I mean he really hated his sister in law, so yes.

Actually, Queen Adelaide was able bear King William heirs. She gave birth to two daughters, but both died in infancy. If either of them had survived and grown up, Victoria would never have become queen. In fact, that’s the reason that the two Victorias were so underfunded. It was thought that Queen Adelaide would produce an heir that would knock little Victoria out of the line of succession. When it became obvious just she wouldn’t, that was when they started finding Victoria and educating her to be a monarch. I find it fascinating that if either of King Williams daughters had lived, Great Britain would have had a totally different line of monarchs and none of the actual monarchs would ever have been born.

I bet this has happend previously to Victoria as well

Two things: One is that from the start, the Duke of Kent had been an extraordinarily doting father to Vic (especially for those times) and wasn't the least disappointed in her gender. He told everyone to take good care of her since SHE (the-then 5th in line) was their future Queen). Moreover,he himself had been told that he'd be the father of 'a great queen' by a Romani woman fortune teller while he had been posted in Gibraltar. Secondly, the newly widowed and indebted spendthrift Duchess HAD considered returning to Germany but one thing that somewhat tipped the balance in remaining in England was her brother Prince Leopold's providing 3000 Pounds per year out of his 50,000 Pound stipend that he was still receiving for having been the husband of the tragically deceased heiress presumptive Princess Charlotte of Wales (and he'd still receive it at least until 1830 when he opted to become King of the Belgians and quickly married Princess Louise of France).

@@emilybarclay8831 Not entirely true! Yes, after a quarter century of openly living with a childless mistress, after Princess Charlotte's death wiped out the next generation of heirs after George III's offspring, the Duke of Kent quickly dumped the mistress, married a much-younger widowed Continental princess in order to have have a marital heir and an increased stipend. Since Prince Edward of Kent HAD been recorded as having had a nonmarital child by a servant (who'd died in childbirth) decades before and he knew that Victoire, the Dowager Princess of Leiningen had safely borne two children, he knew this would greatly increase his chances of having a healthy heir safely borne. However, it was recorded that he HAD been told he'd be the father of a great Queen by the Romani fortune-teller in Gibraltar and he DID dote on the infant Vic far more than most fathers of his rank of that era! Of course, it also needs to be mentioned that the Duchess of Kent (with the Duke's approval) personally nursed their infant daughter from birth onwards - a fact that was mentioned in 'The Times of London' twice. And she did this despite being derided by virtually all of their Royal and Society cronies who believed that any new mother who could vaguely afford should hire wetnurses to feed their babies until they were weaned (and, in fact, Vic herself opted to do that and was horrified by both her own mother's example as well as at least two of her daughters personally nursing their offspring).Vic was somewhat a bundle of contradictions in that she disapproved of widowed folks remarrying and women doctors in spite of the facts that she herself was the offspring of a remarried widowed who had employed one of the earliest licensed women medical doctors to help deliver her .

There was no history of hemophilia in either Edward or Victoire’s family. Geneticists say that haemophilia mutations have been observed in advanced maternal age. Edward was in his mid-fifties when he and Victoire conceived, so that seems to me the most likely conclusion.

Hemophilia is in most cases carried by the female line with no effect, it is the male line of the family who suffers the effects.

Females can also have health problems with hemophilia. I have a friend who has it and she and her daughter both have had significant issues. It's normally much worse in men.

One of my most favorite British Monarchs. 💕 Weird parallels: 🫅🏻Queen Victoria’s father and two uncles died in succession to make way for her; Queen Elizabeth II uncle Edward abdicated and then her father died. Ironic that Henry VIII 🤴🏻went through all that trouble for a son when he needn’t have looked past his daughter (Elizabeth I)! The BRF are like living history, archetypes (perfect example) probably why they remain of fascination today. - Fun fact: Queen Victoria gifted American President Rutherford B. Hayes with the Resolute desk (made from the wood of British HMS Resolute ship) that presidents JFK and Barack Obama used in the Oval Office. 👏🏽

I imagine that anytime two DNA profiles merge to create a baby a new DNA profile is also created. In Queen Victoria's case it contained hemophilia. Thankfully it seems to have been bred out of the line as the last one was a Prince William who died in a plane crash in the 1972.

HRH Prince William of Gloucester was a first cousin of our late Queen Elizabeth II and heir to his fathers Dukedom. Shortly before his death he was thought to have been diagnosed with porphyria not haemophilia. Prince William died when the plane he was piloting in an air race crashed in 1972, just a couple of weeks after his younger brothers wedding. When their father died in 1974 Prince Richard became Duke of Gloucester. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester were amongst the senior working royals at the Coronation of King Charles III.

Victoria's father did time in Canada he had a mistress or wife and had children. He was recalled to England and married off to produce an heir.

It is possible that James v of Scotland, as well as his daughter, Mary Queen of Scots, also had Porphyria Both of them exhibited the symptoms. James the fifth's parents were James iv of Scotland and Margaret Tudor (i.e. daughter of Henry vii and of York; Henry the eighth's sister) James the fifth's grandson was James vi of Scotland (as well as James i of England) So, we are going back to the Tudors, Yorks and Stuarts, as well as their wives' families to find the earliest links of Porphyria in the BRF. The late Prince William of Gloucester had Porphyria (He was the current Duke of Gloucester's older brother and the great- great-great- grandson of George iii as well as one of Queen Elizabeth ii's cousins) Some people call Prince William of Gloucester "the other Prince William" He was a very handsome and daring man who died in 1972 during an airplane race. I do not think that there is a connection between Porphyria and Haemophilia (or hemophilia) Although both diseases are hereditary Porphyria affects a lot of people worldwide, so it is not confined to the BRF or the Prussian RF ALSO: Haemophilia can arise without a genetic connection: "Acquired haemophilia is associated with cancers, autoimmune disorders, and pregnancy" --Wiki The more inbred a couple are; the greater the chances of genetic defects and weaknesses.

Porphyria was passed down by Victoria. Her granddaughter, Princess Charlotte, the daughter of the Queen's first daughter, Vicky, was thought to have porphyria. And others are thought to have it as well. Also, Queen Victoria had the unmistakable eyes of her father, Duke Edward. Those eyes protruded, and were unmistakable sign that she was her father's daughter.

I’m not sure she was brutal. The ultimate helicopter parent? Yes. But I think she was genuinely afraid for her, her uncles wanted the throne, so she was afraid of poison or whatever, and if she fell down the stairs and died. We need to remember she wasn’t from England, and after her husband died was all alone. She DID have her brother at least. And Victoria was, all her LIFE, very hyperbolic and EXTREMELY self pitying, so what she says in her early diaries needs to be taken with a grain of salt. She DID have her sister there with her in early childhood, and she DID have other children to play with. She was an only child for all intents and purposes after her sister left to get married. I was an only child too, and yeah, we don’t have built in playmates, so we play alone a lot. But she acted like she never saw another child at ALL. Her mother did bring in other children for her to play with, she went out.

I agree with you. Some of the Kensington System was to keep Victoria safe. Her mother was fearful of Victoria being killed by her uncles to remove from line of succession. But other parts were designed to keep Victoria weak and dependent on her mother, & through her mother, on John Conroy. Not being allowed to walk up & down stairs without holding onto another adult’s hand and being forced to sleep in her mother’s bedchamber, until she was 18, that not normal. When Victoria was 16, she was very ill, I forget what with, Conroy tried to force Victoria to sign a document naming him as her personal secretary, essentially the power behind the throne. Conroy was her mother’s comptroller and the Kensington System was designed by him. Victoria’s relationship with her mother improved after Conroy was sent back to Ireland, Victoria & Albert were married and they started having children. Albert encouraged Victoria to reconcile with her mother
