I salute the late Queen mother in this video. She was 98 years old at this time and was still able to stand unaided and still hold a conversation. May the departed souls rest in peace Amen
-
The Queen has left quite the legacy. She will forever be in our hearts and it is still even today difficult to comprehend that shes indeed gone. It still feels like she is here and thats because of the impact she left. What she was able to accomplish in her time is amazing. The most dedicated and loyal person I think I've ever witnessed.
-
Who else realised they were involuntarily smiling whilst watching our beloved late Queen Mother and her daughter the late Queen Elizabeth II with fondness and love? Very missed by all. RIP and thank you for your service❤️
-
As a Canadian, I feel so much gratitude and pride to have been able to call her my Queen for the first 22 years of my life. Rest in peace, Your Majesty
-
This was a nice and soothing video to watch. Generations of the royal family viewing the Christmas tree. The ornaments crafted was a lovely touch. RIP YLMQEII.

I adore the Queen. How can anyone else make a discussion about handmade ornaments last half an hour. And as for the Queen Mother she’s a total delight too. And well done that she came to support the Queen.
-
I've been feeling anxious today so I came to watch videos of the Queen, somehow, she make's me feel better.
-
It was so nice to see Her Majesty looking so well. And Princess Anne looked so young! The Queen Mother's response to seeing her portrait on a Christmas ornament was so cute. I wish it were still that time. 1998 may not have been perfect, but I know I was much happier back then.

Her Majesty and The Queen Mother have impeccable taste 🥰🎄
-
A delight to watch. The Queen was so gracious as some of those decorations were anything but lovely…… that fairy is stuff of nightmares 🤪🤣
-
The Queen is an hands on lady. I really love her. It feels like you can be comfortable with her at the same time you will do things for her because of your respect for her
-
Absolutely wonderful to see the queen's mother and the Queen together enjoying the tree and all the wonderful decorations. These 2 I've looked up too all my life, as I did with my mum. I still find it hard that they are no longer with us, as I do with my mum. No one will ever be as graceful as our Queen was and no one will ever be on the throne as she was. ❤
-
Lovely to see the Queen and her family, especially the Queen, admiring one of the many Christmas trees in her home! She seemed so relaxed and to be enjoying herself!!
-
Two very gracious ladies. We will never see their like again, sadly. Rest in peace Your Majesty and your mother.
-
“Oh you did the fairy did you?” 😂😂😂 love it.
-
I love how the Queen decorates the tree with her handbag still round her arm. She would not relinquish that handbag for all the tea in China!!😉😅
-
It was like watching the Queen and her mum shop for decorations in an antique shop. 😂 So cute to watch and i was just as fascinated as they were..😂😂
-
Always had such admiration for the Queen such an amazing lady
-
The Tree was absolutely beautiful. The crowning glory of any Christmas tree is either a star or Angel. That oversized pink thing certainly was a insult to her Majesty's tree. But as she does... she would of kept her thoughts to herself.

shout out to the death defying guy who had the courage to go up there to put the barbie on the tree.
