King George V & Queen Mary

[@davidpaget5250]

I clearly remember being taken by my grandmother to the main gates at Lords with our Union Flags and wave to Queen Mary as she came out and she never failed to wave back and give us a lovely smile.

[@ADreamML]

Wow that's Amazing David, thank you for sharing that on here with me and those who have liked my film

[@mariaevans7811]

How wonderful!!! 🐩🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@kylehollie]

What an incredible memory / experience.

[@suzannewebb7913]

I can see princess Ann looks like her

[@rameshsingh2480]

You are lucky enough to witness the history .

[@SymphonyBrahms]

King George V once told his son David, later Edward VIII, "Don't stand around drinking cocktails like a wet weekend!" He also said, "I hope that Bertie can be king. I don't want Lillabet to miss her chance to be queen!" And he said about David, "When I am gone the boy will ruin himself in twelve months". He was right about that!

[@kylasaundersmiller2286]

Her resemblance to the present day queen is amazing.

[@zoedark7101]

I think Edwards daughter today looks like Mary.

[@e.e.harrison1357]

Yes, and I think the Queen inherited Queen Mary's temperament as well. Steady and well-grounded. What do you think?

[@e.e.harrison1357]

@@zoedark7101 I agree, thank you for mentioning this. Great observation. And little Princess Charlette too!

[@suzannewebb7913]

Look at princess Ann and Queen Mary

[@roryboytube]

My father , then a young Brittish Soldier, sang in a choir for Queen Mary and she remarked "you have a very good voice young man". Very proud he was.

[@Frances6889]

[@ZioniteTeen]

@@Frances6889 yes paternal grandmother

[@Jaseph2]

You did a superb job putting this together. The remark about Queen Elizabeth calling King George “Grandpa England” is a heart warming touch.

[@brendapowell4795]

I see a strong likeness in our Queen Elizabeth 11 to her grandmother Queen Mary.

[@njohnston1224]

A lovely film .her late Majesty looks so like her grandmother queen Mary.

[@mchapman132]

George V was a very handsome man. Queen Mary’s features still dominate the members of the RF. Her son George VI looked like her and Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret took after him. Even Princess Anne strongly looks like Queen Mary.

[@thomlin8812]

Thank you....I enjoyed the photos and the narrated history. This family has stood on the world's stage for so many years, and I believe it can be said that many of us know more about them than we are able to know about our own family history. Thank you, again, for this short film, and the Vaughan Williams: Five Variant performed by 'The New Queen's Hall Orchestra; wonderfully done!

[@nadmiet7733]

King George looks so much like his cousine Czar of Russia Romanov

[@tsbonner]

Yes, and very handsome!

[@bonniesaxe9460]

Compare the pictures as a boy to those of his son Edward VIII

[@trishabidesi8604]

Also the current Prince Micheal of Kent, the Kings Grand Son.

[@maryhlad5277]

HM King George V also looked like his cousin, Kaiser Wilhelm.

[@nikodimser8225]

Almost like twins

[@queenbodicea]

Beautiful video. How fleeting one's life is from infancy to old age. When you see it captured in photos and film, it sometimes makes you feel sad, esp when your beloved dies.

[@sharyndoyle6362]

Our Queen looks so much like Queen Mary in many of the Photos when she was younger. The resemblance is striking to me.

[@christinesforza8600]

A lovely tribute to a beloved royal family, who have had the very good fortune of good leadership in the modern era and an ever-warming association with the general public, who, it seems, can't get enough of them. Very nicely done. Thank you.

[@Magnetron33]

This is great! Until I saw your pics of Queen Mary, I never realized what a powerful resemblance Queen Elizabeth has to her GrandMother. Very Nicely Put Together 2

[@maryannfelice6326]

Beautiful pictorial and script. It was especially meaningful to hear nicknames family members gave to one another like "Grandpa England". It demonstrates the emotional side of The Royal Family. Sometimes we forget they are just humans living a demanding world of service and self-sacrifice (when they hold their role in esteem as their subjects do).

[@joanmarshall6861]

Queen Mary, what a great Lady, we were very lucky to have her. No one worse jewels like Queen Mary, no one before or since could carry the load as she did. They were a very handsome couple, made us Brits feel very proud, but also very secure. My darling old grandfather had the look of the old king!

[@ascenbach1]

Your choices in music perfectly convey the elegiac tone of your videos for past elegance and grace.

I believe it is "Five Variants of Dives and Lazarus" by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

QE2 and Queen Mary share a striking resemblance as they got older.

[@xbqchm]

If you think QE2 resembles her grandmother, check out her aunt: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary,_Princess_Royal_and_Countess_of_Harewood

[@StevenTorrey]

The word "regal" was made for May Teck...

[@ADreamML]

It certainly was Steven, I think in later life she was more regal than the rest of the royals lol

[@robertstruder4434]

I appreciate the informal but absolutely correct historical use of "May Teck" to refer to Her Majesty's grandmother, Queen Mary. Thank you, Mr. Steven Torrey.

[@MDenis12]

Excellent portrayal of the Royal Household, highlighting HRM Queen Mary, and the music was exquisitely chosen and edited.

[@helensieben3182]

George &Mary were deeply in love but they were too shy to tell each other , so they wrote notes to each other telling the other how wonderful they were.

[@goodvibes4269]

Prince Micheal of Kent looks a lot like his grandfather.

[@ADreamML]

The piece of music used on this video is - Vaugh Williams -Lazarus

[@noelt8895]

"Five variants of Dives and Lazarus" composed in 1939. Perfectly chosen.

[@sandrablanchette2239]

The music is beautiful. Always loved Vaugn Williams. And Copland

+Dixie thank you kindly :-)

[@Paulanthony01]

An absolutely beautiful tribute. Thank you so much for creating this video.

[@gennarojg3]

A very fitting tribute. My grandmother liked T. M. King Edward VII & Queen Alexandra, but T. M. King George V & Queen Mary were the reigning monarchs when she married my grandfather 02 March 1923, a wee bit before T. M. King George VI & Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. She loved the H. M. Queen Elizabeth II's great grandparents, grandparents and parents. Both of my grandparents did as did my mum's parents, but they felt betrayed by the former King Edward VIII, who had no respect for himself, his parents, siblings and nation when he selfishly abdicated to marry the Duchess of Windsor. My great grandparents & 3 of my 4 grandparents were born during H. M. Queen Victoria's reign. Papa's mum was born when H. M. King Edward VII was on the throne barely 2 weeks. So far H. M. King Charles III & Queen Camilla are doing a splendid job, although my heart us still deeply mourning H. M. Queen Elizabeth II. May She Rest In Peace! God Save The King!

[@ADreamML]

Thank you for your lovely comments. I know a lot of people think the Edward and Wallis relationship was this big love story. But because of his decesion and behaviour , the crown went to King George VI and it clearly stressed his life out to an early death. He knew Waliis could never be Queen and just like Harry actually, I think he wanted out, but on his terms and if you want out, then you can't expect to retain all the trappings of being a member of the Royal family. When it was pointed out, in detail, to Princess Margaret that if she wanted to leave to have a relationship with one of her love interests, then she would have to give up so much. When she realised that she could not leave the instituation and keep all the graces that went with it, she chose to stay, she didn't even have to think about it. At the end of the day I am glad Edward abdicated because Queen Elizabeth IIs father was a surperb King. Even in abdication Edward and Wallis behaviour was deplorable proving that they were not fit for the job.

Fascinating slice of history. Being from the U.S. I always found the royal bloodline a bit confusing, but thanks to your wonderful video I can put faces to names I only read about. I couldn't believe how much King George and Tsar Nicholas resembled each other; they could have easily passed for brothers.

[@SymphonyBrahms]

They were cousins.

[@Anglo-Saxon9]

He was also Cousins with Kaiser Wilhelm.

[@rameshsingh2480]

They are cousins . The mother of king George and the mother of Tsar Nicholas are sisters so they look like twin brothers.

[@anyaw340]

@@Anglo-Saxon9 Yes, all of the royals back then were cousins due to Victoria's plotting and matchmaking. Even Elizabeth II and her husband, Phillip, are cousins. Their great grandparents were siblings - both children of Queen Victoria. Elizabeth's great grandfather Edward VII was the brother of Philip's great grandmother, Princess Alice.

I would like to read more about King George V to understand what drove the ultimate decision to not accept the Tsar Nicholas II and family entry into England (they looked like twins). Also I heard (but have no knowledge of) his parenting style. I heard he was beyond harsh and strict and this led to Bertie's fear and speech impediment.

King George V lived half his life in the 19th century and half in the 20th century. He lived to 70 not bad for back then. He cared better than his son. King George VI only 56. If he lived as long as his brother, he would have been king another twenty years.
