Queen - Honours - Royal Family at work

Unique behind the scene's insight into the Queen's Birthday Honours

[@deldee]

She has such a comforting smile.

[@mscott3918]

She does, and unlike so called celebrities, it's genuine, as is her interest in the people who attend.

[@BigPinkJohn]

Not seen this clip before. Lovely to see behind the scenes of the service and the medal stocks. I have always been fascinated by the awards and investitures system.

[@GraemeMurphy]

Thanks Rupert for posting this on the very day that my wife received her MBE from Her Majesty, The Queen. Thanks go to all the staff at Buckingham Palace who are the most helpful and professional people I have ever met in any "walk of life". The funniest moment of the day, for me, was when I was asked to take a family photograph of the Beckwith family by Tamara herself! I did not have a clue who she was!!! Graeme.

[@chrisfisher5960]

Worked in a supermarket for 5 years. Only 3 out of 22 managers spoke to me. When I left, I commented to a colleague that I have had longer conversations with the Queen than with most of management. When did you meet the Queen.? they asked.. If only you had spoken to me , you would have found out all sorts of things about me! Now, good bye. Never went to that supermarket again.

[@schafer18]

22 managers???

[@dmab631995]

I think this is amazing. It's a great way to honor those that have done extraordinary things or for their service to Country. I thought that was so sweet the man with the sheep that had tears in his eyes while he was speaking to the Queen and after when he was speaking to the cameraman. Shows you that the people still value the Monarchy and love their Queen.

John 5:44 41I receive not honour from men. 42But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 43I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 44How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? 45Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

[@christophestevenson1448]

The Honours system is a great way to say "thank you" to many deserving women and men. Orders, decorations and medals are not just for members of the Armed Forces, though they are rightly also deserving of recognition for their service. I believe that it is important for citizens of Commonwealth Realms to understand their country's honours system so that, when one knows of a person deserving of recognition, that one may forward the nomination.

[@edmondcheval5526]

Long LIVE THE QUEEN and May God the Father Bless you with strength and Good health

[@TonyJetonSelimi]

Incredible and inspiring.

[@WillBlindYouWithLight]

Makes me really really really want to move there and get one of each. Thank you for sharing!!❤❤❤

[@peterfrost8559]

Thankyou for remembering.

Jeremy Bagwell Purefoy was brilliant. He was abundantly enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Jeremy will be sorely missed.

I would so enjoy meeting Her Majesty.

[@lordnikmasonesqnikolasmunjasba]

...RESPECT

[@RupertJones]

Hi Graeme - Your welcome. You could tell by the emotion in the gentleman's voice at the end, that it meant a very lot to him to get his MBE, as I'm sure it did to your wife.

[@gregorymartin6488]

In her later years, Queen Victoria had difficulty handling the large and heavy sword to invest the Knights so a replica was made in Aluminum which was identical to a real sword but much lighter...

[@JosephBeaver]

Very Interesting

[@fayjones53]

Joseph Beaver my father got the MBE

[@Lupinthe3rd.]

Does anyone think The clerk secretly when no one is around goes down there and pretends he is being given an honor and wears them for a minutes and parades around i would not be suprised if a few people do that or have done that

[@lsmith9249]

he's not a clerk and the staff are presented with long service medals and our Monarchs make them members of the royal victorian order

[@rulebritannia1]

well they are hardly a threat and they are a testament to the fact that monarchy does not in anyway inpinge our right to freedom and politics

[@najmahussain7015]

I would love to meet the Queen

[@robnewman6101]

[@GraemeMurphy]

As a Senior Moderator in a UK forum I can now declare that these comments are now so off track that if I had the ability to lock the posts they would have been locked off 4 weeks ago. These comments are supposed to be pertinent to the video clip on show not a debate on the British Monarchy. Take your unwelcome comments and negativity elsewhere please. Graeme.

[@lsmith9249]

these comments are true, birthday and news years honours are awarded by the honours committee who are in the cabinet office royal honours are in the gift of the monarch

[@audreyb8903]

❤️👍

[@_Super_Hans_]

How do I get one of these then your majesty

[@Jonesykins]

Do something that contributes greatly to society.

[@lsmith9249]

@_Super_Hans_ if you're British and do good works for the country. someone will nominate you and the honours committee who are in the cabinet office will investigate you and decide

[@princenicholasherrman2347]

10:06 AM 1/15/2021 I know its like how do you get recognized by the Queen or knighted? I would love to meet the Queen of England too in person drinking tea. Its the conversation we would be having in person that would probably bother everyone. Sometimes I wonder if Im good enough to be a knight (high ranking officer like advisor?) in Govt. Small world yeah?

[@lsmith9249]

you wouldn't be nominated and a knight isn't high ranking

[@Andaer11]

How is a Dame-Commander worn , is it a Star on a bow or I'm confused ??

[@Robert-sz4mj]

A star and a bow I believe

[@reichtangle7734]

@@Robert-sz4mj Yes it’s the equivalent to the KBE like he mentioned early in the vid. It’s awarded with the bow and star.

[@geoffmacey8728]

Will the queen go using husbands sword, from now on. Just a thought.

[@amaronoronha172]

I wish I get a chance

[@rulebritannia1]

in the news world of papers the majority view is expresed, they pander to their readers views, the press has never been about free speech just selling more copies.

I really want to work for theme when I get older

[@mscott3918]

I did, for 30 years. Jobs in the Royal Household are advertised on the Royal website. Good luck. It's a nice place to work and there is a lot to learn.

well seeing as they pay for they can do what they want they give lots to charities and support to the devolping nations its not the rich of the west that are to blame it is the leaders of the poor that are one of the worst bunch of people, their are pleanty of rich people with planes private islands the fact that ours serve a real purpose shows they are very different

[@channtelle1000]

hes a MBE

[@Boccherini64]

This is true, thats why i tend to read the independent if any. Papers just express their own opinions, and they dont inform, which is a great shame

Giving away more dust collectors? WOW HARD WORK! PHEW, NEED A VACAY AFTER THAT GRUELING LABOR

[@esclarmonde1023]

You seem to treat these awards which will be given to someone deserving with a very casual and almost dismissive attitude.

[@amadeusmadis]

Hes a professional, dont worry.

[@rulebritannia1]

you realy do show your ignorance, at her age she has to talk and debate national policy and other matters of state, the amount of work she does cannot be put in a comment box of 500 characters and she is not a parasite if you knew anything you would know that she actualy cost this nation nothing

[@artmanack]

You're quite entitled to your point of view but why you have to express it in such an offensive way is a puzzle. Your comments reveal far more of the kind of person you are than ever they say about the Queen.

[@hiddenassassin3233]

Steven Gerrard is such a legend

[@mightywindmill102]

What are the benefits of having a republic in the UK now? The Monarchy is merely a figurehead (a very important role though) and has little to no political influence. They do not cost the public much. Why bother fixing what ain't broke?

[@MrAviron]

'no political influence' WRONG. 'They do not cost the public much' WRONG.

[@rulebritannia1]

please point out the rubbish

[@GraemeMurphy]

Funny, I thought that voting was democratic. Boccherini64 - I and many others are laughing at you and your comments it seems. If you have come in here to change our views then take it from me that it is not working. Why not grab a soapbox and have an afternoon in Hyde Park and you can spout off all day and be ridiculed "live". Have a right Royal day, Graeme.

[@rulebritannia1]

what you wrote means nothing it does not point out what is so rubbish about the truth i speak

[@safarigurl150]

The medals lose their charm (and dignity) being stored in a storeroom basement with gray file cabinets and treated like store storage room items. fail

[@christophestevenson1448]

The orders and decoration shown are stored in a palace ... in the storeroom for these honours. The dignity of an honours system is with the people being decorated, not in the yearly storage of the insignias.

[@Bellg]

lots of republicans here... not good

[@shirleystaines8310]

Stop that crappy people, do your history 🇬🇧

[@DianeCooperTW]

Oh yeah some real "work" done by thesw people

[@Hudpix16]

And what is that role? Wave her hand and speak like if she were God Almighty? She does nothing, nor does her husband or the whole family. This is 2008 not the 1700s. No country in the world needs an idiot who stays in the power forever and worst of all,passes it on to his family. She may be in her 80s now but all her life she's worn awful dresses. Those hats and gloves, what a stinker. So, no, not everyone loves this woman. No wonder she doesn't retire. Retire from what??

[@Boccherini64]

I have no problem with someone being honoured, i however have a problem with the honours system in general, particularly an unelected head of state handing out the said honours and the fact that many of the honours are handed out by the government to their cronies and lackeys!

[@Boccherini64]

I'm not socialist! I'm just against deferential creeps!

[@Boccherini64]

Typical sad bunch of monarchists, stop free expression by silencing critics. in this case, putting as many "thumbs down" as possibly as quickly as possible. Speaks volumes for you lot i'm afraid!

[@dertuner1025]

Are you serious? It looks more like a carneval costume event......there are millions of people on this earth who has nothing to eat and these group of people celebrate there owns ..... where is gone the heart of this people?????

[@Boccherini64]

Why it is that Monarchist are so uncomfortable with free speech and open debate when it comes to the royals?

[@Boccherini64]

Not critical enough. 2 papers aren't biased, namely the Guardian and Independent. When there is anything on the radio and tv about the royals do you hear the republican view? nit good in a democracy.

[@Boccherini64]

Oh I'm arrogant, that's rich!! You have the arrogance to assume that I don't have the right to my views. Power statement is rubbish, i think you need to go and read about the royal prerogative, gives the prime minister of the day the right to send troops to war without consulting parliament, not even the US president has such a power. Hitler argument is childish, are you saying the US or france have problems? The US is much more democratic than we are.

[@Boccherini64]

Oh dear! typical royalist response!

[@Boccherini64]

You monarchist supporters are so sad!!! Just because i argue against the monarchy i receive loads of negative ratings and when i answer one of your criticisms with facts no one replies they just put a minus. Show the strength of you argument I guess, NOT! Sad and deferential!
