The Queen often said she was head of the monarchy but he was head of the family. How dare that Malarky woman and that ostentatious McCarthy woman make fun of them. How DARE she make fun of Philip's pet name for her She was either Lilibet or cabbage. I hope the rest of the Woke hollyweird bunch wake up to this d-list failed actress, or are they dazzled by the fake duchess title? As our aussie cousins say "pass the chuck bucket."

I think her father made it clear to him what his role and life would entail....and he took it on willingly. A wonderful man and much missed.

I am Chinese patriot but admire and adore your Royalty. Thank you for having taken care of the man.

Thank you Grant for sharing with us your very warm, sincere and respectful anecdotes of Prince Philip during your time as Royal Butler and in the subsequent years. It was a very peaceful chat.

God bless you! A proper old-fashioned butler with the most important quality - discretion.

The royal butler is a delightful man, and I appreciate hearing him speak about the royals. He shows the utmost respect, and they must be p,eased with him.

I am an American and a lover of the British people, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Somehow your wonderful channel appeared on my KZread recommendations. I am so glad it did. I wish I had known of it earlier, but I can at least play your video archives and I am doing that today as I do online work. What wonderful memories you have of your experience as a member of the royal household. God bless.

I have read about Prince Philip, watched documentaries about him to come away with respect and admiration for his humour, dedication, loyalty, and overcoming obstacles in life.

So many memories for the Queen. Everywhere she goes will be a place she has walked with her loyal loving Husband and Consort before. My heart breaks for her. May God Bless her mightily. Thank you for sharing this and speaking honestly and respectfully. Shalom.

"Duty, Honour, Country", that was HRH Prince Philip.

His passing is sad but he rather not suffering for so long in dead bed. Let’s face it, We would all suffer before passing.

I remember him saying that he was guarded 24/7 by the met police and he was very forthcoming when he says "if I was misbehaving, the word would soon have got out. I enjoyed getting out of the Palace but I always had watchers.". Not a single member of the police protection squad had a bad word to say about him. When you have risked your life for six years in WW2 on convoy protection, come back and let me know.

Even though I’m from America, I admire the Royal Family. It must be difficult to live life in the public eye. God bless them all and the funeral was beautifully done. With love from America!

A lovely, personal tribute to Prince Phillp. When the Queen and Prince Phillp came to Alberta in 2005, I got to see them from very close inside their hotel lobby, which was quite grand that day. I am so happy to have made it that close to them and will remember it forever.

We in fact got to the lobby a couple of hours ahead of the Royal couples' arrival from Commonwealth Stadium, and inside the lobby, the staff gave everyone a little Union Jack flag to wave around upon their arrival. When they did arrive, they were so close to everyone inside the lobby. It was such a great decision to see them there. And, on another note, we travelled to Calgary all night, to see Prince William and Catherine at the Calgary Stampede Parade in July of 2011. Most memorable moments in a lifetime!

Well done. Sharing your memories and yet remaining confidential. Rest in peace, HRH, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

haha, I remember that time when he had a choice word for that photographer. For me personally, he was one of the greatest men to ever live. I thought I knew a lot about him but I'm staggered at how dedicated, forward thinking, intelligent & caring he was. He's my idol now. Thank you Grant, you put into words what a lot of us thought of his passing & he was old school which I wish we had more of. Still so sad about his passing, I will really miss him, he's always been there.

Thank you for your recollections of Prince Phillip. I appreciated your respect and affection for the Queen and Prince and how you make the story so interesting without giving away their privacy. I'm also touched by the way the British people love and respect their royals. I remember when Diana died and the people were getting pretty upset with the Queen for not speaking on it, and how quickly they forgave and fell back in love with her once she did. She was so gracious and humble in her speech. In America we are dealing with so much turmoil right now and I can't help but think how nice it would be if we had a Royal Family to look up to and bring us together. Thanks again for your story, It feels like when my father would tell me stories of his life.

Thank you, Mr. Grant for your insightful and gentle rendition of a wonderful and lively man, Prince Philip.

Very interesting stories. You are very respectful and Professional. I can see you care deeply for them. You are lucky to have experienced these moments. Thanks for sharing such positive lovely memories.

Prince Philip Lord HIGH Admiral of the Fleet. Prince Philip was a Hand On Sailor. He Served the Queen and Great Britain to his last hours. His carriage was a working Land Rover. A day to day military vehicle nothing extra ordinary. He worked on it himself. His last parade and last journey was Dignified and Kept Simple. He planned and Directed it himself. He called Everyone to" Action Station " TO Continue His World's Wildlife Fund Actions that he Founded Many years ago. Farewell SiR ! WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU.

Such nice memories about the Duke of Edinburgh. Thank you for sharing this with us and also for keeping some secrets confidential. It truly shows your integrity to me. Not everybody would act like you in these days. The Queen and Prince Philip are also a good example for me. Whenever I have craftsmen or other people working for me I always try to be nice and kind to them. Or give them something to drink for their breaks. It makes things much easier and simpler for getting a project done.

Many greetings from south Germany where I have lived for 45 years. We have almost daily news here on the British Royal Family, very good documentaries , and all in all the Family is greatly loved and respected. We Brits living abroad lap up anything to do with the Royals , so thank you very much for the videos. I must admit to have shed a few tears on Prince Phillips funeral day. The Queen never looked so sad and lost ! She reminds me so much of my late mother. Best wishes and thanks. Richard Esten-Cleverly

I also had this problem with the music. It seems like the same intro music was looped repeatedly through the whole video, when it’s designed to only be used sparingly and judiciously during high points.

Thank you for sharing but the music was too loud and very distracting, and I was hanging onto your every word trying to listen over the loud music.

Lovely videos! I had considered trying to work for the Royal Family but took up teaching instead! I was brought up in Camberley, Surrey, not far from Windsor. I remember taking my pen-friend from the USA to Smiths Lawn. The Duke was playing polo. When the game was over she walked to her car and drove out of the gates and past us at the wire fencing and waved! We could have reached out and touched the car. Wonderful memory! 1965! I now live in Ohio, USA.

Thanks for your video, really nice of you to share your memories

Not many people in this world have a job that you wanted since your young age and actually get it ! I congratulate you and a bit envious. I respect you the way to tell us the story of the Royal family. ( No dirty laundry that some insider like to tell)

Fascinating - thanks for this.

« Prince Harry thought a lot of Prince Phillip « but he didn’t have the balls to face Prince Phillip before he died. It’s such a shame most of us didn’t know more of Prince Phillip BEFORE he died. We’ve learned he was a pretty special person. Any more stories you remember would be greatly enjoyed by this new subscriber.

For 80% of people's lives, the Royal Subjects of our Country have only known Her Majesty the Queen, along with her husband His Royal Hagness The Prince Phillip, The Duke of Edinburgh. Never in my life or any other person's life thought we would be one Major Player down with the passing of Prince Phillip. In my life I have seen the workings of the Constitutional Monarchy of The United Kingdom and other Countries and Commonwealth. Monarchy as we have known it of the last few decades, has been the softly softy approach with the Queen, then Prince Phillip has been asked for help as her Majesty has said no. With a smile he goes off to sort the issues with the other side, yes, they manage to get that photograph, how has he done that? Both have had particularly good relationships with Government, the House of Lords, the House of Parlaiment. Prince Phillips passing has given us something to listen to in his funeral, which will be played for decades to come. We all must die, the prince along with his family, have shaped our Country in many ways allowing us to have lived in a steady democracy. Thank you, Grant,

What a nice man,so interesting, this is what you call respect,bless you for your loyalty,

Oh Lord, please help the Queen! Amen.

H, was edgy & preoccupied at the funeral, he failed to show the leaving nod to the crypt departing as all others did. He is over until his wife dumps him & if picked up will be a sobbing heap. Time will tell. Family is too good & patient with him.

Salutes from the Bridge of the World ; Heart of the Universe...Panama Canal!!Blessings.

Every time I see Prince Philip's photo now I identify him with Matt Smith the awsm actor who played him in The Crown Netflix. Actually that movie gave me my first glimpse inside the Palace and the Royals turned out to be real people.

THANK YOU for your wonderful vlog🙏

Am I the only one distracted by the background music?

I know you would never say anything derogatory but I think Prince Philip would have been furious with what Harry has been saying. He did support Harry leaving but not the way he left the Royal Family. Harry doesn’t seem to be the same since he married and I cannot believe someone could change that much. the way he keep talking he’s getting his self more into hot water. He could have come over to visit his grandfather before he died. I loved the Duke of Edinburgh. Great sense of humour and I think he knew how people viewed him and probably played on it as well. I’m sure it’s left a big hole in the Queen’s life. Prince Philip was a great man. He had a bad start in life but through sheer strength of will he survived and that was before he met the Queen. He will be very sadly missed. Pity his grandson didn’t take a leaf out of his book.

Grace...leave his grandson alone,you have no idea if Harry hadn't called his grandfather,time to move on

He just was such a fascinating person with such a will to survive, and he really came out on top. He knew humility in his life and he lived that way. In a sense orphaned and left to relatives to provide a life for him, he did not disappoint them and took his opportunities and made something of himself. I don't think he expected to become the Queen's consort! But he was dashing and handsome and knew not to take things for granted from a young age. I wish his children had more of the deprivation and need for sense and survival that he experienced in his life. I love all of the Royal Family, but Prince Philip must at some point said to his children, don't be so entitled, you can be deposed, as happened to his family. Some of them were not listening! I am editing to say I would never want this to happen, but it frightens me with what is going on currently. It would be a horrible day in the history of the world, at least for me. God save your gracious and noble Queen.

Prince Philip's life of service should remind everyone of the huge, tangible power for peace and stability the British monarchy is for everyone in Britain, the commonwealth and for the world. If there are many reasons England, Wales, Scotland, Canada and Australia, have had no civil war since Culloden in 1746, having a constitutional monarchy is an important one. In the 19th & 20th centuries the U.S.A, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Greece suffered in various ways civil wars, political storms, and dictatorships. This shows what can go wrong in the absence of a stable constitutional monarchy that is above politics, which opposes illegal dictatorship and helps keep the peace. Prince Philip could be tactless, and he had his failings as a father. Whatever mistakes he and his family have made, let us be grateful for the service he gave, and the difference the monarchy makes for the better, in everybody's lives.
