So is no one gonna talk about how the first three were Mary, Anne, and Charlotte, and now the previous was Mary, the current is Anne, and the future (likely) is Charlotte?
@@자수정-m2n Yes, but there is also the chance that--if the monarchy survives that long--Charlotte would outlive George, and George's child would already be sitting on the throne. So it would likely go to George's granddaughter, should he have one. Anything is possible though!
I met Princess Anne once. The museum in my local town had had a massive refurbishment and the Spitfire Exhibit was like the main focus. Princess Anne came to reopen the museum and the Spitfire Exhibit. One high school (ages 11 to 16) and one primary school (ages 5 to 11) got to be there at the re-opening and my primary school was the one invited. 2 students from each school got to go up and shake Princess Anne's hand and I was one of the students chosen for my school so I got to meet her and say hello and shake her hand. My mind was blown when that happened. I was like 8 at the time. I remember Princess Anne had a really warm energy about her and the outfit she was wearing matched my school's colour.
Princess Anne is a very influential Royal. She had her father's traits and her mother's looks. She participated in the 1976 Olympic Games and succeeded. Thanks Lindsay :)
Princess Anne IS a very influential Royal. Your comment used past tense. Princess Anne is still very much alive, well & still doing engagements as a senior Royal.
My mom met Princess Anne when she was in the military back in the 80's. Said she damn near sh!t herself when HRH looked her in the eye, as apparently she's quite intimidating in person, absolutely radiated majesty and authority. We both agree it's a pity she's not gonna be queen next!
@@amdperacha What? Did you not read the comments above yours that are dunking on Charles and calling him horrible? Lol. Prince Andrew is another horrible royal for being a pedophile and his name was in Epstein's book!
I like how the first 4 Princesses to have this title, had the names: Mary, Anne, Charlotte and Victoria. This is funny because the former's name was also Mary; the current's name is Anne; the next most likely to have it is Princess Charlotte of Cambridge. It would be so incredibly reassuring if Prince George of Cambridge names his daughter Victoria one day, followed by another Louise to top it all in the next 100 years haha.
I was invited to an event that princess Anne also attended. I was given instructions on what to say and act in case we spoke. However we never did. When she walked past me, she looked me in the eyes, slightly smiled and a quick nod in my direction. She had a wonderful presence about her. Very confident yet not overbearing.
"The son that Prince Philip wanted" Lol, poor Charles. Princess Anne is quite an impressive woman. To be able to balance all those public appearances for a year, that would have taken a toll on her health. May she live a long life like her mother, the late Queen.
My Mum was a mad keen supporter of the Royal Family. She always said that Princess Anne would have made a fantastic Monarch but she was shelved by 3 worthless brothers.
The final picture that is shown in the section about Princess Louise the daughter of Edward Vll, is in fact that of her aunt, another Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll: the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria. She was a very talented artist who sculpted the wonderful statue of her mother in front of Kensington Palace.
She (Victorias daughter ) was seemingly quite a girl in her day who ,allegedly would not put up with her mothers nonsense and had ideas well ahead of her time
Princess Anne is so classy and dignified, and she doesn't take any crap! It's a shame she'll never be Queen -- I bet she would have been a great Anne II.
I love Princess Anne! She is beautiful, intelligent and comports herself so well. She would have made an excellent queen. I love how she never gave a damn about the press. They roasted her for it, but damn, the woman has a strong backbone!
It's funny that I've never had any interest in the royalty of Britain. But since I first watched Tea Time with Lindsay I have been fascinated and continued to follow the series. Lindsay you do a good job making something completely uninteresting to me, amazing
@@florencedelves7409 The Tudors look relatively civilized by comparison. The Stuarts were a bit wacky but they didn't have children fighting parents or siblings fighting siblings, at least not to the extent of their predecessors. Royals gradually become more civilized, like the rest of the world. Nowadays none of the royals are especially keen for the throne itself, I've heard.
Yes, there's something about Lindsay's approach to history that makes it so relatable and relevant to us. This channel is one of a kind, the best history channel on youtube I have come across so far.
I think that the life of Victoria, Princess Royal was probably most incredible - I can't believe a major Hollywood production hasn't been based on her! No other female of royal blood in the history Christendom lived to have amounted all these titles: - The Princess Royal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, as the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria - Crown Princess of both the Imperial and Royal Crowns of the German Empire and Kingdom of Prussia, respectively. - The Kaiserin - The German Empress, The Queen of Prussia. - Queen Mother of the Royal Crown of Prussia, as the mother of Kaiser Wilhelm II (although she did not choose to use this title) - Dowager Empress of the Imperial Crown of the German Empire, as the relict of Kaiser Friedrich III She also had all these styles during her lifetime: - Her Royal Highness - Her Imperial & Royal Highness - Her Imperial & Royal Majesty - Her Imperial Majesty
@@TheChill001 naturally, because her mother was a Queen Regnant... I'm referring here to Princesses to have amount various and vast titles and styles over the course of their life.
One of the reasons that Queen Victoria was named "Empress of India" was so that when her own daughter became Empress of Germany, she would not hold a higher title than did her mother, the Queen of England.
I can’t get over how much the current royals, both the Queen and Anne, look so much like their immediate predecessors. It’s amazing. Anne is a beautiful woman, I’m so glad to see her getting the acknowledgment she’s been so long due❤️
TBH,I truly feel the current Princess Royal is the pick of the bunch!Anne has done(& continues to do) more for charity than ANY of them.I've met her twice,once when I was a volunteer for Riding for the Disabled(which she is worldwide patron & generous supporter of) and again when I was working with Doctors Without Borders in her role as(again) worldwide patron of.She always took time out of her hectic schedule to talk to both the workers and the patients/clients no matter what the communication difficulties were,be it a matter of language or communication with some of our more 'disabled'(ie non-verbal) kids at RDA.Kind and compassionate lady who has my complete respect.Long may she live and may every blessing be hers.
Frederick of Wurttemberg actually had a few skeletons in the closet when he married Charlotte Princess Royal - he had previously married Augusta of Brunswick (the elder sister of the infamous Caroline who later married George Prince of Wales) but their union was deeply unhappy. The ill-matched couple went to Russia where Frederick served in the army and they had three children together. Six years later Frederick returned to Germany with the children but not Augusta. Exactly what happened is unclear with suggestions of Augusta having affairs or simply wishing to stay at the behest of Catherine the Great, who she had befriended. However, at some point Augusta fell out with Catherine and was sent to live at the remote castle of Lhode. There she mysteriously died - some contemporaries hinted at the time that her estranged husband had something to do with it but others suggest she had another affair and died in childbirth.
German royals both good and bad for centuries had wild marriage or romance stories. Lindsay really should feature King Frederick William IV of Prussia and his wife Elisabeth, their love story literally caused a full blown controversy and possible crisis (because he, a Protestant future monarch, was desiring to marry a Catholic Bavarian princess). Their marriage eventually happened and was a happy one, but sadly for unknown reasons they were unable to have children (so Frederick William's brother Wilhelm took the throne).
@@jenniferstone2975 Frederick and Charlotte's marriage seems to have been generally happy with Frederick describing her as "a blessing from heaven" but yes later in life he became increasingly bad-tempered - he was sometimes seen to bully Charlotte and subject her to aggressive and critical lectures.
Princess Vicky is my fave among Queen Victoria's children. What happened between her and her son Wilhelm was so sad and there was no easy fix to the situation. Fascinating to study though.
I've heard that she and Freddie pretty much left him to be raised by a tutor who was a right-wing lunatic so they didn't have much gripe coming. That always sounded bizarre, given how much importance her own father placed on family life and spending time with his children instead of keeping them mostly at a distance like other royals. Maybe she and Fred were so much in love that they didn't need anyone else in their lives, like Ronald and Nancy Reagan.
I'm a young history lover and can't afford to be a patron, but would love if you could consider doing a video about Princess Sophia Duleep Singh, as I have been reading about her recently.
I really enjoyed this video. Princess Anne is the Hardest Working Royal without a doubt and has never looked for praise for all that she does. She is my Hero of the BRF. She would make a great Queen even though that would probably never happen.
When Princess Anne competed in the Olympics she was the only woman competitor who wasn't required to take a genetic test to prove that she was actually a woman (the tests are no longer used).
I'm not British so I don't know much about the Royal family but I'm learning with these videos. I was a bit shocked at the part in this video that said that a gunman shot at Princess Anne's car and wanted to kidnap her. Not too surprised about her response though. LOL Some women you just don't mess with. She was not having any of that. Tough cookie that's for sure. 😎👍
I'm impressed with the last two. Charity, humanitarianism, athletics. I used to watch "The Crown", Princess Anne doesn't show up much. Her choice? Positive female role models make boring TV.
She is not “Charlotte of Wales” . She is HRH Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, as her father is the Duke of Cambridge. Children carry the peerage titles of the fathers (since they amended the letters patent for William’s children).
my late mother was very interested in the royal family even though we are American. i love to watch your content to learn more about the royal family and their history
Probably IF Anne was the first born child and the Uk became the first country to adopt primogeniture as Sweeden was the first one to adopt it in reality.
@@cyrilmarasigan7108 yeah, too bad that royal title isn't given by merit but by birth. If only it was merit or public popularity based... well then it's no longer a monarchy system.
@@cyrilmarasigan7108 What do you mean? Because I know The Netherlands has absolute primogeniture (sex irrelevant), just like Belgium, Sweden, etc. but Spain for instance has male-preference primogeniture, which is an issue since now they have only females, so they might have to change it!
@@larissaswinkels3661 No that's not what i've mean we where talking about british royal line since Anne as they said was more suitable than charles i just said well IF The british were the first one to adopt a primogeniture which allows eldest child regardless of their gender and if princess anne was a first born child then that would change the history but the british at the time of princess anne's birth allows women to rule IF they don't have brothers
@@cyrilmarasigan7108 Oh now I get it, thank you for explaining. I have a feeling the queen wanted the same (meaning having Anne on the throne rather than Charles). But maybe they can skip Charles and go straight to William if Charles declines.
@@summeroflove394 In some ways you are right, but there were some Prince’s of Wales who didn’t become kings. I know it’s not too many, but she could talk about scandals they faced or good things they did while they were still princes.
i think this is my favorite video of yours so far! i like pronouncing the royal as "roi-aal" to make it sound fancier hahaha princess "roi-aal" sounds like a drink you'd get at a very fancy bar lol or a princess spy name.
Update on Princess Mary, daughter of George V: Though it's long been thought that Mary did not attend the wedding of Princess Elizabeth (later Elizabeth II) and Prince Philip because she was offended that her brother the Duke of Windsor was not invited, Elizabeth Basford's recent biography of Mary gives a different reason on page 236. "A further rumour that has escalated and become something of a misconception is that Mary refused to attend the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten on 20 November 1947 because of her annoyance at the Duke of Windsor not receiving an invitation. This belief finds its roots in Ronald Storrs’s diary, when he mentions going to visit Sir Henry McMahon, a former diplomat, and his wife. ‘They knew all about Princess Mary’s absence from the wedding in anger at the Duke of Windsor not having been invited.’ However, within the same diary entry, Storrs recalls having to leave the couple after only half an hour, finding them rather tiresome, suggesting a discourse of gossip rather than fact. "In November 1947, just prior to the wedding, Mary explained the real reason for her non-attendance at the wedding to her close friend Dame Mary Tyrwhitt. The letter is marked ‘PRIVATE’ in large capitals. ‘I would like you to know that after all I shall not be coming to London. I felt that the wedding festivities might prove too great a strain. I am very disappointed to miss the wedding. November 17 or 18 the Press must announce I have a chill or something of the sort.’ (The British Army Museum, 9303-1-9, 12 November 1947.) Harry’s death undoubtedly had caused her such great anxiety and upset that she feared she was on the brink of a further nervous breakdown similar to that in the 1930s." Mary's husband had died in late May 1947 and it was reported that as late as 5 November that Mary was still wearing full mourning. Apparently she did not feel able to participate in such a happy family occasion, though one filled with stresses and awkward situations including the former king and his wife not being invited as well as most of Philip's family, who had close associations with the Nazi's.
What a great video! It was fun learning about the earlier princess royals I didn't know had the title. I knew the ones from Victoria's daughter and on.
On another video I learned that after having 15 children almost back to back, that Queen Charlotte’s reason for keeping her daughters close was not surprising. She didn’t want her daughters to live the life she had as a baby maker! There was a great quote from Queen Charlotte about how much she loathed pregnancy.
It is interesting that we have seen a cycle with their names. The first and sixth was Mary, the second and seventh are Anne, and the third and probably eighth will be a Charlotte. All we need is a Victoria and Louise.
Something else interesting. No Queen regnant has ever been a Princess Royal first. Mary I was older than the title, Elizabeth I was older than the title and a second daughter, Mary II didn’t get it as she already had a higher title, Anne was a second daughter, Victoria wasn’t the daughter of a King, and Elizabeth II’s aunt was still alive.
Wow you're right. But let's say hypothetically if Prince George dies or abdicates without issue, Charlotte then will be the first Princess Royal, (if she ever outlives her great aunt Anne) to be a monarch.. hypothetically
@@lilymarinovic1644I think they will keep the Prince of Wales title strictly reserved for the monarch's eldest son, as per tradition and leave the Princess to his wife.
@@lilymarinovic1644 but you have to remember the male primogeniture law back then, a girl was only heir presumptive if she had no brothers because anytime, her father the king could produce a son and the boy thus became the default prince of Wales. That's why they don't give those girls Mary I, Mary II, Elizabeth II, the titles of Princess of Wales when they were young princesses Edit: Not all Monarchs held the Prince of Wales title (George VI, William IV, James I, Henry VII, Richard III, Edward IV) so now that laws changed, in future, the Prince of Wales necessarily doesn't have to be the heir and if his sister is older she should be correctly styled Princess Royal reserved for the older daughter of a monarch.
19:33 Minor correction: Alastair was Louise’s stillborn son 26:57 also, his name is Timothy Laurence, not Thomas Laurence (but you got it right the next time you said it 🙂)
It would be interesting to see Lindsey do a video on the Madame Royals, or just specifically the last Madame Royal, Maria Antoinette’s daughter. I think it would be fun to look at those woman of history that no one talks about
Weirdly enough, Madame Royale is more a secondary title, the eldest daughter of the king was called "Madame" alone, Madame Royale was used when the title of Madame was given to the wife of Monsieur, the eldest brother of the king ^^ But it's really not a title, just a fancy way to differenciate them from the other royal people. And even that was not fixed, like Elisabeth of France, eldest daughter of Louis XV was called Madame Royale, Madame or Madame Première (Madame First).
Oh my- the part with King Charles’s death and Oliver Cromwell,we just learned it a few days ago in history(in from romania) and its interesting to see this in this video
Slight detail, at 20:22 the photo is of Louise, Duchess of Argyll (1848-1939), who was a daughter of Queen Victoria! Otherwise an incredibly detailed video!
20:27 Great video. Just wanted to point out that the picture in this part actually shows Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, and not Louise, Princess Royal.
i loved the images you used in this one it really came together nicely for those watching who didn't know as much for context. i did but for those who i feel like you did them a great service with the visual aides you so aptly chose. another great video.
Ms. Lindsay Holiday this video is fantastic, I was hoping you could discuss soon the Daughters of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands 🇳🇱, I would love to see that and I must say I watched your videos couz its very detailed for me to understand history of royals
The plural of Princess Royal is Princesses Royal, not "Princess Royals". It follows the French form that gave us Attorneys general (not Attorney generals), Governors general (not "Governor generals"), mothers-in-law (not mother-in-laws), etc.
Hey Lindsay, a fan from Trinidad and Tobago here👋. Tobago is pronounced tuh+bay+goh, it's always mispronounced for some reason😅. Great video as always though!♥️
Louise was not Duchess in her own right. A second Dukedom of Fife was created for Alexander with special remainder to the two daughters, the eldest of which became Duchess in her own right following Alexanders death. The dukedom eventually came to the second daughter's descendants.
Yay! I was looking forward to this one. Only seven Princess Royals (or is the correct plural Princesses Royal?) so far but they’re all interesting women who are worth learning about.
Nonetheless, it’s Princesses Royal. Just like it’s Attorneys General, accounts receivable, courts martial, etc. Because “princesses” is a noun and “royal” is an adjective.
What an absolutely heartless and all around cruel thing to tell your daughter, "losing a husband is much greater than losing a child". While both are obvious great loses, personally I think losing a child is MUCH more of a heartbreak. I couldn't imagine losing either of my daughters or how I would be able to go on without them. I have lost a partner who I loved very much before and while the heartache was great it was not impossible to heal from. There is just a different type of unconditional love a parent feels when they first look upon their child and hold them (no matter if its from a birth or adoption) that imo could never compare to any other type of love for another.
"His son Wilhelm II hated his parents" Which is understandable, as they tried to heal his arm by any mean possible, including some that could be called torture like electro-shocks, and forced him to go through a strict militarist prussian education, even though he was severely limited by his arm ^^'
I just got done watching the episode of the crown where princess Alice , Philip the duke of Edenborough's mother, is there a way you can make a video about her life? that would be awesome if you did :) thank you for the video

I remember Anne's Australia visit. She was a big hit, tv cameras followed her everywhere. So she was popular there!
Thank you for uploading this video Lindsay
I'm impressed with the last two. Charity, humanitarianism, athletics. I used to watch "The Crown", Princess Anne doesn't show up much. Her choice? Positive female role models make boring TV.
Do a whole video on Princess Charlotte of Wales, please! That girl is so underappreciated.
She is not “Charlotte of Wales” . She is HRH Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, as her father is the Duke of Cambridge. Children carry the peerage titles of the fathers (since they amended the letters patent for William’s children).
@@LaReinaZorra I was referring not to the Duke of Cambridge's young daughter, but the princess of the same name who lived from 1796 to 1817.
@@LaReinaZorra and who died in childbirth
Queen Victoria: We are not amused!
@@LaReinaZorra I don't think they were referring to William's daughter.She's way too young to have done anything
my late mother was very interested in the royal family even though we are American. i love to watch your content to learn more about the royal family and their history
I would like to see in some alternate universe Anne becoming a queen insted of charles... Honestly she is the best royal among her siblings...
Probably IF Anne was the first born child and the Uk became the first country to adopt primogeniture as Sweeden was the first one to adopt it in reality.
@@cyrilmarasigan7108 yeah, too bad that royal title isn't given by merit but by birth. If only it was merit or public popularity based... well then it's no longer a monarchy system.
@@cyrilmarasigan7108 What do you mean? Because I know The Netherlands has absolute primogeniture (sex irrelevant), just like Belgium, Sweden, etc. but Spain for instance has male-preference primogeniture, which is an issue since now they have only females, so they might have to change it!
@@larissaswinkels3661 No that's not what i've mean we where talking about british royal line since Anne as they said was more suitable than charles i just said well IF The british were the first one to adopt a primogeniture which allows eldest child regardless of their gender and if princess anne was a first born child then that would change the history but the british at the time of princess anne's birth allows women to rule IF they don't have brothers
@@cyrilmarasigan7108 Oh now I get it, thank you for explaining. I have a feeling the queen wanted the same (meaning having Anne on the throne rather than Charles). But maybe they can skip Charles and go straight to William if Charles declines.
very nice. looking forward to Charlotte, Princess Royal. I have great respect for Princess Anne, the present Princess Royal. very hard working.
This video was awesome! You should also make a video/series similar to this about the Prince’s of Wales.
Wouldn’t that basically be every king since Edward II ? Lindsay had made a series on all kings before.
@@summeroflove394 In some ways you are right, but there were some Prince’s of Wales who didn’t become kings. I know it’s not too many, but she could talk about scandals they faced or good things they did while they were still princes.
@@auroral0vescake yes, there are 21 princes of wales but 7 (iirc) never made it to king. it could make a good video
Thank you so much for uploading these videos, Lindsay! I learn so much!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Princess Anne gets annoyed by the smell of paint because everywhere she visits does a new paint job the day before
I mean most people would if they have to smell that unpleasant smell every single time they visit a place.
i think this is my favorite video of yours so far! i like pronouncing the royal as "roi-aal" to make it sound fancier hahaha princess "roi-aal" sounds like a drink you'd get at a very fancy bar lol or a princess spy name.
You mean “royale”?
@@kate_cooper they're obviously spelling it phonetically
@@kate_cooper YES, that's exactly what i mean! so fancy hahaha
Update on Princess Mary, daughter of George V: Though it's long been thought that Mary did not attend the wedding of Princess Elizabeth (later Elizabeth II) and Prince Philip because she was offended that her brother the Duke of Windsor was not invited, Elizabeth Basford's recent biography of Mary gives a different reason on page 236.
"A further rumour that has escalated and become something of a misconception is that Mary refused to attend the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten on 20 November 1947 because of her annoyance at the Duke of Windsor not receiving an invitation. This belief finds its roots in Ronald Storrs’s diary, when he mentions going to visit Sir Henry McMahon, a former diplomat, and his wife. ‘They knew all about Princess Mary’s absence from the wedding in anger at the Duke of Windsor not having been invited.’ However, within the same diary entry, Storrs recalls having to leave the couple after only half an hour, finding them rather tiresome, suggesting a discourse of gossip rather than fact.
"In November 1947, just prior to the wedding, Mary explained the real reason for her non-attendance at the wedding to her close friend Dame Mary Tyrwhitt. The letter is marked ‘PRIVATE’ in large capitals. ‘I would like you to know that after all I shall not be coming to London. I felt that the wedding festivities might prove too great a strain. I am very disappointed to miss the wedding. November 17 or 18 the Press must announce I have a chill or something of the sort.’ (The British Army Museum, 9303-1-9, 12 November 1947.) Harry’s death undoubtedly had caused her such great anxiety and upset that she feared she was on the brink of a further nervous breakdown similar to that in the 1930s."
Mary's husband had died in late May 1947 and it was reported that as late as 5 November that Mary was still wearing full mourning. Apparently she did not feel able to participate in such a happy family occasion, though one filled with stresses and awkward situations including the former king and his wife not being invited as well as most of Philip's family, who had close associations with the Nazi's.
What a great video! It was fun learning about the earlier princess royals I didn't know had the title. I knew the ones from Victoria's daughter and on.
Princess Mary and Lord Lascelles depicted in the Downton Abbey movie!!
On another video I learned that after having 15 children almost back to back, that Queen Charlotte’s reason for keeping her daughters close was not surprising. She didn’t want her daughters to live the life she had as a baby maker! There was a great quote from Queen Charlotte about how much she loathed pregnancy.
It is interesting that we have seen a cycle with their names. The first and sixth was Mary, the second and seventh are Anne, and the third and probably eighth will be a Charlotte. All we need is a Victoria and Louise.
Mary,Anne,Charlotte,Victoria,Louise,Mary,Anne daughter of Elizabeth II,Charlotte of Cambridge,And George would have girls called Louise and Victoria!
Or imagine Louise,Edward's daughter
19:32 Louise had TWO daughters, Alexandra and Maud. Her firstborn child, Alastair, was a son.
11:10 Took me a moment to realize that it went into ad-mode 🤣
Something else interesting. No Queen regnant has ever been a Princess Royal first. Mary I was older than the title, Elizabeth I was older than the title and a second daughter, Mary II didn’t get it as she already had a higher title, Anne was a second daughter, Victoria wasn’t the daughter of a King, and Elizabeth II’s aunt was still alive.
Wow you're right. But let's say hypothetically if Prince George dies or abdicates without issue, Charlotte then will be the first Princess Royal, (if she ever outlives her great aunt Anne) to be a monarch.. hypothetically
Odd .... I don't know if any of the ladies who have succeeded to the throne have ever been Princess of Wales? That would be the superior title
@@lilymarinovic1644I think they will keep the Prince of Wales title strictly reserved for the monarch's eldest son, as per tradition and leave the Princess to his wife.
@@cerulean739 to me it would be strange and less traditional if it were given to anyone other than the heir to the throne, male or female.
@@lilymarinovic1644 but you have to remember the male primogeniture law back then, a girl was only heir presumptive if she had no brothers because anytime, her father the king could produce a son and the boy thus became the default prince of Wales. That's why they don't give those girls Mary I, Mary II, Elizabeth II, the titles of Princess of Wales when they were young princesses
Edit: Not all Monarchs held the Prince of Wales title (George VI, William IV, James I, Henry VII, Richard III, Edward IV) so now that laws changed, in future, the Prince of Wales necessarily doesn't have to be the heir and if his sister is older she should be correctly styled Princess Royal reserved for the older daughter of a monarch.
The Queen looked so much like her Aunt Mary Princess Royal, in later years. I think Princess Ann the Princess Royal, is an amazing person.
Just found your channel! Loving your videos. Getting my history fix - anything to not watch the news! Thank you for your work.
Lol I listen to these while I draw pictures of these royals. So charming and well structured videos full of information :)
For those who may not know know “dropsy” is an old term for fluid retention secondary to heart disease.
You do such a good job with this! Thanks!
19:33 Minor correction: Alastair was Louise’s stillborn son
26:57 also, his name is Timothy Laurence, not Thomas Laurence (but you got it right the next time you said it 🙂)
I was surprised to see you advertise the Fabulous app. I absolutely love it and have the premium subscription.
I just love these historical videos
23:30 - just learned it was her in the video. from 🇹🇹
I scrolled hoping to see a Trini flag! 😂 Here to add support!🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
It would be interesting to see Lindsey do a video on the Madame Royals, or just specifically the last Madame Royal, Maria Antoinette’s daughter. I think it would be fun to look at those woman of history that no one talks about
Weirdly enough, Madame Royale is more a secondary title, the eldest daughter of the king was called "Madame" alone, Madame Royale was used when the title of Madame was given to the wife of Monsieur, the eldest brother of the king ^^
But it's really not a title, just a fancy way to differenciate them from the other royal people. And even that was not fixed, like Elisabeth of France, eldest daughter of Louis XV was called Madame Royale, Madame or Madame Première (Madame First).
Brilliant!
I never realized how awesome the current princess Ann is.
Another really interesting video! Thank you!
Love it ☺️ thank you 👏🙏👍
Oh my- the part with King Charles’s death and Oliver Cromwell,we just learned it a few days ago in history(in from romania) and its interesting to see this in this video
would be interesting if there would be another oliver cromwell elected to parliament soon...considering charles as king...lol
❤️ I've been waiting this!!! ❤️
The life of a princess isn't all glitz and glamour. Queen Victoria and Princess Diana proved how it can cause you so much pain.
Slight detail, at 20:22 the photo is of Louise, Duchess of Argyll (1848-1939), who was a daughter of Queen Victoria!
Otherwise an incredibly detailed video!
20:27 Great video. Just wanted to point out that the picture in this part actually shows Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, and not Louise, Princess Royal.
Iconic
i loved the images you used in this one it really came together nicely for those watching who didn't know as much for context. i did but for those who i feel like you did them a great service with the visual aides you so aptly chose. another great video.
Victoria's Castle Friedrichshof is now Hotel Kronberg.
And the movie 'Spencer' was shot there.
"the ripe old age of 25" killed me
Ms. Lindsay Holiday this video is fantastic, I was hoping you could discuss soon the Daughters of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands 🇳🇱, I would love to see that and I must say I watched your videos couz its very detailed for me to understand history of royals
It's amazing how Queen Elizabeth looks like her aunt, Princess Mary, and Zara also has some resemblance with Princess Mary.
And I feel the need to tell you that you are great I’ve seen every single one of your videos!
Love Princess Anne. Just a classy amazing woman. She was always hard working, she deserves the title.
"hydrated" .... I couldn't help but giggle.
As always wonderful!
I bought a little box at a house sale, i could've believe it when i saw the princess gift fund box! I keep my earrings in it! Worth $15 !🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much this was such a good video I really learned a lot 💜
The plural of Princess Royal is Princesses Royal, not "Princess Royals". It follows the French form that gave us Attorneys general (not Attorney generals), Governors general (not "Governor generals"), mothers-in-law (not mother-in-laws), etc.
Great video 👍🏽
Such powerful women and such an interesting link to France!
Hey Lindsay, a fan from Trinidad and Tobago here👋. Tobago is pronounced tuh+bay+goh, it's always mispronounced for some reason😅.
Great video as always though!♥️
So we were pronouncing it correctly the whole time here in the US? Great! Thanks!
Good to know. I hate it when my written vocabulary is better than my speaking vocab. Cheers. 👍😀
Girl they see ‘bag’ in Tobago & think bag as in handbag😅
Louise was not Duchess in her own right. A second Dukedom of Fife was created for Alexander with special remainder to the two daughters, the eldest of which became Duchess in her own right following Alexanders death. The dukedom eventually came to the second daughter's descendants.
Love your channel!
Lindsay I love watching your videos, I get soo happy🙂 when I see your name pop up in my notifications, I can't wait for your next video ❤
It’s hairwood house and lassells (it’s the nearest stately home to me lol)
Excellent video about women most people have never heard of, but were interesting and influenced in their own right.
Princess Mary has little bit of same look with Mrs. Zara Tindal and Lady Louise.
I Like How There Are Both 2 Princess Royals Named Mary And Anne. And The Next Shall Be Another Princess Charlotte
You make my day thank you so much
Yay! I was looking forward to this one. Only seven Princess Royals (or is the correct plural Princesses Royal?) so far but they’re all interesting women who are worth learning about.
It should be Princesses Royal.
No probably Princess Royals because it sounds weird for Princesses Toyal
Nonetheless, it’s Princesses Royal. Just like it’s Attorneys General, accounts receivable, courts martial, etc. Because “princesses” is a noun and “royal” is an adjective.
@@ChristieKeith ah,I see your point. Thanks for educating me on the topic,Christie.
What an absolutely heartless and all around cruel thing to tell your daughter, "losing a husband is much greater than losing a child". While both are obvious great loses, personally I think losing a child is MUCH more of a heartbreak. I couldn't imagine losing either of my daughters or how I would be able to go on without them. I have lost a partner who I loved very much before and while the heartache was great it was not impossible to heal from. There is just a different type of unconditional love a parent feels when they first look upon their child and hold them (no matter if its from a birth or adoption) that imo could never compare to any other type of love for another.
With thirteen children and only one husband she must have thought he was more important to her.
@@Mystlyn26Victoria had 9 children
"His son Wilhelm II hated his parents"
Which is understandable, as they tried to heal his arm by any mean possible, including some that could be called torture like electro-shocks, and forced him to go through a strict militarist prussian education, even though he was severely limited by his arm ^^'
OMGG LINDSLAY HOLIDAY
My yorkie dog love Queen Mary II and Elizabeth the first.
I just got done watching the episode of the crown where princess Alice , Philip the duke of Edenborough's mother, is there a way you can make a video about her life? that would be awesome if you did :) thank you for the video
It's spelled Edinburgh
I appreciate the way you do your commercials
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS❤❤❤❤❤
There is a dedication plaque on a public building on the Marylebone Road in London, saying that it was opened by Victoria Princess Royal.
Princess Anne is the spitting image of Princess Mary.
