-The Royal Family (actually all the royal families of Europe) were cousins. Sometimes first cousins on BOTH sides. Even Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip were distant cousins, both being direct descendants of Queen Victoria. Remember the unsightly Hannover (sp?) chin that was a real disfigurement to madness running throughout the families. Actually, Charles is the first not to marry a cousin. William went so far as to not even marry anyone associated in any way with the royal line (Charles' wife Camilla's great-grandmother was a mistress to Charles' great-great grandfather...I think that's correct (so association.) The Plantagenets were the most interesting bunch to me. The fact that Queen Elizabeth II was a direct decendent of Alfred the Great, going back over 1,000 years, is so fascinating to me. American history short, and not nearly as interesting. I'm American, so I'm allowed to say that.
You don't have to be an American to be able to say that 😂. I think American history has its own intrigue. But I do love British history so much more. But maybe that's because I'm British and love our own history more because of that fact.
I'm American...and one of my lines came over on the Mayflower. James IV Stewart is my 14th great-grandfather. Joanna of Castile, the heir of Isabella and Ferdinand, is my 14th great-grandmother on yet another line. Just because I'm American doesn't mean I don't have 100% European ancestors...including royalty.
Look at the state that the Politicians have left us in... Instead of just one Royal as head of state, we now have the House Of Commons, and the House of Lords. The House of Lords comprising of 784 unelected officials, who go on to approve the UK's laws, after the laws have been proposed by the House of Commons, which has 650 members. Combined, that's a total of 1,434 politicians. We have more unelected officials, than we do elected officials, which is increased even further, when you consider the Civil Service, or the Uncivil Service, as I like to call them, and their representatives. In 2021, we had 475,020. We had almost half a million Civil Servant's, none of them were voted for, trying to govern the country themselves, overriding what Parliament tried to effect in law. Rarely do we get what we actually voted for. The MP's and the Lords are more interested in their own agenda's, than they are the public. Are we really better off with Politicians than we are a King? Cromwell deposed parliament himself, TWICE, via the use of the Military, because he discovered that they could NOT be trusted to do their job. There has to be a way to make democracy work. Otherwise, every democracy in the world is doomed to failure eventually, being replaced with a despotic, communistic tyranny.
Good documentation, but please stop diminishing every culture besides Britain! It is terrible to use silly accents to make other cultures sound stupid or weird.
Who the hell is putting things like, if you skip this,bad things will happen to you,or if you don't open this right now you will die, how horrible is that!!! I think that you should put yourself in other peoples place and see how it makes you feel!! I really am in shock 😲😲😱
The UK still has a monarchy. Charles and his property holdings have complete immunity from charges or taxes. Plus a million a year and a staff of 40! Insane.
This is really a drop in the bucket of a national budget. Royal families are cheap in comparison to most expenses of a modern state and provide many benefits in diplomacy, tourism, national unity, ect. Pretty good deal all things considered.
@@Tsundereviol3nce1440 I guess I'm referring to the whole concept of monarchies.... I mean really..... just by having been born grants you your own sunbeam and automatically angels decend from the heavens and bestow the divine right to rule divinely and therefore your royalty. Give me a break.... like the history of brutality, disfunctional family dynamics, I mean look at Victoria... that was a mental health trainwreck.....ok how about this example...?. Charlie who's marriage to Diana was.... what?... coerced...forced.... had to be another blue blood....he mentally and emotionally drained that woman. All the while still slipping around to be with Camilla....who by the way.....is the granddaughter of his grandfather's mistress. Just move on already... what kind of an example is that for the people who are falling over themselves to get near them.. I'm thinking that whole princess thing is all washed up as well... tell me what you think I really want to understand.
😲 SURPRISE!…. Now, get those old fairytales and Hollywood fables out of your head. Ancient Royalty was far more akin to Shakespearean dramas and Machiavellian plots than Disney tales. Hidden behind all of the medieval castles, lavish palaces, splendid pomp and pageantry, was far more often than not maelstroms of ‘ cloak and dagger ’ , intrigue, and numerous scandals. Ancient royal life wasn’t all ‘ fun and games ’ .

The French theory behind the national anthem isn't proven at all, with alternative more likely origins. I have no idea why it's being sold as fact in this documentary.
TOO MANY COMMERCIALS!!! THEY'RE SO CLOSELY SPACED THAT NO SOONER DOES ONE TAP TO SKIP THAN YOU'RE HAVING TO TAP AGAIN. IT MAKES IT HARDER YO FOLLOW THE STORYLINE, IT WASTES TIME AND FOR ME IT'S JUST NOT WORTH IT!!!!!

It's more than likely they are your ancestors. They are mine. Over 70% of Americans today are decended from the royal and noble families of the world.
It was the Hapsburg Jaw.
Yes...I realized that after posting. My mistake.@@tokyo_taxi7835

Excellent presentation. Loved the story behind the anthem .
Love this video, thank you!
What a great depiction of the epic times..the color.....the antics.....thanks
WHY are the image's so fuzzy ... It isn't easy on the eye's .. just my opinion 😊
This was great
Thank you very much.

Thanks for the video. Very informative.
🍂🍁🍂
Thank you.
Make a video about Windsors also.
The Windsors are still Hanoverian. :D
Did George III have heterochomia? 🤔 23:00 it appears his eyes are 2 different colors. Interesting!
No,his eyes were both blue.
44:01 he said demure
Odd someone can be above others by virtue of birth
Very informative
Brilliant 🎉
Where can I get the original version of the song God Save The King 4:33? it sounds so wonderful
Good. Thanks you for very much for film.
People need to understand that back then marrying a cousin was not a scandal

As they should be
They own a 1/4 of the earth.

They do pay taxes.
The first 3 king Georges hated their first born sons
House of Hanover was the starting point for the prosperity of the United Kingdom！🎉
Long life the King!!
You conviniently forgot the Royal families of Danmark, Norway and Sweden.

History, teatime better
The real Constitutional Throne King at this time is HRH Ivan Talbot: HRH King David III
So who is he? And BTW a king is titled His Majesty not HRH.
😂😂😂 🤡🤡🤡
Oi. Linda Família Beijos Todos Saludos 📡🌎🙋🔥⚡👏👏👏😂💞💋😰😍
New Orleans residents would have a French passport.....
Now I understand how the Seperated States of America become into existence!
the German accents are really just selling the whole thing. Very amusing.

time to learn how to use an ad block, will save you a year's worth of lifespan minimum
King of England? King of Britain surely?
Divide church-state?
The german accents😅😅😅
Thankfully, starting with William and then George, less and less horrid German bloodlines. More British. And with Charles, not marrying cousins.
That's not even a real job. You all sure know how to waste money. The United States does too.
As a German I must say, the German accents are terrible 😂
Thats terrible song. They should use Bohemian Rhapsody instead...
This was great
