Queen Victoria's Longest-Lived Grandchildren
The grandchildren of Queen Victoria went on to make dynastic marriages across the royal houses of Europe. Through this Victoria gained herself the nickname “Grandmother of Europe”. Although her reign is mostly associated with the 19th century a great number of her grandchildren saw the second half of the 20th century.

The long corridor, Windsor Castle.
It could be worth mentioning, that Charles Edward is the maternal grandfather of king Carl 16th Gustav of Sweden. And, talking about king Carl 16th Gustav of Sweden, Patricia's sister Margaret is his paternal grandmother - and Patricia's sister Margaret is also maternal grandmother of queen Margrethe 2nd of Denmark.

10:54 That is Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom not Princess Beatrice of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. 11:26 Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg was not the youngest grandchild but the youngest granddaughter as she had younger brothers.
Good to see them in order.
Queen Victoria became Queen in 1837 not 1838.

@@stephaniex90 yes , she ascended the throne in 1837 not 1838 as stated in this clip. The coronation may be 1838 but that’s NOT when she ascended. Hence her golden jubilee in 1887 and diamond jubilee in 1897
The last pic of Pr Beatrice is of her aunt, Princess Beatrice, daughter of Q Victoria.
I see a strong resemblance between Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine and King Charles.

It seems the goal at the time was to keep the Royal Dynasties intact. I suppose there was a limited number of people who were Royal candidates for marriage, so it was, "Yo, cuz, let's get hitched!" 😂

There is a very nice photo of Princess Victoria at King Charles’ christening. She is sitting next to Queen Elizabeth. I believe there are 5 generations in that photo.

Very interesting 🇬🇧
Did the se say Princess Alice was the grandma of Queen Elizabeth and King Gustave? Or did she say grand Aunt?
Queen Victoria was beautiful
In 13:38 the Princess Patricia stood out in the wedding pic. Can anyone tell me why the bride posture is different from everybody? Maybe it is a cut and paste pic?
Victoria of Hesse was also a haemophilia carrier..her great great grandson Felix has the disease. Mossy had 2 sets of twins. One of the twins Christoph was allegedly responsible for bombing Buckingham Palace in WW2 I think you mixed up Beatrice of Edinburgh with Beatrice Battenberg. Ena had 7 children..baby Fernando died soon after birth because of haemophilia.
Because Monarchy Royal Family.. is queen is Elizabeth.. Crowned at early age of 16 years old.. before marry in Franz Baviera and Josef Asburgo..
Alexandra Federovna and Nicholas Yusopov.. are is Queen King of Turkmenistan.. Tatiana Mariana Natasha Natalia Ivan and Igor
Beatriz de Sajonia Coburgo fue prima de Victoria Eugenia de Battemberg y se casó con Alfonso de Orleans Borbón que era primo de Alfonso XIII.
Queen Victoria was a striking pretty young lady of her time.
