Why debase your otherwise adequate videos with hyperbolical HORRIFIC headlines? Death by cholera, bronchitis, or lung cancer - even for a royal - is advertised as HORRIFIC only by those publishers wishing to gain more viewership clicks by luring the type of folks hoping to view HORRIFIC details of death and dying. One is either a historian or a mountebank: One can't have it both ways.
I've often thought this. I generally enjoy these videos, but have sometimes not watched because I am familiar with the topic and know that the headline is overly dramatic and reads a bit click baity
GOOD LORD!! HE WAS ALREADY MOST LIKELY SUFFERING FROM VD PLUS WHEN YOU DIE OF PNEUMONIA YOU DROWN IN YOUR OWN LUNG FLUIDS HORRIFIC ENOUGH FOR YOU YET??
Yes. To be deaf, ni sign language. Just called dumb. And a active (single) homosexual or atleast bisexual during victorian times. All due to premature birth? Haha Wrong times for this guy.
It's very mind boggling how in the world Albert Victor was treated in 1980. You need to go back and change your narrative. You've done this in previous podcasts.
At 5:41 you mentioned that he married Princess Victoria Mary of Teck (Princess May). They were indeed engaged but he passed away a few weeks before the wedding. This Prince did not marry anyone.
This is a beautiful video and contains one or two photographs of The Duke of Clarence which I haven’t seen before. However, might I suggest that you have an assistant check and go through with you, the script for any irregularities in dates, pronouns and facts, before committing it to video form.
Prince Albert Victor was eminently unsuited to be king. It was a “stroke of luck” that he died when he did. Poor Princess Mary. Another princess who lived a life dedicated to service and duty. All princes are grey in the dark applies here. It’s SO fortuitous how things worked out. Isn’t it?😊
Actually I think England was lucky for the duke of Windsor to give up the throne for Willis. He would of destroyed England for he was not the best idea for a king and Wallis married him and lived a miserable life
Not really a 'horrific' death but an untimely one. Many tricky words to deal with here - best to look up the pronunciation online to keep mistakes to a minimum, when posting your commentary! (By way of example - strychnine is pronounced 'strick-neen'; viceroy 'vice-er-roy; miasma 'my-asma' and from your very interesting video on Queen Victoria's funeral - scintillating is pronounced with a soft 'c' so 'sintillating not skintilating - just sayin'!).
It depends on the accent and the region (US or UK). In the UK some people pronounce lieutenant as "leftenant" and the rest of the world pronounces it "lootenant", same goes for viceroy - lots of people would pronounce it "vais-roy". I'm sorry but it's slightly rude to correct people's pronunciation unless they asked you to critique them. Not everyone who speaks English is born in the UK and not everyone speaks English as their first language.
prince albert victor didn't marry May of Teck. they were engaged, true. their wedding was to be held February 27th. He died January 14th, his birthday was january 8.
A funny lad by all accounts....his name is tied up with Jack the Ripper.Also was caught up in a male brothel raid....perhaps it was for the best that his younger brother became King George V
Not caught up in a male brothel raid - he was never mentioned by the rent boys and not seen during lengthy police surveillance of the premises. And the JTR connection is a JOKE!
There was almost a "Twins" aspect to the brothers, as if the younger brother George inherited the better parts of their father while Albert Victor inherited the defects.
I did not hear what a couple of you thought you heard about Albert Victor marrying Princess Mary of Tech. The narrator made it clear they were engaged; that is all. Queen Victoria seemed to use her children/grandchildren as chess pieces, moving them wherever she wanted political gain. She married for love. Why couldn't she have done the same for her family? It boggles the mind. If Prince Albert had not passed when he did, I wonder what influence he would have had on his children's desires to marry for love. This manipulation has played havoc for generations in the family.
Yep, that's what I think too. Apparently he was a free-thinker and that man hired to tutor he and his brother was a real bore and didn't know how to teach.
Sad death. Yes, so many people died back then of what are now simple to cure illnesses -all before the invention of antibiotics. We don’t realize the heartache and suffering they had back then.
@@jackiesmithsmetaldetecting Oh good god stfu. Be grateful you can actually get cured from something that used to kill your great grandparents and their children. You’re alive, aren’t you?

I disagree. Coming from George v we have Johnny who was autistic and epileptic and the Duke of Windsor who was most likely aspie. That would suggest a genetic disposition.
It really was not a question of "intelligence" but an inability to concentrate. The Cambridge tutor who famously claimed when he first knew the prince that he "hardly knows the meaning of the words 'to read'" came to believe there was nothing wrong with him except that he couldn't concentrate for more than a few seconds which obviously impacted his learning. These days, that would be diagnosed as ADD or similar. His handwritten letters absolutely prove his intellect was normal.
Prince Albert Victor DID NOT marry anyone. I am surprised that basic facts are incorrect. Have seen this before from this channel so will now unsubscribe.
@her remarkable history - question, if you'll pardon the tangent, we have post-mortem photos of Queen Victoria, Prince Albert Victor, and other royals. Were these publicly released at the time of their deaths or much later? Would such photos have been taken of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, or have post-mortem images fallen out of favor today?
He got a bad rap. There is an excellent documentary that presents a very different perspective about this poor, much-aligned young man. It's called "Prince Eddy: The King We Never Had" th-cam.com/video/b_r3oFB2CaI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lIZX_SVAJ5uaCNQq And there is absolutely no evidence to suggest he was the Ripper. I think he might have wanted to drastically change the monarchy and the people who were really in charge weren't going to have any of it (just like Princess Diana). He was probably murdered.
Good grief Please get your facts right. I am appalled by the amount of errors you make in nearly all of your videos. The right facts are so very important when you are teaching people about history. Jane in New Zealand 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇳🇿
Why do you describe this as a horrific death? It wasn't pleasant,but he wasn't burned alive, or tortured on the rack, or eaten alive by wild animals! This over emotive way of describing perfectly normal deaths for the age they lived in, is both silly and annoying.
Just as a footnote: Prince Albert Victor is described as, at best, not very bright, but I’ve seen other documentaries describing his younger brother, the future George V, as not very intelligent either. What a family! It's a wonder some of them were able to achieve some degree of intelligence.
George V was never described as 'not intelligent', but as not intellectual. Meaning, he had no interest in arts, culture or philosophy. Not being intellectual doesnt mean you arent intelligent. George was clever and witty enough to save his monarchy in a time when most monarchies toppled all around the world
Albert Victor's and George V.'s (the 5th's) father, Edward vii, was not a good student and considered to "not be very bright." King Edward vii's younger brother Alfred (Alfred Ernest Albert) -- who (like , his nephew. George V) was trained for a naval career (beginning 1850's) was considered to be more intelligent than his older brother, Edward vii. Alfred was made the Duke of Edinburgh by Queen Victoria. He later became the sovereign Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1893 -- 1900) when his paternal uncle (Ernest ii of S-C, G) died. (Ernest ii was the older brother of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband)
