Rose's Coming-Out Ceremony at Buckingham Palace | Downton Abbey 

For those not aware “a coming out.” Was when a lady of noble birth like Rose reaches a certain age and is presented to the Royal Family and everyone at court and where suitable matches to find a suitable husband of title are arranged. Lady Sybil had hers but it was never shown.

By far one of my favorite scenes! I love how Cora and Robert took care of Rose like true parents, and how Violet treated Rose like one her granddaughters.

I wish my coming out had involved an outfit that fabulous and a party afterwards, instead of sweatpants and an awkward conversation with my mum

Robert is so cute in this part. This is so nervous and excited, like a proud dad.I´m glad Rose had people who cared for her.

Sometimes, the money spent on this show was crazy, but unlike most modern movies, every penny is on the screen. Such magnificence.

The King throwing shade at the prince and his exploits was priceless lol

The surprised look on Rose's face when the king addresses her is priceless. Cora is proud as she responds with grace and composure.

Lord Grantham: “ I feel rather guilty about cousin Isobel not being here “ Dowager: “ why? She brought her book with her to read “ 😂😂

Rose looked amazing in her dress, she really grew up at Downton.

Cora’s mother is so savvy about fortune hunters. . I simply adore her character! ❤️

I just love how Cora's mother flippantly refers to her "cottage" in Newport. If you've ever spent time in Newport and Europe, those "summer cottages" on Bellvue's mansion row are essentially the American equivalent to the grand castles of Europe 😂😂😂

The court announcer is Alastair Bruce, a historical advisor for the show.

Lol, Harolds awkward encounter with The Prince is priceless !

They also shot scenes of Buckingham Palace in Lancaster House just like the Crown I feel like it’s in the same universe

The dress is beyond gorgeous! Nostalgically want this fashion trend to come back.

@6:47 This is one of my favorite scenes from the entire series. Uncle Harold completely breaks all Palace protocol and introduces himself to HRH Edward the Prince of Wales as though they were at a salesmen's meet and greet convention dinner.

At this rate the entire series will be on RU-vid by the end of 2020.

Anyone else notice the prince’s expression goes from smiling at Rose’s compliment to flatlining at his father’s backhanded one? 😂😂

Cora´s mom talking about having a cottage in Newport is soooo gilded age!!!!

Alistair Bruce (who plays the role of the man announcing each debutant) is a well known historian - he was instrumental in insuring that details in the Downtown Abbey series were all correct. He did the commentary for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and for the coronation of King Charles III.

I quite like how much class and dignity this outfit involves and yet how much modernity and 1920s spirit the whole look represents. Very much like a reflection of where Rose comes from and where her own path is leading as a woman of those socioculturally revolutionary days.

“The “coming out” of a young woman represented a change in her status from child to adult and her “introduction” to society. This became formalized in English aristocratic society in the first half of the nineteenth century through the Victorian period. Up to the point of their coming of age of seventeen or eighteen, girls did not have much of a role, other than to attend to their schooling, as social functions and contacts were fairly limited. A young lady’s introduction to society not only marked her transition to adulthood, but also her availability for marriage. Marriages were no longer being arranged by this time, so the formalization of the event helped insure that she would meet young men who were deemed suitable by her parents. For those in “society” with contacts to the royal family, the actual coming out was the introduction of the debutante to the king or queen. This usually occurred in June when the debutante would go to the royal palace at an appointed time. This was a big event with the debutante dressed in a long gown with a trailing court train wearing a tiara headdress. Indeed, she would practice getting in and out of a coach before the appointed day so that she could move gracefully when she arrived at the palace. The event itself was quite short, but was formal and conducted with a certain amount of “pomp and ceremony”. Once introduced, the debutante emerged as an adult and it marked the beginning of her first social season, although if she did not get married or engaged, the coming out was often repeated.” www.victoriaspast.com/Coming%20Out/Debutante.htm

Professor Mcgonagall is savage as usual xD

By today’s standards, Coming Out would have a whole different meaning.

The musical score adds to every scene immensely - well played

Paul Giamatti has done some fantastic work over the years.

I love Lily James! She is so talented ❤️

So grand and regal. One of my favorite scenes during the entire series.

Don't worry Harold, he won't reign for very long, the Duke of York is a safer bet.

I love the little flirtings looks and conversations between Cora and Robert ❤

Paul Giamatti was a great casting decision for the show!

I think they did a great job at casting the actors for King George and Queen Mary

Godddd the costuming in this show was IMPECABLE, it's like being sent through a time machine

I loved this! It was done so beautifully! And Lady Rose was such a great addition to the Crawley household. So beautiful and full of energy and joy. The absolute best part was the Prince of Wales crashing her party and dancing the first dance with Rose! ❤

The brother of Cora looks like the mayor from lazy town

Cora is marvellous here😍😍😍

The exchange between Harold and the Prince still tickles me so much. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Robert; I feel rather guilty at leaving Isobel behind Violet; Why? She bought a book with her that should keep her occupied Robert; What sort of book? Violet; I can only tell you that on the train it was more interesting than me Violet you Savage old lady, I wanna be like you when I grow up 😂😂😂😂

And years later in "The Crown" the Queen and Princess Anne would receive Prince Philip's Mother at the foot of the stairs.

I loved Shirley McClain and Paul Giamatti in this!

They seem to go to great lengths to achieve historical accuracy in this show but it struck me as odd that there would be groups of people in the throne/presentation room standing around chatting some with their back to the King and Queen whilst they were holding audience.

3:35 The last time John Adams was at an English royal court, it was an awkward experience. :p

I loved Harold and Madeline together so much 😭😭

Love this! It seems so real and with the camera work I feel as if I am there. Brilliant.

They made poor Mary of Teck look ancient here. She wouldn't have been that old

That's King George V and Queen Mary, right? So the Prince of Wales would have been the future (and notorious) King Edward VIII.

One of the most interesting things about this was that she was wearing a bustle. Never realized bustles were still around at all in any context (except maybe theatrical performances) in the 1920s.

Why do I have flashbacks to a Simpsons episode? Posh woman: that is my daughter the debutant, she came out last year. Show a rather unattactive woman Mr Burns' son: whoa! well put her back in, she's not done yet.

Lady rose's dress is fabulous. so pretty.

Whatever would I do without Downton Abbey. I need my DT Abbey fix.

John Adams is looking good for nearly 200 at this point!

Paul Giamatti is fantastic in this role!

I would have liked to know more about the relationship between Harold and Madeline. They just touched on it in this episode but it would have been really interesting, considering he didn't think she was like all the others who were just after his money. Paul Giamatti is a great actor!

I really love this episode of Downton Abbey...when Rose 🌹 meets the king and Queen of England ...

Cora's brother at the end was great

Ah. The Edwardian Era. Only nostalgic if you were living the rich life like these folks. For everyday people, it was hard work and hard times.

I was glad in Season 1 that they mentioned Sybil going to the Season, but either they didn't have the budget or popularity to present it. So in Season it was presented. Whoo

One of my favorite Downton!

I dont care what anyone says, it looks fun and excitting

I remember reading (Edward VIII's autobiography?) that these functions became more and more ridiculous during George V's reign, as the greater the length of the debutante's train became a fashion statement, and they got longer and longer to the point they were tripping over each other. They would arrive with the train draped over their arm, and then at the door to the throne room drop it and the chamberlains would then spread it out behind them before they walked in. Too bad they didn't show that.

My god their costumes!!! 😍😍😍

It's so cute the way Rose's shoes peak out from under her gown at 2:43.

Missed Rose in the movie :(

I watch so many clips I think I just need to rewatch the whole series at this point.

This is one of my favourite scenes in the entire series! ✨Joy✨

The Queen put an end to this ridiculous tradition, which was to allow daughters of the upper class to find husbands.

I think Rose's presentation was a success!

Poor Violet, she's my favourite character! I wish she could have presented Lady Rose to the King and Queen.

The duchess of Marlborough mother’s house in Newport, Alva Vanderbilt’s Marble House.

How I wish we still had Coming Out/ Coming of Age events! Such an exciting celebration to enter into adulthood.

Madeline is so freaking gorgeous!

It is so nice they used their historian -immediately recognizable by his voice.

One funny thing I just realized is all the different costumes worn by the domestics and aristocrats in that scene. You have beefeaters from the 17th century, those wig wearing "butlers" from the 18th century, the guards and announcer are dressed in 19th century style, the noble men are also in the 19th century while the ladies are in the 20th century... If Martha Levinson really existed, I believe she would have mused about the English not "letting off of tradition's hand."

This girl is pure happiness

Jokes apart this was my one of the most favourite episode

I love Paul Giamatti lol

Oh rose I absolutely love her. She reminds me of myself a little bit. Lilly James has come so far since DA and I’m proud of her.

It is very interesting to research some of the details that come out regarding the Prince and Mrs. Dudley-Ward's relationship. If you also get the chance, attend the exhibit when if comes to your city, beautiful and was fun to compare facts with other people attending the exhibit.

I wonder if the tradition of the Coming-Out Ceremony started out as a way for the king to get first dibs on who could marry the heir to the throne. And if the king was a widower; who *he himself* could marry. If so, I bet in Henry VIII's time the Coming-Out Ceremony was equivalent to selecting a sacrificial virgin.

I love the cameo by Alistair Bruce! 😁

Poppy Drayton is so lovely.

Went on a Tour to Buck Palace 5 years ago I was in awe like Rose was

@ 4:07 Shirley MacLaine, my *Hero*! She is great, a great Actress, in whatever she does... LPM 💙☮️🎵

Howard moseying up to the Prince of Wales like that (“improper” address, crumbs on his coat, etc) reminds me of a certain clergyman in “Pride and Prejudice” approaching Mr. Darcy 🤣

6:26 her crown is amazingly plastic. diamonds are gone at the back side. i remember harry potter for this though...

Ladies of eighteen years of age getting a chance to present for the coming out session to show off.

Paul Giamatti is hilarious 😂

2:22 I never noticed before that the herald making the announcements is Alistair Bruce.

Man I love those outfits, fancy and formal is hardly seen anymore

*...and a few years later Their Royal Highnesses visited Downton and nearly got assassinated*

Always makes me laugh at the end!

Is the one presenting Alastair Bruce? It's so weird hearing his voice after watching the documentary

season #1 is really the only one necessary. It's the best of them.

I’m still annoyed they didn’t re-hire the same actors for George and Mary, these two are way more suitable than who was chosen for the film

Lady Grantham(the younger) looked stunning in that tiara and dress, the reception afterwards was about as entertaining as a trip to the dentist tho

I really was confused with the coming out title because for sure that wouldn't be allowed back then.

Lancaster House. Goodness that staircase. All too familiar. 😊😊 And 3:19 to the left in the naval uniform. Hello there Bertie... 😊

Never realized we had seen Cora's brother in any of the 6-7 seasons of the show. unimpressive, unlike his (their) formidable mother.

I think this is my favorite part of the entirety of the series🙂

Does anyone know the name of this theme? It’s a variation of the show’s main theme I can’t find it on Apple Music 😭
