@The mysterious Miss X WTF do you mean by "you people"? Do you mean the people who are happy? People who disagree with you? I don't care how many fathers you know, or what you think is proper for a four year old child. You sound a bit too unhinged by a four year old touching his mother.. maybe the "mysterious" about you is that your a judgemental biotch?
@The mysterious Miss X honestly my child did it all the time , it’s a stage all kids go through . Let him be child , go get a life or a hobby thank you.
The hologram was of the queen as she rode to the cathedral in that same gold coach on her coronation day 70 years ago. It meant something to the Brits for sure!
Just experienced a photoshoot with a three year old. Like trying to dye the whiskers of a kitten while driving a car on a highway. Impossible. Louis was perfectly four. I love that they didn’t try to overly control him and that he even was okay with acting his age.
@The mysterious Miss X good for you! Give yourself a whole pack of cookies for being so good. And a couple of pats on the back to make yourself feel better.
@The mysterious Miss X kids of to day are different from our times growing up . Let P Louis be himself .like all 4 year olds he's doing his own things . Remember these celebrations were once in a lifetime for us and the little one .he was excited and wanted to cheer and have fun . He saluted the guards which was sweet of him and those gestures he was throwing with his hands we laughed so much . Let him be .......
@The mysterious Miss X kids of this age you would 1 need to smack them.2 shout and give them the evil eye either way is not good you end up with scared children.
Some years ago i took my four year old son and my eight year old daughter to see the secret garden film at the cinema .As a mother i thought that they would love to sit at the back of the cinema in the highest seats which they did .Yet half way through tje film my four year old son got totally bored ...my daughter was enjoying the film so much that she kicked her shoes off to relax on seeing this he decided to pick her shoes up and frizbee them to the front of the cinema skimming peoples skulls along the way.Needless to say i was so livid i dare not leave until everyone else had gone.He is now 33years old so YES he is still living.KIDS are marvellous .
Jessica B When I saw the hand over the mouth that struck a familiar chord with me. I’ve seen children that age do that before when being corrected by their mother. He’s just a normal 4 year old. ☺️
Slapping covering Mom's mouth & thumbing the nose was not normal behaviour..... TOO long for a-4 year to be sitting, but don't excuse him...... Why even take him knowing that it would bore him??❓❓🙄🤦♀

@contrerasmaria8405 he's ASD, and we won't be seeing much of him now, especially since experts have admonished the parents for taking him to that air show. Absurdity. He is a cutey, and his diversity should be respected, not hidden in shame by trying to make him A-typical and cope outside of his scope. 😢😢
There is a story about the Queen many years ago going for a walk near her Scottish Palace at Balmoral (she has several, it's a queen thing) and meeting some other walkers coming the opposite way. Not realising who they were talking to these people got chatting with her and said "we heard that the Queen has a home nearby, have you ever met her". Apparently the Queen said no then pointed to her security guard and said "but he has".
I am not a royalist but I do think the Brits do it well when they celebrate their history such as the Monarchy is; it is their history and the Queen as the 'figure-head' is part of that history. I have enormous respect for the Queen; not many people could fulfill her role such as she has. Her life was given up at the time she ascended the throne.
Again…well said. Give credit where credit is due. The Queen had the role thrust upon her unexpectedly and after 70 years is still doing the job. Some respect please. 🇨🇦
@@1chish I said many, not all! My mother was a Nurse Cadet! Of course, in Great Britain, things were much worse than here. And a lot of women did help with actual military things. Here at home, it was mostly women keeping the home fires burning, it seems. I guess that can be counted. My grandmother took the money my father sent home, that she was supposed to put part in savings for him, and spent it all.

How do you not know your own child? Have you never spent time with them? Children are extremely different when it comes to attention spans and ability to sit reasonably still. Some kids aren’t ready yet to sit still and/or pay attention for a longer period at age 6, some can do it at a very young age. My eldest I took to see Frozen when she was 4, because I knew she could definitely pay attention from start to finish and stay in her chair. We probably could have done it earlier, too. My 2nd one, I knew he wouldn’t stay in his chair or pay attention that long at that age. He was 5 the first time we took him. The first time we took our youngest, she was only 1,5 years old. She had a remarkable attention span at a very young age. She sat on my lap and nursed a couple of times during the movie. Apart from that, she was riveted to the screen.

@Newlinda Newbull Slavery goes to the dawn of man. It's always been survival of the fittest. I image most people were on both sides of the drama at one time or another.
@Newlinda Newbull Oh and so to what 'slave owner' are you referring Newlinda? The UK was the first to ban slavery in 1830 It went to war against those that perpetrated it. Her predecessor George III freed 4,500 slaves while winning the war of 1812 in the new USA. All the US Founding Fathers were slave owners. And what lands have been stolen?
Crap. Anyone is capable of doing the work of royalty with all the privileges they are born with. In addition, the main problem is what they represent, which are centuries of abuse and damage to their people and even worse, to peoples outside their kingdom.

Seriously? You have on crap on a 96 year old woman and a 4 year old boy? Louis was there for hours and you pick out the few moments he acted out. I used to love your humour, but this disappoints me. Cheap shots, Colbert. Cheap shots.
WOW.........it's hard to wrap my head around how many changes she's witnessed in 96 years!!! And--wondering what the world will be like 96 years from now!! My great grandkids will find out!!
As much as you don't approve of the royals, Stephen, you might give the old girl some credit. A) She is 96 years old. I'm a little stiff, too, and I'm only 71. I bet you aren't as spry as when you were 35, either. B) She was not born to be Queen, and would not have been if her uncle hadn't abdicated and left the throne to Liz's father. And C) Would YOU want to live that lifestyle where privacy is a thing nonexistent; life in a goldfish bowl? No, I didn't think so, and she has done it well, representing her country with dignity and honor. Cut the girl a little slack, Stephen.
@@karencorbett3250 I hope so, and if I overreacted, I apologize. Unfortunately, too many Americans, including my mother, are too eager to sincerely denigrate the royals. People should keep in mind that England is a CONSTITUTIONAL monarchy, and the British people generally love their Royals.
Actually she was born to be Queen. Edward VIII never had children. He also outlived his brother. So even if he never abdicated, Elizabeth still would have been Queen. It's just her reign would have started in 1972, not 1952.
Yes Liz! 👑🇬🇧 we certainly salute you!!! Ps. Lovely to see normal mom-child behavior from the Royal Box - many of us can relate - kids! Gotta love ‘‘em for keeping it real.
I legit missed Jon batiste, he is the actual human representative of joy . Louis was absolutely amazing too :) You have some very talented and passionate musicians
As the lucky grandmother of two grandsons 5 and 8 who are the light of my life….I found the Prince just adorable, charming and funny. I can easily see one or both of my grandsons doing this. He was just as cute as could be. As the a retired elementary school teacher who had daughters and no brothers …I so much enjoyed the the funny cute smart and lovable boys in my classes over the years. One of my regrets is not having a son. All three of the royal children are a joy to watch
@The mysterious Miss X what is wrong with you? For once a teacher doesn't complain about the boys at school as it so often happens yet you want to burry that under a hateful comment. And what's with the stupid comparison of 4 year olds behaviour to teenagers? If teenagers do act that way, then a lot went wrong along them growing up but the problem was NOT that they behaved like that as 4 year olds. I would rather be concerned when kids would not act a certain way as 4 year olds. Acting like angels all the time more than often means they are suppressed at home with fear and violence. As for the part that you think is sexist, well it is quite known that boys and girls develop in different ways. I was an exemplary female student in elementary school yet I loved my chaotic boys in class. Many of them were just as smart as I was, but got worse grades because of their behaviour. Thought already back then that it was not fair. Got the same problems with my son now. School is still mostly designed in the old way (to produce good obedient, working people) and all experts on childrens development will tell you how that is wrong and kills the best in people. Also sitting as a child for so long is just wrong. My extroverted son is too talkative and lively for school, but they also don't like my introverted daughter being not talkative and shy, you just cannot do it right and their grades suffer not because of intellect but judgment of a behaviour that does not fit the narrow window of how a child should behave according to an antiquated school system. Gosh even my sons new class teacher after the switch to higher school admitted that he will once do really well in business after school with his skills and personality. But because of a failed system she still needs to grade him worse and he basically needs to survive another 5 years of school.
I love you Stephen, but I respect the Queen's 7 decades of service to her country who, although not perfect, has done her best. Doesn't strike me as funny to make fun of a 96 year old lady. Prince Louis was pretty funny, though, although the hand nose thing must have been exasperating to his mother knowing he was being scrutinized.
I thought the Queen's skit with Paddington Bear, especially his marmalade sandwich in his hat, hers in her purse was hysterical. I laughed though the whole thing. I thought the Jubilee was amazing, we could use a celebration in this country like that, that doesn't get a shot or killed. Prince Louis had definitely had enough, lol.
Pamela, you're right. We do need a national, historical celebration event too. I guess July 4th is supposed to be it. If so, it's just not meeting the goal. We need something else, something better, someting more exciting! Great All American minds, please come up with something, after all we've endured, we need to celebrate, to laugh...

I have mad respect for The Queen. It takes toughness to represent a society for 70 years! But, I'm still unclear about what "actual work" she really did/does.
@@oldschooloc2110 She used to make several hundred public appearances every year, kinda like having to go to work 5 days a week.

Would you need to ask what they do too?
@@oldschooloc2110 If you can call being on there every day, standing for hours during visits to all kinds of celebrations, having talks with most of the leaders of the world , having to see the a prime Minister once a week, travelling the Commonwealth constantly, being the focus of attention wherever you go and still having a life, children, a husband but honouring her duty as the figurehead of a Democratic Monarchy with grace, humour and respect. How does she compare to any other world leader? I would say, favourably.
Forget mere waving hands: Queen Liz's signature dance was a foxtrot with Ghana's first President, at the Ghana independence celebrations: it was dancing-Queen diplomacy (anti-soviet moves on the dance floor). [Mixed-race dancing was probably still illegal in (the southern states and the military of ) the USA at the time but the Brits and Ghana had more freedom than Americans, and the Brits happily turn up to celebrations when relinquishing their power. They enjoy paying respect to the new guy and wish them well (so, Brit royalty are more democracy-supportive than D.Trump on Jan 6? Go figure.)]

I think it's less to do with being sensible and more to do with being expected to choose understated clothing. Images of the royals are supposed to look sort of timeless, without dated trends distracting from the subject. Personally, I think it's much nicer when a child dresses in whatever (weather appropriate, of course) clothing makes them happy and comfortable.
"Give me back my families land!" I know some Navajo, Hawaiians and Mexicans who say the same the same thing. Attack a 96 yo who served in the military for being born. Smooth.
I expected better of Stephen as I thought he was incredibly rude and disrespectful toward the Queen. She’s 96 and has given 70 years of her life in service to her country. I never thought I’d say that Stephen of all people came off as an ‘ugly American’ with his boorish behaviour and cheap jokes!
Stephen is always unpleasant and boorish and takes cheap shots at the Queen…I enjoy the clips of his shows except when he becomes gratuitously bitter about the Queen
Given recent history, I am surprised that Stephen cannot see the advantages to a state having an apolitical head of state rather than highly political president

With Prince Louis being such a "normal" 4 year old, it shows he is being raised lovingly and not as a robot. How many 4 year olds can sit still for 3 hours??? Catherine is a wonderful mother. The whole Jubilee celebration was wonderful. We love our Queen and wish her well.

I can’t lie, I do love the Queen and Royal history in general particularly English/British Royal history. The celebrations were very nice and enjoyable to see
However I do too, but I also like Russian, French, and Spanish history too- they had some interesting Royal families- interrelated with the British- Actually the Russian Royal family was a big international big deal in its day and way richer than the British Royals- the Tsar was the richest man on earth then.
@@marel6279 I think the Russian Tsars did have more of tendency to the Extremes than the British Monarchy has had. England never had an Ivan the Terrible.
Normally a very big fan of Colbert, but I think several of those jokes at the Queens expense were not really warranted. I mean it’s a historic celebration of 70 constant years of service from an amazing lady.
Hardly a surprise from someone who states in interviews that he “Hates the English” and that they are “all bastards” ! And yes Stephen we got that was two fingers you were giving her at the end,,so classy !
Stephen Colbert's segment on the Queen's 70th Jubelee celebration was a very distasteful mockery. As a Canadian fan of Stephen and a long time viewer of his shows, previous and this one, I became very upset as he was jabbing her with asinine remarks. She is a dignified and astute lady who has spent her whole life serving her country and heading the 52 nation Commonwealth. No other monarch in Great Britain's history OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD has been around that long time NOTE TO STEPHEN You didn't have to speak about her celebration. As the saying goes.. IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING NICE DON'T SAY ANYTHING.
Also Canadian.... You're literally the minority of people that even care about the monarch, with even plenty of British people not caring so much about her role, more than her existence as a person... How can you take pride in a country that literally stripped the queen of ALL her power, to the point where she's LITERALLY just a mascot... in fact, she can just be removed from the room if she ever disobeys the house of commons or the prime minister... she has NO power.
Thank you. I was about to write the same sentiment. I found this skit rude and disrespectful to a monarch who has dedicated her life to service of the Commonwealth. I to am a proud Canadian. I wish Her Majesty good health. We should all aspire to her grace and dignity.
Totally Agreed! Many of us long-time Colbert fans are actually surprised at the cheap comments and lack of capability to make good jokes and poke some fun without being a cretin. You should take some notes from James Corden.
People lose their husbands every day. Lots of those people have worked much harder than Elizabeth all their lives, too. Usually they don't get to do whatever they like forever after.
@wendyReis @CathyB @SamCroft Queen Elizabeth II became Queen the moment her father died on February 6 1952. Her coronation took place on June 2, 1953, following a time of mourning of the King and the commonwealth preparations for her coronation. Sovereign birthdays are always celebrated the first weekend in June regardless of when they are born. It coincides with a country holiday and the Trooping the Colour. 🇨🇦 For Americans, think President’s Day.
There is no such holiday as Presidents day. The holiday is Washington's Birthday, it was never meant to celebrate presidents. Lincoln's birthday is only a couple days away so corporations decided to combine the birthdays to sell more mattresses. People got confused and thought presidents day was an actual holiday.
@@elaexplorer "Presidents' Day, or Washington's Birthday at the federal governmental level, is a holiday in the United States celebrated on the third Monday of February to honor all persons who served in the office of president of the United States and refers also to the federal holiday specifically honoring George Washington, who led the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolutionary War, presided at the Constitutional Convention of 1787, and was the first president of the United States." And I realize not all States observe the Day. I also realize it's an opportunity for corporations to capitalize on the day. It's the same in the UK and here in Canada with some of our "holidays."

I’m Irish in Ireland and Irish people have awful memories of our history, she’s an old lady and I respect her but they don’t teach true history in British schools. Even now the Brits are trying to screw us over. Their wealth and gold crowns and palaces are based on generations of suffering, all around the world.
@@hmmcinerney I’m from the Canadian arm of the commonwealth and I think more and more countries will be looking to separate from the throne in the near future. It’s an archaic system and newer generations will demand change. Right now every single person in the world age 70 or younger has only known her as the Queen of England. It’s just always how it’s been and none of us really gave it much thought. Times have changed and I do believe that once there is a change in power people will have the entire system paraded in front of their eyes.
That kid was hilarious- but he's four and probably was at all these long events during that whole weekend and tired of them, plus, 4yr. olds still have to take their naps. My nephew when he was that age didn't like to sit still. One day after visiting his grandpa in the nursing home, it was a very hot day too & he missed his nap he was in a bad mood and acted up. Except he yelled and at one point in the restaurant pulled my sister's (his Mom) hair. She took him to the bathroom and had a talk with him (no, don't spank, he was exhausted and was 3 1/2. Just needed a time out). When they came out, he was quieter, played with his crayons at the table, and ate his chicken fingers. Later he was excited to see a fire truck (he was into fire trucks & school buses back then). So children of that age get tired and misbehave, esp. if, at something long where they are expected to sit still, the other two older children (and George used to act up when he was younger) were well behaved, Charlotte so lady like and sweet. Just gently correct the child and don't make a big deal over it. "Royal" children are still human beings (just have more privilege & money) and act just like other children and get tired, upset, bored etc.
That’s so funny. I’m remembering my 4 year old. We were at nice restaurant. He was tired, hungry, and acting out. I lifted him and carried him away to have a bathroom talk. As we were going, he cried out, “Not the bathroom, Mama! PLEEEEASE!! Not the bathroom!” He didn’t like my lectures and I can only imagine what the other diners were thinking. He came back to table as meal was being served and was a good little guy the rest of the night.
I remember Grandma sending me with my niece to the bathroom because she was acting up in the restaurant. Apparently Aunty was sterner than Grandma. Not scarier just sterner.
Cheap low blows attacking the Queen for living a long and full life which has been dedicated to serving her people. I normally find Stephen hilarious but this is just ageism pure and simple.
I'm glad others are finding the jokes in poor taste. I was wondering why he was being so grouchy. If he doesn't like her, he could have just skipped covering the Jubilee
So this wasn't your cup of tea. Realize that in comedy there are No sacred cows or Royalty. His shtick has not lessened my respect for her lifelong performance of her job as Queen or Prince Charles endeavor to make worthwhile contributions.
The Queen has met more u.s presidents than just about anybody in history and still manages to put them all in their place when needs must but most have respect for her.Trump tried to out do her and came off looking like a silly little boy and thats what a respected lady she is as unlike trump she put duty to her country first and has done so for 70 years and thats why she was celebrated as she really will be missed when she enters the great Palace in the sky.
Trump was the president of the US. The queen is literally a remnant of the most brutal colonizers to ever exist. Why exactly does everyone venerate her? Her family has caused untold suffering to millions of people in multiple continents
And even spelled 'humour' correctly! Yay, Charles ans Camilla, remember Liz said she would reign her life 'long or short'. Thank goodness it’s long!!❤️🇨🇦❤️
It was nice to see that people in England came together to celebrate the Queen. It was a beautiful celebration! I wish US could have as lovely weekend as it was for England.

I'm British enough to laugh at all our foibles (so laugh quite a lot) but we need to be a little careful it's not overdone on the Royal Family. Easy to target them, they can't fight back. People laughed at Prince Charles 40 years ago when he was talking about climate change and danger to the environment by over developing some areas. Now everyone's on that bandwagon and still want to carp about him. Yes he's got a really funny posh accent, but don't deride someone who's worked tirelessly on projects for young kids and more.

He cares greatly about the farming community and brings attention to the huge issues they face battling industrial style farming. What exactly do you find funny about him?.Im interested to know
Poor Kate, your four-year-old is acting up and what can you do about it. You’re on the Buckingham palace balcony with the whole world watching. Imagine if she’d given him a slap and lost her cool. I really think she handled it well. She smiled and kept her composure. I think I would’ve lost mine. I think she’s a fabulous mum. I personally found it funny!
Mr. Colbert, please show some respect. Your jokes on the Queen and Louis a four year old boy was very distasteful. You are an adult, you should know better.
It was Colbert doing what he always does: Ferociously grabbing the wrong end of the stick. He could have struck a clever balance between humour and respect but went for the easy cheap shots to play to his dumb audience. Not ONE round of applause for Her Majesty's 70 years of service. Welcome to 21st Century America
That's a good one, Mr. Colbert. Your Queen's joke was the best of all because it made me 🤣. May her Majesty live longer so that she can sustain that practical joke on Prince Charles. 😂😂😂
The Jubilee was GREAT! Our Queen has given 70 years of service to the U.K. & Commonwealth & that’s deserving of respect. 100,000 people sang to her on that balcony & it was very moving…but..you chose to take cheap shots at a courageous old lady & a 4 year old boy….very low!
A queen is not above jokes, and Stephen didn't take any cheap shots at the boy. He just pointed out his behavior as that of a normal kid. You Brits are pretty tight-assed about comedy. There was a 30 year ban on video footage from Parliament being used in satirical shows. A rule which John Oliver rightly called "Fucking stupid".
Totally agreed! I am all about making jokes, but the line was crossed, The Queen is not only the head of an Institution but also a 96yo woman. She deserved more respect than what was shown. I'm not even British, I would still be upset if anyone lacked the competence to actually make a couple of jokes without resourcing to mocking a 96 yo woman and a 4 yo kid. Truly pitiful.
How could we not love "your" queen who attributed and supported the brutal history of British invasion, colonization and enslavement of numerous peoples in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.
@@candielandssweetadventures Time traveller is she? She didn’t “attribute” or “support” any such thing that’s just cheap rhetoric & the rest of your statement is intellectually lazy. Invasion, colonisation & enslavement are part of almost every nation’s heritage. Take a close look at the history of Benin if you want to know about that….oh & that was brutal, various Indian States, China vs Mongols, The Ottoman Empire, The Vikings….to name but a few. Whilst the past can inform the present….just how long do you hold onto that degree of victimhood? Is there a point at which doing that disempowers you? My ancestors probably were slaves at some point but I AM NOT & l am very happy to join with the rest of my country in celebrating the reign of OUR Queen.
@@STOICEFX Dude I wasn't saying Americans aren't racist to native Americans, I'm saying the freaking BRITISH have no right to criticize them for it lol I learnt it from watching you Dad
@@rarjun7239 I wasn't replying to you dingus 😂 😂 google whataboutism lol you actually said 'what about' 😂 anyway- calling out the British for what they did to the Irish does not negate support for Native American land rights. We should support all indigenous people in deconstructing colonialism.
The Queen had visited Canada so often she'd probably tell stories of Trudeau of when he was a little boy, it's a state secret. Happy Jubilee Your Majesty Queen Elisabeth.
You know, Her Majesty does have a wicked sense of humour. She made a few rather scathing remarks, on camera, about your last "president" drumpfel-thin-skin (and the way things are going at the moment, possibly the last but one president of the entire history of your country). Of the countless differences between him and her (the only thing they have remotely in common are bodily functions, and I'm not sure how close to human his are), she not only understands the whole concept of duty, she lives it. Again unlike him, she can also spell it. As for serving one's country, as a princess she did it (unlike #IQ45) during WWII, as a mechanic and truck driver, driving at night during blackout, so no lights in/on the truck or the street. Not everyone was actually capable of it. And yes, she went through basic and lived in barracks. She didn't have any bone spurs (we wouldn't have found out if she did, she'd not have used that as an excuse). She knows how she's got to behave, particularly in public, and that's down to protocols initially written by the government after the Restoration and added to since. She has no say in the matter, even if she absolutely disagrees with what she's supposed to say or do. IIRC she's not allowed to vote, but based on things I've heard, she and the majority of her family would/do vote Green, Liberal Democrat (centrist, essentially) and Labour (socialist) but not Tory. She detested Thatcher so much that she would do scathing immitations of her! So if she seems aloof, or set in her ways (she is 96), that's pretty much the government's fault. At home, she's apparently quite the comedian and impersonator. Pity she can't let loose in public just the once. I'm saying all this, not as a flag-waving monarchist (far from it), but as someone who respects her head of state, who technically could have "retired" years ago, but won't because she made a vow (in her eyes, before God. She's very devout) to serve her country until death. I think she also wants Charles to be able to speak politically (pro-climate activism) for as long as he's allowed to. She and Sir David Attenborough are friends and share the same passion for the survival of the planet. Is she perfect? Absolutely not. Are you? Didn't think so. Me neither. And just a thought, as none of you would want to be - or should be - constantly badgered because of things your ancestors did (and for some of you, names, times & places as well as crimes are known. Unfortunately your GQP doesn't want anything taught about certain crimes against humanity such as slavery. Our schools _do_ teach us the bad as well as the good of our past), is it fair to have a go at her for things done by politicians but in her name or the names of her ancestors? Oh yes, one last thing, she voluntarily pays income tax.
Your Prime Minister is Boris Johnson, so I think you should sit down and worry about your own problems my guy. xD You have just as much to worry about on your end as we do here.
Slapping covering Mom's mouth & thumbing the nose was not normal behaviour....🙄🤦♀ TOO long for a-4 year to be sitting, but don't excuse him...... Why even take him knowing that it would bore him??❓🤷♀
Jon Batiste looks simply smashing in his lilac suit with a beautiful matching shirt. His hair also makes him look really handsome and the colouring, fabulous. Ps Steven Colbert the Queen danced the waltz in her youth, one memorable occasion with the former President of Ghana, Nkrumah.
