Alexandra of Mecklenburg-Schwerin's Tiara: Part 1

[@DollsAndSpooks]

Very, very good video. Your voice is like ASMR and these are not very famous royals like Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, and the like. I am happy that through you, we are able to know more about them.

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

Thank you - that means so much to me! It's exactly why I pick women without a lot of information on them...I want to tell the stories that haven't been told dozens or hundreds of times before. These less-famous royals deserve a little love, too. ❤️

[@DollsAndSpooks]

@@TheGirlintheTiara Agree! Most of them seem to have lead very interesting lives.

[@annnee6818]

@@TheGirlintheTiara I love that. I always wonder what happened to the people that make brief appearances in more famous people's lives but there's very little to find about them

[@susanh.352]

You have done an absolute wonderful job narrating this story. I imagine you spent many long countless hour's doing research. It shows. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Happy Holiday's.🍷🍷🎄

[@bcarr5163]

You have a lovely speaking voice. And I do like that you caption the photos. A pleasure to watch. Thank you.

[@sandrabentley8111]

Beautifully narrated. Love your videos. Learn so much.

[@reneeprager9413]

I love how you tell the story, can't wait for the second half!

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

Thank you - that means so much to me! The second half is going to get a little crazy. I can't wait to share it with you. :)

This is better than a storybook. Very fascinating

What a beautiful story, and a beautiful narrative.

My great grandfather was from Mecklenburg! My grandfathers was named Ernst August too. But he lived in an adobe house on the Dakota prairie. Still waaay cool video. Thanks!

Thank you for another fascinating video. At the begining I had never heard of Alexandra of Mecklenburg-Schwerin but by the end I was heavily invested in her story. I look forward to the next part with bated breath.

You have a beautiful voice! I am really looking forward to part 2!!

Very well narrated! Kept me watching! Plus the subject matter is excellent, but i got a little lost, so will rewatch.

[@edwardhausfeld]

Love the dry comments! Especially about who was "pissed" at whom! This is the nitty gritty that the the grand sweep of historical narration misses! Never knew (or cared) what happened to the kingdom of Hannover after George IV.

[@simonedevlin7710]

Thank you for these genuine stories of little known or forgotten royal family women. It has helped me understand how the royals intermarried and answered many questions I have had about my historical French, Dutch, German ancestry.

[@deannairvine6123]

Some time ago (weeks, months????) I saw a KZbin video of a woman in England who collects replicas of royal crowns. I must say, they would be good enough for me!!! Seems like they were in the $200-$500 range and looked very convincing.

I’m offended by your comment on Franz -Josefs smile being creepy. This wasn’t necessary.

[@DollsAndSpooks]

It was creepy. And it was her opinion and her video. I find it odd that you are offended by that.

[@inaleyen2737]

Your videos are very good. They would be excellent if you would curb your impulse to use phrases like "pissed off", "jerk", etc., and make dismissive, impertinent comments. You pronunciation of Thyra and August is a tiny bit off.

[@TheGirlintheTiara]

Thanks for the feedback - I appreciate it! I struggled with the German pronunciations in this video, that's for sure. The pronunciation of Thyra I attempted to use comes straight from members of the Danish royal family - that's how they pronounced her name in the documentary, "A Royal Family." They talk about Thyra in episode 6 - it's available here on KZbin. I may not have replicated it exactly as they pronounced it, but that's what I was going for.

[@inaleyen2737]

@@TheGirlintheTiara In the documentary you will hear Count Rosenborg pronounce "Thyra" at 7:44. I recommend that you watch a KZbin video called "How to pronounce the Danish Vowel Y". (It is really rather easy!) It will help you with at least one German umlaut. In German, the first syllable of the name August is stressed. These are minor points. With a bit of help and practice, your pronunciation will soon become flawless. Keep up the good work.

[@IamMinnie90]

I think the phrases you don’t like are very much needed to bring some light heartedness, personality and general FUN to these videos which already carry so much heavy information. I personally welcome the humor 💯
