Queen Victoria's Grandchildren - Part 1 of 3

[@LindsayHoliday]

If you are concerned that I said "the children of Victoria and Edward" I'm speaking of Queen Victoria & Prince Albert's grandchildren who were the children of their two eldest children Victoria, Empress of Germany and of King Edward VII of the UK. Thanks to those who pointed this out to others 😉

Victoria and Albert were both mostly German and he was raised as a German Prince. Several of the kids married German princes and princesses because they had so many principalities there there was a lot of German Royals given the circumstances it's probably not surprising. In 1918 the German royalty was abolished, but when the Nazis came in and took over a lot of the German princes thought that this would bring a new resurgence a German royalty and some of them signed on with Hitler

I like how this video covers psychological aspect and the nature of relationship between parents and children , how traumas passes from mothers to children. It just proves that money does not garantee happiness

[@amalqrunfulah3641]

What does money have to do anything with this ? They’re royals, the amount of duties weighed on them and expectations EVEN WORSE OF ALL reputations really took a toll on mothers. Keep in Mind the everyone married really young especially girls. So of course they weren’t psychologically prepared and with the pressure from all the envious people MANY many royals cracked. Money however I think was the least of their problems.you can have a lovely family, great environment and still be a millionaire.

[@amalqrunfulah3641]

I don’t understand why people with money are directly inlisted as ungrateful or horrible snobs. It’s not like that, you can be happy whether you have money or not. It’s not money that measures happiness, it’s YOU. When these young moms tried to do what they thought was right they were shunned, talked about, humiliated and who knows what else. Their parents mostly didn’t care about them, and they were left to fend of their in-laws at like what 14 or even 15. So obviously they’re going to live horribly and not realize the neglect they applied to their children.

[@annawindlow5828]

Yes, money, position and power does not guarantee happiness. As a matter of fact, I think it guarantees more problems in my opinion.

He was of course murdered by aristocrats led by Prince Felix Yousoupoff, a nephew by marriage of the Czar. And the Czar did of course abdicate not long afterward.

I wondered why Wilhelm hated his parents and turned against them from the last video where he was mentioned (it seemed like he just never liked them because his grandparents were conservative), but the so-called treatment he got both from the physicians and from his mother explains it all.

[@anna-elisabethbender3123]

ScarletFBL But that is only propaganda. All of Germany adored Wilhelm's father Friedrich. He was a war hero, was highly intelligent, and was said to have had a winning personality. It was public knowledge that his wife loved him deeply. Now princess Victoria, Wilhelm's mother, had insisted on a British doctor at Wilhelm's birth. He injured and ruined Wilhelm's arm beond repair. The second time, Victoria insisted on a British doctor, she killed her husband by doing so. Friedrich's German doctors wanted to remove his throat cancer as soon as they had diagnosed it, but the British doctor promised cure without surgery until it was too late. In fact, this British doctor brought a jounalist to the bed of dying Friedrich. Wilhelm was in the room and kicked out both of them, doctor and journalist. He tells this story at lengths in the first part of his autobiography, and you can still sense his outrage when he does. But at no time you will read one bad word about his mother. He always speaks of her with fondness and respect! Oh I forgott: Wilhelm's parents were liberal, but due to the few days of their reign, they never got the chance to rule. No, the freedom of science, and the social revolution in Germany, turning Germany into the richest and most advanced of all countries was solely Wilhelm's work. That was also the reason why he had to go. After all, how were various governments to explain to their workers the benefits of the German worker: no hire and fire, retirement, healthcare, prohibition of child work. To this day, Germany still profits from his reforms!

Queen Mary was NOT a kleptomaniac. She did not point things out at people's houses and say, "I'll have that, thank you." What she did was, upon noticing a missing piece of a the Royal property in someone else's house, write to the mistress or master of that house requesting the item be returned to the palace. Given nearly all those items of property had been illegally given away by Royal family members who had no right to do that, or they had been lost in gambling, she was acting legally and socially in the right. Queen Mary is responsible for having restored very historically important Royal collections. She was NOT "a notorious kleptomaniac".

Haakon VII was at that time the only king elected by the people of the nation he was to be the figure head of. Yes, Maud had a very slim waist, 33cm I have heard. You are doing a good job, so keep it up!

I really appreciate that you used the right map of Morocco and haven't divided the northern part from the southern part of the country.

[@banbasafro]

congrats on taking up such a difficult story to tell, there's so many!!! can't wait to watch. i respect how well you compile everything!

[@onehappydogg]

Thank you for all the marvelous history telling.

[@victoriahagen2392]

13:54 Norway was in a union with Sweden, not Denmark. The Danish-Norwegian union was dissolved in 1814.

[@AtaMarKat]

Thank you for starting with my Good Cousin, always nice to see that branch of the family getting recognition, even if we lost.

[@LizzieMoonGurl]

Amaaaazzing video but one thing- Home Rule did not make Ireland its own nation- it didn't actually really happen because of WW1... Hence the 1916 Rising and then thereafter the War of Independence, Civil War etc etc etc. Phew!

[@FozzQuaker]

Where she has been dubbed 'Europes Grandmother', King Christian X of Denmark was dubbed 'Father in Law of Europe'

[@vanessasoto4046]

Pls do a video about Queens Victoria’s daughter in-laws

[@NinjaArmyGaming]

yeeesss i'm ready for this series!!!!

[@lornacrystal9784]

Thank you for your videos!! I am a history lover and I really enjoy the content that you create!!❤

[@andrewDaMack]

So much research went into creating these videos. I find myself pausing the videos to do additional research or read additional content into the main subjects or people or situations the narrator mentioned in passing. Kudos Lindsay. I'm fascinated with World History particularly monarchies, empires, dictatorships and governments.

[@taylor6311]

After this series you should do all the Kings of France like you did England!!

[@SantiagoDPease]

At 13:52, you say that Parliament broke de union between Norway and Denmark, but the union was between Sweden and Norway. Thus, Oscar II of Sweden abdicated the throne of Norway, and Carl of Denmark became King Haakon VII of Norway.

[@baronvg]

Looking forward to parts 2 & 3. Good stuff. Btw, looking at the children of George V, I’m thinking they got some of that Mary Teck part of the gene pool and therefore passed that onto Elizabeth II lol

[@johnvelo2020]

This is so interesting to me! Glad your channel exists to inform about the monarchies!

[@sparklejumpropequeen8002]

Lindsey: but he was more serious George watching in heaven: that’s me 🤓 Also Lindsey:.......and boring Also George: buhuhuhhuahahah😭😭😭😭 why does she have to be so mean

[@domylovric5600]

I don't need to disrespect the King; he was a devoted father and grandfather.

[@maddi2394]

This is the best history lesson ever!

[@monabohamad2242]

2:22 from around this part and from what I understand Wilhelm II was REALLY disliked by apparently at least his uncle and cousin

[@deusvult8435]

03:51 " easily bent to her will" 14:05 "became a fashion icon with a VERY slim corseted waist" lmao

[@pondpunya4791]

Thailand still has a monarchy, not Myanmar. Your world map is wrong.

[@marcuslaffey1637]

And Thailand's previous monarch, King Bhumipol Adulyadej was born in Cambridge Massachusetts. He was and still is the only monarch to be born in the United States.

[@19jacinta88]

13:10 Norway dissolved their union with Sweden, not Denmark. We were in union with Denmark from 1380 until 1814, after which we were in union with Sweden until 1905 and we elected Prince Carl and Princess Maud as our King and Queen.

[@kdbee6086]

I wonder if Edward had been able to take advantage of the ADD/ADHD diagnosis/treatments we have today, what he would have been like as king.

I love these! Great, interesting information. I’ve always been fascinated by The English Royals. Thank you.

[@monstermuppen]

The Union that were dissolved in 1905 was actually between Norway and Sweden, not Norway and Denmark. Great videos non the less :) /history loving swede

[@inuage93]

Thank you so much for all the work you have put into this video. So interesting ❤ Watching from Quebec, Canada!

[@ladylunaginaofgames40]

Of all the countries to keep their Monarchy, I secretly wished Germany was one

[@Litovskyy]

I hope German Empire will be restored again

[@maggiemae7749]

They do. The house of Hanover

[@Notfallkaramell]

Why? Our monarchs are shit, and the few that stil live... have only titles... but these are more like name add ons, not even real titles.

[@anna-elisabethbender3123]

Luna Royal Games So do I.

[@tusk70]

It is okay for me to fire the german president and I would put a german Kaiser (Hohenzollern) in his place with the same rights.

[@calum5975]

Correction about the map at 0:43, Belgium has a King. I'm not sure why they are not included on that map

[@comradenordmann5145]

12:52 we had a union with Sweden not Denmark

[@KingMias]

wow super educational i love this stuff , it’s just sooo fascinating! to think you are going to grow up and be even a queen consort is awesome 👏🏾 i know those kids were like wow

[@kukalakana]

Actually people pretty much know that Charlotte suffered from porphyria because they did a genetic test on her remains.

[@ladyagnes7781]

Love this. Can't wait for episodes 2 and 3

[@anoniem6924]

Inaccurate. It was not a close friend of Albert Victor that was caught in the male brothel but a namesake. And "probably not culpable".... court circulars from that period proved without a shadow of a doubt, that Albert was nowhere near London at the moment of some of the murders.

[@kimberlyplayer]

Lies to cover up? I know it was him. No doubt in my mind.

[@zzzbbbooo]

@@kimberlyplayer Are you for real???

[@remysimon6819]

Thank you Lindsay Holiday. Impressive presentation
