Queen of the world

Inverted snobbery is as prevalent as snobbery.

I await Paddyann to give the name of the woman queenie evicted .

not fair. snobbish I think.

Your comment is what my late dear mother would have called 'common'.

DIL, Andrews daughters have no claim on the sovereign grant , the only difference is Andrews daughters have a title.

Zara married in Scotland which was sensible as the Windsor move there for the summer, there was police protection on the royal mile and at the church . Yes she lives on her mothers estate which was bought by queenie.

Andrew seems to find dropping from 2nd in line to the throne to 7th difficult, his problem . The carriage ride around Windsor should be cancelled,

I doubt very much that the Queen chose the title for the programme.

Does she consider herself "Queen of the world" ? Paddyann Has she tried to impose her rule and sovereignty over the whole globe, or is she "just" respected for her experience and discretion? Chapter and verse, please.

She is the head of state of an important country, with links through the Commonwealth to a lot of other countries., so she is a world figure The Commonwealth these days has grown up, it isn't a child taking orders from Mummy.

Anniebach Lots of people live with their parents and the fact it's her mother's land just makes her mum the landlord.

She receives no title with land or income attached as has no claim on the sovereign grant. Apart from renting/owning a house on ehr mother's land, she's the same as everyone else.

I’ve not seen the programme, so may be missing something here, but the queen is not the “queen of the world” as far as my general knowledge goes!

Paddyann who is the woman the queen evicted?

I agree wholeheartedly Paddyann but what's that about her grandsons house? I haven't heard that.

They have the best PR team ,personally I find it distateful that anyone would consider themselves to be "the queen of the world" with all the privilege that entails when the world is a hellhole for millions .Maybe Lizzie would like to house some of the homeless and feed the poor ? NO? They are so far beneath her in her perception she doesn't know they exist.Its a mediaeval concept in the 21st century and it should be binned.As soon as Lizzie dies ,even I wouldn't chuck an old woman out of her house....oh wait,didn't she do just that to give the house to her grandson?

Zara Phillips does not live independently, she lives on her mothers estate , she has done quite well in show jumping but her horses are from the Queens stud farm. She gets on the balcony for all occasions . So realy no different to her cousins

I'm not a royalist and they all have an over developed sense of entitlement. However I love reading books on the history of England Great Britain and watching programmes and I do intend to watch this one. I'm sure it will be interesting. Although like OP I think its a PR exercise regardless of when it was filmed..

I think there are certain royals who are not very popular with the general public and many more who no one is interested in. Eugenie falls into one of those categories but Prince Andrew fails to understand that. It will be embarrassing for both of them if hardly anyone turns up to watch her procession around Windsor after her wedding and is an unnecessary expense for the tax payer. If anything, people may be there just to try and catch a glimpse of the guests. Princess Anne had the right idea, not accepting a title for her children and encouraging them to live independently.

I watched it, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I am a royalist. I thought all the embroidery around the Duchess of Sussex's veil was beautiful. The Queen is a remarkable woman too. Plus it was lovely to see the inside of Buckingham Palace. It brought back memories of our summer holidays, as we visited it before coming home.

Harry is 6th in line, Eugenie is 9th in line

DIL17 I don't think you can say that Eugenie and Harry are the same - he carries out Royal duties and she does none. Also he's a lot higher up in the line of succesion and when he and Meghan have children Eugenie and Beatrice will be even further down the line.

I enjoyed it, nice seeing the coloured film of the Coronation, I saw it in black and white on my auntie`s 9" TV screen. The only annoying bits were when Meghan kept fiddling with her hair, she doesn`t need to, she`s a very lovely looking girl.

I fell asleep watching it!

@mabonal Zara doesn't hold a royal title or any formal royal standing. She is technically a private common person ( I know that doesn't sound nice but that's how it is). Eugenie of the other hand has a royal title and is just as important as Harry.

Will's wedding was huge as a future King, Harry and Eugenie are both the same, just more of the queen's grandchildren.

The difference is the Duke of York. He has an over-developed sense of entitlement.

The Duke of York is put out because the BBC do not intend covering the wedding of his daughter Eugenie. She is a minor royal, Princess Ann's daughter Zara was not given that treatment what's the difference?

PamelaJ1 Haha, silly small phone screen.it was meant to say "you do realise"

The program was constructed around Megan's wedding dress and was made up of various clips- making for a very disjointed selection. Bit rubbishy I thought.
