Victoria and Albert were both mostly German and he was raised as a German Prince. Several of the kids married German princes and princesses because they had so many principalities there there was a lot of German Royals given the circumstances it's probably not surprising. In 1918 the German royalty was abolished, but when the Nazis came in and took over a lot of the German princes thought that this would bring a new resurgence a German royalty and some of them signed on with Hitler

Queen Mary was interested in the history of the royal collection. When her husband, George V came to the throne, it is said she went through all the old inventories and discovered that many items that have previously been put on loan have not been returned to the royal collection. She simply demanded theses items be returned.

ScarletFBL But that is only propaganda. All of Germany adored Wilhelm's father Friedrich. He was a war hero, was highly intelligent, and was said to have had a winning personality. It was public knowledge that his wife loved him deeply. Now princess Victoria, Wilhelm's mother, had insisted on a British doctor at Wilhelm's birth. He injured and ruined Wilhelm's arm beond repair. The second time, Victoria insisted on a British doctor, she killed her husband by doing so. Friedrich's German doctors wanted to remove his throat cancer as soon as they had diagnosed it, but the British doctor promised cure without surgery until it was too late. In fact, this British doctor brought a jounalist to the bed of dying Friedrich. Wilhelm was in the room and kicked out both of them, doctor and journalist. He tells this story at lengths in the first part of his autobiography, and you can still sense his outrage when he does. But at no time you will read one bad word about his mother. He always speaks of her with fondness and respect! Oh I forgott: Wilhelm's parents were liberal, but due to the few days of their reign, they never got the chance to rule. No, the freedom of science, and the social revolution in Germany, turning Germany into the richest and most advanced of all countries was solely Wilhelm's work. That was also the reason why he had to go. After all, how were various governments to explain to their workers the benefits of the German worker: no hire and fire, retirement, healthcare, prohibition of child work. To this day, Germany still profits from his reforms!

Queen Mary was NOT a kleptomaniac. She did not point things out at people's houses and say, "I'll have that, thank you." What she did was, upon noticing a missing piece of a the Royal property in someone else's house, write to the mistress or master of that house requesting the item be returned to the palace. Given nearly all those items of property had been illegally given away by Royal family members who had no right to do that, or they had been lost in gambling, she was acting legally and socially in the right. Queen Mary is responsible for having restored very historically important Royal collections. She was NOT "a notorious kleptomaniac".

Why does nobody talk about King George V at all?? Why is he so underrated? People talk about his cousins, his father, his wife, his sons but not him. He is so little talked about and so underrated even though he accomplished great things. Why?

Where she has been dubbed 'Europes Grandmother', King Christian X of Denmark was dubbed 'Father in Law of Europe'

I absolutely love your channel. Your voice is so calming

This is a very well presented and summarised video which identifies clearly whose offspring each of the grandchildren were. Also very informative in the short space of the video. Looking forward to viewing the next instalment.

I love this videos! I wish you were my history teacher in school I would have learned so much back then! I can't wait to see the next ones!

I wonder if Edward had been able to take advantage of the ADD/ADHD diagnosis/treatments we have today, what he would have been like as king.

Omg I've been waiting for this ♥️

Ben Taylor - That’s what I told my wife last night.

I absolutely love your channel! Keep up the good work 😁

This is so interesting to me! Glad your channel exists to inform about the monarchies!

Thank you so much for all the work you have put into this video. So interesting ❤ Watching from Quebec, Canada!

I need to correct my dear. When it comes to Maud and Carl of Denmark, Norway desolved its union with Sweden. Haakon VII was at that time the only king elected by the people of the nation he was to be the figure head of. Yes, Maud had a very slim waist, 33cm I have heard. You are doing a good job, so keep it up!

Queen Mary was anything BUT a kleptomaniac. During the reigns of George IV up to Edward VII, many items in the royal collection were loaned to noble families across the country. Queen Mary was interested in the history of the royal collection. When her husband, George V came to the throne, it is said she went through all the old inventories and discovered that many items that have previously been put on loan have not been returned to the royal collection. She simply demanded these items be returned.

Thank you for all the marvelous history telling.

For some reason your videos help me fall asleep really quickly!! Your voice is so calming and easy to listen to (,:

congrats on taking up such a difficult story to tell, there's so many!!! can't wait to watch. i respect how well you compile everything!

OMG why are they so beautiful!!! I need their clothes!

They were ROYALE family so chil

I very much enjoyed this one and look forward to the others. Going to check your list now for other interesting histories. Cheers.

You forget to mention Wilhelm II was an outspoken anti-Nazi. He did not support the Nazis as he was a monarchist and the monarchists hated him. He congratulated Hitler on Germany's early conquests in the war because he saw his home nation pulled from the darkness and actually winning again, especially with defeating his old rivals, the French. He died in 1941, well before the crimes of the Nazis were even known.

I absolutely love this series! Thank you so much for the uploads, and I can't wait for the next episode!

Looking forward to parts 2 & 3. Good stuff. Btw, looking at the children of George V, I’m thinking they got some of that Mary Teck part of the gene pool and therefore passed that onto Elizabeth II lol

At 13:52, you say that Parliament broke de union between Norway and Denmark, but the union was between Sweden and Norway. Thus, Oscar II of Sweden abdicated the throne of Norway, and Carl of Denmark became King Haakon VII of Norway.

Thank you for starting with my Good Cousin, always nice to see that branch of the family getting recognition, even if we lost.

The amount of incest makes me uncomfortable

Actually people pretty much know that Charlotte suffered from porphyria because they did a genetic test on her remains.

Queen Victoria Definitely Has A Lot Of Grandchildren. Who Agrees To This Sentence? Linsday Holiday I Love your Videos Thank You For Putting A Lot Of History Stuff.

Their is this one members of the British royal family who is kinda distant but this part of the royal. She look just like her, like a modern version of Victoria face

Love this. Can't wait for episodes 2 and 3

So much research went into creating these videos. I find myself pausing the videos to do additional research or read additional content into the main subjects or people or situations the narrator mentioned in passing. Kudos Lindsay. I'm fascinated with World History particularly monarchies, empires, dictatorships and governments.

The Lusitania had military weapons on it so it's unfair to claim the ship was civilian.

@@hisexcellencypresidentofre4118 You can read it by going to a simple Wikipedia article about the ship. This is not a conspiracy theory, lmao, this is recorded history. The ship had a cargo manifest that clearly lists war materials, it was not kept secret. You will probably be shocked to know that Lusitania was also officially listed by the Royal Navy as an auxiliary cruiser in the 1914 edition of "Jane's All the World's Fighting Ships" (same as Mauretania). It was a *declared* military vessel, and thus a legitimate target. Furthermore, German diplomats in the US clearly and publicly (they actually had this printed in US newspapers) stated that any Americans travelling on British ships will be doing it at their own risk. Most Americans ignored this warning (again, something that you can find on Wikipedia, of all places, so I really do not get the "what is this conspiracy talk" twist you are trying to make).

The bias she has against Germany and it's royal house is astounding

Amaaaazzing video but one thing- Home Rule did not make Ireland its own nation- it didn't actually really happen because of WW1... Hence the 1916 Rising and then thereafter the War of Independence, Civil War etc etc etc. Phew!

13:31 all I could think was she’s a real life Cottagecore Princess But considering how some of her other relatives lives went, this seems like such a calm and peaceful way to live out your life

I love your interesting and informative videos, thank you!

Wait. I knew that George V was Victoria's grandson, but I was shocked when I realized that Wilhelm II is also her grandson! What a surprise! Looks like two cousins started a war

That's true. Infact the British king, the German Kaiser and the Russian Tsarina were all first cousins. In addition to having the Tsarina as a cousin on his father's side I think George V also had the Tsar of Russia as a first cousin on his mother's side.

George V had no say in wars, it was up to the Houses of Parliament to decide.

In Romania mornachy died with king Ferdinand and queen Maria. 😔

Thank you Lindsay Holiday. Impressive presentation

I love these videos! Please keep them coming!

Is it true that one of the reasons Queen Victoria loved the idea of being called Empress of India, was because she couldn’t stand being outranked by her own daughter Victoria who was the Empress of Germany?

@dinoman4655

Pretty much. I think that's the biggest reason why she had the title created.

George V was not boring. He just didnt like parties and going other men's wife. And yes, he was more intelligent than his lethargic brother. Give him credit!

I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation in this video.

Been looking forward to this!
