American Reacts to Ridiculous Jobs on the Queen's Staff

[@waynekozak1462]

one of the reasons that stamps are so important to the Brits, is because they invented the whole idea of a postage stamp. They made the first-ever postage stamp and it doesnt have any nation mentioned on it because there was no need to. That condition exists to this day. Their stamps STILL dont have a nation printed on them.

[@candyclews4047]

It's so amusing watching Tyler's videos. I realise I knew more than I thought I did :) as a Brit, of course. I'm sure I'd get tripped up on American stuff.

[@barbarabenoit3667]

I wonder, when is Tyler getting, that this is not staff of a rich individual. They are not hired and fired for a certain job. These positions are an honour. A lot of the persons who have such a position are not paid - or not paid a lot. They do it, because they serve their queen and their country through it. In the UK people are proud of their monarchy. The monarch is a servant of their people and a lot of people give back in return, doing stuff they know well. They are not selfish - and not after the money. It may be a foreign concept for a person from the United States.

[@mintyfrompolo]

O'm not hahing a pop here, but there's so much that Americans don't seem to understand and get wrong about the British Monarchy and its thousand year history. They'd need to spend a long time over here to take it all in.

[@christineperez7562]

I am praying for my fellow Americans to get off of social media, get a passport, and start traveling, or go to school abroad. Save your money by the time you graduate you have money to travel with.

[@jn715-i3h]

Interesting it was the Americans that bought social media and the likes of youtube to the world so that Brits and the rest of the world can be on here and discuss with the world stuff like this!. In fact the US owns most of the digital economy, do you recognise that? Why don't you do something like Tyler on youtube and talk about the US? Do you not think the history between the US and UK has impacted the education systems in both countries and what is taught in their instititutions? I have spoken to some English people and asked them on the spot do they know every state of the US? Do they know why the US has different state laws? Low and behold they could not name every state of the US and could not explain why there are different states laws.

[@johnkemp8904]

@@jn715-i3h I think it’s what interests you both at and after school that matters - if you are interested to read history and associated matters. Some people in any country you might care to mention will not be interested and then will be happily ignorant of facts. That is entirely up to them. I am sure I could work through the 50 states given a little thought and I know every President from Washington to Biden with dates which I suggest is somewhat more onerous. I had the pleasure of listening to Alastair Cooke’s ‘Letter from America’ every week on BBC Radio for several decades. An urbane British-born American and supreme communicator who also made the classic 13-part TV history series ‘America’. Commenced by Ronald Reagan I believe. I remember him saying that when the book of the series was published he came over for the UK launch and on the telephone his US born and bred daughter asked him how it was going. “Like a bomb” he replied, to which she replied that she was so sorry to hear it. Of course for ‘going like a bomb’ he had reached into his English vocabulary for rampant success but she heard it as having bombed which I understand is a US term for absolute failure! We seek to understand one another. Tyler does so which I commend but perhaps he has a tendency to take a view that these things don’t happen in the USA so they must be fusty useless relics of the past. I mentioned the Astronomer Royal in an early reply and made the point that he is a man of international standing and repute whereas it might seem fromTyler’s reaction that it is more a matter of HMQ requiring someone with a telescope to be installed in a dusty office in Buckingham Palace in case upon a whim she decides she wants to know something on the subject. To quote an early Bing Crosby lyric ‘T’ain’t so, honey, t’ain’t so!’

[@johnkemp8904]

Again, edit is unresponsive. It should be ‘commended by Ronald Reagan’.

[@jackpearson5285]

It's important to note that most of these appointments aren't proper jobs, they're honorary positions. Like receiving a knighthood or other honours. The people given these appointments are given a title and a chance to perform some stately duties as a recognition for what they've achieved throughout their careers in a particular field. These titles and duties also help them to encourage others to take an interest in their field. For example if an astrophysicist visits a school to encourage kids to take a keener interest in science, that's kind of cool but a bit boring; if that astrophysicist is the Royal Astronomer, a member of the royal household, it demonstrates something more exciting and proves that there are rewards and recognitions out there for people who apply themselves to doing something with their education.

The person breaking in shoes is totally overblown in this and other videos I've seen. One of her ladies breaks her shoes in, she doesn't employ someone specifically for that. She is on her feet for huge amounts of time and shouldn't be in pain. When my mum was old I did the same for her.

[@christineperez7562]

Breaking in the shoes is what they do when you rent a tux and shoes. Like my son's shoes needed broken in and she put in a wooden like block thing to stretch it out a little. No one put their foot in it though.

[@gillianrimmer7733]

The Queen's dresser, Angela Kelly wrote that she sometimes broke in new shoes for the Queen if they were ones she would be wearing to public functions. She is, apparently, the Queen's closest confidant/friend, has worked for her for years, and designs and is in charge of all the Queen's clothes, jewellery etc... It is her job to select and pack everything the queen needs for trips, state functions etc... As well as looking after them on a daily basis She's more like a personal assistant and not a 'wearer in' of her shoes. She is often seen accompanying the Queen at public functions.

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

The Executive Office of the US President employs just over 2000 people. This excludes the military who staff the Air Force One, or Marine One, the guards at the WH and Camp David and the Executive Building, or the Secret Service and communications staff. So the total is over 6000. The Queen's staff is employed by the Crown, and are effectively civil servants. Only a handful are the Royals' personally appointed staff.

Tyler, please put the time in to do proper research - reading Wikipedia and watching a few videos are not proper research. Since Markle invaded the British royal family there are an increasing number of Americans critiquing Britain, the UK, the British monarchy, its history and its place in Britain and the world. They seem to think they're somehow entitled to do so. Yet, when "H" critiqued points of the U.S. constitution Americans were outraged - "How dare he meddle!!!" Don't get me wrong, I think "H" should keep his uneducated opinion to himself. U.S. citizens are the people with the right to judge their system. Just as I think the Americans ridiculing the British constitutional monarchy should keep their uneducated opinions to themselves.Cheers.

[@lindylou7853]

Now, don’t start taking the Mickey out of us on the matter of swans or we might have to cite the annual POTUS ceremony of pardoning a turkey, where POTUS has a choice of two turkeys to pardon and picks one. Not only is this ridiculous but there’s no fancy costumes or hundreds of years of tradition involved to make it exciting viewing. You’d think in a land 40 times as big as the UK that you could afford to pardon both turkeys - that’s not including POTUS. The swans - hundreds of years ago, swans and their eggs were a valuable source of food. So, that food needed protecting. Nobles and merchant organisations claimed them by putting marks in their beaks and appointing, “swan masters” to protect, count and mark the swans. Over the years, the monarch took over the ownership of the swans. However, to this day certain merchant groups, like the Vintners, are responsible for swans in certain areas. This is now a ceremonial ownership involving counting and ringing swans every year. Yes, the swan masters have ceremonial boats and uniforms, but a lot of UK customs have such traditions.

[@cireenasimcox1081]

No, the Queen doesn't get woken up at 9! She gets up at 7.30 every day of her life (including Sundays and holidays) gets a cuppa & goes to work on the Royal Dispatches. She's been Queen for 70 years - so that's 70 years without a lie-in!! (And most of the royal family utterly hates the 9am 'concert' btw!) Most of the swans on the Thames are the property of various organisations and are marked that way. It's only if a cygnet (baby swan) is found without a marking that she takes it in - usually these are orphans. Adult swans without marking are few & far between as you can see by the fact that they are all checked regularly. As for swans being regarded as beautiful & graceful in the USA - I'm pretty certain that every country that has wild swans feels the same. That's exactly the reason they were once served at the Royal Table: so dainty & beautiful that only a monarch could eat them: fit for a King. Or Queen. It's been a part of swan protection for hundreds of years - long before conservation became a thing - to put a royal sanction on killing them. What with all the wars & famines & crop failures, swans on the Thames would probably have gone extinct hundreds of years ago if they didn't have royal protection. The shoe thing was kinda exaggerated. It's no-ones actual job - she'd have to be buying new shoes every week for that! My mother used to use me for this same thing - but the Queen usually asks one of her Ladies in Waiting to do it.

Breaking in Queen's shoes is not a job as such. When she buys new shoes one of her staff wears them for a bit to make them comfortable since she is on her feet a lot of time and needs comfy shoes. Please don't think only to do that, she isn't. Grossly exaggerated.

[@mintyfrompolo]

The woman who does that has a good relationship with the Queen, and helps advise her, when needed, with her clothing. Apparently, the Queen will always wears bright colours, on visits, to make it easy for people, who may have been standing for some time, to be able to pick her out amongst the crowds easier. We all now know what she carries in her handbags too. 😄

oddest job? The British Poet Laureate is an honorary position appointed by the monarch of the United Kingdom, currently on the advice of the prime minister. The role does not entail any specific duties, but there is an expectation that the holder will write verse for significant national occasions. The origins of the laureateship date back to 1616 when a pension was provided to Ben Jonson, but the first official holder of the position was John Dryden, appointed in 1668 by Charles II. On the death of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, who held the post between November 1850 and October 1892, there was a break of four years as a mark of respect; Tennyson's laureate poems "Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington" and "The Charge of the Light Brigade" were particularly cherished by the Victorian public. Three poets, Thomas Gray, Samuel Rogers and Walter Scott, turned down the laureateship.[1] The holder of the position as at January 2022 is Simon Armitage who succeeded Carol Ann Duffy in May 2019.[2] wkipedia

Some things that may interest you : It's not just the swans that Her Majesty owns - since 1324, she also technically claims all the sturgeons, whales, and dolphins in the waters around England and Wales, and if you catch one and want to sell it, as a gesture of loyalty you must make a request to the Queen. And the rule has been put into practice recently, too. In 2004, a Welsh fisherman was investigated by the police after catching a 10-foot sturgeon - but the Palace decreed he could keep it. An acre of English ground at Runnymede was given to the United States of America by the people of Britain in memory of John F. Kennedy, born 29 May 1917, President of the United States, 1961-63, died by an assassin's hand, 22 November 1963. There is an inscribed memorial stone. The Runnymede memorial commemorating the signing of the Magna Carta is nearby.

The tradition of the sovereign having a personal piper dates back to Queen Victoria. She was staying in Scotland in 1843 and, seeing that her host had his own personal piper, the Queen was taken with the idea. Most of the traditions of the British monarchy associated with Scottish culture date from Queen Victoria as she was the first monarch to visit Scotland regularly and have a residence there since the Union of the Crowns in 1603.

Love your reactions Tyler, all the best from Wales xx

Britain was formed by the integration of English and Scotish royal households, the pipes are loved and revered by the royal family, for the historical place they have in our history. Also, the queen has a house in Scotland were she retires to for peace and down time, were she isnt bothered by the locals and is given her space, she loves it there, Balmoral Castle,

[@martinsear5470]

Dude just be happy she no longer has a Groom of The Stool. Look it up, its not what you think 😉

A philattelist is a stamp collector (German: Briefmarkensammler). Of course I know what that means - classic general education. Never heard of the Red or Blue Mauritius, the most expensive stamps (Briefmarken) of all time? Never heard of the WPU (World Postal Union)? Never collected stamps as a kid because your uncle who was a philatelist himself gave you your first stamps and a collector's album as a headstart? And showed you HOW to collect them according to country, motive or form? Like planes, helicopters, ships, plants, animals, railways, triangular form, countries, territories, colonies, chronologically (German Empire of 1871, Weimar Republic, Third Reich, West Germany, East Germany, Germany after WWII) etc. I'm pretty sure you'll struggle with similar words like cryptozoologist, philantrope/misantrope, spelaeonaut, cosmonaut, taikonaut, oceanograph, ornithologist, numismatician, pathologist, graphologist, theologist, anthropologist, anthroposopher, meteorologist, geriatrist/geritrician, strategist, homoeopath, immunologist... There are countless ones like these out there and one should know at least some...

They keep an eye on the waterways and the numbers of swans,and they don't have that many staff either for just the Queen, nor does the Queen have someone wearing in her shoes, the person who makes her clothes might wear some of the new shoes a few years ago when the Queen would go on long tours, because they happen to have the same size feet, and quite a few of these jobs are not paid jobs such as lady in waiting etc, and others are just honorary positions

Bagpipes are cool. Check out The Snakecharmer Fusion: Enter Sandman/Shipping up to Boston.. with Bagpipes. They are cool. Yes, not for everybodies ear. There is a festival every Year with lots of Bagpipe Music and other Singers i guess. The Roya Military Tatoo and a Street Festival or something like that.

[@johnkean6852]

They have bagpipes in Scotland AND Cornwall England

STOP STOPPING THE VIDEO SO MUCH, PEOPLE WILL STOP WATCHING! And you google answers 1second before the video is gonna answer the question. Look at other reaction channels, they stop occasionally and explain their thoughts at the end and maybe ask questions they didn’t understand. You’re entertaining but talk/stop too much and because of that you miss crucial details and ask a question the video has answered 5 seconds previously. Just some vital criticism if you’re gonna succeed!

[@PELEGON1]

Absolutely. I was tempted to switch off in frustration with the stop start routine, when low-and-behold up came the answer to the question he paused for just a moment later! If only Tiler had the patience to carry on, the presentation would have run smoother. His saving grace is his charming personality, self deprecation and humor. Also, to me a Brit, his comparison with aspects of American life is reveling and fun. I will persevere with his frustrating stop start and monologue’s for things I did not know myself about my own country. Great smile and twinkly eyes make him natural presenter.

[@kevsh4997]

Please do a reaction video to "What Powers Does Queen Elizabeth II Actually Have". Please ❤️❤️❤️

[@frankparsons1629]

It in fact goes back many centuries when the nobility ate swan meat (I think also the monasteries did so in medieval times), they certainly didn't want any odd bod sneaking in over the wall and nicking one of their swans that they raised and fed for many years. Bit like stealing a farmers cow, and in the same way as the farmer who had a herdsman the king (or queen) had a chappie who was responsible for them.

[@heatherfreeling2090]

If you think about all the hours on her feet or walking, she also takes care of her wardrobe.

[@tersse]

These jobs, like the master of watermen, are ceremonial, its a way for the queen to fullfill a promis, of a past queen or king, to support a familly that did a service to the crown, like save a past kings life in battle, or some such similar service, and they gave a promis in perpetuity to make sure that familly allways got royal support. you were surprised by life peer, and hereditary peer, a life peer is some one given life peerage to the house of lords, like the supream court in america, but a hereditary peer, is some one who's family was granted peerage, from a king in the past, and when the peer dies, his heir inherits the peerage, old ways die hard, or never :)

[@lindylou7853]

The Master of Horse isn’t in charge of anything much. There’s the day to day and then there’s the nominal occasion overseeing ceremonial role.

[@candyclews4047]

Be thankful Tyler, that the Monarch no longer has a whipping boy! This was a boy educated alongside a prince (or boy monarch). The prince was not 'whipped' himself because of his royal status. We're just left now with the expression, thank goodness. On the subject of the Queen's shoes, her dresser Angela Kelly usually breaks them in for her because they have the same size feet and you're right, it's not her sole job! Her job is huge and involves all aspects of what the Queen wears. In her book, Angela reveals she was the person responsible for the Queen now wearing bright, bright colours (so she can be easily seen by the crowds).

[@tersse]

The queen cant aford to get blisters with new shoes, if she has 4 nations to visit in 2 months, just imagin, the queen visits your country, but cant walk because she has blisters, just cant be done. :) but yes your a very smart guy, it's not one job, these people have their own life and do this for the queen at request.

[@asacraig9876]

Regarding the swans, if a swan wanders onto the railway line, all trains have to come to halt until the swan can be moves just in case it's one of the queen's swans.

[@gillianlawrence2684]

Yes thequeen has someone who wears her shoes to make them more comfy. She has a dresser pwho chooses her outfits that look so good. The lady is a fave companion of the queen her name is Angela Kelly. Who is from Liverpool. Angela. Also is the pne who tpld. Mrgan that she cpuldnt have the tiara for her wedding to Harry, as it has a protocol..

[@travisgrant5608]

Just stop and think for a moment ... just how many people it must take to clean the palaces and castles on a daily basis! Hundreds!!!

[@Michael-yq2ut]
