Did u know that Romanovs are relatives to grandfather of Elizabeth II????

[@hansrover3492]

@@WOLF4WOLF Yeah. King George V of the UK and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia were cousins through their Danish mothers. The Tsar's wife was also related to the current British Royals because she was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria.

[@WOLF4WOLF]

@@hansrover3492 Yes, yes, thx for reminding, but anyway they are distant relatives, isn't it?

[@hansrover3492]

@@WOLF4WOLF If we are talking about Queen Elizabeth II and the last Romanov family who were executed, then yes. However, they still have that blood connection. As said, Tsar Nicholas and the grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II (George V) were first cousins. The Tsar's daughters are the 2nd cousins once removed of the Queen through their Danish blood and at the same time through Queen Victoria as well. The family of Tsar Nicholas II were close to their British relatives. Him, his wife and their children were all fluent English and even spoke with a mixture of English and Scottish accents (according to multiple sources). They also occasionally wrote to their relatives in Britain when they were still alive.

Cool vid but you seem to have mixed up your “Richard of York”s. Perkin Warbeck wasnt pretending to be THAT Richard, but his grandson....who was also named Richard of York. But this Richard was the second son of the previous king who hadn’t been seen since being locked in the Tower of London as a child by his uncle, Richard III. People believed Warbeck bc no one had seen Prince Richard since he was a child and the king never admitted to killing him

Right, ok. The Perkin Warbeck story here is mixed up. Richard of York was the son of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville. He didn't strike a deal about ruling after Henry VI because Henry VI was already long dead by the time Richard was born. He was supposed to the youngest brother of Henry VII's wife: Elizabeth of York. And he didn't die in battle, he and his older brother Edward were The Princes In The Tower. They disappeared and died under mysterious circumstances in The Tower of London. And Warbeck wasn't hung but beheaded. Jesus, have some accuracy.

I don’t know why people thought Alexei survived & lived a full life. He was a hemophiliac and would have died young regardless. He had the worst case of hemophilia known to medicine.
