Charming vintage documentary, on our lovely and much-missed Queen Mum. She had the most glorious final act to her long life, busier and more popular than ever as the dowager Queen. What a treat to see the late and also lamented Danny La Rue! I fear humanity has regressed since 1982, in many fundamental ways. Even the innocence of the children we see here is hard to find today. Thank you for sharing!

She was a dutiful Queen Consort, but the truth is she was a relict of her time. She was cold and very racist. Her racism was pretty well documented. Not surprised by it. She was born in 1900. Of course Charles loved his grandmother dearly. She was more of a mother to him than his own mother. He looked up to his grandmother.

She said it herself, "I am not as nice as people think I am." When one realizes that Prince Philip's mother was hiding Jews from their Nazi persecutors placing her own life in peril, while the Queen Mother was living in resentment, one does get something of the contrast between how these two women dealt with pain and adversity. Princess Alice transformed herself into an angel of mercy, while the Queen Mother remained trapped in deep bitterness at what life had dealt her. The Queen Mother never could get over the fact that she was thrust into her role because of her undutiful brother-in-law and his disreputable American wife. She was stuck in her resentment. And there she remained. She traded on her sweet smile. But it was fake and she was largely a phoney. "I am not as nice as people think I am." Her image was fabricated by the media and royal syncophants.

I have read that Elizabeth Bowes Lyon had set her cap for David, Prince of Wales. Bertie proposed twice and kept getting turned down, because Elizabeth thought she could snag David. Finally Queen Mary herself paid a visit and advised the young lady that Duchess of York was the best she could hope for and she would do well to accept Bertie the next time. She did. She blamed the stress of the monarchy for killing her husband prematurely, but it’s my impression that she very much relished being the Queen consort for 17 years, and if she was bitter, it was over having to relinquish the throne in favor of her 25-year-old daughter.

@@CanadianMonarchist Which part? That Elizabeth didn’t actually hope David would ask her instead? David was categorically not interested. Or that she turned Bertie down twice before finally accepting him the third time? Or that QM intervened on her second son’s behalf? That last part does seem a bit fantastical, as it does not seem like something QM would have condescended to do. The youngest daughter of a Scottish lord who was rumored to not be his legitimate child wasn’t deemed high station enough to be a bride for the Prince of Wales, not that he found her at all appealing, but his brother was besotted with her, and being rebuffed twice had made Bertie very depressed. He was shy and diffident, not glamorous like David, but Elizabeth was finally persuaded somehow that she could not expect a better offer of marriage than the second in line to the throne. Perhaps she came to this conclusion without any outside influence. I’ve read a number of biographies of Queen Mum and I couldn’t say which of these contain this anecdote, but Is expect friends of hers to deny it, as it does not depict her in the most favorable light. Romance is not the primary reason the nobility get married, but if she didn’t love her husband as much as he loved her in the beginning, she became the wife, and the Queen, that he needed. Losing him and the power and deference that went with being Queen while she was still a relatively young woman must have been hard, but I think she enjoyed the rest of her very long life. Bertie wrote to his speech coach Lionel Logue from his honeymoon, and confided, “I was very good.” Elizabeth had the gift for giving her shy husband confidence, so in that respect, she was the right partner for him.
