Great video! Queen Louise often visited her family in the UK. While there, she loved going shopping incognito. Because of the London traffic, and the risk of being hit by a vehicle, she always carried a card in her handbag that said "I am the Queen of Sweden".
King Gustav VI Adolf had great foresight to marry Queen Louise, being that she is the aunt of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and sister of Louis Earl Mountbatten of Burma. When King Gustav VI Adolf married her in 1923, this was before Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II were both born.
@@danielaxivitz6188 I meant it was before they were even Queen and Duke of Edinburgh. I know he died when he was 99 in 2021, so I think I have mastered math basics. Elizabeth was born in 1926, but I hope you get the point before everything was set in motion. The marriage was a master stroke because, at the time, Crown Prince Gustav Adolf had no one way of knowing that he would be Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth's uncle by marriage.
@@danielaxivitz6188 True, I didn't catch myself on Prince Philip's date of birth, but a small oversite. King Gustav VI Adolf was someone unquestionably a remarkable person, and of course, he saw the advantages of marrying a Mountbatten.
She was queen when I was born in january 1964, so she was my queen for a year.

One thing that must be wrong is the statement that she was buried next to the king Gustaf VI Adolf. This comment based on the fact that she died in 1965 and the king in 1973 ......
Sorry about the confusion. I meant that her remains are currently buried next to King Gustaf VI Adolf. At the time of her death, they would not have been
Given that Louise had to renouce her Princess title and become known as Lady Louise Mountbatten, why did her sister, Alice (the mother of HRH The Prince Philip) remain known as Princess Alice?
Princess Alice retained the title because she had married Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark in 1903, thus she lost her title Princess of Battenberg but retained her Greek and Danish titles.
@@misscoutts6193They are merely cousins through Queen Victoria, but I agree not a strong resemblance. The Mountbatten had certain chiseled features. Charles surely takes after his Mountbatten relatives. As Charles ages, he looks like his Uncle Dickie (Louis Mountbatten), brother of Queen Louise.
Great video!

Queen Louise of Sweden and Princess Alice, Prince Philip's mother were sisters, daughters of Princess Victoria of Hesse.
Prince Philip was born in 1921

Princess Alice was married to Prince Andrew of Greece.
@@jeannico123 Of course! Many thanks.
Princess Alice retained the title because she had married Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark in 1903, thus she lost her title Princess of Battenberg but retained her Greek and Danish titles.
She enjoyed her life. I enjoyed learning about her
She was really pretty when she was younger
According to Ingrid of Sweden, Louise was a kind and loving stepmother.
The current duke of Kent Prince Edward resembles her

Anne looks like her
They are all of the House of Glucksburg. Yes related.
@@violentofwakes11 true
@@misscoutts6193 yes
Female version of her great nephew Charles III!
She sounds a sight better than her youngest brother.
Not exactly pretty, more striking but, of course, all those jewels helps.
Agree she seemed a female version of Lord Louie, they had similar striking features.
I feel convinced this is a man… no offense intended. Just seems an early example.
Buried next to her husband and his first wife- eww awkward! 😩
He died 1973 so I kind hope she was buried before he was.
Not necessarily. Queen Louise was the first cousin once removed from Crown Princess Margaret.
