I was evolved with a number of refurbishment and restoration projects at Kensington P. After the completion of one project an official opening was held. During the evening a guide gave a tour of completed rooms. Before commencing the tour he asked " are there any Americans here tonight" nobody confirmed their presence, he said "Good that means we can do the long tour".
A czar's wife is called a czarina.
The statue of a young Victoria that stands close by KP was sculpted by her daughter Princess Louise who was a talented sculptress and a bit of a feminist. Louise made the statue without her mother's knowledge and put it forward, anonymously to Victoria's Golden Jubilee memorial committee. It was made in Louise's studio in KP grounds and unveiled by Victoria in 1893.
Love that you recoiled from the Markles 😂
Your intro was hilarious 😂 always leaves me in hysterics watching you have a.d.d farts 🤣
Sarah Churchill was indeed an ancestor of Winston Churchill and he named his second daughter after her.
" clerk of works" is pronounced CLARK of works.
You need to look at BOUGHTON HOUSE in Northamptonshire. It's known as the English Versailles. The new Napoleon film had some of the " French" scenes filmed there. I work here and was lucky enough to be inside when they were filming and was stood next to Ridley Scott and Joachim Phoenix.
Queen Victoria was the grandmother of Tsarina Alexandra (formerly Princess Alix of Hesse and by Rhine). Her mother was Princess Alice, the second daugher of Queen Victoria, who was thus also the sister of Princess Louise shown here.
The tapestries you said were painted so well were embroidered
Connor: I'm always so proud of how much you have not only watched - but kept in your head. &, by doing so, you now make accurate connections between certain people, or customs, or events.There's people who've been doing this longer than you, who seem not to even try to link events, just keeping bundles of disconnected (nd often incorrect) bits and pieces in big jumbles inside their heads.. Some even rect to the same information over & over, treating it like new info each time.
I lecture in History (N.B. We don't randomly use the title of "Professor" in the UK & Commonwealth: - "Professor " is the highest rung on the academic ladder & one has to have had their work published & recognised internationally, etc.etc. It's not the person's title - it's the rank of academic excellence which few people achieve ) I would love to have you for my student ...you put two & two together without prompting: it's exciting to watch. Keep on keeping on - you're doing so well.
Russian and Brits royals families were indeed really connected.
King George V and Tsar Nicholas II were cousins through their mothers, 2 sisters and Danish princesses.
Plus, Nicholas married a British princesse, Alexandra/Alix, granddaughter of Queen Victoria and cousin of George V.
In short, a great deal of royals in Europe at the time were cousins, through Queen Victoria who had 9 children and 42 grandchildren (including King George V, Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra, but also German Emperor Wilhelm II, and many others), which is why she is called "grandmother of Europe".
Alexandra, the Tsar's wife, was a Hessian princess. Her father was the Grand Duke of Hesse in the German Empire. Although her mother, Princess Alice of the UK was Queen Victoria's daughter, she was never a princess of the UK as such a style could only be inherited through the male line.
@@MrBulky992 I know all of that, I was just trying to summarize how royals british and russian families are linked, I didn't wanted to be too long with to much details, just to point the links between Nicholas and Alexendra and the British royals, which was what I thought Connor was asking. But of course not all grandchildren of Victoria were real UK princes and princesses, because as I said her children, particularly girls, married all over Europe with others royals families.
If you had time to think about it as the video played you would have remembered that tapestries are not painted, but stitched. Yes the woman that the Queen argued with, and then her dearest friend, was indeed related to Winston Churchill. The woman was the wife of the first duke of Blenheim Palace, John Spencer Churchill. Also an ancestor of Princess Diana. Blenheim Palace was built with funds voted by Parliament - well partly - after he had won an astounding victory - at Blenheim, Bavaria.
SUGGESTION; THE HIDDEN SECRETS INSIDE CHURCHILL'S ANCESTRAL HOME - A History Hits video
Czarina Alexandra was one of the granddaughters of Queen Victoria so yes they were related. Just like Czar Nicholas was one of her grandsons. Very interbred European Royalty.
Tzar Nicolas II was the grandson of Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Kassel, his mother Dagmar was the sister of Queen Alexandra, King George the fifth’s mother.
Tsarina is the female form of Tsar, Princess Louise in the video was the sister of King George V and they were both first cousins to Tsar Nicholas II, his mother and King George’s mother Queen Alexandra were sisters, his wife Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna, born Princess Alix of Hesse and by Rhine, was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria so she was also a first cousin to Princess Louise and King George V, it’s complicated 😮
Visited the palace with my family a few years ago, it’s fantastic
Evening Connor , hope you doing well . 😊
William's horse is supposed to have tripped up on a molehill. The Jacobites, predecessors to William and Mary used to raise a glass to 'the little man in the velvet coat' of course, meaning the mole!
0:54 YOU MEAN Swans! And no they are not vicious unless you scare them. Some people can even hug them if they like you. If they were as you say, then why are two little children standing next to the Swan. 12:59 NOT Paintings, listen carefully and he told you they are a Tapestry!... Created by weaving colored weft threads through plain warp threads. The warp threads are stretched on a loom and act as a grid for weavers to create a pattern with the colored weft threads.
‘Tsarina’ is the word you’re looking for 😊 x
Hi Connor, I love the way you explain how your learning disability challenges and affects you, and in doing so, you both educate us and at the same time, demystify and therefore destigmatise the entire subject. I have long done my part in the same process, in relation to mental illness. I also sometimes think I could have lived in the past - until I remember those large, foreboding institutions that were set well away from most people's view; that perfectly able guys like you and I would have almost certainly spent our lives within. The fact is we've had a lucky escape, by being born into these times - even if they are just ever-so-slightly more informed than they'd have been a century or two before! The word you were looking for in respect of the Russian lady is Tsarina, by the way - but was it Princess Louise's bulging eyes in deep sockets that had you make that connection? The Royal Family themselves refer to this as the 'Hanoverian Gene' as it appears to have been introduced by the early King Georges, and although it wasn't immediately apparent in Queen Victoria nor King Edward VII themselves, four of Edward's six children had it (Prince Albert Victor, and Princesses Louise, Victoria and Maud). Their uncle, Prince Leopold, had it too - as did several of their cousins, which I think may include the Tsarina in your mind's eye. It also affected the Battenberg (Mountbatten) family - and as it appears not to have been passed down through King George VI to Elizabeth II and to any of her children; it is very evident in Prince Andrew's daughter, Princess Beatrice of York - which suggests it may have come back, via the late Prince Philip!
Try keeping a writing pad with you & jot down what you might want to comment on.
I think about living in the past like that to @ times.then realizes I would likely have been a peasant.an female issues are a real thing + toothpaste+penicillin+anything else I take for granted ..
that messed up grass has just been cut mate...
You should react to Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte.
Mcjibbin when are you coming back to the uk ?
Hey connor ❤
I visited over 10 years ago and was shocked at how dilapidated and basic the royal bedrooms are. Princess Margaret’s had been done as cheaply as humanly possible. The wardrobe doors were just sheets of MDF badly painted white with some basic DIY plastic knobs attached as handles. Sockets hanging out of the wall. Cheap lighting. Diana’s was marginally better. My own bedroom is like a palace in comparison. Some of the public areas are very splendid but what a dump to live in.
Yes, it's important for people watching to realise that these are the State Apartments, not the rooms used by residents at the Palace.
Harry and Meghan lived in the adjoining Nottingham Cottage, Harry's former bachelor pad, before the bullying allegations. I wonder what state it was in, compared to the palace. I can imagine her reaction. I bet she did nothing but complain whilst the rest of the royals will have just got on with everything.

What' s that "beah" seeing the photo of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Connor??? That it would be in black and white?
Pfff!!!
Connor does the additives in the food affect your ADHD? You should try living in Europe for a while.
Czarina
Tsarina! X
