1992 was the year described by the Queen as her “Horribilus” - the divorce of Charles and Diana, topless Fergie’s toe sucking antics and the fire in her beloved Windsor Castle. But that all seems to have been superseded by the relentless tide of issues, scandals and controversies in the past few years.

From political upheaval and the proroguing of Parliament to the scandal of Prince Andrew and his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, as well as the the rift between Harry and William, we look at what turned out to be the Queen's final year.

From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.

    not innocent nor being used, andrew willingly signed up to attend depravities that he so wanted to enjoy, he only got caught and thought that his title and queen would protect him and insulate him. most arrogant and entitled behaviour is his demise!

    This Richard Fitzsimmons guy is so hilarious. "HAVING. HER. TOES. SUCKED."

    All things aside, imagine having a car crash and the other driver is prince Philip 😂
  • @Caninecancersucksrocks
    I knew the moment Prince Phillip passed, we would lose her. He was her last connection to her past…despite the years of controversy, he was always her touchstone, especially after her sister and mother passed. It breaks my heart that she was so beleaguered during her final days. God bless her, she deserved better. I’m so glad Prince William and Princess Katherine were at least some bright spots for her in her final days. RIP Queen Elizabeth. The world is a colder place without you in it.

    It breaks my heart to see how close William and Harry were

    Well life as a royal is not easy for the one who married into royals, especially commoners as some of them didn't know what life was like as a royal. Some of them probably think marrying a royal is cool, because they would be granted or inherited their husband/wife's jewelry, tiara and antique collection and being rich and famous with wearing glamorous fashion and waving through the crowd. But haven't they known that "being royal is a work", this quote is from Princess Anne for advising Meghan Markle. If you refuse to work as a royal, then you're probably struggling to live as a royal, especially when people know what you are doing, causing your fame to deteriorate. If you are born as a royal, you'll probably be trained as a royal since you were a child. But sometimes royals would break the royal protocol or do something disgraceful, causing people to gossip or splash on the tabloids, make a big headline that day. Like Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein scandal. So that is why The Late Queen Elizabeth II stripped her son military title and HRH and isn't the senior royal or playing a public role anymore.

    Don’t forget “Uncle Dicky” and his penchant for young boys…
  • @lisejacquelinerigault2575
    I wish that Charles would be like his mother. He needs to put his country first, and take tough decisions regarding his wayward son. She always did what was right for her subjects.
  • @sandyjoestes5619
    Geez, I am so tired of the press or media referring to H & M as “a young couple“ when they were approaching middle age, both in their LATE 30s when they met. Both of them were hardly “young” or implied innocence if you get my drift. The number of times either one of them has been “around the block” would be easily in the dozens. I’m sure. 🙄
  • @lilspring1057
    Why would they let a 97-year-old man drive & alone?! That is so irresponsible and a months-old baby in the other car?! Absurd and totally UNdignified.
  • @earlyoung2215
    Instead of condemning them why don't we embrace did Elizabeth 2 was more than just the queen she was the glue that held the family in the nation through many times and her passing is a family member which we love and cherish so dearly and let's honor her by praying God bless her family because remember the Windsors are people too and don't we have family members whom are similar just remember we're talking about people regardless of royalty or commo folk
  • @belmy0836
    Prince Andrew interview at the palace reminds me of prince harrys interviews . The idiocracy of the entire thing . I feel bad for the queen.
  • @chickadddee
    Lesson to all parents: don't coddle your favourite. It's always the cheeky charming ones that, when coddled, have a hard time growing up (Andrew, Harry....). Catherine be careful with Louis!! 🤷🏼‍♀
  • @buddhidev7877
    I think passing away of his royal husband devastated the late queen the most.
  • @HeyItsJarred
    This video is not AT ALL about the queens final year as the title suggests. It’s not even a current documentary- it only goes until 2019.
  • @irairod5160
    Watching this a couple of years after the Queen's passing, I think she did the best she could reasonably have done given the restraints her position entailed.
