King Charles Enjoys Tea and Cakes with WW2 RAF Veterans 

I so agree. You could see the effort and toll that it took on the gentleman, but he was determined to show his respect for his King. I wish that all of our future generations would be as respectful to each other.

Yes, and he refused to sit until the Sovereign did so. Quite a class act!

Although he didn't insist the poor fellow sit down.

I love that our Forces swear allegiance to the Monarch and not the Government !

@@jillosler9353 In the US, the forces swear allegiance to uphold the Constitution, not the "government" or the flag, contrary to Facebook posts. A key distinction that is just like the UK.

I'm willing to do anything to work for the Royal Family! I know that they are the most objective and wise of all people! And I have not seen anyone more objective, more logical and wiser than myself! There is no place for me anywhere, only among the most reasonable! I see how gramatically the power of the Royal Family over the whole world is hidden! At the age of 22, for 4 years I became a close and round-the-clock friend, recruiter, assistant, adviser, security guard, accompanying the son of the most powerful man in the Kirov region (4-time State Duma deputy and local Berezovsky). I was born in a fairly ordinary non-Jewish family, had no higher education and work experience, I was just born special, and a philosopher, super thoughtful and independent in decision-making, constantly asked deeper questions than everyone, developed objectivity, logic.

Imagine Biden trying to preform this task🤮

Fartwarming - RF is nonessential business

They must all be somewhere around one hundred. My father was a Rifle Brigade officer during the war, and he wasn't quite old enough to join in 1939, but did in 1941. He would have turned one hundred earlier this year.

@@TheGoldielover Definitely, they are all in their 90s. The actual Battle of Britain took place from July to October 1940, 83 years ago. I am sure some lied about their age as they did in WWI. Of course, all of these RAF veterans are probably from the entire WWII era. The war ended 78 years ago, which makes it ancient history for young people today.

@@Ker-mk3bf Why

Not my King.

@@darleneo343 Who is your King then?

Very well said!

Amen and God bless all of you💖💜🌹

Well said indeed. And thoughts to all those who didn't make it and we never got to meet.

@@skullbob1591 You were fortunate to obtain employment from the Kirov region big wig with no work experience.

I'd like to do that too. Imagine the stories they could tell, the wisdom they could share.

Charles had convenient Royal Navy service. Every time he got too involved with some cutie, the Queen and her mother ordered him out to sea duty for a period of time until it blew over.

Vets and dentist, rip off merchants.

Don't forget WW1 ...

George V would have been King when they were born, more than likely. So they have seen George V Edward VIII George VI Queen Elizabeth and King Charles, with William and George still to come. Can you imagine!!

❤

And they shared time in uniform for King and Country during WWII with one auto mechanic named 2nd Subaltern Elizabeth Windsor, later Commander Elizabeth Windsor, later Her Majesty The Queen in 1953. God Bless Them

amazing if they did indeed fight under George IV who lived 200 years ago

@@glen7318 The zombie soldiers

... pumpkins.

Well said. Heroes every one of them.

but a poor democrat?

He won't

No, Prince William, would have been out of place, there too, young ,& modern no disrespect, but he belongs with the next modern, generation, who will takeover, from, these, older veterans, Amen!

@@patriciadavis2506 Absolute nonsense, if you look at it like that, the King is equally out of place, he has no idea what it would have been like flying in a Lancaster Bomber over Germany at night between 1943-45 and being shot at by radar guided 88mm flak guns. The only persons who would have been suitable at a gathering of this nature were the late Queen and Prince Philip who both served in WW2 and had a common understanding and association with these veterans and the trials and tribulations they all went through. Charles doesn't, he wasn't born until 1948 and I doubt he was aware of the conflict until the mid to late 1950's, though he would have later learnt a lot about it from his grandmother and his parents over the years, the same applies to Prince William. The only Royals alive today who would be able to understand and emphasise with these veterans would be the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra of Kent, who lived through WW2. It doesn't matter how old or young the King and William are, they're both equally capable of talking to these veterans as they both served in the RAF and it's the RAF that binds them together, not age!

of course they are prepared when they go somewhere

The King has always been the hardest working Royal by engagements, just the media wouldn't give him that credit. If you take a look at the engagement counts over the last decade, he was the only one to exceed 500 engagements in a year and usually him and Anne are within a few engagements of each other. This doesn't account for all the additional work he does for the charities and initiatives he personally founded.

For eating cake😂

@@Guitar-gv I didn’t see him take a bite, but glad he met with his mother’s contemporaries and chatted with them. Well done!

Hmm... So, by your own standards, "enjoying tea and cakes" is "working very hard". I see! You must have a really, really, really easy job! And good for you , I suppose.

@@frontenac5083 coin, shut up

​ @frontenac5083 You're life must be terrible. All gloom and doom on here. You write comments like it's your job that you're forced to do. You wait in the wings just itching to attack. It's sad really.

I'm sure they've been forced to watch that clip a 1000 times over the years.

Hi

Whoa. That reference brought tears to my eyes! So true! Thank you! ❤

Yes, but he just signed it as "Charles" not "Charles R".

And he did it without a fuss as the pen didn’t leak😅 Sausage Fingers was a very happy man😄

@@ClaireM2345 having health issues is not a laughing matter.

@@Tractionengine_556 They've been pushing the we don't do autographs for fear of forgery angle so I was surprised, R or not.
