- In today’s video we will be focusing on a lesser known Princess: Feodora of Leiningen. Perhaps her name does not ring a bell. That is because her life is often overshadowed by her sister, one of the most famous Queens of the United Kingdom: Queen Victoria. Every history enthusiast knows the story of the 18 year old girl who suddenly became Queen of the United Kingdom and would go on to reign during one of the most important times in history. Her 63 year long reign which is known as the Victorian Era saw a time of industrial, political, scientific and military change. She laid the foundation for a modern monarchy and at the peak of her reign Victoria ruled over a quarter of the World.
By having such a famous sister Feodora is often overshadowed and so today we will learn about her early years in Germany, her sudden connection to the British royal family and her later life.

First time viewer ❤ wow I’m 57 yrs old n proud to b English AND didn’t know this history I’m following you from now on Never too old to learn ❤
Another great episode of a royal we didn't know we needed to hear about!!! Such interesting life of Feodora and her relationship with her sister who clearly adored her
Thanks!
Blow my mind too ❤ so much we didn’t get taught 😢
….It is truly BIZARRE how Feodora was erased from Victoria’s history ….
Queen Victoria was born Alexandrina Victoria, but chose her regal name as Victoria
Thank you. I was not aware Victoria had siblings. I always thought she was an only child. Of course, I’m not fluent in British royalty, but thanks to your videos I will be. 👍🏻
So many hats in that family. Fedora, Homburg, Great Uncle Stetson 🎩🎓🤠👒🥳
Thanks for telling this story I never even known Queen Victoria had a sister 😮 your channel is awesome
Thank you so much!!
Thank you. Very interesting always thought she was alone! As betrayed in the movies. Really did not think she had siblings until your post. 👍🏽 so much interesting information about the royals all over Europe. What a wonderful thing to be able to go back that far in the family tree. 😕
Feodora was the 1/2 sister of Queen Victoria. They had the same mother but only Victoria was born into the royal family. She also had a 1/2 brother as her mother had been married before and had two children with her 1st husband. Victoria was raised as an only child and heir to the throne.
Feodora was more than eleven years older than her halfsister Victoria.
After the death of her stepfather, the Duke of Kent, the "Kensington System" was used to isolate Victoria. As a child, Feodora was one of the few people she was allowed to have contact with, aside from the daughters of Sir John Conroy.
Correct
What an amazing channel!
I love the royal lineage of Queen Victoria’s royal family ❤🏴🇬🇧
Feo's granddaughter Augusta was the Kaiserin. One of her Great granddaughters, niece of the Kaiserin, married Charles Edward, son of Leopold.
I didn’t know she had any siblings either, until I started reading a bit more about her. She always acted like the she was an only child. “Alone”. She wasn’t. Her sister lived with her. Granted, she was older. But she was there. And they loved each other, wrote to each other throughout their lives. And that series Victoria? It did all right until they made poor Fedora some jealous harridan that her and Albert would even oh my I can’t even why did they DO that? Albert wouldn’t, Fedora wouldn’t, and Victoria and her sister were so close until death. What a SMEAR on her, and Albert, and now people will think that. Shame on them, for doing that. For salacious reasons. I guess the fact that they were absolutely devoted to each other wasn’t good enough? This series is most peoples knowledge of Victoria and Albert, unfortunately .
As a sibling, I get it.
She too was a haemophilia carrier. One son and two grandsons died of it.
Feodora was so much prettier than Victoria, it’s amazing they’re even related…
Who knew she had siblings
What happened to the brother?
Karl, Prince of Leiningen, KG (Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Emich; 12 September 1804 - 13 November 1856 because of stroke
As a mediatized house, the Princes of the Leiningen were members of the Landtag diet in Baden, as well as in Bavaria and Hesse. Prince Karl became president of the Bavarian upper house (Reichsrat) in 1842 and also pursued a career in the Bavarian Army as Lieutenant general à la suite of the Cavalry. On 20 April 1842, he and 20 other noblemen gathered at Biebrich Palace, where they established the Adelsverein to organize the settlement of German emigrants in Texas; Karl was elected president of the society.
By the German revolutions of 1848-49, Leiningen had achieved much reputation as a liberal reformer and freethinker. He advocated the implementation of parliamentarism and openly criticized aristocracy's privileges; therefore, he was appointed Prime Minister of Revolutionary Germany by Regent (Reichsverweser) Archduke John of Austria on 6 August 1848. With a Catholic head of state and a Lutheran head of government, an equilibrium was reached in German dualism; moreover, Leiningen's close relations to the British Royal House were generally appreciated. His cabinet initially could rely on a liberal and left-wing majority in the newly established Frankfurt Parliament, however, as early as on 5 September, he resigned over the Schleswig-Holstein Question when in the First Schleswig War King Frederick William IV of Prussia unilaterally signed an armistice with Denmark at Malmö. The delegates of the Frankfurt assembly reacted with outrage and Leiningen, unable to assert the powers of the central authority, was forced to step down. He was succeeded by the Austrian politician Anton von Schmerling, who acted as Prime Minister until December.
In 1851, Karl also resigned as president of the Adelsverein and was succeeded by Prince Hermann of Wied. Shortly after his half sister's daughter Victoria became engaged to Prince Frederick of Prussia, in 1855, he suffered a severe apoplectic attack. A second attack in November the following year was fatal, and he died at Waldleiningen Castle at the age of fifty-two, with his sister Feodora at his bedside.
Vary your intonation.

It rings a bell, until Albert got rid of her and Victoria`s nanny..
No….She had married and left long before Victoria had grown up
I suspect those Royals were quite ugly but their paintings told a different image.
Sadly beautifudlluy
The Queen that done nothing to help the starving people of Ireland at the time
When the Monarch does something people get mad for her/him threatening democracy, when the Monarch does nothing people get mad also.
Feodora was not QV's unknown sister!
first
First at saying nothing is important?
“They had little money…” but moved into Kensington Palace…. This is laughable
Kensington Palace was a grace and favour residence and apartments in it were given to many relations and members of the household
@@jeremyparsons4940 your point being?
Victoria was nade to share a bed chamber with her mother, as soon as she outgrew the need of a nursery and nannies. This was supposed to strengthen her mother's control over Victoria. The two shared a bed chamber until Victoria gained the throne and removed her mother from control. How was she supposed to have married a minor prince and have two more children in a German principality while living in England, smothering her daughter until she vecame queen at 18?
The math doesn't support this 'history.'
I'm inclined to believe the girl was Victoria 's cousin as siblings simply cannot work within the known FACTS of Victoria 's life in England.
These were OLDER children from her FIRST marriage.
Victoria was from her SECOND marriage.
You should really work on your ability to listening comprehension and how to process the data or just simply do a little bevor writing such nonsense theories based only on your limited knowledge
@@PPfilmemacherreminds me of my know it all (but really doesn't know much at all about anything) sister. Lol😊
I think you must mean "forgotten BY history." It's English.
She was queen Victoria's cousin not her sister.
No, she was the queen’s half sister
They shared the same mother, Victoria being the younger. It was through her father being a son of King George 3rd that she succeeded King William 4th
Oooh, wrong answer. They were 1/2 sisters.
If she was 'unknown', how do you know about her? Stupid titles get video's ignored. Bye.
