"Are you okay, Ma'am?" - Queen Elizabeth's Emotional Exchange with Member of the Public (2002)

On 12 February 2002, Queen Elizabeth II visited Booth House in Whitechapel, the headquarters of homelessness charity the Salvation Army. Wearing clothes of mourning, the Queen made her visit only four days after the death of her sister, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. While the monarch focused her conversations on the work of Booth House and the experiences of those living there, the Queen was asked by one member of the public how she was coping with the loss of her sibling.

    It felt like all was right in the world. She was sanity and a point of reference. It all does not feel right in the world after her passing. The two rainbows. Balmoral and Buckingham Palace. Rain stopped clouds parted and those two rainbows. A bow to her Royal Highness Our Majesty the Queen. She was such a blessing. She can rest and she did reign til her last dying breath. As she said. She is watching. I can't wait to go home too. ❤

I AM A CITIZEN OF THE USA BUT I'VE KNOWN THE QUEEN ALL MY LIFE AND SHE WAS ALWAYS FULL OF GRACE AND HONOR! IN MY MIND SHE WOULD NEVER LEAVE US. BUT. IN HER LAST YEARS SHE WAS HARASSED AND TRICKED BY PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN! TO THINK HER VERY OWN GRANDSON WOULD STOOP SO LOW TO HARASSING HIS BELOVED GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDFATHER! HARRY MUST BE SICK LIKE MEGHAN!

    She would have been emotional of course after her sisters death but she also seemed genuinely moved that a member of the public had taken the time or ask her if she was okay. I wonder if she had many people ask her if she was okay as being Queen she was expected to be the leader / Matriarch of the family, the monarchy and the nation. Being Monarch must be difficult and lonely at times but she did it well.

    SHE REPRESENTED AN OLD CULT - LIKE INSTITUTION WITH A VERY EVIL HISTORY. A Cult of Personality arises when an individual uses mass media, propaganda, or other methods to create an idealized, and at times, a 'god-like' and a 'goddess-like' public image, through Unquestioning Flattery and Praise. ( Deceased Elizabeth II, Charles, William, Anne, Camilla, Kate and the remaining representatives ) The old English monarchy is a CULT - LIKE institution with a very bad history. What is a CULT-? The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader. Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged. The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act and feel. The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader and members. The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society. The leader is extremely protected and does not give interviews. The leader is not held accountable to any authority. Unquestioning adulation is expected from the followers. Characteristics of a CULT. The Leadership Dictates, Sometimes In Great Detail, How Members Should Think, Talk, Act and Feel. Examples:- When Elizabeth was alive the following rules had to be obeyed. When she enters the room, everyone must stand. When the queen stands, you must stand. By age five, children are expected to bow or curtsy to the monarch. Bow or curtsy as she approaches. Only shake her hand if she shakes your hand first. Do not wear sunglasses outdoors if you are near her. Never address her by her first name. Only address her as your so-called majesty. Never initiate a conversation with her. She always takes the lead. She always walks ahead of everyone else. Her 'husband' always had to walk two paces behind her. Never walk in front of her. You wait for her, she never waits for you. Never turn your back on her. Never leave an event before her. Selfies are forbidden. Never start eating before her. The wearing of fur is not allowed. Never continue eating after she has finished. Keep the conversation 'light'. No personal questions about herself. Females must never sit with their legs crossed at the knee. When the royal family is part of a procession, they must enter and be seated in the order of precedence, which is essentially the order of who’s next in line to the so-called throne. The so-called royals aren’t allowed to give out autographs. Mrs Windsor was required to use her purse to send subtle social signals. When she placed her purse on the table at dinner, it meant it was time to wrap things up-so consider the bite you lifted must be your last. She was required to spend her time speaking to the person on her right for the first course, and then engage in conversation with the guest on her left for the second. The so-called English royals are not allowed to give autographs. Parliamentarians are not allowed to discuss the monarchy. The old English monarchy has a bad history and the following words would apply to it. Anachronistic, Racist, Incest, Adultery, Immorality, Tyranny, Brutality, Genocide, Slavery, Theft, Dysfunctional, Aloof, Extremely Secretive, Irrelevant, Suffocating Formality, Abnormal and a Prison - Like Lifestyle. Edward's and Simpson's allegiance to Hitler. Andrew / Epstein and Charles / Jimmy Savile. Diana's arranged / forced marriage to Charles and his horrible treatment of her. Philip and his affairs. Anne divorced. Randy divorced . Charles divorced. Camilla divorced. There is not much family stability with these people and they are a poor representation of a cohesive family. The obsessed monarchy cult followers say that the monarchy provides stability but they dont explain how it does that with regards to this family. Henry VIII divorced two of his wives and the other one was BEHEADED-! Charles II executed-! Hanged, Drawn and Quartered. The "drawing" part actually comes first and it involves the convict being tied to a type of sled that's "drawn" or dragged behind a horse all the way from the prison to the gallows. Then he was hung by a rope tied from the gallows and around his neck. After a few terrifying minutes of near-asphyxiation, the rope was cut and the man fell down. Then his penis and testicles were cut off, his bowels were pulled out, his heart was cut out and all were burned before him in a fire. Next, his abdomen was slit open from groin to sternum. His head was severed from his body and his body cut into four quarters to be disposed of at the king's pleasure. The body parts were then taken on a publicity tour and distributed to the surrounding towns as a warning to those who would challenge the authority of the king. One of the main reasons for doing all of this was to demonstrate the absolute power of the monarchy. Burning at the Stake was another awful way to be killed. Britain has a monarchical kind of government and it had five Prime Ministers in a short period of six years. Northern Ireland was without a functioning government for a period of two years. The monarchy representatives and THE OBSESSED FOLLOWERS claim that the monarchy provides stability for a government but they do not explain how it achieves the so-called stability. The so-called monarchy cult representatives, ( Charles etc ) are supposed to be apolitical and have no power and most certainly do not keep politicians in check. That is done by the voters. So in reality, the citizens have more power than the monarchy cult representatives. If you think otherwise, then when was the last time royal assent was denied-? The founding fathers of our beautiful country of America REJECTED the old cult-like English monarchy with its very evil history and ALL of us Americans need to REJECT IT AS WELL. PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW THIS OLD CULT.

    It's fascinating to see the Queen at work, even while still in mourning for her sister. She has certainly mastered the art of "small talk" and saying just the right thing to make a stranger feel at ease. I am sure every person that met her never forgot the experience. I''m afraid we will never see her like again.

    I appreciate what you’re saying but, since Her Majesty was the Sovereign and Head of State of Jamaica, she was his Queen as much as anyone else’s. He would have been aware of that and was probably chuffed that she stopped to speak to him and was interested in his response. As Head of the Commonwealth, H.M. visited Jamaica frequently and, no doubt, had fond memories of her visits and the people she met.

    To observe the Queen clearly in a weary condition, and not in the unwavering, effortless style she nearly always commands at these events is truly exceptional. The question, with regards to her general well-being was WAAAAAAY outside the confines of Royal Protocol, ranking right up there with the time she was bear hugged in Houston and nearly forced to eat 'potato salad', however, unlike that cataclysmic breach, I think this time she was genuinely moved. His question triggered a most unique emotional response, that even the Queen, master of the poker face, allowed the façade to crack, if only for a fleeting moment. Despite her overall composure to be entirely unflappable, this is to the casual observer nothing remarkable, but to those who understand the Queen's impeccable professionalism and her forensic understanding of situational minutiae, the gravity of the tears, which are building rapidly in plain view for all to see, in my opinion, can be recorded as testament to how much she loved her sister, and the impact the loss had. HMtQ's gaze upon hearing this totally unexpected, incredibly unusual, (and arguably inappropriate ) yet overwhelmingly touching & kind question definitely caught her off-guard. These situations were pops of color and a source of great enjoyment for The Duke of Edinburgh and HMtQ, as they were few and far between; brief interludes into the world of unscripted, unplanned and part of a world which their immensely elevated status & rank deprived them of - that of organic, genuine interaction with everyday, common people. After watching this a few times, I think we can observe a nearly impossible to catch glimpse into the the eyes of Elizabeth Windsor, coming through at 7:48 just seconds after this gentleman cracked the code and opened up the metaphorical vault of her true personality, giving us a fraction of a second glimpse into what she may be like when out of public view. That almost imperceptible sparkle in her eyes as her gaze lingered upon him for a flickering second. With regards to the more trivial observations drawn from this video, I can think of no one, not even in the circles of high fashion (which the Queen dutifully was not a part of) whom would carry off-full mourning / head-to-toe black, with greater elegance of her uncomplicated, irreprochable style of dress; making her overall look absolutely timeless. Odd to see her carryving that bouquet throughout... she definitely wasn't quite on her 'A-game' for this visit, but I bet she remembered it fondly.

    I loved her very dearly. On the day of her death I was on my way to the Autobahn to visit my (still) ailing mother some 400km away. I heard the news about the situation and started to cry immediately. Some very short time later the radio told me she had died. Again with the crying. Some 200 kilometers later it was getting dark, and I noticed a car without tail light, still on the Autobahn. So I was their tail light. I followed them beyond the Autobahn. Also couldn't get help from Autobahnpolizei. Towards Minden, where I was able to stop the car. They were peasents of Ukraine, two young women. So the husband of one of them escorted them home. On my way back to Autobahn I had lost every snippet of orientation. I was tired and disoriented when the mighty flash caught me. I had absolutely no clue about were I was or fast I was to go.

    Oh, I really do miss our late Queen, looking at this old footage of her going about her Royal Duties is just priceless. She certainly has a Twinkle in her eye! Charismatic & level headed. Everyone who has ever been fortunate to have met her all having the same opinion, Queen Elizabeth II was a very well educated lady & could talk to Anyone. That twinkle in her eye & dazzling smile, right up to the end, beautiful inside and out. Truly wonderful & dedicated her life to the Monarchy, The Crown came first. She knew it wasn't going to be an easy life, fulfilling? certainly. I'm 63 yrs old, and I've only ever known our Monarch to be our Gracious, late Queen Elizabeth. It's been a strange time for me because I see this wonderful lady, never destined to be Queen until Uncle abdicated. Our late Queen's Father, the King, had not prepared for this sudden change in family dynamics, he Never thought he would be King & his speech impediment didn't help, that wspistas hard for him to make a speech, he had a good speech therapist but together with the wonderful support of his wife, our late Queen Mother, his life was helped so much from his wife. I bet she was fiery when she was young!!!
