Queen Victoria - Young Princess, Young Queen (2023)

[@sharoncatwoman]

It's very strange seeing random scenes of Tudors acting the roles when this is about Victoria and her family.

[@meghanmisaliar]

Agree. That so weird lol.

[@andrewmedeiros9493]

😂

[@shirleypoirier6506]

I agree with you.

[@ceceehawkins9813]

Poorly done

[@monicacall7532]

Queen Victoria intercut with the Princes in the Tower and the Tudors. Interesting to say the least.

[@MeganThorstensen]

Costumes are randomly off by about 300yrs...

[@dianeallen9466]

I love that the show Victoria is so accurate. Jenna Coleman played Victoria very well. And the writer was mostly on point.

[@retrospectors6595]

This had the potential to be a great documentary! I can't understand why they decided to degrade it by splicing the relevant photos and reenactments with modern stock footage (the woman is wearing pants with a child wearing a baseball cap) and tudor/french reenactments. The narrator's voice was sooooo slow and condescending, it almost sounded artificially created. There was seemingly no concern about checking what the narrator said before or after the lady interviewed, because they almost always said the exact same facts back to back. I understand it's all on the same topic, but similar documentaries will have different speakers giving their personal take on a single fact, whereas here they were just stating the same thing twice with two different people. I definitely appreciate your posting and providing free content. I hope this is only taken as constructive criticism, because I do feel like it would only take a few changes to make this really great.

Well written comment; polite constructive criticism.

[@skontheroad]

There are so many other great ones! This isn't one of them!

[@Stephano_v_Bove__]

Why are there clips of the Tudor-era episodes in this?

[@KathleenSummers-fh5zf]

What are the Tudors doing in a documentary on Queen Victoria??

[@judithglavas9030]

Of course Prince Albert was fluent in German because he was German.

[@dylanthepickle6428]

😂

[@sheyburns8854]

The Windsors are German...Well played...

[@KatBagley-gc1uf]

"Victoria started her education when she was only five" British children today are younger than that when they start school!

[@ElizabethS-wv2ge]

I would think the author meant 3 yo.

[@GavinsMarineMom]

Who John Conroy was a dead-ringer for a young Henry VIII! 😂😂😂😂

[@SkippackCougar]

the costuming is more suited to the time of Louis 14th!

[@olavwilhelm6843]

it's tudor style !!! barocque louis IV is 100 years later !! Don't comment if you can't get it right

[@Chipoo88]

A dependent not dependable relationship. This video would have been really great left to the historians in it. The narrator was surplus to requirements

[@petervisser4910]

Watching a German made film about Victoria,s early years when she becomes queen. Victoria was plaid by Romy Schneider who also plaid in the series Sisi, the empress Elizabeth of Austria.

[@carolmanning8367]

Thank goodness for Lord Melbourne. Also Prince Albert was a good influence for her. What an interesting life that she was born into not asked for.

[@emilykhine3743]

Why are there so many scenes of the Tudors in a Victorian era documentary????!!!! 😆😆🤣🤣😂😂

[@mariavilla5838]

if Victoria and Albert were cousins why was Albert not King instead of her being queen? his father was her mom's brother, so they were both in same family?

[@KA-bv7zg]

Because God wanted to humour Himself

[@eboniestevenson231]

Because the crown was passed to Victoria because of who her father was. Her father was a prince of the previous king.

[@KatBagley-gc1uf]

Because Victoria's Mother married into the British Royal family. Not hard to grasp.

[@eddytriana8060]

Lol dummie

[@carohigh505]

38:40 it's funny that they say "traits that came from HER side of the family" when Queen V and Prince A clearly come from the SAME family! they're first cousins for pete's sake 😂 V and A look like they could be siblings themselves! Poor Bertie

[@michellewheatley2007]

Why do you have a female in an English gable that Anne Bolyen could've worn in the early 1500's when she entered the English court! The Kensington system was smothering, abusive and I am so happy it's not being employed anymore.

[@jdb8171]

WTF? Well, it is free. I guess that reduces the need to be factually correct and accurate given that students may use this as an educational tool.

[@addisonhedger4805]

Complete copy of another Queen Victoria documentary on this page, the narration is poorly done and this whole video is lazily done. Using random scenes from Tudor documentaries does not fit in with victorian fashions.

[@sheyburns8854]

Albert was very handsome 😊

[@skontheroad]

Her relationship with Conroy was NOT dependable! It was DEPENDANT!

[@olavwilhelm6843]

Weirdest Documentary i have seen in a while .... The costumes, the facts ,the sleepy narration ....Prince Albert was fluent in German???? could that be 'cause he was german ?🙂

[@allissonjacobisaacson6190]

Ummm so i just saw some actors wearing really long wigs, and kneehigh tights and shoes with a heel. The male actor. There is no way albert was playing dress up as king charles the second. Stop it. I cant 😂

[@michellemartin7856]

I agree 100% 👍🏻

[@FloridaDumpling]

It’s odd, how all these Tudors were running around Kensington Palace at this time. Did anyone ever notice or say anything, or tell to go back wherever they came from?🤔

[@CaraFay-bf8jk]

Asking for a friend: the audio is about Queen Victoria; but, a lot of the video is about Henry VIII. Has anyone else noticed that?

[@MicahKimani]

Why are there tudor outfits?? 💀

[@LorieEGSinger]

This video is what happens when your editor takes other random videos tagged royalty without checking with a historian. Overall quality is just...sad.

[@worldadventuretravel]

It's astonishing how self-centered this woman was, and how woefully tolerant her country was of it. Nowhere else in the world is anybody able to go on a fifteen year State-funded vacation from their JOB, living lavishly in obscene amounts of wealth and excess, just because their spouse died, and then get treated in history like some sort of deity instead of as a parasite feeding off the system while contributing nothing. As with every failed monarch, their childhood is always sympathetic, because the system of raising aristocrat children was fundamentally toxic and mentally ill in every sense of the world. So of course, by the time one of them rises to power, they have a tormented psyche. Sad as that is, it does not excuse the ways in which they take it out on their country. Victoria was a terrible mother and grandmother. Just the statement she made to Leopold about intending to drown her child if it was born a girl and that babies are nothing more than plants tells you everything you need to know. Had birth control existed then where she could have enjoyed her sex life with Albert without the predictable outcomes, it is certain she never would have had all those children. But then there is the way she treated "Bertie" as mentioned here, scapegoated one of her children to the Germans and let him take the fall for it, and disappeared the disabled grandson nobody even talks about. Then there's her failure to make life any better for women. In her own words, she didn't want to be owned or controlled by a man, which means she knew full well how the system in her country worked. Yet she only cared about having her own autonomy rather than using her power to change that system for all of the other women who were her subjects. But worst of all is the sin of imperialism. There's nothing good to be said about empires, especially not the British empire, nor about the monarchic system of governance as a whole. In fact, she chose to support the racist, colonialist prime minister Disraeli and his reprehensible agenda for the country over the humanist Gladstone who wanted to make peoples' lives better, all because Disraeli flattered her ego and made her feel good about herself. Every British documentary on the monarchy loves to make excuses for and glorify the empire, skating right over the genocidal human rights abuses and exploitation of labor and resources that happened all over the world at the hands of the Brits every single day. In fact, the entire history of European monarchies is a categorical failure if you measure it by the one and only metric that should matter: Did they make the lives of the working classes and the poor better, or worse? From one English ruler to the next, the answer is always "worse." Just keep in mind how bourgeois these documentarians really are. They are useful to some extent if you're interested in history, but their ultimate aim is always to uphold and propagandize for colonialism, empire, and the power of the ruling classes.

[@mrskenscott9643]

What's up with the Tudors. That was 300 years before Victoria.

[@dionnegonsalves8188]

Very poor editing here, random costumes popping up!... sort it out! 🙄 Tut-tut!!🤔... messy & shabbily put together.

Not in the UK. The government pay state benefits paid by the tax payer and the local councils provide housing....in fact people claiming off the state here are usually better off than someone who works full time! We also get free health care thanks to the NHS.

[@evelynxo3456]

@@KatBagley-gc1uf "people claiming off the state here are usually better off than someone who works full time" is not accurate at all. I suggest you read Breadline Britain.

[@KatBagley-gc1uf]

@@evelynxo3456 yes it is for certain people. my sister in law gets £200 a month more in universal credit than her partner who works full time. My aunt also works for DWP and has said the same. I earn quite a bit less than people on benefits too.

[@denamillet3046]

This misses the mark. Good information, but the stock footage is of Tudor-era, costumes, people, etc.

[@krisoverby2914]

This film is a mess! Random scenes from the Tudor era more than 400years before Queen Victoria. Obviously the main track was copied from elsewhere and an American with no knowledge of history edited this mess.

Narrator is awful. Turned off in 45 seconds
