ROYAL: Queen Mary's 80th birthday (1947)

[@AnnaJo2000]

What I love is her royal family wave. Very different and elaborate. 😁

[@wruszka]

you should check out the wave that Alice, the Duchess of Gloucester did on her wedding day's appearance at the balcony lol these royal women were built different

[@Liamf986]

They wave like that so they’re arm doesn’t ache sometimes times they can be waving for hours

[@seraby7151]

Queen Mary was built like a wall. Queen Elizabeth shrunk when she got old but Queen Mary was still big and tall even in her 80s.

[@anyaw340]

No, it was just that Queen Mary was always tall and Queen Elizabeth was always short. Mary was 5'7", while Elizabeth was only 5'4". Also, Mary was quite a bit more overweight than Elizabeth was, so that makes Elizabeth appear even smaller in comparison.

[@somolmartin4618]

Queen Mary had the victorian mannerism of a time when ladies, weather standing or sitting, should never slouch. Thats why she always stood upright when she presents herself, even when she was in her old age.❤

[@somolmartin4618]

...observer any photos of her.

[@Princess-je4tf]

OMG right she's so damn tall

[@manuelarita6801]

The formidable Queen Mary. The essence of respectability..

Mary of Harewood in her later years looked like Queen Elizabeth

[@robertb4000]

Yeah, they look the same, but their height wasn't, Mary was 5'7ft when she was 80, but for Elizabeth she was 5'5 when she was 80

[@CallemJayNZ]

"We want Queen Mary" Heck there looks to be more people there to celebrate the Dowager Queens birthday than there were at the coronation

That queen wave … “yes, my subjects”

[@lsmith9249]

she had only been a Queen Consort and by this time she was a Dowager Queen but the royal family had the same wave

[@soniafumes5116]

Que linda a rainha Mary. Até com essa idade mostrava toda sua beleza. Acho fascinante a realeza britânica, seus membros souberam conduzir e deixar vivos até hoje esse glamour. Salve a Rainha Elizabeth

[@zukosmom3780]

She really loved Elizabeth and you can see that in the video ❤

[@karenkratzer7036]

Her grandchildren, William, Michael and Richard. You can see The Queen, Princess Alexandra and Margaret. Her two sons King George and his brother Henry.

[@ebojfmdboojoh4023]

Do you mean Princess Alexandra as in Lady Ogilvy. She was born in 1936. This was in 1947 which means she would have been 11 years old. The child in this footage is clearly younger than 11. I think it may be Richard duke of Gloucester

[@dottygirl6973]

Queen Mary grabbed a girls hand 1:38 as she was leaving the balcony...I am thinking it was prince Margaret

[@vaishnavikonidena1532]

@@dottygirl6973 no princess Margret was 17 at that time this girl looks like she is 12 there is no way a 17 year old would look like that

[@janetwilcock2120]

@@ebojfmdboojoh4023When they came out on the balcony Princess Alexandra stood next to her Grandmother before moving across to stand with her cousin Princess Elizabeth.

[@marytv9362]

I didn't think the Queen Mary was so loved! 😍

[@ebojfmdboojoh4023]

I was trying to work out who this was. It must have been Mary of Teck, the wife of King George V

[@dottygirl6973]

Correct

[@Michael-fv8lg]

Is that Princess Alexandra that Queen Mary holds on to as she leaves the balcony?

[@maladjustedmusician]

I believe so! There’s actually a really nice photo on the royal collection trust website of Queen Mary with Princess Marina and her children, and Princess Alexandra is hooked around her arm much the same way

[@ebojfmdboojoh4023]

Probably not. She was born in 1936 which would make her 11 at the time. Clearly this child is younger than 11

[@Michael-fv8lg]

@@ebojfmdboojoh4023 I disagree, I think she looks about 10 which is the age Princess Alexandra would be at that point in 1936.

[@ebojfmdboojoh4023]

@@Michael-fv8lg No way is that Child 10 or 11. The child is about 5 or 6 at most.

[@Michael-fv8lg]

@@ebojfmdboojoh4023 well, I can’t think of any other grandchildren of that age that it could be, and she looks like Alexandra to me, so we will have to agree to disagree.

She 1st cousin once removed for queen Victoria and the same generation of King Edward VII

[@DukeofDarkCorners]

Prince William of Gloucester (age 6) and Prince Michael of Kent (age 5).

Q marry is stock and huge for her time, elizabeth was shorter than her quite a bit,

[@SR-iy4gg]

She was 5'7". Queen Elizabeth was only 5'2" and the current queen was 5'4" in her prime.
