Not a complaint, just a clarification 😃 Didn't you include Mary of Teck in your video about the spouses of the rulers of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha or something like that? I think that's the video I watched yesterday 😃

He was appointed Governor General of Australia after WW II had ended. He was renowned for liking a drink.

*Maria of Russia was the sister of Queen Alexandra's brother in law, Alexander III. Her daughter married on both sides of the family with both of her marriages.

I can’t find much information about her courtship with Adolphus of Teck

Why was she permitted to marry a British subject, surely as Princess Royal it was expected she marry the head of a foreign royal house?

Can you do a video on Princess Victoria’s suitors, I hear the Earl of Rosebery and the Marquess of Cambridge were amongst them. A video on why Louise, Princess Royal was allowed to marry the Duke of Fife rather than a Prince would be interesting.

George III was not mad, he suffered from Porphyria. Porphyria is not a "mental illness". Porphyria is a defect in the metabolism of red blood cell molecules, responsible for transporting oxygen. One of its symptoms is suffering from hallucinations and mental confusion, among many other ailments, hence the belief, at the time, that the king was mad. Today it is a disease that can be managed with medication. I have it as well.

Thank you! Great mini-biography, Maria! ❤👍😊 For a "maiden lady" (of her era) Princess Helena Victoria certainly did a lot of independent volunteer work ... Good for her! ❤👍😊 I suppose that both "Thora" (Helena Victoria) and "Louie" (Marie Louise) could be described as "princesses of nowhere" After 1917 they were not allowed to use their "surname" ( i.e. the name of their father's royal house "House of " *Schleswig-Holstein* -Sonderburg-Augustenburg") I wonder if Princess Helena Victoria's sister, "Louie" had give up her British citizenship to marry Prince Aribert of Anhalt? Or was a woman's citizenship (m.1891) not important in royal circles? [Marie Louise's] ""Her marriage was annulled on 13 December 1900 by [Prince Aribert's] his father. Princess Marie Louise, on an official visit to Canada at the time, immediately returned to Britain. According to her memoirs, she regarded her marriage vows as binding, so she never remarried."" --- Wikipedia. Yikes! It took her father-in-law long enough to annul that marriage ("Louie was 28 at the time, not exactly "over the hill" But if the marriage had not been consummated from 1891--1900; I guess it was never going to be consummated!?!

Thank you Maria.❤👍😊

Thank Maria. ❤ I wonder if Victoria ever met Prince Agustus Frederick's children? (b. 1794, b. 1801, b.1819 -- V.) Prince Agustus Frederick seems like a decent enough chap (compared to some of Victoria's other uncles ... Yikes what a bunch!) Agustus Frederick gave Victoria away at her wedding. He did (obviously) care about his first wife and their children. He met and married her in Rome (Anglican ceremony ... Although her family was related to the Stuarts--Catholics) and again in London (m. 1793) St George's, in Hanover Square. It is sad that despite lobbying to have his marriage to Lady Augusta Murray (1761--1830) recognized for years that he was (most likely) coerced into, formally, separating from her 27 November 1801). Their daughter was born (August 1801) a few months before their separation. Perhaps a deal was struck after he received his titles and an annuity. At least his wife got maintenance for herself and the children) "In 1806, their mother, Lady Augusta, was given royal license to use the surname 'de Ameland' instead of Murray" -- Wikipedia I do not know if this would have been allowed if her father had not been a Scots nobleman. ""A year after the death of Lady Augusta D'Ameland (Lady Augusta Murray), the Duke of Sussex married a second time on 2 May 1831 (again in contravention of the Royal Marriages Act) to Lady Cecilia Letitia Buggin (1793-1873), the eldest daughter of Arthur Gore, 2nd Earl of Arran, and Elizabeth Underwood, and the widow of Sir George Buggin. On the same day, Lady Cecilia assumed the surname "Underwood" (her mother's maiden surname) by Royal Licence. She was never titled or recognized as the Duchess of Sussex. However, she was created Duchess of Inverness in her own right by Queen Victoria in 1840."" -- Wikipedia. I suppose that this was a kindness to her uncle. Again, I do not think Cecilia would have received the same courtesy if she was a commoner. Ha! Just looked it up! "Duke of Sussex" went extinct with Prince Agustus Frederick. The title (second creation) was for Prince Harry -- Diana and Charles III son! Perhaps it will go extinct again.

Thank you Maria ❤👍😊 George II of Great Britain and Hanover was the last British king to lead an army into battle. *Great Britain and Hanover were split in 1837* because under Salic law, a female could not accede to the Hanoverian throne. It was her uncle (the 5th son of George III) *Prince Ernest, Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale* (he had been made a duke in 1799) who *acceded to the Hanoverian throne* (1837) *upon the death of his father* *Victoria* (1819 -- 1901) *was the last of the British Hanovers* The German Hanovers still exist but monarchies are not legally recognized in Germany, however the German royal families still have social clout and many have high positions in banking and government, as well as the EU. Prince Ernest had married (1815) his first cousin Frederica of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Frederica had been twice-widowed and already had produced 10 children. Ernest's and Frederica's only child became King George V of Hanover (he was born in 1819, the same year as Victoria)[1] Ernest had been educated and received military training in Hanover and served in the British House of Lords (as a conservative). He served in the Hanoverian military near Tournai, (in modern) Belgium, against France's revolutionary forces. Ernest was married after the Napoleonic wars and lived in Berlin (where his only legal son was born). Nobody seems to know of any illegitimate children by Ernest; although it is rumored that he was the father of his sister's Sophia's illegitimate child. (i.e. Princess Sophia of the United Kingdom) But other's thought the child was the offspring of Thomas Garth (a tutor) Still others claim that Sophia never had a child. However, George IV did issue an order to his family for his sisters tonot to be alone with Prince Ernest, Duke of Cumberland (What? O_O !!!) *Anyhow, Who knows?* _______________________________________ 1.) *Victoria's cousin, George, Duke of Cambridge* (son of Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge) *was also born in 1819.* (Prince Adolphus was the 7th son of George III) Prince Adolphus served as viceroy for the Kingdom of Hanover under George IV and William IV (1816 -- 1837) Prince George, Duke of Cambridge was born at Cambridge House in Hanover.

Thank you Maria. Whew! One needs a scorecard to keep up with all of these illegitimate kids of English Kings and nobles! Prince William of UK became Duke of Clarence and St Andrews and Earl of Munster (1789) He acceded to the thrones of UK and Hanover (1830) . George FitzClarence not getting along with his father was a Hanoverian trait. Like father, like son. William IV didn't get along with his father (George III) either.

"Having known each other for years" is probably one of the reasons why Henry and Alice had such a successful marriage.

First story I've ever heard about this brother in their family group!

My favourite Prince

Post more royal videos because they are so interesting ❤❤❤❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇨🇦

The only child of the late Queen who isn't bonkers. Thats to be lauded.

Great video thanks. They were a lovely couple .

How would they have been on the throne? QE II would have still be in line ahead.

I did not expect that ending? They were such beautiful girls..a beautiful family in general. Smh history is crazy.

🤗🤗 denmark you ❤me . 🤗🤗🤝🔐💞💃🖕

Queen Alexandra is my favourite. The most beautiful Queen❤❤❤

Well done! Thank you!

Mes Respects à Son Altesse Royal La Princess Mary , Princess Royal and Countess of Harcwood dont soyez les Bienvenus & de même avec mes remerciements en compagnie de ma profonde gratitude infiniment

No. They buried themselves in a strictly authoritarian autocracy that refused to change with the times (Nicky & Sunny hated everything the Duma stood for). Alexandra was also venomously hated because the Russian public viewed her as a 'German spy'. She was Hessian royalty with an English twist in a Prussian economy, an" did not consider herself a part of Wilhelm's Germany. If anything, she came to hate Germany whilst vaingloriously holding on to her Russian Orthodoxy faith and her highly valued mystic healer Rasputin.

Queen Alexandra truly was a long suffering wife of an unfaithful husband. I'm v grateful that would never fly today. It's hard enough living in the goldfish bowl of royalty. Social and familial support is important

One must wonder if Alix was slightly spoiled by her father? I'd read a biography online saying that her father, the Grand Duke Louis IV of Hesse spoiled her a little.

I always liked the sound of her. If I'd had a baby girl, i was thinking of naming her Adelaide after Queen Adelaide.

According to Ingrid of Sweden, Louise was a kind and loving stepmother.

1975-1979 I knew all of Margaret's children except Gustav Aldolf who died 1947. Knew Ingrid and Carl best. ‎Sigvard and Bertil least. They enjoyed playing boules.

In exhile, she eventually had to sell some of her royal jewels saved from the Crimea evacuation. England housed her for a bit before she moved back to Denmark. She never accepted the fact her son was assasinated & always believed he was alive. Incidentally, she really did love her husband even though the marriage was arranged.

I’m proud to be Australian from Irish ancestors. Australia received a lot of United Irishmen as convicts….. including Michael Dwyer. I live in Western Australia and the catalpa escape happened here…. Fenians escaped from prison and they sailed to Boston. Proud to be a Kelly. Our ancestors were strong and they loved Ireland

Mary Adelaide has a look in her eye that suggests she suffered no fools. At other times, her eyes are mirthful. I bet she was a very good friend to have. Thanks for presenting this new information to me. I'm still learning about the satellite Royals from that era.

this video was very useful for studying! very handy for junior cert prep

Rest in peace, beloved one.

Great information- many thanks

These inbreeds do not like producing children with wives.

my irish ancestors on my fathers side came over after the famine they were born in the 1860s and were from, County Armagh, Ireland and county longford on one side and county cork and county mayo on another, both were on my fathers side

thank u for this information, as someone with adhd and learning difficulties your videos have been very helpful in understanding irish heritage and history

thank u this was very educational in understanding my irish heritage and history on both sides

She looks like Miriam margolyes

Thank you for making this video. The daughters of King George II are fascinating figures but they don't seem to get the same amount of attention that the daughters of King George III do. Hopefully, interest in the lives of the princesses of George II will increase. Thanks again for the video.

Thanks Maria. Hope you are well! 💐

WHAT AN UGLY LOAD OF NON-ENGLISH TRIPE THEY ARE.

It's very sad. Most of the royalties, celebrities, the rich are ashamed of any relatives that need special attention. They are so proud, such conditions are a treath to their dignity. I'm proud of Prince John, then his so called parents, relatives who are a disgrace to the world. 🙏

Great work! I find all the names so similar, and confusing🙄 What language did they speak.?

😅

This is my favourite video 😊😊

Fabulous video
