@ trishphillips-johnson2500 Back in those days royalty had to marry foreign royals for political purposes. It wasn't unusual for a King to have one of more mistresses. The queen was not allowed that privilege (although, some did have lovers) But the first duty of any royal or noble bride (even in this age) is to produce and heir, a spare and more children are welcomed.
There was much more to Alice than being a Kings mistress, her wit and charm and also beauty, and her charity for the poor and hospitals etc, thank you Jon superb as always. 👍👏😊
Great information on a lady who like many before her , used her wit and intelligence to navigate society at that time... She was resourceful...thank you..
Through her younger daughter, Sonia Cubitt, who was Queen Camilla’s grandmother. Whilst King Edward VII is the 2 x great grandfather of King Charles III.
She was a very beautiful and social adept woman. The artwork in your video is lovely. The big question is: Are Camilla and Charles cousins? It is rumored that Edward VII was the father of Camilla's grandmother (i.e. Sonia Cubitt) Both of Alice's daughters Violet and Sonia were beautiful.
Alice lived in a different time, certainly. She made a lot of positive changes in her lifetime, which is inspirational. However it will never NOT be ironic to me that being the mistress of married kings seems to run in that family. Camilla should not be where she is now, neither should Charles.
Sadly, all she is remembered for is being nothing more than a king’s mistress. She did a lot of good work. Another great video, Jon. Job well done!
She was an extremely beautiful woman and the great grandmother of “the Rottweiler”, aka the current Queen of England.
Thank you for recognizing her beyond the usual narratives. Your support means a lot!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video Theresa, thank you as always
To be the wife having to tolerate your husban husband's mistress. Mistress appears to be the family business.
I can't imagine how tough that must be for the wife.
I love learning new stuff. Keep them coming.
Great video Jon!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks

💥 I remember reading in the 60s when they were first an item, Camilla teased him about Mrs Keppel, her relative and the King.
You sound like Jeremy swift from Ted Lasso🙂
She was one in a long line of the king's mistresses, he was a notorious womanizer, fascinating woman nonetheless
It's intriguing how history is filled with such complex relationships.
Could this have been written about any of the mistresses?
Alice lived in a different time, certainly. She made a lot of positive changes in her lifetime, which is inspirational.
However it will never NOT be ironic to me that being the mistress of married kings seems to run in that family. Camilla should not be where she is now, neither should Charles.
Your insights are thought-provoking, thank you for sharing your perspective.
Interesting and well narrated, though I profoundly dislike those computer generated faces with their awkward, "dead" glance.
Wow!! We share a birthday!!!
It couldn't have been easy being a lady just my opinion🎉🎉🎉
Queen Camilla bears a striking resemblance to her great grandmother.
Not even close. Camilla should be so lucky!
@@lhzook I see the facial features in Queen Camilla.
Thank you for noticing the resemblance! Family history is so interesting to explore.
Not at all.
