Prince Philip's Mother in Law from Hell

The Queen Mother and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, had a strained relationship, primarily due to their differing personalities and views. The Queen Mother, traditional and reserved, reportedly disapproved of Philip's modern, outspoken nature and his influence over Queen Elizabeth II. Tensions also arose from Philip's desire to reform royal protocols, which clashed with the Queen Mother's conservative stance. Despite public decorum, their underlying friction was a well-known aspect of royal dynamics.

She conveanly forgot her husbund and children are from Greman decent🤯

[chinavaughan]

I think that the reason the Queen Mother disliked Phillip was because, unlike her husband, he had a backbone and would stand up for himself. Also, Phillip wanted to bring about changes to the monarchy, which his MIL would have frowned upon😏

[lillymay]

My great uncle was guardsman at Buckingham palace and he described the Queen Mother as a dragon.

I wonder if Prince Phillip didn't secretly find the Duchess of Windsor's name for the Queen Mother very funny: Cookie

[patsycovino]

He was also a Great Grandchild of Queen Victoria (who was German) she had alot of nerve that one. What a phony.

[KarenWoolford]

The Queen mother was a difficult woman at the best of times.
And she was only beloved by the public because the public didnt know her.
She was the only woman to be called the Queen mother because she wouldnt give up the title Queen

[elainepaterson]

Family dynamics can be difficult in the most normal of families and when great power and wealth are involved, then relationships can be especially toxic!

[einezcrespo]

She made it clear she never liked him. She called him The Hun. I feel bad for Elizabeth being in the middle of that situation.

[johnbaldwin]

It is always said that the QM was the"darling" but only of the Media...most of us thought she was a spoilt jealous spendthrift....

[louisefun]

well, as Marina said, the Queen mother was a scottish country girl and not European high aristocracy

[miriamhavard]

I love the fact that Princess Elizabeth would not be thwarted from marrying the man she loved!

[LiamDeeley]

With what we learned about her spending in a previous video she certainly was a hand full. When spouses pass and children wed there’s always a transition period but it normally doesn’t involve shutting of the heat. Thank you for your video.

[pbohearn]

That woman spends serious amounts of money

[maryannbernal]

Love behind-the-scenes tell-alls. Great episode.

[keepitsimple]

Richest woman in the world, and can't get her teeth fixed.

Prince Philip's lineage is impeccable - despite his descent - similar to Elizabeth's - of minor German princes of the 16th and 17th centuries via Queen Victoria, and Christian IX. His Romanov ancestors are impressive. Elizabeth's birth has been the source of unpleasant rumors. Not surprised she was insecure around him. I seriously doubt he was around her. He had a hard childhood (for royalty), but I bet he knew exactly who and what he symbolized. Elizabeth gives me a chill. (Thank you so much Jon!)

I once learned in a documentary that Prince Phillip and the Queen Mother disagreed over who Charles should marry.

[annaphillips]

There are many documents yet to be released on all the cover-ups and censored material.

[maggiep]

imo, Queen Mum didn't like the fact Phillip was a royal, a Prince of Greece and Denmark, while she was a commoner. I doubt it was the German heritage, especially since her father-in-law changed the name of their House from Saxe Coburg Goethe to Windsor.

[redwoods]

I'm sure Philip gave as good as he got. She probably also objected to the fact that Philip was totally broke.
