Oh I LOVE this lady. She is soooo interesting. Thank you Susan Dossetter for all your dedicated research and sharing with the public. I'm not even a doll collector but I've been loving these videos.

You are so welcome! Gad you enjoyed this!

So marvelous! I remember the dolls' houses from a previous convention and it is great to see Susan speaking again! What a marvelous doll! One note: the miniature maps of England and Scotland are oriented with the East at the top, instead of the North. This was a normal European way of designing "world" maps in the Middle Ages, before exploration made it clear that there was a whole lot more to the world than the Mediterranean. I did not know that maps from the 18th century would be made with this orientation (orient=East).

[@crowznest438]

That's a fun fact to know!

A most wonderful and comprehensively prepared presentation. What a FASCINATING little Prince you have, tragic, sinister and oh so TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL with all his little accoutrements. It has been an absolute DELIGHT to hear you speak so knowledgably and passionately again. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Thank you for watching and for your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed this!

You and your Little Prince Charlie are fantastic. I’m related to the Stuart line. My Grandfather immigrated to Canada from Scotland. My Father loved Bonnie Prince Charlie. We still make the Christmas pudding and have bashed neeps for Christmas dinner. It is mashed rutabegas eaten with the haggas dinner. Your knowledge of the history is fantastic. Are you Scottish? My Grandmother was a Stuart.

Thank you for sharing these treasures, Susan. I learned so much!

This is an absolutely fabulous presentation. Worth the price of admission to the virtual doll show! Susan, I actually have a blanket (they call it a "rug") of Balmoral plaid. Happy to share a photo if you are interested. I love all of your sub collections. I have many of these too and Queen Victoria is one. Thank you for all of your efforts in sharing your amazing collection.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Wow, thank you!

[@judyannlemay618]

Susan Dossetter is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Her Knowledge & Her LOVE of Her Treasured Dolls is So Heart Warming!! She could Teach a Class on History…Her Bonnie Prince Charlie is Teachers Pet ;] Right?? So Adorable…GOD BLES

[@wantingoneangel8976]

WOW:)!! Rachel, I have learned so much about British History:)!! I have heard of the Jacobites, but I did not know about all this History, other than King Henry the 8th bring Protestantism to England. I so LOVE that Prince Boonie Charles ( the young pretender) and his yellow quartz stone on his derk with his other sword's lighter hilt:)! I also LOVED the the antique clothing and the beaded flowers, symbolizing the Jacobites:)!! And his Medallion with the Red X was interesting as much as his gorgeous pocket watch with his Fleur De Le France Symbol:)!! And I was so impressed by that mystery chest with those gorgeous lace medieval baby gloves and other intricate lace patterns:)!! And while I was taking in all this history, I kept thinking I can see why our Forefathers of the Constitution of United States wanted in power a "separation of Church and State" considering all the battles over religion in English history. Thank you so much, Susan Dossetter for sharing your beautiful Boonie Prince Charles Doll and giving us a detailed history lesson on England and the Jacobites:)!! And thank you Rachel for having Susan Dossetter as one of your many awesome Doll Collectors on your Channel:)!!!

So many treasures ! I agree, dolls can open many doors,including the door to history. Congratulations for your royal male doll,all the other precious accessories and all your historical research. Very educative. I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Yes, thank you

[@janegagner2049]

What an incredible doll's collection. All the bits to add to a singular, and very special doll, adds to increase the beauty...not just a doll but the whole world of the doll. Okay, so not so well said, here. But I loved this. It's a part of history I know well and to see the real artifacts with it makes it all the more special to see. Thank you so much! I'd actually love to hear the history of the doll itself, now. :)

[@wolfiwonka]

Bonnie prince Charlie and the Jacobites. That’d be a great punk band name.

[@daisydodoshouse3360]

Amazing. Thank you so much.

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

Glad you liked it!

[@crowznest438]

I was interested in commentary about the stockings. I can't see well enough to tell if they are plaid, faded...but the same tartan as the red?

[@RachelHoffmanDolls]

I’m not sure, I’ll check out the video and see if I remember. Thanks for tuning in!!
