mother of Elizabeth II, and wife of King George VI. Born in 1900, passed away in 2002.
There was a movie made a while ago that was about her. I believe it was called Elizabeth & Burtie. And another was the Kings Speech. Also the fav book about her life has a photo on the cover of her as a young child.
@@bonnieabrs1003 I remember seeing the King’s Speech a while ago and loved it. I didn’t know about the others, will have to check them out. Thank you for letting me know about them!!!
Formidable, courageous, affectionate, and deeply loved in her day. Hilter feared her ability to command such loyalty, love, and keep morale so high. Zealous Royalist Britons are deadly when threatened by invasion. The Crown always wins. When Buckingham Palace was bomb by the Nazi's, Her Majesty said: "Now we can look the East End in the eye." and went to the East she did, the next day! After nearly being blown up. Extraordinary woman.
@@Hayiii-uc8lp Queen Mother is a title for a Queen whose child is the reigner (king or queen) at that time. Queen Elizabeth I is a known as the virgin queen, so she didnt get married. By that, she can never be a Queen Mother. And this video literally said “Queen Mother”, so it is Queen Elizabeth II’s mom, which actually is also named Elizabeth
i mean, the only reason she became queen consort in the first place was because of her husband, king george vi... the king before queen elizabeth ii and also her father.
