I’m Watching “Elizabeth II: Our Queen Episode 3 – Crown in Crisis – British Royal Documentary” on YouTube. 👑👑
I did not realize that the royal family did not pay taxes, specifically inheritance taxes. The Royals have been under constant threat of losing their royal status, with calls over the years to dismantle the monarchy. But they never seem to be bothered by it… In typical British fashion… they “remain calm and carry…

I’m Watching “Elizabeth II: Our Queen – Episode 4 – Tragedy & Triumph – British Royal Documentary” on YouTube 🇬🇧🇬🇧
The documentary starts out with Queen Elizabeth on New Years Eve 2000 at the Millenium Dome in London, which had just been built. Tony Blair, the prime minister, wanted her to be there. You could tell she was very uncomfortable. In a rare display of public affection, Prince Phillip gave her a kiss. The…

I found a playlist off all 15 documentaries in the series. It came out in 1999 and was hosted by Peter Jennings. I’d love to see something similar done for the past 20 years.

I’m Watching “The Century: America’s Time – 1914-1919: Shell Shock” on YouTube
The documentary started off on Pier 54 in New York City…. it discussed the departure of the doomed Lusitania, who was sunk by a German U-boat off the coast of Ireland in the Celtic Sea. It showed some disturbing images of children who died in the tragedy. I didn’t like it, they should have…

I Just Watched “Diana, Princess of Wales’ 60th birthday – British Royal Documentary” 👸👑
I have watched several documentaries on princess Diana but this is the only one that I’ve seen footage and pictures from when she was a child. This documentary also said how her husband, Prince Charles, wasn’t in love with her, but was still in love with Camilla Bowles. Princes Diana at one point told…
