Queen reopens the LC2 in Swansea

Tape no. 07-03-08/1

Location:

Whatever the provocation, it’s always advisable for a royal prince to keep his eyes firmly above the head of the person to whom he’s speaking....especially if said person is a belly dancer. Fortunately for headline writers, though, Prince Philip rather allowed his mind to wander as he met up with four buxom performers who discovered the 86-year-old Duke still has a very definite twinkle in his eye and laughter in his belly. But whilst Philip had his eye on the dancers, during the royal couple's day of engagements in South Wales the Queen - as you can see in the above exclusive video from Calyx TV - was forced to keep her eye on Philip as she waited....and waited....and waited for her prince to return to her side. While the coroner at the Royal Courts of Justice was declaring that – as expected – the Queen and Duke would not be called to give evidence at the inquest into the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and Dodi Fayed, Prince Philip was back on duty alongside the Queen hundreds of miles away in Swansea. The royal couple have been embarked on a day of engagements in South Wales, the highlight of which – especially for headline writers! – was the Duke’s meeting with the forty-something dancers. Spotting the four women who’d turned out in their tassled costumes and little more to offer a memorable greeting to the royal couple, Prince Philip went over to have a chat. Recalling her meeting with the Duke who has a tendency to reveal a little too much of his true feelings, 47-year-old Beverly Richards revealed: "Prince Philip said 'I thought Eastern women just sit around smoking pipes and eating sweets all day.'" "I said we do that as well, and he looked us over and said, with a twinkle in his eye, 'I can see that'. We were stunned, then we all burst out laughing. It is the kind of thing my mum would say." "We were not insulted. I think that it's great that he said it. He is very down-to-earth." While such light-hearted comments as this tend to be used against Philip, thankfully the women themselves haven’t take offence, Mrs Richards saying: “To be honest it's an honour to be insulted by royalty. It is something to tell the grandchildren."

Philip opens the Garden of Rememberance at Westminster Abbey

Tape no. 09-11-06/1

Location:

The opening of the Field of Remembrance has always been a key part of the Royal Family's weekend of Armistice Day services marking the moment — at the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month in 1918 — when soldiers downed their arms and World War One was officially deemed to be at an end. In years past this particular event in the grounds of Westminster Abbey has welcomed a range of senior royals, from the Queen Mother (a regular attendee) to the Queen and Prince Andrew. This year, as you can see in this video from Calyx TV, the duty of placing a poppy in the field of remembrance fell to Prince Philip, a man who knows full well the cost of war, having served with the Navy during World War Two. Although a wholly solemn occasion, the Duke — ever the realist — would have likely been a little amused by the fact that, now aged 85, he is in fact older than some of those 'old soldiers' with whom he met and paid tribute. Clearly, though, even at the age he is the still very active Duke continues to have a major part to play at the head of 'The Firm'.

Queen at Commonwealth Day service

Tape no. 10-03-08/1

Location:

Following a well trodden path for royalty down the ages, the Queen and Prince Philip returned to Westminster Abbey to mark Commonwealth Day. Attending the service were guests from across the globe, including representatives of all 53 Commonwealth nations. As part of a busy day of engagements which help to further strengthen the ties between the House of Windsor and far-flung nations in which Elizabeth II is also Head of State - a role which won't necessarily be inherited by her eldest son and heir, Prince Charles - the Queen's voice was being heard far and wide as she called for humanity to unite in the fight against climate change. In her traditional radio address, broadcast across the 53 Commonwealth nations, the Queen followed the royal family's most famous (and at times controversial) proponent of environmental issues, Prince Charles, in putting climate change back in the spotlight. In this year’s speech, Her Majesty told a global audience that the developed world should work together to combat the dangers of pollution, saying of the power of such a united force: "Happily, this approach has always been a strength of the Commonwealth, and awareness of environmental issues is now widespread, with a determination that future generations should enjoy clean air, sufficient fresh water and energy without risking damage to the planet.” Referring to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Uganda last November, the Queen recalls how political leaders agreed to tackle climate change during discussions which took place close to Lake Victoria: "It was an appropriate place to do so: from there, the waters of the River Nile begin a three-month journey to the Mediterranean." "The Nile, throughout history, has served humankind in many ways. But for all its impressive size and importance, this river is a fragile eco-system; and its vulnerability grows with the number of people dependent upon it, so that a single incident of pollution upstream may affect the lives of countless numbers downstream." "The example of the Nile illustrates many of the challenges facing the global environment as a whole which cannot alone sustain our lives as once it did." "The competition for fresh water by a growing population is itself becoming a source of potential conflict." Although, of course, such speeches as this are written by Foreign Office mandarins in conjunction with the Queen and her aides, this isn’t the first (or likely last) time that the Queen has pointed out the downside of what should be our beautiful environment. Sat in her private quarters watching archive footage of her world tours for a 1986 documentary, ‘The Queen & The Commonwealth’, the monarch mused when recalling her first overseas tour as Head of The Commonwealth: "One saw this dirty commercial river, but Mr Churchill, he said it was a silver thread running through our history".

Queen and Duke of Edinbrugh visit Banbury

Tape no. 27-11-08/1

Location:

The Queen proved that the credit crunch is biting inside the Palace as, appearing in Oxfordshire yesterday, she wore the same outfit as that seen at the December 2006 graduation of Prince William from Sandhurst. Nothing too surprising about that from the lady who is notoriously careful with money – and regularly wears the same outfit - except for the fact the recycling of the royal wardrobe came on the day the Daily Telegraph reported Her Majesty has told her family to keep smiling and be frugal as the nation faces a much-hyped recession. The Queen and Prince Philip were in Banbury for a series of engagements which included a visit to the Leonard Cheshire Care Home and the opening of a new wing at the John Radcliffe Hospital. Thousands of onlookers turned out to welcome the royal couple to the region. However, one man appeared overly keen to show his feelings towards the VIPs. Police arrested a man who appeared to be in his thirties as he rushed at the royal limousine, swearing and gesturing at the car and its occupants. According to an onlooker: "All of a sudden this man came running by and went charging for the car and three officers went after him."

The British Press are trying to make a bit of mischief today by publishing images of the Queen apparently checking herself in the mirror whilst husband Philip was (in the words of one tabloid) "deep in conversation with a glamorous younger woman". The Daily Mail leads the way with a full page report on the Queen and Prince Philip's attendance at the 4-day Royal Windsor Horse Show, which ends on Sunday. Not for the first (or last) time, the media are making much of the Duke of Edinburgh's close friendship with Lady Penny Romsey, the wife of Norton Natchbull, the grandson of Philip's assassinated Uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten. Speaking to the paper, on onlooker says: "The Queen drove herself from Windsor just before the event started but she and Prince Philip were at opposite ends of the dressage ring." "Lady Romsey and Prince Philip looked very pleased to see each other. They are good old friends and share a love of the same things. The Queen looked very serious and she didn’t hang around." Philip and Penny Romsey share a love of carriage driving and the Duke was a great support when the Romsey's five-year old daughter, Leonora, tragically died of cancer in 1991. It was a death which greatly affected many members of the Royal Family and establishment, including Charles and Diana, who attended Leonora's funeral. Around this time, The Sun newspaper was hugely embarrassed when they they published a front page photograph of the Prince of Wales hugging a mystery blonde. It later emerged that the "mystery" lady was Penny Romsey and the Prince was simply comforting his family friend having only just received news of her daughter's illness. Yesterday, the Queen and Philip attended the first day of the annual horse show to watch Lady Romsey compete in the dressage section: "Lady Romsey was first up and the Queen left again as soon as she finished the event. Lady Romsey seemed very pleased with her performance. She was very animated when she finished." Being a little mischevious, the paper repeats the story about Philip and Lady Romsey at a ball in Cowes in 2001 where the Queen's husband was "spotted on the dance floor whispering into her ear". Seeing today's coverage, is it any wonder the Duke of Edinburgh once told members of the Press pack he hoped they broke their "bloody necks" by falling from their stepladders!
