1
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: Sable Advice Shot. Hello, Hello, welcome to the Naughty but

2
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: Nice Show. I'm your host, Rob Shooter. It's Friday. Normally

3
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: on Friday, O dearie friend Corey Andrew joins us. But

4
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: today we're gonna do things a little different. We're going

5
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: to have a entire show a dedicated to Queen Elizabeth.

6
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: The second It's just gonna be Me and You Naughty

7
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: is talking about Queen Elizabeth. Obviously, lots and lots of news,

8
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: but I wanted to spend the next fifteen twenty minutes

9
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: going through some really interesting, unusual, fantastic facts about this

10
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: incredible human being. Today, I want to celebrate her, talk

11
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: about some of the most amazing things in her live. Really,

12
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: we spend a moment just enjoying this fantastic life. So

13
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: you might not know this, but Queen Elizabeth was not

14
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: born heir apparent to the throne. For the first ten

15
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: years of her life, Princess Elizabeth was a relatively minor royal.

16
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: Think of the status today of Princess Eugenie. That's basically

17
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: the life that Queen Elizabeth thought she was going to have.

18
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: She never ever thought she was going to be queen

19
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: and when her father's brother. Her uncle abdicated. That's when

20
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: everything changed. So they did not know that was going

21
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: to happen when she was born. And she wasn't born

22
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: in a palace. In fact, she was born in a

23
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: London town house. So instead of Buckingham Palace or one

24
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: of the great castles, she was born in a very

25
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: fancy neighborhood. She still was a princess. She was born

26
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: in Mayfair and the house that she was warning has

27
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: since been demolished. It was demolished in ninety seven. It's

28
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: now there's a Chinese restaurant on the location, the site

29
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: of where her birthplace was. Once again, this proves that

30
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: they did not know. She did not know that she

31
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: was going to have this extraordinary, this extraordinary life. Noess

32
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: she al was k near. She was a princess, don't

33
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: take that away from her, But she did not think

34
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: she was going to be the queen. When she was little,

35
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: her younger sister, Margaret, gave her the nickname that Lilibit

36
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: was her nickname because Margaret had trouble pronouncing Elizabeth Elizabeth.

37
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: That's a difficult name for a young child. Now at

38
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: the time, Princess Elizabeth. She called her sister Margot, and

39
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: that name stuck for the rest of their lives. They

40
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: didn't go to school, so Elizabeth and Margaret they were

41
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: shooted by very fancy teachers that came over to their

42
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: house from Eaton College, which at the time was boys only.

43
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: Still can you imagine boys only? And get this. She

44
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: learned about religion from the Archbishop of Canterbury, so once

45
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: again they didn't go to school. They were tutored at home.

46
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: She joined the British Women's Branch of the Army during

47
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: World War Two. She really wanted to be of service

48
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 1: and a lot of people left London they were out

49
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: in London. No, Princess Elizabeth stayed in London and actually

50
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: worked for the army and get a flat tire on

51
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: the motorway the highway. You aren't Queen Elizabeth City next

52
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: to you, because she could change that tire. Elizabeth and

53
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: her husband had known each other since childhood. Philip first

54
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: met Elizabeth when she was only eight years old. He

55
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: was fourteen. You know, both attended the wedding of Princess

56
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: Marina of Greece and Prince George. That's another of her

57
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: uncle's so they both attended this wedding. That's when they

58
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: first met each other. Now, this is where it gets

59
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: a little bit a little bit on. Philip is actually

60
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: her cousin, So Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth a third cousins.

61
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: They both share the same great great grandparents, who are

62
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: Queen Victoria and Prince Elbert. Can you imagine Queen Victoria

63
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: and Prince Albert. Now, she didn't tell her parents that

64
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: she was getting married. Her parents, in fact, would only

65
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: approve of this wedding if they both waited to announce

66
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: it after her twenty one birthday party, So the official

67
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: announcement came nearly a year after these two got together.

68
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: She promised to devote her life to public service on

69
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: that twenty one birthday party, during a radio broadcast from

70
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: Cape Town, she committed herself to a life of public service,

71
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: and I think we can all agree she kept that promise.

72
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: So she also got to choose her own surname. Technically,

73
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: the Queen's last name is Windsor, chosen by George the

74
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: Five in nineteen seventeen after the family wanted to distance

75
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: themselves from their German sounding name during World War One

76
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: so they didn't become Windsor's until nineteen seventeen. They were

77
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: looking for a new name. They wanted to get away

78
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: from their German roots, and nothing signs more British than Windsor,

79
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: so that name was completely invented. They got to choose

80
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: that name. Then, in nineteen sixty when they got married,

81
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: Elizabeth and Philip adopted the official surname Windsor mount Batten.

82
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: His last name was mount Batten. Her last name was

83
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: Windsor because she was going to be the Queen of England,

84
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: though she didn't want to take on his name, and

85
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: so they joined their names together and the rest of

86
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: her life she was Elizabeth Windsor mount Battern. She used

87
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: the London Tube for the very first time in May nine,

88
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: thirty nine. Can you believe this? The Queen on the tube.

89
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: She also visited a tube again many years later. She

90
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: waited thirty years nineteen sixty nine for the opening of

91
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: the Victoria Lyon. That's the very first time and the

92
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: second time. I don't think she's done it any other time,

93
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: but Queen Elizabeth at one point did go on the tube,

94
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: which we know as the subway. Her current nation was

95
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: televised against her wishes in nineteen fifty two, Queen Elizabeth

96
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: officially transcended to the throne. She was just twenty five

97
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: years old. Now she is notoriously camera shy. Even later

98
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: on in her life. She never really got used to

99
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: the camera. She didn't want photographs taken of her wedding,

100
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: and she didn't want she certainly didn't want the event televised.

101
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: But a commission chaired by her husband, Prince Philip, they

102
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: decided that to televise the event would be a very

103
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: good idea, and they convinced the Queen and of this,

104
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: and so she finally said yes, she would let her

105
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: coronation be televised. But there was one caveat a big

106
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: deal here, no close ups of her face. So for

107
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: the first time the cameras were invited into Westminster Abbey.

108
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: Over two hundred and seventy seven million people around the

109
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: world got to watch this. In fact, television sales sword

110
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: people went out and bought TVs just to watch this.

111
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: There's a reason that she wears those bright neon ensembles.

112
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 1: I love it. You've seen pictures of her always in bright,

113
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: bright colors. So her royal biographer said, the reason she

114
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: does that is so that you are able to see

115
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: her from far away. She knows she's the Queen. She

116
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: knows you're probably not going to get that close to her.

117
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: She knows people want to see her, so she always

118
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: wears something shockingly bright, A very good idea. She uses

119
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: her purse to signal to her staff, So her handbag

120
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: is basically a communication tool for her, and when she

121
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: puts it on different sides of her it signals to

122
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: her staff what she wants. They've got this secret code.

123
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: I'd tell you what all the details are, but they

124
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: won't tell us. The staff have confirmed this that yes,

125
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: she does use her handbag as a secret code. However,

126
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: they won't tell us quite what she means. But if

127
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: you're seated and she puts her bag on her left,

128
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: it means something different from her bag on her right.

129
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: If she opens up her purse, she wants something different.

130
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: Talking about opening up her purse, the only time she

131
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: ever carried cash was Sundays when she went to chat

132
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: so she could put money in the donation. So when

133
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: they have the donation plates that go around, she doesn't

134
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: want to be the only person not putting any money in,

135
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: so she only carries money on a Sunday. She's also

136
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: the only person in Britain who can drive without a

137
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: license plate on her car. She's the Queen. She doesn't

138
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: need a license plate, and she also doesn't need a passport.

139
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: When she travels around the world, she doesn't have a passport.

140
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be fantastic? No more looking for your passport

141
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: the night before your trip. You don't need one if

142
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: your Queen Elizabeth. She's the longest reigning monarch in British history.

143
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: So next to her was Queen Victoria. Now she was

144
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: on the throne for sixty three years, seven months and

145
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: two days, so Queen Elizabeth now has exceeded that. She's

146
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: been on the throne over seventy two years now. Yes,

147
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: King Louis of France was king longer than her, but

148
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: he became king when he was four all years old.

149
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: So they say she's the longest serving monarch, which means

150
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: she was actually doing the job at four years old.

151
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: You've got somebody else doing the job. There have been

152
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: six popes, six popes during Queen Elizabeth's reign, and she's

153
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: been served by fifteen prime ministers. Just a few days

154
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: ago it was fourteen, but she signed in that Prime

155
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: minister just a few days ago, who's also called Elizabeth.

156
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: Her very first prime minister was Winston Churchill. Winston Churchill.

157
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: It gives you a sense of history around this extraordinary woman.

158
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: So although her birthday is on April twenty one, it's

159
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: actually celebrated in June. The event is known as the

160
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: Trooping of the Color. We've talked about this amazing event.

161
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: It features the royal family in a procession through London

162
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: and then they end up waving from Buckingham Palace balcony.

163
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: They did this because many centuries ago the king decided

164
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: his day, which was in the winter, was not a

165
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: good time to celebrate, so he created a birthday in June,

166
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: and to this day that is when the monarch officially

167
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: celebrates their birthday. So technically they have two birthdays, one

168
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: in June and whatever day they were born. Queen Elizabeth

169
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: speaks fluent French. That's right. She speaks fluent French and

170
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: a few other languages too. She would argue she's not

171
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: fluent in them, but people say she's really really good.

172
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: Also too, we know that she loves her coreg She's

173
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: she has owned over thirty during her reign, thirty different

174
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: Corgi is. Her very first one though, was called Susan,

175
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: and it was a gift on her eighteenth birthday in

176
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: nineteen forty four. Her last Corgi, Whisper, died in twenty eighteen.

177
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: Since then, she has pretty much created her own breed

178
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: of dog called dog Is. It's across between a Corgi

179
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: and a duck's and this happened by Chace of what

180
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: happened is one of the Queen's Corgi is mateed mated

181
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: with Princess Margaret's duck sound, and that's how dog Is arrived.

182
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it. These dogs have become such a

183
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: big part of her public image. The Queen technically owns

184
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: all the swans, all the swans in the UK. Just

185
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: a little fascinating fact. If you see a swan in

186
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: the UK, it doesn't matter where you see it. The

187
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: swan is technically owned by Queen Elizabeth. Obviously, there before

188
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: the swans, or even the dog is or the cork is,

189
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: came her first love horses. She began riding at the

190
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: age of four years old. When she received her first pony.

191
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: It was a Shetland named Peggy and It was a

192
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: gift from her grandfather, King George the Fifth, when she

193
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: was just four years old. She still loves to ride

194
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: her horses in Windsor and Bellmorl. She also breeds horses

195
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: and she's an expert at it. She has about horses

196
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: that a royal studs any season. She's a brilliant, brilliant

197
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: horsewoman and everybody in the business of horses loves to

198
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: know her opinion. She loves together the races. She often

199
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: puts down a little bet and she often wins. Said

200
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: this story made me smile. Even the monarch can sometimes

201
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: go undercover. So on a trip to Scotland she bumped

202
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: into she met some American terrorists, and when the tourists

203
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: asked if she lived locally, she mentioned that she did

204
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: live in a house nearby, and when they asked if

205
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: she'd ever met the Queen, she simply pointed to her

206
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: security and said, no, but he has. The security guard

207
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: conferred this story. He said, they had no idea they

208
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: were talking to Queen Elizabeth, and I think this is

209
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: something about her that is so wonderful. For somebody so

210
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: rich with billions of dollars, she lived quite a modest life.

211
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: Now don't laugh at me here because yet she lives

212
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: in the palace. But she wasn't flashy. She went on

213
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: vacation to Scotland. She would rather be in the country

214
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: with her horses and her doggies than anywhere else. She

215
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: did not like ostentatious wealth. She really didn't. I know,

216
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a queen here and it sounds ridiculous,

217
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: but that's how she liked liked to live. Isn't that fascinating?

218
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: Also to the queen doesn't have to pay any taxes,

219
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: but she chose to anyway, So the Queen volunteers to

220
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: pay income tax and capital gain taxes since n That's

221
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: when everything changed. When there was a fire at Windsor

222
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: Castle and the public was really angry about having to

223
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: pay for the renovation, she said no, no, no, I'm

224
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: going to pay, and then moving forward she did he taxes.

225
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: People forget that. Queen Elizabeth survived an assassination attempt, so

226
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: during the one trooping of the Color her official birthday

227
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: shots rang out and she survived that attempt. Since then

228
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: her security was increased considerably, but the nation was shocked

229
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: that anyone could get this close to the Queen. And

230
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: then Just one year later, when her security should have

231
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: been at its peak and intruded got into her bedroom.

232
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: A man climbed over the palaces barbed wire fence. He

233
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: shimmied up a drain pipe, and he eventually made it

234
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: into the Queen's bedroom. Thankfully, she was not harmed. I

235
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: like this story. So the Queen's drink of choice is gin.

236
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: She loves a gina. So the gin she had, she

237
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: likes it with a slice of lemon on barroqus and

238
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: she has one every day before lunch. She also to

239
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: enjoys the glass of wine and the occasional glass of champagne.

240
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: The queens on social media, so she joined Twitter in

241
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: July two thou and nine and cent her very first

242
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: tweet then. But since then, her page has been maintained

243
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: by her staff. She's not on it herself. She's not

244
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: there tweeting away herself. This hopefully gives you an insight

245
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: into the amazing woman Queen Elizabeth. Now. I know, while

246
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: you're listening you might question what tents we're using. I

247
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: just still can't get over all of this. I know

248
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: that my entire life there has never been another monarch. Never.

249
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: I read in his statistic that people living in Britain

250
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: have only ever known Queen Elizabeth as their monarch. Because

251
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: she's been on the throne for so long, over seventy years,

252
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: most people only know her. Obviously, transition is going to

253
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: be really difficult, really painful. It's going to be something

254
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: that we're going to be watching I think over the

255
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: next couple of days really really closely. But I think

256
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: thinking about what I wanted to end and say about

257
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: this amazing lady is that she was the mother of

258
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: the nation. That's the best way to describe what she does.

259
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: Friends of mine, American friends always ask or what does

260
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: she really do? And it's a difficult question to answer

261
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: because technically she's a constitutional monarch, which means she has

262
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: very little power. Now all the power is with Parliament. However,

263
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: to say that is to underestimate the power that she

264
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: really had. Her influence, her opinion is something that everybody

265
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: listened to. I doubt Charles will have that gravitas. He won't.

266
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: Maybe he will get it over time, but after all

267
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: those years, she is somebody who we all listen to,

268
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: who will be deeply, deeply, deeply missed, and somebody who

269
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: really was, really was the mother of thing. It's not

270
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: even nice with ra
