In many British royal family weddings or funerals, their cousins from German houses like the Hanover, the Saxe Coburg, the Hohenzollern, the Baden have been always invited despite no longer reign because they still have their own organisations that deal with their inheritance to the hereditary titles and estates.

Yes, Lady Davina (not Davinia) has two children, whose father is Maori. Senna was the first person whose place in the succession was directly impacted by the change to Absolute Primogeniture; her younger brother Tane was born after her but did not displace her. Senna is Senna Kowhai (pronounced Korf-eye) and Tane is Tane Mahuta (pronounced Tarn-e (with a short 'e' sound) Mahuta (pronounced Mah-hoo-ta). Incidentally a kowhai is a tree with beautiful yellow bell-shaped flowers and Tane Mahuta is the Maori God of the Forest, as well as a specific giant totara tree in the Northland forest in New Zealand. Kia ora!

There were a few inaccuracies in this video 1. The Commonwealth is more than just the countries that have the British Monarch. South Africa, a republic, is part of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth isn't just the countries that the British Monarch is the head of state for; it's more a loose association of countries that have large British influence. King Charles III is only head of the Commonwealth because they agreed he would be 2. The pronunciation of Rothesay. It's pronounced ROTH-see 3. The names of the monarchs aren't automatic. When ascending the throne, the monarch is allowed to choose any of his/her names to be his/her official name. Example: King George VI went by Prince Albert until he became King as well as Queen Victoria having gone by Alexandrina until she became Queen.

Small note: Queen Victoria had no _full_ siblings, i.e. no siblings who had the same mother (Victoria of Saxe-Coberg-Saalfeld) and father (Edward, Duke of Kent & Strathearn) as she did. She did, however, have two half siblings from her mother's first marriage to Emich Karl, Prince of Leiningen, Carl (Prince of Leiningen after his father died in 1814) and Feodora (Princess of Hohenlohe-Langenburg). Everyone seems to forget about her two (German!) older half siblings, and that she was raised with her first language being German, until John Conroy realised how bad it would look if a future monarch (that they were trying to distance from the licentious, improvident Georgians, aka her grandparents, uncles, &c, who were much hated for being so very German and _"un-English")_ to retain the German-ness, via her accent, that was a calling card of her predecessors. That said, she and Albert preferred to converse in German, as she was very much a native speaker. (People tend to forget that the reason Prussia and all those minor german states and monarchies existed is that Germany is _a lot fekning bigger than the UK,_ especially England alone (because the world seems to forget that Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland are wholeass different countries to England, and "British" is not really an identity-well, it is, but it's like when you realise that "American", whilst usually used to refer to the people of the USA, can technically include any country south of-and including-Canada). Anyway, TL;DR: Victoria wasn't an only child, and please stop claiming she was.

Congratulations on a splendid explanation of the Line of Succession. I wanted to point out two things: (i) The Reformed Succession to the Crown Act 2013 removed the disqualification of Royal Family members marrying Roman Catholics, thus Royals who had married Roman Catholics, but who themselves had not converted to Roman Catholicsm, were reinstated to the Line of Succession eg HRH Prince Michael of Kent. (ii) Prior to her marriage with Peter Phillips (The Late Queen`s first grandson) in 2008, Autumn Kelly converted to the Church of England, ensuring her husband did not lose his place in the Line of Succession. The Reformed Succesion to the Crown Act 2013 was irrelevant in this instance, as it did not exist.

Defender of the Faith was a title Pope Leo X gave to Henry VIII back in 1521 for his defense of the Roman Catholic Church against the threat posed by Martin Luther. It represented Henry's piety and loyalty to the Church. When Henry broke with the Catholic Church and established the Church of England with himself as its head, he kept the title. It has been passed down to every Monarch since 1544.

Henry VII himself was not illegitimate. His line or right to the throne came through his mother Margret Beaufort who's line was Illegitimate but was legitimized but barred from the throne.

A clarification about the accession of Queen Victoria. She was not an only child. She was her mother's third and youngest child; her older brother was the Prince of Leiningen and her older sister the Princess-consort of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. Victoria succeeded because her father the Duke of Kent fathered no legitimate sons.

Henry VIII did not create the title “Defender of the Faith” for himself. He was awarded the title in 1521 by Pope Leo X.

Also their names are pronounced "senn-ah" and "tah-nay" You're missing the flat accent (ā) in Tāne's name. Their mother's name is Davina, not Davinia. You've also got Edward listed as Duke of Cambridge for some reason.

Imagine Meghan Markle as new queen consort of England - which is not completely impossible, suppose Prince William and his children die together in a plane crash.

The Duchess of Kent retired from official duties some years ago and then converted to Catholicism, which is probably why her children and some grandchildren are catholic. The Duke of Kent continued to carry out official duties including giving out the Wimbledon trophies until 2021 when Catherine took over as patron to the All England Club. He was the chancellor of the University of Surrey when I was a student there some 20 years ago. The Duke of Gloucester still carries out official duties and he walked behind the Queen’s coffin during the procession to lying to state and the processions for her funeral.

Hopefully Parliament with change the statute to address the "Counsellor of State" problem inherited by the King.

This was amazing & very informative. Thank you 🙏🙏💜💜👏👏🔥🔥💪💪

This was a great video. Thank you !!

Considering William's significant popularity in the UK I don't think Wales is going to vote to bar him from being their prince of Wales and I predict that as long as he behaves himself, and all indications thus far is that he will, George will also not be barred from being Prince of Wales by the Welsh people. Though I think it would help matters if George had some Welsh ancestry. He probably does as most Brits have at least a little Welsh DNA.

Since Henry VII, all monarchs have Welsh blood, even James VI and I (Scotland and England) has Welsh blood being the great-great-grandson of Henry VII. So... meh! Oh, and I'm Welsh. I'm fine with it. Kinda. My family is descended from Llewelyn the Great. So... I'd not mind them throwing the title away in my direction... but that's not going to happen, lol.

Thank you so much for your videos! I would love to learn more about other current queens, like the queen of Denmark. 😊

One interesting fact about Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II is that she is an amateur Tolkien scholar, loves "The Lord of The Rings" and herself translated the entire series from English to Danish.

You are really good at this. Wonderful video

Thank u that was so interesting. Explained things far clearer than anyone else has thus far. Glad the ladies finally get a proper look in. Particularly grateful for our very much missed late Queen Elizabeth II. I wish the rule change had allowed for Anne to succeed. Although I think she is probably far happier in her close support role and less pressure on her children. And no shade to King Charles III, he has come into his own with Queen Camilla 's essential support. And Prince William and Princess Kate are, God bless them, the best to come forward to match and serve all our peoples.

I watched a series on KZread recently which you can find by searching "The Father-in-Law of Europe. It follows the line of King Christian IX of Denmark, Queen Margrethe's Great,Great,Grandfather, who's 6 children all married into royal houses all over Europe. It's a fascinating series that follows each of his children's descendants down to the present (or nearly) day. Of course, many of the children's children became Kings or Queens themselves, including Queen Alexandra of UK, Queen Maria Fedorova (Dagmar) of Russia, plus the monarchs of Sweden, Norway, etc. It gets rather confusing, but a genealogical tree, such as you've provided here, would be most helpful. Just an idea for your channel. I've watched the series several times, and it never fails to enthrall, because the descendants tell the family stories in their own words.

Hello Mary, how are you doing.

The title "Defender of the Faith" was awarded to Henry VIII by the Pope when Henry wrote a rebuttal to Martin Luther in the 1520s. "Defensor Fidei" was not a title created by Henry VII, he just continued to use it in the Anglican Church and passed it down to protestant rulers.

@CatholicTraditional

Жыл бұрын

Correct. Many previous English Kings also were granted this title by Popes.

I doubt very much that Prince Louis will received the traditional title of the second son of a monarch, Duke of York, given Andrew's legacy. But I'd be willing to bet that Charles III's decision to give the title of Duke of Edinburgh to Prince Edward was a clever bit of future planning. Most likely Edward will have passed on by the time Louis would be thinking of getting married, and as the title will not be inherited by Edward's son, James, that title would be available for Louis instead of Duke of York.

Lots of English people have some Royal Blood on them. Well, counting how much Charlie #2 and Edward #7 played around, I can believe that. Maybe you should make a video about Charles II and the Girls, and how, even when he didn't have any legitimate children and the crown passed to his brother, his lineage will be reinstated on the throne once William is King as Diana actually descended from one, maybe two, of Charles II's illegitimate lines.

Prince Michael of Kent lost his position in the succession when he married the Catholic Marie (current Princess Michael of Kent). When Queen Elizabeth changed the Letters Patent before the birth of Prince George, the rule about marrying a Catholic was changed which reinstated Prince Michael. However, although someone in the succession can marry a Catholic and retain their place in the queue, no Catholic can be King or Queen.

Just about the level for most of the royals, the only ones who actually put their lives on the line for their Queen are Harry and Andrew. They actually earned some of their medals.

6:17 I would like to point out, that William IV did indeed have living children, they were just not from his queen, but from his mistress of decades, and as such they were not eligible to inherit. 8:45 Yes, the heir to the Swedish throne is Victoria, and after her comes her daughter Estelle. The next Norwegian monarch will be male, but after him his daughter Ingrid will be Queen. In The Netherlands the heir is Catharina-Amalia. In Belgium the heir is Elisabeth. And in Spain, the last European monarchy with male primogeniture, the heir is Leonor, as she has no brothers. So at this point, we can already predict the next 6 Queens regnant. 25:04 Yeah, between the 13 legitimate children and who knows how many illegitimate, Edward III spread himself around, as did the next many generations. Or as the wiki page on descendants of Edward III states: "According to British geneticist Adam Rutherford, it is "virtually impossible" that a person with a predominantly British ancestry is not descended from Edward III.[2] He has calculated that "almost every Briton" is "descended between 21 and 24 generations from Edward III"." So u dont even need a family tree to claim that 😉

Both my parents are approx. 20th cousins since they both have Edward III as their (unverified) ancestor on their English family sides. Possibly through illegitimate kids, too. This is despite my Mom's heritage being predominantly German and Dad's 50% German/French Huguenot. Someone did a statistical calculation once that basically said everyone in Western Europe could trace some portion of their ancestry back to, say, Charlemagne. Probably if you added the proviso that all your grandparents (or great-grandparents?) were born there, this could be true, with a few exceptional outliers.

This is a nice example of making it up as you go.

Wonderful tutorial on this very interesting subject.

in Portuguese peerage 3 female breaks are allowed until the title reverts to the Crown, so - under that rule - Princess Beatrix, Lady Sienna would be Duchesses of York, then, if Lady Sienna only has daughters, her 1st daughter would be the last Duchess of York, but, if she has sons, the dukedom would descend in the male line until a 4th daughter without brothers isn't allowed to inherit it.
