The Secret Life of England’s Beloved Duchess | Georgiana Cavendish

[@karaamundson3964]

Georgiana's life has many fascinating parallels with her much-later descendent, Diana Spencer

[@leanie5234]

I have heard that her daughter by Charles Grey is an ancestor of Fergie.

[@jadesancheztaft2508]

Ahhh the aristocracy are ALL related somewhere down the line 😂

[@mauricedavis2160]

Uncanny indeed!!!🙏👍😷

[@notyourbiz235]

But not gambling

[@TheMightyBlackPearl]

I didn't even connect this! But then again, like another said, the aristocracy is all related somewhere down the genetic line. The Monarchies alone...all connected. Even the Queen Consorts' great, great-grandmother had an affair with the King at the time. She was his official mistress. Crazy stuff. Her name was Alice Kepple.

[@CharityMainwaringStrongStories]

I’m sure she felt suffocated being a woman with a passionate personality and so few options. As you said, upper class wives were supposed to have a quiet and retiring life. She clearly made some terrible choices, but she also truly suffered.

[@brendaholliday6866]

I enjoyed this historical video about, Duchess Georgina Cavendish. She had a very fascinating and yet interesting lifestyle, when I heard you speak about the Spencer family, I immediately thought of the late, Princess Diana. It's interesting how their lives were somewhat similar, especially inregards to their marriages. Great investigating and presentation, as always.

[@amandahugginkiss55]

There is a movie made about her called "The Dutchess" ~ you would enjoy it if you found this video interesting. Good day!

Diana would only be a descendant of one of Georgiana's descendants married another Spencer

It was a hard life for that lady, married off as a girl, tragedies with her babies, being born into a certain class may bring some benefits but? 🤔 Excellent stuff, a definite watch again and share, it's always a like. Good wishes to you and followers Worldwide Xxx 🙏🏼 ❤️

[@berenicewaters4096]

A fascinating story of such a beautiful duchess with a sad ending. Thanks for the effort you put into your videos. I love this fascinating romantic period of time wiry its scandals and changes.

[@guestuser1671]

The poor girl might have been borne into wealth and privilege but at that time, a girl had no other prospects in life but to marry the man her parents chose for her. And once married, she was supposed to bear his children and keep her mouth shut. Be pretty and be seen but not heard. The husband on the other hand, had all the rights. He controlled the money and owned the woman completely. Marital abuse was common but not spoken about. A wife had to endure her fate.

[@melindaunknown6411]

It’s still like that where I live in Tennessee.

[@saltycat662]

So true. I felt terrible for her. She was born in an invisible prison. Very sad. She did however have influence and popularity. She had influence over politics the best way she could. That was one of the few positives in her life other than her children.

Oh wow, she had her Birthday ruined by having it made the anniversary of her marriage to a man who abused her and made her unhappy in multiple ways for the rest of her life. Don't EVER do things like that on your B-Day (or on any other holidays), it could turn out really bad in the future.

[@mjai1120]

[@mmyehokayyy2]

Meghan Markle isn’t loved like Diana was because she is an attention seeker who whines about being entitled to everything. Maybe try and look at her as a person and not put her on a pedestal because she is a minority.

[@martinemariemc]

@@mmyehokayyy2 funny that you have the sheer AUDACITY to say that to me. I don't recall EVER putting her on a pedestal, I was simply stating FACTS! Also I do not speak as if I am an authority on her and Harry and how she is all the things you claim her to be. Why don't you tell us the story on how you met her and how you know EVERYTHING about her personality it must be a great read cos you sure as shit basically slandered her like you KNOW her, which for some reason I don't think you do. But it's much easier to be a keyboard gangster, talking shit about some one you don't know, then to say it to their face

Glad you love Georg Jayna! LOL.

[@tango6nf477]

How do we know her name was pronounced in that way? It is certainly spelt Georgiana not Georgeayna and it was not an unusual name in English society of the time when it was universally pronounced Georgiana.

Incredible story ! 🤩

[@neitajames6029]

👍💯❤. I was interested when I heard the name Spencer. Duchess Georgiana Cavendish might had a strange but amazing woman, who went through a lot but overcame. Showing how bold and strong she was. So her husband could have outside children, but she had to leave once again because of that. It took moxie to stand up to being talked about and strong not to let it bother her. She did pass that Boldness and Courage on to Princess,Lady Diana.👍👏👏👏. Both did go through some things. Sad they both died young. Different circumstances but both died much too young. Both were loving mothers. I admire Both Women. Princess Diana is still loved to this day. She earned the title the People Princess. I'm 💯% Positive Duchess Georgiana Cavendish would been proud of Diana. Both left a mark in History.🥰. I'm sure Princess Diana knew this story and probally was Inspired by it. I love stories like this. Thank you for posting and sharing. I love History. I espically love knowing this part. I often visualize these stories as i hear you tell them, that's why i find them interesting. Sometimes my notification get lost. But when i do get to read them i enjoy them.🙂. Please keep sharing them. I do pass them on to those who love History as much as I do. Love peace and Blessings to you..Love,respect and positivity always. 🙂👍💯❤👏✌🧘‍♀️🌻🌷🦋🌠🙏. Neita james. (Nj.).🙂👋.

[@marciatargato8093]

​@tapsars7911 Yes and no at the same time. Both had husbands who used them and mentally abused them. Charles did not ever gave up Carmilla when they got married anyone would act out if their own husband decided to behave like that I personally think that as soon as Charles got married to Diana Carmilla should of stopped seeing him to give the marriage a chance to work out. Georgians husband was really mean as well he should of loved her and shown her a bit more respect to her he should of realised that all she really wanted was the love and respect from her husband. I don't think it would of been easy to be married to either men.

I guess we all see "suffering", differently. I don't hear any suffering until she becomes blind and towards her death, from illness. I suppose if I knew more about her "suffering" from alcoholism as opposed to a woman that liked to drink a lot. It doesn't seem she lost her possessions, homes, clothing, although she owed money. It sounds to me like she was a woman who did what she wanted and got away with it until she was separated from her last child.

Lady Georgiana Cavendish. Her husband was having an affair with Lady Elizabeth Foster, among her addiction to alcohol and gambling. I don't understand WHY she let Bess do all this... Were they really friends when she was committing Adultery with her husband? Bess sounds VERY scheming, I honestly think she was just using her for money. Among other things, its just very odd. I would say that BASICALLY she is like the 18th century equivalent of Princess Diana.
