The TRAGIC Life and LOSS Of Princess Beatrice of Battenberg

Beatrice was the youngest child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and is often the case with the last child born into a family, they are treated as the baby.
This did not stop her being subjected to her mothers judgement of her children and her domineering behaviour to all she could control. Her life as a princess was no fairy tale, and as many of queen victoria's children and grandchildren she suffered greatly throughout her life.

Well, they weren’t all adults when Albert died. But Victoria did lean on poor Beatrice WAY way too much. All of them who were still at home suffered, but since she was only 4….she got to mourn with her mother the longest.

[@debbieanne7962]

The more your informative videos speak of Queen Victoria the more I dislike her, well as a mother specifically. Princess Beatrice had no idea what happens on one's wedding night? Didn't her mother, siblings or friends inform her? I find it hard to believe! Losing both her husband and son while fighting wars is tragic. I wonder if anyone knows who the last royal was who died fighting? I know Prince Andrew and Harry were involved in wars but they made it back home

[@robynmurray7421]

The brother of King George VI, the Duke of Kent, died in a plane crash while serving in World War II.

[@wuverrabbit]

Most if not all her siblings were far away from her growing up (and i doubt her brother who was still around did much to any to interact with her. Nobody knows if she ever was ever close to Alexandra) already married and gone from her life. I know people IRL who are way to innocent at her own age... So i could easily see her being innocent.

[@mangot589]

@@robynmurray7421 I believe you’re correct🤔, at least a real member of the direct royal family.

[@catherineannelockman3805]

Harry had bodyguards and spent his time playing video games in the bunker...

[@jegsthewegs]

Queen Victoria was an unsuccessful Mother because she had a TERRIBLE childhood. Nobody taught her how to be a full-time Monarch AND be a Mother. She was totally unprepared for adulthood OR Motherhood. Things have changed thank goodness. Fortunate for GEORGE, CHARLOTTE AND LOUIS.

Damn her husband rather go to war then live at home with her and her mother Queen Victoria

[@samanthasmith61]

probably because Queen Victoria was black, she was grandchild of Queen Charlotte

So her brother wanted to sell a house with value to their family just because his sister dropped a prayer book during his coronation? Peak petty 😂

[@RosatheSilvermuse]

Succinct

[@maureenogorman8740]

Not really. He hated that house. Unlike Beatrice he had no happy memories there. Mostly because his parents often went off with the family leave Edward home in the care of a tutor

[@here_we_go_again2571]

@ C.A. Edward vii did not have a very happy youth. (He may have had some sort of learning disability. He was considered "slow") He couldn't keep up with his older sister (Vickie) or his younger brother (Alfred Ernest) Edward's father (Prince-Consort Albert was a strict taskmaster; he hired tutors who were equally severe. Edward "Bertie" vii 's younger brother (Alfred)became the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. (located in what is now modern Germany) Alfred married a Russian princess (i.e. Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia (Alexander ii 's daughter) In the fictional TV series/film "Downton Abby" one of the characters (the Dowager Countess) had (fiction) attended Prince Alfred's wedding in Russia

[@rncine]

Since she was Queen Victoria’s favorite and was given everything while she was alive , after the Queen’s death, when her son became king, he took everything away that was given to Beatrice.

I thought Prince Albert died of Typhoid. This is the first I heard about Crones disease and Sepsis. Anyone else know anything about this?

[@PastPeople]

I have another video that looks at the real cause of prince Albert's death 😊

[@janmac218]

@@PastPeople Thanks. I'll have a look. I've always understood that Queen Victoria blamed their son Edward VII for Albert dying and never forgave him for it. Always interested in the history of this crazy family.

[@sarahsikorski1695]

Nice video. Except some of your sentences have a Emperors New Groove vibe. "Oh, right. The poison. The poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison." Sometimes less is more.

[@maryjoclarke3165]

A queen Victoria may have been a mother she wasn’t

[@ebantink4843]

not much of a Queen either !

[@isabelbarroso3381]

Queen Victoria did not like being pregnant or having children. As a queen she was not much of as she shut herself away when her husband died when she was in her early 40's.

[@fakeyamumba3445]

She didn’t want to have so many children. I think her husband was maybe using pregnancy to try and keep her busy so he could be a defacto king. There were few options for birth control then.

[@RosatheSilvermuse]

Fun way to grow up, not!!

[@lovelydiva06]

These people some weirdos, Victoria was a cold woman who seemed to have some mental issues and jealousy seems to run in that family with this whole obsession with not being what they perceive as someone upstaging them no matter, marrying into royalty may be privelege and perks but it ain’t no fairytale and can drive you mad at least when it comes to the British royal family

[@xdra31]

I really do enjoy your content, as Queen Victoria plus family is one of my favourite subject matters, and I am only trying to be constructive in my criticism, but please can you learn how to pronounce words and names properly. Also, your narrating, in general, leaves a lot to be desired, but I’m sure with some practice you could improve greatly.

Poor neglected woman! :(( Queen Victoria was a very selfish woman indeed and should have allowed Beatrice to live her own life! "Keeping low company" is a phrase I've not heard for a very long time and no, I'm not that old! LOL A kind way of saying sluts!

[@serenawilliams6138]

You’re a little too heavy handed when it comes to Queen Victoria, applying modern standards to Victorian era mores. Why infuse this with your personal prejudices. Victoria didn’t do anything differently than other monarch queens before her and compared to Queen Charlotte, who kept almost all of her daughters at home Victoria was not nearly as possessive. Beatrice was the great destroyer by censoring her mothers journals. It was pretty unfortunate.

[@zzzbbbooo]

Agree about Victoria, but Beatrice was only doing what her mother had instructed her to. She was faithful and obedient to Victoria even after her death.

[@restethics]

Yes, and they discussed forehand what not to publish! To prevent imbeciles doing the same awful stuff to their families. That's why.
