The newspapers used to cover brides and their weddings. In the early 60’s my Aunt and her friends still described the exact kind of lace when their dresses were wrote about. So it was 20 years later when lace came back in style (Princess Diana) and no one knew how many kinds of lace there is anymore.

Victoria did not wear white because it was a symbol of purity. She wore it because she was promoting the lace making industry and white made the delicate lace work stand out.

At 17:51 That is not Queen Mary's wedding dress; it is a gown for her presentation at court. It also appears again incorrectly.

Though fabric was becoming less expensive with the Industrial Revolution and the rise of mass production via textile factories in Britain, most people could not afford to, nor was it quite yet the custom, to make/buy a dress like that (with that much fabric) and only wear it one time!! So Alexandra reusing her wedding dress would not have been looked at as unusual!!

Queen Mary considered smiling in a photo undignified.

In those days people didn't smile in photographs because they would have to hold it a long time. It took a longer time to expose pictures on to film. It was easier not to smile.

Where is that diamond necklace gifted by the sultan of Turkey? Has anyone ever seen it in modern times?

4:57 in the video, is that Victoria’s ACTUAL dress or a replica???? Does her dress still exist??
@daniakalaina3 ай бұрын
Her dress still exists. It is in the Royal Collection so maybe they don’t want it on display all the time

Queen Victoria requested to be buried in her wedding veil which was a usual custom for Victorian wife burials.

She did, they are a few photos out there. She actually had very good teeth!

With Edward VIII as a son, she probably had little to smile about.

Why are you showing that unadorned dress, not Queen Alexandra's wedding dress, which had lace and several flounces. Get your pictures straight.
@zzzbbbooo8 ай бұрын
It says that Alexandra had her wedding gown transformed into an evening gown so that she could re-wear it. The original no longer exists.

I love Victorias dress but I would wear Alexandra’s dress this very day but the dress on display isn’t pretty at all. The voluminous skirt with zero adornment matched with the ornate bodice is just disjointed.
@annehersey98957 ай бұрын
No, it’s Queen Victoria’s. If you go to 1:34 you’ll see an almost mirror image of it. Same necklace, hair, flowers and veil.

The narration is awful. You contradict yourself and are extremely repetitive. “Her gown had a train although some reports said it had no train.” A few minutes later “Her dress had no train.”

Ya know, this is why we are starting to see pure bred dogs with all KINDS of health problems that are getting WORSE!! We have gotten to the point that you have to travel out of COUNTRY to find another dog of the same breed that has sufficient distance between biological relationships to safely breed them!!! The “royal” families were likewise getting DANGEROUSLY INBRED!!! At least William and harry broke the cycle! I just paused the video and went down a rabbit hole when the narrator said Mary of Teck was granddaughter of George the 3rd!!! Her ancestors were all monarchs of GB going back CENTURIES!!!

Queen Elizabeth II parents were not related also all her and Philip’s kids married people they are not related too. And her and Philip were like third cousins which I believe would not cause any issues as they only share one great set of great grand parents, but you are right that Hapsburg jaw was a great example why you need to not have children with people your closely related too.
