Speaker 1: got a very very special edition of The Naughty But

4
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: Nice Show. So for the last week or so, we've

5
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: been doing a ton of royal news that there's been

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: so much royal news that we wanted to get to

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: every single day that we've been delaying this show that

8
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to do for quite a while. It's

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: an entire show dedicated to Queen Elizabeth. Little details, stuff

10
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: about her that you're gonna not have heard before, stuff

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: that's really surprising, adorable. But we're gonna spend about fifty

12
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: minutes today just focusing on the news and really really

13
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: fun facts about this extraordinary person. If you love the Royals,

14
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna love the next twenty minutes. If you don't,

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: this is going to be agony. Hey one time, is it?

16
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: My friends? It is tea time. So let's start at

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: the beginning. She was not born heir apparent to the throne,

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: so for the first ten years of her life, Princess

19
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: Elizabeth was a relatively minor royal. Her status basically was

20
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: akin to Princess Beatrice or Eugenie today. So you know

21
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: Andrew's daughters, they're the ones that were those fabulous fascinators.

22
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: That's basically what Elizabeth and Margaret were going to be.

23
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: They were not going to be major, major players in

24
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: the House of Windsor. Then something really, really unusual happened.

25
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: Her uncle abdicated, so we know Wallace Simpson and we

26
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: know that love story. Her uncle gave up the crown

27
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: and suddenly his brother, his brother. We've seen the king's speech,

28
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: the one with the stutter, bub bub bub Bertie is

29
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: what they used to say to think fun of him.

30
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: Suddenly he became king. So when she was about ten,

31
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: Elizabeth went from being a minor royal to basically the

32
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: next Queen of England. Her dad unexpectedly became king. He

33
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: didn't want to be king. It's a lot of pressure.

34
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: He has to do a lot of speeches too, don't

35
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: you when you're when you're king. He had a terrible,

36
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: terrible stutter. He didn't want to do it. His brother

37
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: was handsome and playboy, flashy, everything you think of a

38
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: like a movie star. He abdicated, so within one year

39
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: there was three kings, three kings, so Elizabeth's grandfather, Prince

40
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: George the five, he died, and then her uncle became king,

41
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: and then he abdicated, and then her father, George the

42
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: six became king, all within one year, so that was

43
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: a major year in her life. She was only about

44
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: ten and suddenly she went from being a minor royal

45
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: to guess, but she's going to be the next Queen

46
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: of England now because of this. She was born in

47
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: a town house in London. She was not born in

48
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: a palace. Instead, she was born in Mayfair, a very

49
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: fancy neighborhood in London. In fact, the house where she

50
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: was born was demolished in ninety seven. Now it's a

51
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Chinese restaurant. So if you try to find the birthplace

52
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: of Queen Elizabeth, if you want to go and search

53
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: for that in London, it's in Mayfair, very fancy. I mean,

54
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: she still was a royal. She wasn't going to be queen,

55
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: but she was a royal. So she lived in in Mayfair.

56
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: But now if you want to find the house, it's

57
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: gone and it is a Chinese restaurant. That just goes

58
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: to show you how when she was born there was

59
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,559
Speaker 1: not an expectation that she would go on to greatness,

60
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: which she certainly has. And there was a little girl

61
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: she got the name Lilli Bett. And the reason she

62
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: got that name Lily Bett. You know the name, because

63
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Harry and Meghan have named their little daughter Lilli Bett

64
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: after Queen Elizabeth. So it was a nickname, and it

65
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: was given to her by Princess mark Grit who the

66
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: family affectionately called Margot. So they called Margaret Margot, and

67
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: they called Elizabeth Lily Bett. And the reason she got

68
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: that nickname is Margot. Margaret constantly mispronounced her big sister's name.

69
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: She couldn't say Elizabeth, so she called a Lily Bert

70
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: and it caught on. And now just really really, in

71
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: a certle members of the family called her that name.

72
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Prince Charles certainly doesn't, her children doesn't. Margaret did her

73
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: entire life. Margaret called her Lilli Bert, her mommy called

74
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: her Lili Bett, her daddy called her Lilibet. And they're

75
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: all gone now, so really there's nobody left that calls

76
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: her Lily Vette, although now we have a new Lili Bet,

77
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: don't we In little Harry and Meghan's daughter, now Elizabeth

78
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: and Margaret. They didn't go to school. They were tutored

79
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: at home by teachers from Eastern College, which at the

80
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: time was only boys. She couldn't go there if you

81
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: were a girl, so they had private tuition at home.

82
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: They were also given get this religious lessons by the

83
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: of Canterbury. They go straight to the top. So even

84
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: as children they had amazing education. Were not allowed to

85
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: attend the boys school Eton College, but the teachers from

86
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: the college came to them. Now. During the war, Elizabeth

87
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: decided that she wanted to do her bits, so she

88
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: joined the army. She actually joined the women's branch of

89
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: the British Army, and this is when she learned how

90
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: to drive, and not just drive. She's a wizard apparently

91
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: with a spanner. If anything goes wrong with your car,

92
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: she pops open the hood and she can get in

93
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: there and she can fix it. They say that if

94
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: ever they have trouble with the cars at Windsor Windsor Castle,

95
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: or at Buckingham Palace and you can't fix them, call

96
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth. She knows how to fix a car that's

97
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: in trouble. Lickerty split and she learned that during the

98
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: war and also to it gave her an enormous amount

99
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: of respect from not only women but men in the country.

100
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: It was at a time when women's lives were just

101
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: so different and she was not having that. She wanted

102
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: to do her bit. She joined the army and now

103
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: to this day, one of her favorite things to do,

104
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: even at n is to drive. Now she doesn't hit

105
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: the roads anymore, but she drives around her private estates

106
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: up in beltmorl in Scotland, and she loves that. She

107
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: has a range Rover. You often see her driving around Now.

108
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: Elizabeth and her husband they've known each other since they

109
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: were children. They actually met when she was just eight

110
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: years old and he was fourteen, a little bit older.

111
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: They both attended the wedding of Princess Marina of Greece

112
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: and Prince George. That's when she first spotted him, and

113
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: that's when she fell in love. Now, it's a slightly

114
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: weird note here, but we're going to be very honest

115
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: on this podcast. She married her cousin, So Prince Philip

116
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: and Queen Elizabeth are actually third cousins. They both share

117
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: the same great great grandparents, Queen Victoria and Prince aln.

118
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: But now this sounds just bizarre, doesn't it. Marry in

119
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: your third cousin. However, back then royals really had to

120
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: marry other royals, and so after a while you run

121
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: out of new people. So they're all sort of into bred.

122
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: It's the strangest thing, isn't it. So they share the

123
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 1: same greed greed grandparents Prince Philip and Queen Eliza birth.

124
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: I think this is just it was a love story.

125
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: It's just a love story. She didn't tell her parents

126
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: that she was getting married, though, so her parents would

127
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: only officially approve if the couple waited to announce their

128
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: engagement until after she was twenty one. So when they

129
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: re met she was about eighteen, she she knew he

130
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: was the one she had known since she was eight

131
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: years old. They secretly got engaged, but they were not

132
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: allowed to tell anybody until she turned twenty one, and

133
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: then the official announcement came almost a year later. She

134
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: promised to devout her life to public service when she

135
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: was just twenty one, So she's engaged. She's twenty one

136
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: years old. Her father's the King, and on a radio

137
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: broadcast from Cape Town, and she committed herself to a

138
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: lifetime of public service. She knew at twenty one that

139
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: this is how she wanted to live her life. Duty

140
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: came first. Public service was always going to be first.

141
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: So at twenty one she made that pledge and I

142
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: think we can all agree she kept her word even

143
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: till today are so this was a little bit controversial.

144
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: Back then. She got to choose her own surname, so

145
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: technically the queen's last name is Windsor, chosen by George

146
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: five in nineventeen, after the family wanted to distance themselves

147
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: from sounding to German during World War One. So during

148
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: World War One they had a German name, and during

149
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: the war that was not good. They did not want

150
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: to have a German name, so they woke up one

151
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: morning and decided, we're going to change our last name,

152
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: and suddenly they became Windsor's. Isn't that wild? I know,

153
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: if you look at the family tree, it's wild because

154
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: they go to bed with one name, they wake up

155
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: with another. That's a whole new family tree, and you

156
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: can't pick a more British, more British sounding name than Windsor.

157
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty, Elizabeth and Philip adopted the surname Windsor

158
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: mount Batten, so normally in Britain back there maybe even

159
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: still today. When you got married, often the woman would

160
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: take the man's name. But when you're the Queen of England,

161
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: what are you doing? So to make peace here, they

162
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: decided to combine their names and that's why they became

163
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: officially in nineteen sixty Windsor Mount Batton. Some fun little

164
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: facts about the Queen. So she first used the London

165
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: Tube that's what we call the subway, for the very

166
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: first time in May nineteen thirty nine. She visited the

167
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: tube again in nineteen sixty nine for the opening of

168
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: Victoria Lion. Lots of pictures of a young Elizabeth on

169
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: the tube. Don't don't think if you get to London

170
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: and you jump on the subway, the tube, you're going

171
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: to bump into Queen Elizabeth. We know at least twice

172
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: she's used here. I'm not sure you're going to see

173
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: her down there. And for her coronation, this was a

174
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: big deal, against her wishes, against her wishes, it was televised.

175
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: So Queen Elizabeth officially ascended to the throne when she

176
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: was just twenty five years old. Can you imagine twenty

177
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: five years old? Her dad passed away very young. She

178
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: blamed she blamed her uncle for all this. She really did.

179
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: She felt had he not abdicated, her dad would have

180
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: lived much longer. But the pressures of being the king,

181
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: with that terrible stutter, all the attention. He didn't want

182
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: this job, but he wanted to be there for the nation.

183
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: Once again duty it's duty within the windsors. So she

184
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:58,359
Speaker 1: was notoriously camera shy, and she didn't even allow photographs

185
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: to be taken off her wedding, so she certainly did

186
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: not want her coronation to be televised. However, a commission

187
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: chaired by her husband, Prince Philip, they convinced her that

188
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: doing this would be a very good idea. She finally agreed,

189
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: knowing the world was changing, the monarchy was changing. Television

190
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: was a new thing, a new medium. Philip was ahead

191
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: of his time. He knew this technology, this new new invention,

192
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: television was going to be huge, so he convinced her

193
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,359
Speaker 1: to do it. She said yes, on one caveats one caveat,

194
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: no closeups of her face. If you watch the coronation,

195
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: they are not allowed to zoom in. So for the

196
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: first time television cameras were allowed into Westminster Abbey. And

197
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: get this, two hundred and seventy seven million people around

198
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: the world watched. It was a huge, huge, huge success.

199
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it changed the monarchy forever.

200
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: Would you allow the cameras in? You can't kick them

201
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: out totally ever again. So this was a moment in

202
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: history where she did not really want to do it.

203
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: She was convinced to do it. Some people say it

204
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: was the biggest mistakes. Some people say it was the

205
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: best thing she ever did. Now do you want to

206
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: know the reason why Queen Elizabeth wears those bright neon

207
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: ensembles whenever you see her Over the last couple of days,

208
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: we've seen her a few times, not enough in my opinion,

209
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: but I love seeing her. Over the last few years,

210
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: she always where there's bright neons. So, according to her biographer,

211
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: she wears them because, quote, you have to be able

212
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: to see me from far away. That's my Queen Elizabeth accent.

213
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: Forgive me Queen Elizabeth, if you're listening, a lower, lower, lower.

214
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: She wants to be seen. She knows she's the queen.

215
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: She knows people want to see her, so wear a

216
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: bright color. She uses her purse. She's always got that purse.

217
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: So why does she have that purse with her. She

218
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: actually uses it as a as a method to signal

219
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: to her staff. So her handbag is often used as

220
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: a communication tool. And how she reaches her staff, So

221
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: if she holds it in one hand or another, it

222
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: means something. If she puts it on her lap, it

223
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: means something else. We don't know exactly what all the

224
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: clues are, but she's signaling to her staff by how

225
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: she carries and holds that person. It's fantastic, isn't it.

226
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: And so she only ever carries cash on Sunday so

227
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: she can donate some money to the church. She never

228
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: has cash, So if you're out with Queen Elizabeth and

229
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: you need to borrow ten pounds, forget it. She doesn't

230
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: carry cash and never so we know that's not in

231
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: the person. She's the only person in Britain who can drive.

232
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: We talked about how much she loves to drive. She's

233
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: the only person who can drive without a without a

234
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: driving plate and number on her car. Isn't that fantastic?

235
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: She does not need a driving plate on her car.

236
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: There's no licensed number, there's no licensed number on and

237
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: you never She's also the only person in the country

238
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: that never needs to worry about a passport when she's

239
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,359
Speaker 1: traveling around the world. Queen Elizabeth does not have a passport,

240
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: so when she comes to America, wherever she travels, she

241
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: travels a lot no passport, so don't even bother asking.

242
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: She's the longest reigning monarch now in British history. She's

243
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: surpassed a long time ago, Queen Victoria, who previously held

244
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: the record at sixty three years, seven months and two

245
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: days on the throne. We love to be specific here,

246
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth has exceeded that record, and if she reigns

247
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: for two more years, she will exceed the seventy two

248
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: year record set by King Louis of France. So when

249
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: you're here on TV, I've been hearing it a lot

250
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks that she's the longest reigning

251
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: monarch ever. Not true. She's the longest reigning monarch ever

252
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: who's still alive. But Louis in France actually has the record,

253
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: and he he ruled for seven two years. Fingers crossed

254
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: that she beats that. There have been six popes during

255
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,479
Speaker 1: her reign, six popes. She's also been served by fourteen

256
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: one four prime ministers, including church or Margaret Thatcher and

257
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: now Boris Johnson Winston Churchill, get your head around. That

258
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: was prime minister when she became queen. And once a week,

259
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: whatever the Prime Minister is doing, they have to go

260
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: and meet the Queen. It's very important. They go to

261
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: the palace. They talked to the Queen and they say,

262
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: it's actually a time when the Prime Minister can really

263
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: confide in the Queen. It's very confidential. There's never any leaks,

264
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: so the Prime Minister he or she can tell the

265
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: Queen what's really going on. Although her birthday is actually

266
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: on April twenty first, it's celebrated in June. So let

267
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: me explain what the Trooping of the Color is. It's

268
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: an event, a massive event that features the royal family.

269
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: It's a procession through London and then lots of waving

270
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: from Buckingham Palace. It's a military prede to celebrate the

271
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: Queen's birthday. Years ago, it was decided that they wanted

272
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,239
Speaker 1: to do this in summer, so they moved the celebration

273
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: from the actual monarch's birthday to the second Saturday in June.

274
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: So the Queen technically she was born on April one,

275
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: but she celebrates her birthday in June, and that's when

276
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: we have the trooping of the color. So basically the

277
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: trooping of the color is to celebrate the Queen's official birthday.

278
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: This year they moved the date of trooping of the

279
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: color so that they all fit together beautifully, beautifully with

280
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: the jubilee. But that's what the trooping of the color is.

281
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: Did you know Queen Elizabeth is fluent in French. We

282
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm not fluent in French, but Queen Elizabeth is fluent

283
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: in French. She also loves her corgi is so over

284
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: her reign. Over her reign, there's been a lot of

285
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: Corgis in that palace. In fact, her very first corgy, Susan,

286
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: was a gift for her on her eighteenth birthday in

287
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: nineteen forty four. Her last Corgi, Whisper, died in twenty eighteen,

288
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: and and she loved Susan, her first Corgi, so much

289
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: she actually brought her on her honeymoon in nineteen forties seven. Technically,

290
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth also owns all the swans in the UK.

291
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: It's just an old rule that nobody really knows why

292
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: it started or had. But technically, if you see a

293
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: swan in the UK and England and the rest of

294
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: the UK, it technically belongs to the Queen. Let's talk

295
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: about a love affair with horses. It started when she

296
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: was just four years old. She got her first checkland

297
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: pony called Peggy. It was from her great grandfather, King

298
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: George the Fifth, and when she was just four years

299
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: old she started to learn to ride. Now the Queen

300
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: breeds horses and she loves this and she's an expert.

301
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: They say at the races, never bet against Queen Elizabeth.

302
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: She knows whose horse is going to win. This is

303
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: such a great story. So even the monarch, though, can

304
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: sometimes go under cover and not be recognized. On a

305
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: trip in Scotland, she actually met some American tourists and

306
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: the tourists asked her. They didn't recognize that she was

307
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: the Queen. She had her head scarff on. They said,

308
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,000

309
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,560

314
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:33,000

315
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth technically doesn't pay taxes, but she chooses to anyway,

316
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: So the Queen has paid income tax and capital gains

317
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: since One of the most amazing things about Queen Elizabeth

318
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: if she knows she has to change with the times.

319
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,919

321
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: now she volunteerily pays taxes. A little really bad like

322
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: sad event that I guess it's so bad we don't

323
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,960

Speaker 1: that she survived that. Also to she survived an intruder

328
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,040

329
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: the palace wall, shimmied up a drain pipe, and eventually

330
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,440
