The Eightsome Reel, Ghillies ball at Balmoral 

ABSOLUELY. This shows how intelligent she is. I know Edda Moser, the famous soprano very well, and she says always: Power needs composure. I was think of this remark when I saw this remarkable documentary Elizabeth R from 1991!

She eats babies RIP Elizabeth R!

Absolutely lady of respect . Love her 💕

But - but - _who_ is speaking, please??? Who is the voice-over? Thank you ...

@@hortenseweinblatt1508 The Woman is Her Majesty herself.

I've met several people who met the QM or were in service with the RF. Those who met the QM all said that she was a very nice woman and the servants loved her. She seems to have had great charm although she was tough as old boots. Apparently when at Balmoral she'd get herself down to the village, chat to people over the garden hedge and invite herself in for a cup of tea :)

Oh that old lush was up for anything, and i do mean anything.. 🤣

Yes, I was thinking the same thing….quite impressive!!👍

I'd bet she enjoyed a good party too! I really don't know what to think of the QM as I never met her, but people who did know her have said that the QM was a lovely kind woman - if she liked you, but Heaven help you if she'd decided that she didn't like you!

The Queen Mother was joyful 🎉

shes the best 😍

Agree.

@@mynthamara5994 Doesn't she though.

Hello Mary, How are you doing?

She loves visiting Scotland

Princess Ann never changes her hair style… it’s so outdated.

@@jsstar76 Neither has the queen

@@jsstar76 Princess Ann wears what she likes and what suits her. It is her own style. She does not dabble in fashion trends.

Yes, she does. I noticed that--still regal looking!

Stunning voice. A true born Queen.

Take up Scottish Country Dancing and you will do this more often than you think. It's fabulous.

@@Onbehaard it's a lot different now though - it's kind of more like a cross between pride and prejudice dancing and rugby. I haven't been able to go since covid but it's a LOT faster now - not sedate at all. Guys doing push ups in the middle of the circles and flinging you around. Don't need alcohol you get dizzy enough from being spun violently every 2 seconds, and if you come away with bruises you know it's been a good night.

@Apolo Adonis The music and the dance are Scottish. This ball is in Scotland, not Germany.

@Apolo Adonis No. German relates to Germany. Scottish relates to Scotland.

Queen Elizabeth has always been pretty. God Bless Her. A Superb Monarch. 🇬🇧

@@apolinary29 think she si unique

She is and Princess Margaret was very beautiful women. The Queen never tried to emphasize her beauty or skate through her younger life with her looks. She's a very respectable, admirable woman.

Compared to other Royals, especially Brunei, HM Queen Elizabeth is the most humble Royal, if you look closer at her dress, even the dress that she wore when she was young, all of them are average common dress, some celebrities and CEO's or business person is even more lavish than her. And all of her castle is old medieval castle, and only being maintained to be taken care of, that's why people love her, despite every scandal and controversy brought up by her children and grandchildren, people still love her, even republican figure in every country where she's the head of states is so respecting her that they wanna turn republic once her reign is over (after she died, Long Live the Queen)

A lavish lifestyle? Living in old palaces and country estates that are cold, drafty, leaks with few moments of privacy from attendant staff and undertaking royal duties all the time, even when she is sad or unwell. Countless miles smiling and shaking the hands of strangers, being gawked at. I think too many people equate status with privilege. The Queen is a rare creature and we have been lucky to have her as our head of state for so many years.

@@herreach6955 I would say Princess Anne lives a relatively low key life as well. No fuss, just get on with it kind of lady

Dancing is an ancient world wide tradition. I’m sure her Germanic influences were part of her everyday life and family tradition but some Greek too from her fathers side.

Anymore info needed?

It was princess Ann speaking here

Hello Renee, How are you doing?

Just great to watch over and over again..love it.

And viola The Queen and Princess Anne too could dance

It’s true. They really nailed it down with the scene with their outfits and everything. They really did the research.

Right? I watched this video months ago, and I just started season 5 of The Crown and I was so impressed too by how accurate everything is to this real life event

Thanks for the recommendation, i'll watch it

See that girl...watch that scene lol

Uhhhh yeahh

The REAL dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are low

"... Having the time of your life..."

Is that why her Son's Charles and Andrew are so screwed up?

What a silly and sad thing to say.

@@lindsaybradley300 I agree with you !

Hello Victoria

Sometimes the really reserved ones are the sort that do let loose at a party; it was amusing to see Charles getting into it.

I wouldn't call that dancing Suave but he was in step.

@@jeanpalumbo3411 b

Yes, he has swag LOL!

Our beautiful Queen and lovely Queen Mother.

I don't have the same opinion, I'm all for a Republic and we should kick them out especially when the Queen dies just like Maggie Thatcher said in The Crown.

@LION OF NORTH no I won't regret it. When you have a family that live in the height of luxury when there are homeless people on the streets many of them military veterans, it's disgraceful. Most members of the Royal Family don't give a damn about regular people so I certainly don't consider it an honour that the monarchy still exists. Once Queen dies retire them as they'll certainly have enough money to do so.

@@lepolhart3242 You get your "culture" from "The Crown", you pathetic moron :D ?

She got spun right round, baby, right round!

🤣🥰🤣

Don't they.... 😎

I think Charles is rather tipsy

Second me Believe me that man could dance I know it for a fact he literally swept me off my feet in my youth when I was fortunate enough to dance a Scottish reels or ten with him through the years

Hello Patricia

May I have your honourable name, sir?

@@longbow101 yes it's Neale Climpson

She’s a survivor…. She’s fine

She's 95. What do you expect?

Well she was 65 there.... She is 95 now....

@@rickardnyberg4899 I was commenting on her recent weight loss, since the death of Prince Philip..of course she looks different after 30 years .

I thought it was just me that noticed how much weight she lost.

Hello Laura

Wonderful!

Ps- I like how Charles dances.

Yes but we can't live in the past. We have to move forward.

Hello Peggy

Hello Maria

Hello Karen

Hello Mary

@Kittie Kellie Yes they were Scottish- Germans. George I was 50%Scots and 50% German.Elizabeth of Bohemia was a Scottish Princess born in Dunfermline which is why they ended up on the Scottish throne

@Kittie Kellie they’re part German, and probably so are you.

@stefanos stavros I take it you do not know much about Scottish history. In no way is she "Queen of the Scots" there is no relation to the Stuart's. Apart from the simple fact that her proper title should be Queen Elizabeth II of England and 1st of Scotland. Since Scotland never had a Queen Elizabeth the 1st

@@paulinefraser7877 In fact Queen Elizabeth is descended from King James VI of Scotland

She will be fine. Worry about your servile soul instead.

Elliot Dobie..This Wonderful Woman is loved and respected by so many ..always dignified and respectful God Bless our Queen Elizabeth..

😭

It's not the queen who was speaking but princess Ann

What did she do?

Zero_BS_Tolerance except she was a total narcissist who couldn’t handle any responsibilities, cheated on her husband and disrespected the royal family. She was deranged.

Patrick3183 Charles was having an affair with Camilla also

@@Patrick3183 Refreshing change to hear the truth.👏👏

wow rlly it doesn’t matter. Two wrongs don’t make A right.

Patrick3183 Who knew that England had prince Charles supporters who look like ignorant inbred Trump hillbillies.

Diana and now The Queen herself

Thank you for your words

The "eternal couple in love".

The queen had more to bear upon her shoulders. The added weight of the duty to her realm, and its members. If you had to carry what she must, you too would look more burdened than not.

@@trymenot81 I see the general point, Queen Elizabeth II. seems to be a little bit less jolly and naturally "outgoing" like her mother was at ... well, *90.* Maybe she has always been more of a shy person than her own mother (who could also "allow" herself a bit more as she was no regnant monarch at 90). But needless to say, Queen Elizabeth II. is in an incredible physical and mental state regarding that she has not actually had a day off (at leat not mentally, I would guess) since her 25th year of life, though I'm not sure Her Majesty the Queen Mother had much less to carry on her shoulder. She lived through two world wars (especially the second), helped to get a war-torn country back on its feet, tried to make her husband survive the (unexpected) burdens of kingship only to loose him way too early. With her existence as a wife (to a man who needed quite a lot of help) and her job as Queen fading away all at once, I think many partners would have followed within short time. But she not only outlived her husband for fifty years, she did so with no actual position and yet we remember her as the epitome of grace, kindness and endurance. I can only assume Queen Mom must have had sensational dignity and self- discipline. Her dancing joyfully at 90-something shows how much she expected of her own physical health and mindset. I got twenty year-old friends who moan about having to accept their first appartment in a (standard-sized) building without an elevator... 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyhow, both women come from a strong line of great women and I have quite some respect looking at either one of them now!

@@NiVi192 Just as your comment, the two women are to be thoroughly admired.

The Queen look more fragile cuz she have problem on her knee ,she need surgery,but people saying she don't want to do that .

I only have the faintest memories of the queen mum from when I was small (seen on the news, of course, never in person) so I was astonished not only that I instantly recognised her here, but of the great sense of fondness I felt for her, as though I were seeing footage of my own great grandmother lighthearted and dancing with a right good will. She was a remarkable woman, and a blessing to her country and community!
