About the name of Britain, I'm not sure it's named after Britannia (and I can't find any solid reference to Britannia being an original Roman Godess, but was a later creation to personify their new Roman Province, and was then enhanced more as creation of later british people to personify the Island. Certainly named after the island though, not visa versa). It's actually a Celtic word, originally it would have been Pritani, which the greeks heard as Prittenike. The Romans in turn heard Brittenike, or simply Britainnia.

Your pronunciations are fantastic, thank you for making the effort. I know that some of them are a bit tricky for Americans, but you nailed it.

I'm from the UK and I've been watching for a while. Just discovered you've helpfully organised all your videos by country so now I'm watching all the UK ones 😅 I also just thought - the "tonight..." in your "Good evening and welcome. Tonight..." intro reminds me so strongly of Cate Blanchett's delivery of the line "Tonight you will sleep in peace" as Galadriel in Fellowship of the Ring. Seems fitting 😊

Great video, just one thing....the first picture you pointed out is in fact a Queen's guard, now Kings Guard. Beefeaters have a different uniform and are stationed at The Tower of London.

Interesting fact about Becket - the very end of Canterbury Cathedral, a beautiful small chapel with some amazing windows is called the "Corona". It has nothing to do with the lovely sun rays it can produce, it's quite simply latin for "Crown" - as in the Crown (top of the head) of Becket that was cut off by a Knight's sword and supposedly rolled and rested in this part of the Cathedral.

Ok. Welp. The second I heard the JK Rowling remark I decided that if your going to insert your politics into history and decide what you want to talk about and what you don't.....then I would assert my own.....and go somewhere else.
