I’m fascinated to know if you’ll cover King Christian IX of Denmark, “the Father-in-Law of Europe”, where the monarchs of Denmark, Norway, Spain, Russia, England, Greece, Romania, Belgium, and Luxembourg were all related to him. That and he was very close to marrying Queen Victoria.

You know, i still wish that his grandson Frederick actually ended up ruling Britain. That name would have been a great name to show that they were Germans. RIP to best Prince of Wales.

[@worldinsights930]

He would have probably changed his name for a more "British" one, just like Queen Liz's father, Albert, who took the name George.

[@MichaelTreadwell-jo9bi]

@@mertcanozkan7891 Prince Frederick didn’t get along with his father George II. I think Frederick even joined the political opposition to his father in Parliament. Frederick’s son became the future George III who apparently got along with his father Frederick. That was rare. Most Hanoverian Prince of Wales usually joined the political opposition. George III had tremendous problems with his son the future George IV. Interesting how that seemed to happen. I feel sorry for George III a truly English king who was hard working and had to put up with a rebellion in his American colonies.

I really think the Stuart royal family was the legitimate monarchy in Great Britain. James II was illegally overthrown in 1689. His son who would have been James III had a far better claim to the throne than the Hanoverian George I.

[@dennisboyd4262]

My only issue with that is the Stuarts couldn't truly unite the people.

[@latin504]

What’s illegal about it? If that’s the case, would it have been illegal for Richard III? Henry VII? Or Cornwall?

[@MichaelTreadwell-jo9bi]

@@latin504James II never abdicated the throne. He fled to France probably because he feared for his life. The fact that his father Charles I had been executed was probably why he fled.

[@MichaelTreadwell-jo9bi]

@VersteheNZJames II never abdicated the throne. He fled to France when William of Orange invaded England with his army. The people that invited William were in rebellion against the legitimate monarch James II. His daughter Mary could have refused to participate in the invasion against her father but she sided with her husband William instead. James was probably shocked that his daughter would do such a thing.

[@MichaelTreadwell-jo9bi]

⁠@@dennisboyd4262I see your point. James II had his faults but he was the legitimate monarch who inherited the throne from his brother Charles II. He had an army that he could have used to fight a battle against William of Orange but he fled to France instead. He tried to regain the throne at the Battle of the Boyne but panicked and returned to France. His son made an attempt unsuccessfully and his grandson Charles Stuart came close in 1745 with support from the Scottish Highlanders. I think the Stuarts did have support of the people however James was publicly a Catholic who had a son as his heir who would be Catholic and this did not sit well with some of the people. I see your point though. If James had not fled and fought a battle with his army against William of Orange British history might have been quite different.

[@toddjones2675]

I'm wondering why the narrative referred to George III as his 'great' grandson and not his grandson. Or did I miss something?

[@Yorkiecarlos]

George III was the great grandson of George I. The line of descent goes George I > George II > Frederick, Prince of Wales > George III. Prince Frederick died before his father George II did so George III came to the throne instead

I admire the Georgian dynasty for having refused to learn english, the most primitive language , stupidly complicated through its absurd pronunciation and marked by its lexical poverty .

[@Yorkiecarlos]

​@ezzovonachalm9815 only George I didn't speak English or at least not very well, the other Georgian kings did speak English though

[@worldinsights930]

The fact he didn't speak English was a blessing in disguise. And so was the fact he spent most of the time in Hannover. This allowed Lord Palmerston and the Parliament to develop the current constitutional form of the British monarchy already by the end of the 18th century, with the monarch being a mere figurehead with limited powers. The same didn't happen in France and Continental Europe, and we've seen happened in 1779 and 1848.

[@Yorkiecarlos]

@worldinsights930 Lord Palmerston was a 19th century politican not 18th

[@worldinsights930]

@@Yorkiecarlos you are probably refering to Henry Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston, a British PM in the 19th century. I was refering to their forefathers, the 1st and 2nd Viscounts Palmerston, who were from the Anglo-Irish aristocracy and had fundamental role, alongside Robert Walpole and the first British PMs in the early developments of the constitutional monarchy.
