Nelson Mandela Makes the Queen Laugh with Unusual Greeting (2003)

[@kobusvanstaden3747]

Her Majesty simply never missed the tiniest of details. Her stepping forward to shake her blind guests' hand was so telling of her grace. She will forever be missed 😢❤

true majesty shows compassion. 😍

@@tulinfirenze1990 indeed. So sad. Her place will forever be empty, but she will live in our hearts. I am South African but she made me feel British. Such was her global appeal. RIP

Still mourning the deaths of QEII and the Duke of Edinburgh.

I loved both of them.. ❤ ~k~

I know. It almost hurts to watch these videos, but I'm grateful they exist.

[@Diamondmine212]

She was found of Nelson and didnt mind AT ALL that he would call her Elizabeth.♥️

[@sammansfield21]

3 great inspirational people there. RIP Queen Elizabeth, Duke of Edinburgh and Nelson Mandela ❤

[@gherbie3412]

I remember reading that they are the only two people who he called her Elizabeth she called him nelson.. For some reason they were smitten with each other

[@udeeko]

He was the closest head of state to her during her long reign. They were very comfortable with each other and there existed a deep mutual respect.

[@ndodamakayi5220]

​​@@udeekoHe was the closest to her? No one comes close to Madiba for his indomitable spirit for giving his life to free people that suffered an evil racist doctrine that lasted for many decades. sleeping in a small cell in cement for for close to 27 years. Nelson Mandela suffered pain of not seeing his family and children for over a decade while he was banned from public visitation. Really incomparable figure in history of politics.

[@udeeko]

@ndodamakayi5220 : You misunderstood my post. I basically meant that Mandela was her closest friend amongst fellow heads of state. If you read the whole post that's exactly what I meant.

[@carolinacimador2360]

Such an emotional meeting ❤️💞💕 and full of Joy! My eyes cry with emotion 🤗👑🌹

Excelente reunion Con Nelson Mandela y los reyes

[@johnnicholls5344]

Rhodes and Mandela... That's a connection I wouldn't think to make, I wouldn't want to make, but the reality is that there is a connection.

[@kimberlyholt2241]

I'd like to have a dollar for every handshake the Queen has given! 🤗🥰 🤝

[@SarahDJOLOBELE]

She was stuning so beautyful my God rest your soul ma'am

[@mukunimulundika5359]

Beautiful

Why does the Queen seem to stare at a few people after they have gone past? I got the impression that sometimes she was trying to recall where she had seen them before. One young man she looks up and down at after he has gone past, like she was checking out his suit and shoes. Amazing and fascinating footage.

[@Italiantechsupport]

He wear a Indonesian traditional shirts, named "batik" ❤

[@vishy]

Pre internet days, when we weren’t all high as a kite on dopamine

[@theoisaac9948]

💯

[@apparency]

Telling someone they keep looking younger is one of the least "unusual" ways of greeting someone you know and like. This is yet another ridiculous title, aimed at getting the view count up. Thanks for the upload, though. It's lovely.

[@peggybushman711]

It's an unusual way to greet the Queen, in that personal or personal-sounding remarks are not said.

[@rlbs]

I wonder why the late Madiba always wore batik shirts... by the way HMQ looked spectacular in red ❤

[@RK-zo9vs]

It definitely made him stand out, as these shirts were not commonly worn in South Africa and became known in South Africa as Madiba shirts.

[@a.t.c.3862]

"Mmmmm. Yes. Oh really?" Lizzie didn't have much in the conversation department, did she?

[@Sotto_]

She had more of interest to say than you, obviously.

[@jillosler9353]

That's because she didn't make it all about her!

[@P.B0209]

A fucking killer

[@TinkerTailor4303]

I was taught not to shake hands with your gloves on. But I guess it's different if you're Queen (no, not THAT Queen!).

[@xhogun8578]

It's etiquette for men to remove their gloves, but not required for women.

[@carolmcknight7092]

How totally disrespectful can you be towards our amazing and wonderful tremendous Queen Elizabeth II You obviously need to do a lot of research on the protocol of Queen Elizabeth II and her amazing husband HRH Prince Philip and the rest of our wonderful and inspirational British Royal Family.

[@janel342]

Oh get over yourself really.

[@Sotto_]

Has the pandemic taught you nothing? Do you have any idea how many hands Her Majesty held in her lifetime? Just look at this clip for one small reception. Gloves are not only proper, but extremely practical. They keep everyones hands clean and offer support for her hands. They should bring them back into vogue.

[@ndodamakayi5220]

This is the reason Princess Dianna remains the greatest figure of the Royal family. She went on to hospitals and shook people with HIV with bare hand even though advised otherwise by the royal family.

[@mrspanky369]

is the same guy who blew up a coffee shop and killed innocent people?

[@token1371]

Special people forget apartheid in S.A. was legal and ignored by The Queen. Mandela signed of on a bombing in response to the Sharpeville Massacre, during which police opened fire on a crowd of anti-apartheid marchers, killing 69 people and wounding 186 others. Of course, no policemen were charged.

[@VirgoCatleesi]

Innocent? Anyone that participated in and benefitted from the evils of Apartheid are NOT innocent.
