ROYAL: Christening of Prince Charles (1948) 

Everything sounds like a Disney production in those times.

😍beautiful ...👼❤🌞

R.I.P HM QUEEN ELIZABETH II AND HRH PRINCE PHILIP DUKE OF EDINBURGH

The future King......is now the King

Prince Philip looked dashing like a Disney prince. This is like watching a movie... Incredible!! 👏

It’s funny how the queen has seen all the different patch of clothes through the years from the 30s to now

They don't know the prince has grown up and he is old now and after 73 years of this event, it's recommended for people's watching!

How lucky family they are , even the queen herself has footages of her childhood ! They are privileged, not everyone was able to capture these moments that time.

The Queen Mother was so happy to hold her 1st grandson 💙. She & Prince Charles were very close.

Literally RU-vid is the closest thing to Time traveling

So sweet! The Queen Mother is just tickled pink to hold her first grandchild

Time flies on restless pinions. The baby is now a 72 y/o grandpa to four kids (soon to be 5); his father, the dashing duke of Edinburgh, passed away almost three weeks ago at the ripe old age of 99; and his young mother, the queen, has just turned 95 three days ago.

To see Queen Mary smile is definitely a treat. She always seemed so stern.

Elizabeth was only 22 and Philip was 27. George was king at the time. I think he was 53

Baby prince is such a good sleeper. No matter what... and then session with mum is over, nanny takes it away.

1:47 “...brother of the Queen”. I was like wait the Queen doesn’t have any brothers? And then I realized it was back then when the Queen was not the Queen yet...

Charles was honestly very lucky to have both his great grandmothers at his christening

Life is such a fascinating thing to witness. Almost all people in this video are gone to where ever by now

Queen Elizabeth has always been at the center of everything even though her father was king

Princess Elizabeth and Prince Phillip have always been a beautiful couple

Its so strange to hear “ princess Elizabeth “ we r used to hear Queen Elizabeth 😂😃

Prince Charles = Wake me up when I become KING 🤴

I love seeing how delighted Queen Mary looks when she's holding, the future king.

That is one proud and strong great grandmother!

My eyes are stuck to Prince Philip. He's now my crush..see you on the other side sir, but not too soon for me lols haha

1:58 The old woman sitting right to future Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary is Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine. She is the granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Two of her younger sisters are Empress Alexandra (wife of Tsar Nicholas II) and Princess Elizabeth were killed during the Russian Revolution. She is the mother of Princess Alice of Battenberg and grandmother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Man, i wasn't even alive during George VI reign, but why do i miss him after watching this video

Prince Philip was gorgeous

Only King Charles is alive in this video

I like the Queen , she smile a lot 😍

and now 73 years later , he becomes king

Though King George VI never got the chance to live as long as his wife, at least he got the chance to see his daughter have a child.

Didn't actually realise he was called Charles of Edinburgh, does that mean that the Queen was the Duchess of Edinburgh before she became Queen?

Charles had two great grandmothers at his Christening. The first was Queen Mary. The second, The "Dowager Marchioness of Milford Haven", Prince Philip's grandmother, was actually born Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, daughter of Princess Alice, Queen Victoria's second daughter. She was a remarkable individual, and a senior member of The Royal Family in her own right. Her mother died at a relatively young age taking care of her ill children in Hesse, Germany. One of her sisters was Tsarina Alexandra, who would be killed by the Bolsheviks along with her husband, Tsar Nicholas in 1918. Princess Victoria was married to Prince Louis of Battenberg Former First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff of the United Kingdom- one of the architects of the modern British navy. She was very British, and was considered quite liberal in outlook. After her husband was removed from his office for "being too German" during the First World War (he died a broken man in 1921), she retired to Kensington Palace. She would step in as Prince Philip's grandmother and raise him after his own mother, the deaf Princess Alice, was institutionalized by a range of issues in the 1920's and 30's.

A momentous occasion! The grandparents looking as proud as the parents!

The baby is now The King.

Who would have guessed he would grow up to be so goofy

Watching this in September 2022, a week or so after the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II - 'Prince' Charles is now King Charles III

You can tell the Queen Mother is sooo in love with her new grandson Prince Charles.

Charles was such a cute baby.

Ok so once upon a time Prince Charles was a baby .

Of course the Royal’s could afford such videos/photos but, it’s also so incredible to see. I mean it’s priceless video of those passed and now elderly themselves like the Prince.

*And this baby is now His Majesty, King Charles III.*

And they are recommending me it after 73 years of his birth 🐸

These clips are strangely addictive and comforting to me. My father and King Charles III were close in age, so I feel like this is something he might have watched himself as a kid.

I think this is the first time i've seen George VI and Charles in one reel

the beginning of this film sounds like romeo and juliet

Love how Prince Philip adjusts the pillow behind his wife’s back. Personal respect and loyalty towards his new family.

I just love seeing Queen Mary in these old movies. And Princess Elizabeth with Prince Philip, what a dashing couple. Queen Elizabeth and King George look so happy.

Baby Charles was so cute, sleeping through the whole video. 🤣

Prince Philip's funeral brought me here. Wildly interesting historical document, seeing this film.

I love seeing the joy in everyone's faces. Seems as if King George had so few occasions to be really happy. And Queen Mary's big smile as she's holding baby Charles is priceless.

Wow this is so amazing ❤️ his nan couldn't stop smiling. Geez queen elizabeth is beautiful then and now and his great grandmother got a snuggle in there too. wow so awesome thank goodness everyone is sharing the royal families history so we can can witness thise happy moments.💖

The Dowager Marchioness of Milford Haven - Prince Philip’s grandmother and sister of the last Tsarina of Russia, Alexandra.

Thank you for sharing this video. Really enjoyed seeing how happy they all were. And the King! He sure was proud of his new grandson

Very proud grandparents an great grandmother 🙂

For me, the end, was so sad, when the prince was passed to the nurse, while staying in mammy’s arms where is the best place in the world 🥲

He just became King today.

The Queen...such a young and beautiful princess.♥️God bless her.

✌️💪🇺🇲🇪🇺🇮🇱🇩🇪🇬🇧🇺🇲✌️الملكه اليزابيث الخالده في النعيم المقدسة العظيمه 🕊️💞✌️💪😘🌷🕊️💞

I wonder how many people in this video are still living today

A future king in her arms.

Dying old really is a special thing (decades go by - you get to see and experience so many interesting things). I feel sorry for younger ppl who’ll never know how beautiful life was before devices were glued to hands, who’ll never understand what nostalgia means. Ppl these days are too robotic (not memorable, same-ey).

And now that baby's King Charles III ❤️❤️

I wonder if Queen Elizabeth II in this time expected that she will live long enough to witness some kind of technology like TikTok in the future.

Can our common babys get some of that baby calming drug?

Queen Mary looked so uncomfortable. She didn't know what to do with kids, because she wasn't the mothering type.

Baby Charles is the only one not trying to force a smile.😆 Prince Philip was so dashing..

Мама Елизаветы очень теплая женщина на вид, а бабушка Елизаветы - напротив, суровая скала, как мать и мачеха.

Don’t forget about Victoria Of Hesse-Darmstadt ,sister of the last Tsarina of Russia and maternal grandmother of Philip, she’s next to princess Elisabeth and Queen Mary. Her history is quite more interesting than the history of the Kings.

So cool to see a granddaughter of Queen Victoria present. Princess Victoria of Hesse later known as Marchioness of Milford Haven. 1863-1950

The Queen looked so overjoyed holding her grandson. Hard to believe we are watching different reigning monarchs at this particular time the film was originally recorded.

The King and Queen look so pleased with their Grandson

To the Queen’s right, you can see Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine. A very rare sighting. She and Irene were the only two surviving sisters out of four. Her other two sisters Alexandra, the Empress of Russia, and Elisabeth, were both brutally murdered during the revolution.

Lovely to see the Queen’s father/King George!

Prince was held by his great grandmother from his dad side.

Queen Mary saw all the monarchs since Queen Victoria to Charles wow

The queen looks sooo young here

We have a fable in Arabia saying that first son is the luck for his parents wether good or bad, like how many years they live, or how many children comes after him! Prince Charles is really good luck for his parents.

BENAR BENAR ,, ❤❤❤NEGERI DONGENG😊😊😊

berapa puluh taun yg lalu ya Alloh

To think that little baby sleeping in his Nan’s arms while she is absolutely over the moon with him is having his Coronation next year

2:13 charles waiting to be a king be like

And now charles is 72 about to become king

Now he is in his 70s

Its weird to think that queen Elizabeth was princess Elizabeth at this time

The Queen Mother is chuffed. Beautiful.

Quanto amore c'è negli occhi della regina madre.

Prince Philip is a real disney prince so dashing

Future king is now king.

I love your smile your Majesty. Rest in Love my Queen 👑❤️😭

Prince Charles was christened on Wednesday December 15th 1948. The cinema newsreel was the only way the public could see pictures of the christening. BBC Television Service on this date was on air for barely 4 hours, and had no television news program.

Sometimes I wonder why christianing requires long female dress for baby boys.

King Charles is perhaps the only most beautiful child I've ever seen! however, it has always been seen that he was the queen mother's coconut since she was a baby...I see grandfather George VI very excited.

Is ir me or does Charles resemble queen mary?

Elisabeth war wirklich ein richtiges Goldkind. Sie hatte so viel Gutes im Leben. Ihre Eltern so liebe Menschen einen guten Mann gesunde Kinder Ausstrahlung Schönheit guter Charakter und wurde sehr Alt ,gesund Alt ,wird von der ganzen Welt geliebt. Und bei König Georg gilt : Die Guten sterben früh.

From Prince Charles of Edinburgh to King Charles III

Beautiful memories

Those time the music sound creepy and how beautiful dresses or make up their all the same white and black ...

King Charles looks a lot like his great-grandmother, Queen Mary.
