Perhaps if Queen Victoria had found it in her heart to forgive Bertie, or at least not blame him for his father's death, he might now have been so eager to bedhop, and might have been a much happier person throughout his life. The Queen might have been a lot happier too.

Phrenology was quackery, and I would be amazed that any child deprived of parental love and subject to such a rigid and loveless routine would ever turn out normal. The isolation harmed rather than helped this child. Not all the royals were intellectually gifted people. In spite of all this, and in spite of his later rebellious excesses, Edward VII did make some remarkable changes in the diplomatic and social relations between France and England. At least one sword was beaten into a plowshare.

Imagine having parents like Queen Victoria and Prince Albert! Albert was such a prissy tight-ass and Victoria was in his thrall. She caved under his pressure for her to "behave". She had shown signs of having a personality and enjoying social gatherings before her marriage. They weren't bad people I think, but they were products of the time and their peculiar situations as royalty. I've never envied these people. Being a member of a royal family means having no privacy at all. Ever!

Well, many Kings and Queens can make mistakes and some can learn from them, while some of them don't. They're like their people and that's why we are here, on this earth, to learn about our lives and make decisions. Edward VII certainly made a lot of mistakes during his life time.

There was another channel of which I can't remember the name, but it had a 4 part series made by the BBC and narrated by Samuel West about King George V & Queen Mary called The Royals who Rescued the Monarchy. It basically follows the two parts here, but it vanished. I wonder if anyone has any clues?

@MsTruNorth, The romanovs and the house of Saksen-Coburg intermarried through the centuries,thats why the windsors today share so many genes with the romanovs. So beyond the maternal kinship there was an herictical one. But both nicolas and george don't resemble bertie but their maternal grandfather King christopher of danmark,which daughters were all married to the royals of europe.All in sense are related to each other
