QUEEN MARIE OF ROMANIA | Who Is Romania with Dr Tessa Dunlop | Ep 2

The Queen who risked her life for Romania and pleaded with Britain for help - 'I would have died with our last man - have I not English blood in my veins?’ In 140 years of British-Romanian diplomatic relations, English-born Queen Marie of Romania remains the stand-out personality.
A war hero, an international celebrity and a cultural icon, in episode 2 of Who Is Romania Dr Tessa Dunlop explores the WWI role and legacy of Queen Victoria’s most beautiful, ambitious granddaughter.

She is so loved by the people of Romania that most of the best hospitals are named after her. And she is known as best queen Romania ever had well beyond her husband's fame.

Te admir pentru ceea ce faci! Prezinți adevăratele valori ale României! Respect și apreciere!

[@Maria..Carina-y6x]

Our beloved Queen. There's no one like her.. may her rest in peace. ❤

[@alexgreen8232]

Wonderful, dear Lady. As she portrayed herself at the Paris Peace Conference, while negotiating with Clemenceau for Romania, Queen Marie was a real Lioness, expecting nothings less than the Lion's share. The greatest Romanian figure of the 20th century and the greatest woman in Romanian history.

Tessa, THANK YOU. Thank you for the way you portray my country, for never tiring to show everything that is beautiful, good and sometimes downright funny about us. Your Romanian is impecable and if I had the power I would give you a Romanian passport tomorrow. You are more Romanian than many of us. Thank you. I am very grateful.❤🇬🇧🇹🇩❤

[@romeomarks8344]

Tessa te admir. Este incredibil cum vorbesti romaneste si iti expui punctul de vedere. Esti unul din acei oameni care ai vrea sa comunici cu ei. Bravo.

I'm roumanian and i've been live in UK from a while. The british love more the polish people then roumanians. But England gave only to Roumania a Queen... The Queen Maria saw the real life and power as a country in our peasantry living free...this is what i've learned in the communism time. If i have land where i can be buried in my country , that means i'm Roumanian. Daca am pamant unde sa fiu ingropat in tara mea inseamna ca sunt român. Take this lady... The queen knew this ...

[@sterianburghelea6567]

She loved the country indeed. One of the reason was probably that she was a queen, even of a small country like Romania, than a duchess like her sisters. Few remember her sister, but many know about queen Mary.

[@dand7763]

what small country ? , Romania 1919-1940 was the fifth as large territory in Europe! now we are the ninth in Europe

[@ioana-nicoletagaurean8192]

Love it and your style!!! 😍 Got me all emotional and fired up as if this was the first time I hear about her! Xx

[@fabulouswomeninhistory]

I love the way you present your material. So upbeat and lively. I just did a video on Queen Marie and my style is different but I did so enjoy doing the research and telling about this amazing woman in history. We need more videos about more women and the accomplishments from past to present. Thanks for a great video!

[@keos82]

Lovely piece, thank you Tessa.

[@L2Xenta]

Definitely a very special Queen.

[@gamelover2594]

nice video

[@paulungureanu937]

The most powerful and beautiful Romanian woman, ever. Considerate thoughts of gratitude from a tiny young European nation. Good bless Her Majesty Queen Maria and may God uphold the Romanian Crown.

[@MikeT-TheRetiredColonel]

[@Deasvier34]

You are a true lady,thank you to make such wonderful movies about my country,Romania,without prejudices!

[@Verbsdescribeus]

Thank you, Tessa, for shedding light upon Romanian culture!

[@andreisucuri3762]

How comes that George the fifth and the Tsar look almost exactly the same? Seems like they're twins.

[@mimisor66]

They were first cousins.

[@Chiselnyc]

Her son, Carol II, was an odd, jealous man who treated her own family members badly. He was responsible for efforts to get his Romanian subjects to forget his mother and her great accomplishments. She was much loved by the people, and yet Carol II tried to keep her obscure, and sadly mistreated her so much, the Dowager Queen had to spend much of her later years traveling outside of the county, staying with her daughters in Yugoslavia and Austria and elsewhere for months at a time.

[@codrutmunteanu7954]

BRAVOOOOOOO

[@maktub4172]

She would’ve absolutely hated Brexit.

[@elgee6202]

Why? The EU didn't even exist in her lifetime.

SUPRAFAȚA ROMÂNIEI E CÂT A ANGLIEI!☺️👍 România nu este mică că țară!☺️☺️

[@user-rp8wh2mb8k]

La acea vreme Transilvania încă nu făcea parte din România, de aceea putem spune ca era o țară mică

[@fpostolache]

Well she was english of a german descent. Peles Castle was not constructed with Carol's money: it was the people's taxes. Overall Regina Maria was overpriced: she healed wounded. Rubish !

[@danredes7527]

Her Majesty Queen Maria couldn't speak Romanian because was to hard for her.

[@dand7763]

dar a pus umarul serios la formarea Romaniei Mari pe cale diplomatica cand s-a dus la Conferinta de Pace de la Paris in 1919, cand a pledat tuturor cauza Romaniei ,pt ca a fost foarte aproape sa nu fie recunoscuta Romanai Mare!

[@mushroommagic1697]

Vorbea romana, in liceu am studiat o bucata din jurnalul ei. A citit Poemele Luminii de Lucian Blaga si a vorbit cu el.

[@thedevil6164]

Many peoples aren’t understand what’s happening here you basically criticise Queen Marie and you call her selfish …. !!!!
