American Couple Reacts: Who is King Charles III? Learning About The New King & A Glimpse At His Life

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

This was a very small glimpse into King Charles but there were things we certainly didn't know. Please be respectful in the comments as we know certain things brought up in the video are sensitive. We thank you for watching. Please Like 👍🏻 the video and God Save The King!

[@stuartmccall5474]

Hi N & D, The Princes Trust has a Website which if you read the section under "Successes" gives you an idea about the good that it does to those NOT born with even a plastic spoon in their mouth. If you look at the same Title in WIKI you get a more comprehensive idea of the good that it does and continues to do as it expands over the Commonwealth. I think you might be surprised? Agreed, you would do well not to comment on the Diana years which all British public/media know they shared a bit of guilt about, as in those days it was considered necessary for Charles to be be married to a woman with no "reputation or history". He had known Camilla long before Diana but (then) she wouldn't have been considered acceptable. The Charles detractors should pay heed to the support he has in the UK particularly within minority Communities be they racial, religious or financially disadvantaged as he has spent the last 4 decades actually doing something of practical value attempting to bring "the fringes into the centre" rather than just talking the talk. Listen to his 1st speech as King, the aim is still there. Regards to you both.

[@tonys1636]

There have been whispers from The Palace that Operation Golden Orb, the Coronation, could be on 2nd June '23. This is the date of Queen Elizabeth's coronation in '53. This would be one week before the Monarch's Official Birthday Parade. the Trooping of the Colour, so would be a busy couple of weeks for the Household Divisions as it was back then. The Monarch's Birthday Parade was done on the actual Birthday until George III, his Birthday was in November and he decided that the weather would be too inclement, so changed it to the Saturday closest to 11th June, the 11th being his Birthday in November.

[@ronnienose8608]

His Uncle, Lord Mountbatton was blown up on a boat by the IRA. Years later, after peace was finally brought to Northern Ireland the political wing of the IRA gains members of parliament, and I believe Charles and the Queen on a visit to the country had to meet them. I can't imagine how they must have felt, having to be courteous and friendly whilst knowing these people were part of the organisation that murdered one of their family members.

[@tonys1636]

@@ronnienose8608 When Queen Elizabeth visited Ireland she shook hands with Martin McGuinness, the alleged Commander in Chief of the IRA, deputy leader of the NI Assembly at the time, with her lovely smile on her face, she never reavealed what she was actually thinking with an expression, well not in public. I don't think I could have done it, Charles will be equally at ease with the same situations.

[@revbenf6870]

The guy who asked Charles for a beer was in Birmingham during the Commonwealth Games in August. The guy said that later on the security guys were sent to find him and he was taken to Charles who said he was sorry not to be able to have drink, but spent about 15 minutes with the guy asking about his job and family etc. After that the guy said he'd never thought much of Charles but completely changed his mind. (This was as reported in a local paper).

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

That must of been a different time as what we were referring to was right after the passing of Queen Elizabeth. King Charles is shown in the video leaving the crowd, as the gentleman that asked him was yelling from fairly far back.

I think the Queen staying at Balmoral after Diana died was her thinking with her grandmother head not her monarch head and I for one think she did the right thing. She was protecting her beloved grandsons the best way she could.

[@gordonsmith8899]

I think the problem was caused by a misunderstanding. Diana's brother's immediate reaction was that she would be buried privately on the family estate. Blair's decision that she would have a state funeral changed the public expectations from "it's a family funeral, give them some space" to "it's a state funeral - where's the Queen"

[@titchs9098]

Annoys me when people slag the Queen off for that. She did what any grandmother would do in that situation. She put family before duty, for once. I think people would have moaned if she had left them, too.

[@bluezauza]

I agree, I was disgusted with the mass histeria in the UK against a grandmother comforting her grandchildren that lost their mother. The public was selfish and horrid to all of them, specially the boys and the Queen.

[@marymorgan8728]

Totally agree, her priority was rightly to be there for her grandsons. Her duty to to two bereaved little lads was more important and she didn't deserve any of the criticism thrown at her.

[@traceytaylor2985]

Fitch S I agree, look what happened when they did return to London the press and public got involved and those boys were paraded around looking at flowers, so intrusive when in shock and grieving their Mother. She, the Queen was trying to protect them and it was no one else's business, I admired her for doing that.

[@jillosler9353]

His father loved him dearly but Philip was a man's man whereas Charles loved art and poetry as against tough sports. Gordonstoun was supposed to 'toughen him up' but you cannot change your personality and I feel so sad for the little boy far from home being laughed at and bullied by those who would have viewed him as a sissy. But experiences in life make us empathetic to others. Charles will be a good King.

[@andywilliams7323]

Classic mistake, far too many fathers make, assuming and expecting their sons to be a copy of and just like them.

His father loved him dearly only joking. His father was much fonder of Princess Anne than he was of Charles although fond is perhaps the wrong word to use in connection with Prince Philip.

[@Michael.Talbot]

@@andywilliams7323 Maybe his father did it to teach him humility knowing his future role at this early age. It served him well though 👍 Edit.. I am not sure if humility is the right word but it showed him the world is not full of "yes" men which i guess is all the had met until that time.

[@kaspianepps7946]

@@Michael.Talbot By all accounts, Prince Phillip had a great time at Gordonstoun; so I think it was more a case of him not appreciating that it wasn't the best fit for Charles.

[@bigbad123321]

I did the Princes trust when I was 16 and had just left school. It's a free course which lasts 12 weeks, where you learn different skills and do different activities each week. For example, I did 2 weeks work experience, went caving, rock climbing, sailing, camping, worked on my CV (resume), did charity work, a presentation in front of a big audience, helped the Police in their training (acted out crime scenarios for new police recruits) and a bunch of other things which really boosted my confidence at that age. I ended up joining the Royal Navy straight after that.

[@samanthaobertelle4966]

I was part of the princes trust...it helped me so much in setting my business up...not only financially but you are helped emotionally and there is help at the end of a phone constantly with a mentor! ..king Charles is a massive advocate for charity and the princes trust helped so many young people ..he to me is a great human being in helping younger people in achieving their goals and dreams ..❤❤

[@MarkmanOTW]

My great uncle (Ronald) was a commander in the Royal Navy, and was Prince Charles' tutor/mentor as he trained and served in the military. He would continue to meet Prince Charles and his uncle Lord Mountbatten (former Admiral of the Fleet) for lunch years after Charles completed his service. Funny story: When I was at secondary school, my English class was asked to write an essay about a family member. Uncle Ron lent me his navy scrapbooks, and I wrote about him and Prince Charles. I was downmarked because the teacher said "You have to write about relation you know, not a fictitious person and someone in the public eye". So the next class I took in the scrapbooks (with photos) and proved to the teacher that my account was true. 😄

[@philrobinson981]

@Mark Batchelor....Hello, 2 things firstly you must be really proud of what you're Uncle achieved with the Royal Navy tutoring the then Prince Charles & secondly I bet you were really buzzing inside when you took the photo's in to show the teacher, i'd have loved to have seen the look on their face when you showed the photo's, I would guess astonishment...God Save The King

A lovely story from his Royal Navy days for you to smile about ladies.... If, when in service, as a sailor you did something wrong - or against naval standards, you would be brought before the Captain or the Officer of the Watch for summary punishment (This was usually a loss of pay or additional - un-happy duties). One day a sailor was brought before the now King Charles to answer to his behaviour.... The sailor disagreed with Charles punishment and stated that he wished to take it higher - Charles replied, "What do you want to do sailor - speak to my Mother?".......

[@sarahealey1780]

I wouldn't trade lives with him for anything, people look at the royals and just see privilege, I see a life time of scrutiny and work, There are definite moments of my life I wouldn't want publicised to the world.

[@TheNatashaDebbieShow]

We feel the same way.

[@paulbarnett227]

Yes, their life is not their own. They live in the proverbial goldfish bowl. Elizabeth was working right up until she died - at 96 for goodness sake! Kings and Queens don't usually get to retire.

[@alanaw27]

The Queen dedicated her life to here country and the Commonwealth when she was 21. His father had had a very difficult childhood. His mother had a mental breakdown, his family ended up poor in Paris, British relations paid for his schooling and took him in for school holidays. He knew he had to make a life for himself, Gordonstone encouraged independence and gave him security, as did the Royal Navy. After marriage to the Queen, he had lots of problems carving out a role for himself. Philip had to be tough to survive and he was afraid his sensitive son would not be able to cope with the demands of his future life. It is a life of constant service and public scrutiny and not everyone can do it. Those that can are worth their weight in gold to the Nation. King Charles will do well.

[@catbevis1644]

I think with his two marriages (neutrally put!) Charles was pretty unpopular for a while, and I can certainly remember people in the past saying he should give up the throne in favour of his eldest son William. But in the last few years I haven't heard this at all- people have really warmed to him and come to appreciate his charity work, his role as the Duke of Cornwall etc. I think mostly we've just accepted who he is as a person- a little shy and awkward sometimes but hey we're British and he's one of us :)

[@nickname6747]

A story about the Queens sense of humor I’ve always liked, a new Arch Bishop was being appointed and met with the Queen. S he welcomed him and asked if he would like something to drink. He thanked her and asked for a sherry which, to his surprise the Queen got for him, gave it to him and sat down. The Arch Bishop, unsure what to do asked if she would like a drink to which she’s replied, good heavens no, it’s Lent.

i have a small story too. During the queen's coronation, when prince phillip swore fealty to her, he kissed her cheek, looked at her crown and said, ' nice hat' . Oh alright! I said it was small.

[@Marie-Elaine]

Hello, I agree, the Coronation is when the mantle of state falls on the Queen's young shoulders. The King was heavily bullied at Gordonstoun.

[@flamelily2086]

It was the wrong school for any sensitive child. No modern school would get away with the conditions Charles and other pupils had to endure.

[@Betru2u60]

Yes that school was not for someone with his personality. Great for his Dad though.

[@JanoJ]

The narrator did NOT say the "Happiest" day of her life.. but the GREATEST day of her life, which si a very different meaning, ie day of greatest importance, significance, etc.(maybe a british/american difference in interpretation). Just wanted to point that out!

[@Kari_B61ex]

My dad went to Gordonstoun, he was in the year below Prince Charles and also hated it. His dad was an officer in the Navy and wanted him to follow in his footsteps, dad didn't want that. As soon as school was over for him - he rebelled.

[@ymrabc]

I believe that Charles and his father Prince Phillip did have a difficult relationship when he was younger be wise Charles was very sensitive and rather shy and Philip was very much a no nonsense man’s man who wanted to toughen up his son a bit but as time went on and they understood each other better they became much closer - Prince Phillip said once that he realised Charles is a Romantic and he was a pragmatist and so they saw things differently. That level of understanding of each other helped their relationship a lot.

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

Three things have stood out for me, both from observing the then Prince Charles from afar, and during each of the occasions we have met. He is a naturally shy and diffident person other than when discussing areas of particular interest, such as the environment. He has a wickedly dry sense of humour. He is very knowledgeable in some areas, but in others (such as most team sports), he has no interest whatsoever.

[@juliaroberts4962]

He used to love polo though and played competitively for many years. I believe he had to give it up on doctors orders because of issues with his spine.

[@timbob1145]

You can see he still finds public occasions somewhat uncomfortable, always adjusting his tie, cuffs or something else. He seems a very gentle and seemingly, I hate to use the word but, 'nice' bloke.

I don't get the notion that Charles is "political" when it comes to certain issues,such as enviroment,animal welfare. It is universal issues that concerns the whole humanity and should not divide but unite us all. Here in Norway we have a King ( King Charles 2nd cousin) and he is quite outspoken about issues we concider universal,such as anti-rasism,enviroment,accepting all religions and supporting LBTQ+ community.

[@The_Relaxation_Coach]

I'm a Londoner. Love your videos. Reporters and journalists say all sorts about the royal family. We don't know what's true and what isn't as the royal family don't respond/answer back. I hadn't heard anyone else say there was a lot of tension between King Charles and his late father. Maybe I just didn't read or see it. They had different views based on what I have seen them do and say on TV, but that's understandable and healthy I'd say. A lot of royals do a lot of good work and we only hear about a fraction of that I think. Most of us have no idea what has gone on behind closed doors, some journalists speak as though they have more knowledge and authority than they actually have! You are both so respectful of UK and it's interesting to hear your views, on the fun things, as well as the more serious things

[@davidmckie7128]

I think that the commentator at the coronation saying "On what must be the greatest day of her life" probably meant the fact that she was now the Queen, which is a huge responsibility at such a young age. [in the clip that was shown, he didn't say "the happiest day of her life"]

[@jcortese3300]

[@miniveedub]

@@Michael.Talbot there is a world of difference between not kowtowing nor being a yes man and being a bully. Fortunately he left Gordonstoun and went to Timbertop where he was treated as an equal and received the same teasing and roughhousing as everyone else but wasn’t bullied.

[@vaudevillian7]

That’s not necessarily what a Republic would mean, it would be like Ireland, the elected position of President would be ceremonial (no need for them to be part of a political party, probably preferable that they’re not) the same as the monarch’s role now - I think the misunderstanding happens when people here Republic they only think of the US where head of state and head of government is rolled into one.

He suffered bullying there which is bad for any child ....but he couldn't go home for a hug from his mum and dad.😟 Charles has had his ups and downs with regards to public opinion (me included) but I have grown to really like and respect him.

[@geddesjimmy]

My son at work in a news publishing group was there when Charles arrived to open the new printing line and new newspaper. Everyone was told to not ask for an autograph. When the first newspaper rolled off the line, my son took it and asked prince Charles to sign it, which he did. He signed it "Charlie" a photographer took a photograph of Charles signing it with my son beside him, so he still has the newspaper and the photograph.

[@tomboychick]

I found it really sad when Charles had his first in-person meeting with his first serving Prime Minister as King. The first thing he said to Liz Truss, after thanking her for meeting him (as is standard protocol) was "This is the day I've dreaded". Of course, we've made light of it, joking about his dread of meeting Truss, a politician who's career could be best described as a equally hilarious yet cringe worthy, train wreck, but if course we all know what he meant. His being there meant his mum was truly gone. I'm not a royalist or anti monarchy, but just the thought of loosing my mum, then immediately having to quite literally take over her job, is heartbreaking. I do not envy Charles in the slightest. The rest of us would be given leave from work to grieve. Even in a small family run business, you can hand the reins over for a brief time to someone else. It's a responsibility we can cast off, so we can just focus on coping with our loss. He doesn't have that luxury. And just describing being allowed time to grieve as a luxury is just so sad. It's not a luxury. It's a right we are all entitled too. When some sectors sneer at the royals, claiming they have easy lives, I just think this is prime example of how it's not. Yes, the counter argument will be "Well, when my mum died, I kept working", but the huge difference is, is that you had a choice. And you haven't got pretty much the entire world watching & scrutinizing your every word.

[@OiiRobbi3x]

[@rainbowsparkle1]

I like Charles. I've always liked him. I feel like he's quite human and, as a human being, has really tried to do the best he can in the face of everything. I'm actually on the fence regarding the monarchy, not really a royalist or a republican, but I do like Charles. As for forgetting to call him "King" Charles - I do that all the time. I grew up referring to the Queen as "the Queen", never just Elizabeth, but referring to Charles as just Charles. I think it will take a long time, if ever, for me to change it!

Thank you for another great response that I finally got around to. I've never met our new King, but there is also a Prince of Wales Award for Innovation, and a friend of mine is.... Well, an inventor. Before meeting the then Prince of Wales, he was briefed by a member of the staff and instructed not to initiate conversation or speak unless spoken to. (As Her late Majesty once said of them, 'Much too grand for the likes of us') 😉 When Charles arrived, Tony (Being Tony) pulled out a piece of his shape memory alloy and said 'Come and take a look at this!' Charles was quite fascinated and they had a really good old chat. He is not a politician. And that's the beauty of the system.

I used to work in An office that was was next door to a very unassuming office, Prince Charles visited this office very regularly. It was used for the Princes Trust. No fuss or bother.

[@nellykingkong82]

thank you for showing such great respect for our country and customs at this difficult time!

The King is a fan of whacky surreal humour. In his youth he was a big fan of a BBC radio show called The Goon Show. This was performed by Peter Sellars (Inspector Cluseau in the Pink Panther films), Harry Secombe (he performed in opera but is known mainly as a comic actor and comedian) and performed by Spike Milligan. Look them up on the internet. He can speak Welsh which is not easy to learn if you are not a native speaker. The Prince's Trust does a lot of valuable work working with disadvantaged young people and provides training in life skills, workplace skills and support.

[@xhogun8578]

The Prince's trust is an amazing charity it helps young people from the age of 11 to 30. May be worth doing a video about it. Just watch a video about the time Prince Charles lived in the Scottish isles as a crofter so he could get a better understanding of their life. He does a lot for rural communities. One Welsh famer when interviewed was impressed in his hedge laying skills. The King wasn't scared to muck in and do physical work.

I agree her coronation was not joyous. Greatest" as he said historically but not joyous. First, until her uncle David abdicated she never knew she would be Queen. She also saw the awful toll being King during WW2, for a shy man like her father, took on him. Her father was in his early 50's and very dear to her. I think Charles has a good heart and good intentions. I wish him the best.

[@zaygezunt]

Another respectful and entertaining video from you gals, thank you! I think if you watched a video on the life of Prince Philip you would find it really interesting, it's not an exaggeration to say he was an incredible man - war hero, staunch husband and someone who spoke his mind (oh yes and he was very funny). Love to you from the UK 🇬🇧

[@michelletrudgill4573]

Love the video girlies. I personally I think Charles will be a good King. As you say he has been learning all his life. Yes he had an awful time at boarding school. Xx

[@extint3407]

When they said " he will be the most prepared king in our history" its because he is the longest heir apparent ( basically waiting for the throne) in British history, he's been waiting 70 years

[@craigwhittaker928]

Hello there ladies, just wanted to say thanks again for another video. I so enjoy seeing you both, laughing and keeping it real on all your uploads. Today i found the Queen's Christmas broadcast from 2021 on KZbin and it brought me a sense of comfort and peace. Thought you might benefit from it in the same way. Take care and keep doing just what you do. It makes such a difference. Craig from England xxxxx

[@sporkfindus4777]

Most of the people I speak to these days are either in support of the royal family or begin by saying "I'm not the biggest royalist, but ...", so support is, I think, relatively high at present. But, a lot of people say that William will be a better king, they prefer William or that Charles should give way to William. I don't agree. I like Charles. No-one is perfect, but I think he's a likeable, decent, hard-working person. I like both Charles and William, but this is Charles' time and he'll be a good king.

[@janetscarfe4798]

I have just watched this and read the comments. I think you are a great couple, and it's so nice you are interested in the Royal family, the history of the Monarchy. Also, very astute in how you deal with what has happened in the past and, from what I see, tread carefully. He is not popular in all quarters, mainly, I think because of his marriage to Diana. It was the need for him to provide an heir. I'm sure you know the story and it ended in tragedy. Yes, I think he will be a good King.

Cheers guys. Excellent stuff. One tiny matter: "The Greatest Day of her life..." does not mean the happiest, or best. It means the most important day of her life. Language is fluid. It diversifies. The England of 1953 used a very strange language for modern ears. Brilliant meant "Big shiny light". Awesome meant "Terrifying". Fantastic meant "Horrifying, incredible, unimaginable horrors". "It sucks" probably referred to that new fangle vacuum cleaner. Your show is Brilliant, Fantastic, Awesome and it is a broken Hoover (It doesn't suck). I love your show. Bloody Lovely.

I think that because the Queen had a sense of humour and wasn't afraid to show it in public, the following Monarchy will show their lighter side and that will bring them closer to their subjects.

Hi Natasha & Debbie. I live in Scotland and always find your videos well worth watching. One fact I heard about Queen Elizabeth II was that she met almost all the last 15 US presidents (She didn’t meet LBJ) so she met almost a third of all the presidents there has ever been. That must be a record.

[@FoolsDiary]

I met Charles in a private setting 2x, once in a mine sweepers mess (by accident that time lol) and the next at a Ladies night . We ended up talking about music and comedy..... He came over as a very caring and sort of gentle man with impeccable manners. He is decent actually. I doubt you know about this one but as the Duke of Cornwall he has been excellent!! The Duchy comes with the Prince of Wales. Cornwall (and I am Cornish so bias) as we were one of the Celtic UK nations but though we spent I think it was 300+ years sort of holding our own we rebelled once too often and got smashed by the English. They (as they dd in Wales) banned our language, we were thrown in jail if we spoke it etc etc etc. It was how things were in the late 18th Century, Now thankfully we can speak our langue and its under-gown a revival though it had died out to the point it was filled in with some Welsh words and man its tough to learn lol. Charles took o the Dutchy when he was 21. It was basically bankrupt and he has turn it into a multi billion pound concern BUT he has done it with care for his tenets! He will be a good King, he really will.

the clip showing Princess Diana 😑and i agree guys you always remember where you were and what you were doing when you hear news like that. Some of the Diana documentaries are brilliant as well, but what a sad ending for her... I think Charles and Diana were compatible to a certain extent but they just gradually grew apart, i just think Charles always loved Camilla and never forgot her and the most important thing is that he's happy.

[@25dimensionsfrancis42]

There is an obvious fact that some may forget and that is that no human is perfect. Then one has to define the word perfect not forgetting that "one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter". Both Diana and Charles had faults....shock horror!

[@alanaw27]

Totally correct.

[@paulbarnett227]

Murdering Lord Mountbatten was not an act of freedom fighting - it was an act of pure evil. The IRA were not fighting for freedom - they were 'fighting' to join Northern Ireland to Ireland and separating NI from the UK - against the wishes of the majority of the people that lived there. I'm not defending the "Loyalist" paramilitaries though - they were just as evil.

[@michaelmontagu3979]

Absolutely agree with you. I get rather annoyed with people who think that Diana was a Saint. The three in this marriage was a bit hypocritical considering the number of affairs she had, and the two other marriages that she helped break up.

[@paulbarnett227]

@@michaelmontagu3979 I'm not convinced that Harry is Charles' son. William is but not sure about Harry.

[@michaelmontagu3979]

@@paulbarnett227 That's always been a question. Let me give you an answer. Men's hair genetically comes from the maternal line. The Spencer line is known for red hair. Look at the young Sir Winston Churchill. Diana met Hewitt when she decided to try riding again after a bad fall when she was a girl. Hewitt was based at Combermere Barracks in Windsor and was chosen for his riding skills and charm. Harry was nearly two years old then. Look at the young Prince Philip and there is a likeness. Go back as far as the late Queen's grandmother and there is a likeness. For all her failings, caused largely by childhood issues with an alcohol fuelled bully father and adulterous mother, and her own affairs, she was an aristocrat, and deeply aware of the importance of maintaining the bloodline. I am not a fan of Diana, from knowledge of her quite appalling behaviour, that comes from friends at Kensington Palace and my own 30 years of service in The Queen's household, but I have no doubt that The King is Harry's father.

I respect King Charles, and discard anything that H and M say. False accusations, proved to be wrong by video, and photographic evidence. Long live the King!!. 🇬🇧

[@paulbarnett227]

I think some of the things are true but misunderstood by Meghan. For example - the "what colour will the baby be?" comment was possibly Prince Phillip being verbally very clumsy - which he was well known (and loved) for. There would have been NO MALICE WHATSOEVER but as Meghan was unfamiliar with Philip and his very un-PC tongue took great offence. So what I see is not lies but very unfortunate misunderstandings. Philip's sense of humour was not always understood but he NEVER meant any offence. Unfortunately Meghan did not see it that way - just sayin'.

Lord Mountbatten was blown up along with other members of his family while on the family’s fishing boat by the IRA, Irish Republican Army, while on a morning fishing in Ireland. It was during the height of the violence when Northern Ireland was trying to separate. Interestingly they don’t mention Diana also had affairs.
