- Royal House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha - The history of probably the most European family on the continent.
Royal House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (2017)
Director: Julia Melchior
Genre: Documentary, History, Biography
Language: English
Release date: 13 June 2017 (Germany)
Synopsis:
The Dukes of Coburg seemed doomed to insignificance. Thanks to a skilful marriage policy, in the 19th century they achieve a meteoric rise to become the most important dynasty of their time. They founded the royal houses of Belgium and Bulgaria, ruled England and Portugal and married into the palaces of the whole of Europe.
In her new film, royal house expert Julia Melchior explores the European family network of the Coburgs. Bulgaria's ex-King Simeon welcomes her to his residence in Sofia. In Belgium, the royal family opens the palace doors and in Great Britain she sets off in search of the Coburg roots of the British royal family. Rich in anecdotes and visually stunning, the film uses selected biographies to tell the story of what is probably the most European family on the continent.

Small mistake in the programme: Charles Edward (Karl Eduard) wasn't the nephew of George V; he was his cousin. Their fathers were both sons of Queen Victoria.
🎬❤️👍🏼
And he was the maternal grandfather of the swedish king Carl XVI Gustaf.
Feel better?
Windsors are in reality saxe coburg and gotha
Actually they are now the house of Battenburg
@@anthonydivon5571 NO ! PRINCE PHILIP´S MOTHER WAS A BATTENBERG; ACTUALLY, THEY ARE LIKE PHILIP AND HIS FATHER AND GRANDFATHER ....
THE HOUSE OF: SCHLESWIG- HOSTEIN- SONDERBURG- GLÜCKSBURG , PHILIP USED MOUNTBATTEN LIKE AN ARTIST´S NAME IT WAS NEVER LEGALICED BY ADOPTION
OR ANY OTHER LEGALISATION. AS QUEEN MARY SAID: "THIS MOUNTBATTEN NONSENSE" AS PHILIP INSISTED ON ADDING IT TO WINDSOR !
@@anthonydivon5571 that is true. I stand corrected
@@mgrainger3805 NO IT ISN´T ! PHILPIP´S MOTHER WAS A BATTENBERG; HIS PATERNAL LINE WAS THE HOUSE OF : SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN SONDERURG GLÜCKSBURG:
PHILIP USED MOUNTBATTEN LIKE AN ARTISTS NAME IT WAS NEVER LEGALICED BY ADOPTION OR OTHERWISE !
@@mountbatten2222 so the royal family's house in reality is "Schleswig Holstein..?
I just LOVE these documentaries, greetings from Madison, WI, USA. Thank you for the English narrative. I don’t know German well, although I have been fortunate to have had one year of German in college, and have been able to sing in several choral works in German. I LOVE Queen Matilde, and how much in love King Philippe is with her as much now as when he married her. And she seems so made for the role.
🎬❤️
She (Matilde) was made for the role
I agree wholeheartedly- greetings from your neighbor in Rockford, Illinois, USA.
I enjoyed this video immensely. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback! Stay tuned for more content! 👍🏽❤️🎬
Belgium 🇧🇪 is a lovely little country. Their royal family is related to the British monarchy. King Leopold I of the Belgians was the uncle of Queen Victoria. The King Philippe and Queen Mathilde are held in high esteem by Charles III. Belgium 🇧🇪 is a progressive and enlightened country. I am always happy to visit there 😊
Thanks for your comment. We also recommend this documentary about Kate Middleton - th-cam.com/video/2dlpKcL29sg/w-d-xo.html Maybe you'll like it. 👍🏽❤️🎬
Thank you
Was it the same Leopold who was chopping people's arms off in the Congo?
@@knowz2367 No, it was his son Leopold II who committed crimes in the Congo.
Every European royal family is related to each other, many times over
Excellent synopsis of a great dynasty still relevant today. Long live the family of Saxe Coburg and Gotha
Well said! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 👍🏽❤️🎬
Belgium 🇧🇪 is a first world, highly developed country. Their royal family goes back to the nineteenth century. The royal family rule through the people with democracy at the helm.

Leopold the first was the uncle of Queen Victoria of Britain. Leopold was married to Princess Charlotte of Wales, daughter of George of Fourth of Britain. Princess Charlotte died at childbirth. Her husband went on to become known as King leopold first Belgium. His son leopolthe second became the monster king who committed genocide in Congo.

Leopold II was not the monster you pretend to be. A lot of fake news made by ignorant people. He was not responsible for the hand cuts. Please enlarge your knowledge of history.
Excellent. Thank you. Merci.🇺🇸
🎬❤️
The House of Windsor came into being in 1917, when the name was adopted as the British Royal Family's official name by a proclamation of King George V, replacing the historic name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. It remains the family name of the current Royal Family
Thanks for your comment! 👍🏽❤️🎬
Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your feedback! Stay tuned for more content! 👍🏽❤️🎬
Tsar Simeon II did excellent things for Bulgaria. He might have won a referendum on return to constitutional monarchy but opted for a role of a party leader and prime minister. This harmed his standing but allowed him to help Bulgaria’s entry into NATO and the EU. Noblesse oblige!

The people in the background are really funny 😂😂
Yes, that's true. Thanks for your comment! 😂😂
Le rôle crucial de Lèopold 1er dans la propagation des Saxe-Cobourg au sein des familles Royales au 4 coins de de l'Europe est une évidence.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 👍🏽❤️🎬
We still love our King and his children and I think that's what really matters ❤

Amusing to hear Victoria called “savage” .. Nevertheless, interesting video. Hello from England. Subbed.
Thank you for your feedback! Stay tuned for more content! 👍🏽❤️🎬
Long live the monarchy

Victoria was Alberts cousin, it was hardly the union of two different families

Prime example of inbreeding, leading to proliferation of hemophilia throughout the royal houses of Europe, including Russia
Technically, every human on Earth is related, therefore we are all part of one family.
Filippo ha la perfetta impronta della grande Paola, regina vera e semplice che ha portsto grazia ,bellezza e umiltà nel suo ruolo
Ha ingentilito la dinastia
👍🏽❤️🎬
When I think of the Belgium and The Netherlands I think of the Congo and Apartheid in South Africa. Yet so many think of these tiny principalities as liberal and progressive nations.
Thank you for your comment. We also recommend this documentary on Sweden's Royal Palace' - learn about centuries of royal history, and ongoing exterior renovations - th-cam.com/video/VJ2yFgDnx6U/w-d-xo.html 👍🏽❤️🎬
They are liberal and progressive nations, your opinion about deeds from decades ago don't change that.
So what?
Your sensitivities and inner pre-occupations are not of concern.
@@alyu1129Now they import foreigners to reek havoc
Apartheid was better than the savagery before it, why act like the native African condition is an utopia no it is cannibals , just like their poster boy what's his name from sAfrixa.
Just a question. Queen Victoria was from the House of Hanover before marriage. After her marriage, the house name changed because they used Prince Albert's last name. Is that correct? How come in Queen Elizabeth II's case, the house name remained Windsor? Was it because Prince Philip's last name still sounded more German and WWII was still a fresh memory? In the case of Swedish Crown Princess Victoria, why will the House name not be changed from hers to her husband? Wasn't it a case even before that when a female monarch marries, the house name changes because she used her husbands? Sorry for all the questions.
Queen Victoria remained in the House of Hanover, despite marrying Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The house name changed to Windsor in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment during WWI, under King George V. In Queen Elizabeth II's case, the name stayed Windsor for continuity, and Prince Philip adopted the Windsor name. As for Swedish Crown Princess Victoria, modern royal houses often prioritize matrilineal inheritance or keep the existing house name, reflecting changes in tradition.
@@Official_Royalworld Oh, I see. Thanks. How come I've seen and read the name House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha? Will the House name only change then if the line dies out?
long live our king

Belgium owes the Congo so much money.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We also recommend other documentaries on our channel! 👍🏽❤️🎬
May I kindly draw your attention that Belgium does not owe the Zaire anything. You had your independence in 1960 and are still complaining. I remember the violence against the Europeans on the indépendance and will never forget. Why are so many Africans wishing to come to Europe and north America?
@@notyourbusiness3899Because Europe and North America have destroyed Africa. Independence in Africa was a farce. Western countries are still in charge. Read on neo colonialism.
@@notyourbusiness3899 lets not say that. we did a lot of bad things in Congo as did many other countries in the African contenent.
I admired the late King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola -- they were devout Catholics who stuck to their guns, refusing to sanction abortion in Belgium.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We appreciate your insights and hope you still found the movie engaging.
Correction. Belgian here. Due to his firm catholic beliefs King Baudoin refused to sign a bill allowing abortion (up to a limited period of gestation) to be put into law. Our Belgian government, who found itself in a serious predicament, then pulled a legal trick out of its sleeve by declaring the king 'incapable of governing' for 24hrs during which the bill/law could be passed. In that respect the king was saved from acting against his moral consciousness all while the Belgians would still be able to benefit from this progressive law.
House of Wettin
👍🏽❤️🎬
Their cousin are British
Interesting! 👍🏽❤️🎬
Of course King Phillipe is pro EU. Isn’t most of it based in Belgium. A really money spinner for a small country.

Me gustaría que hiciera doblado al español

Technically their last name is Wettin.
Hey, thx for your comment with the information. 👍🏽❤️🎬

The Tsar of Bulgaria should have been the person to speak directly on the house of the United Kingdom’s dynastic name change as that should have affected him too and he would have a more poignant view on the subject. I believe tho he is of the immensely personally wealthy Catholic Kohary branch so he feels disconnected,
Thanks for your comment! That's an interesting perspective, and the connection to the Koháry branch adds a unique layer to the discussion. Definitely worth considering!
This is the Windsor family

It's not Saxe Coburg and Gotha, it's Saxe Coburg Gotha.
It is actually Saxe Coburg and Gotha but has been shortened to the other in certain publications. Gotha being defined as a separate municipality to Coburg hence the 'and'. Neither is incorrect.
👍🏼🎬❤️
I think it's because there was several Duchies and Principalities in Saxony and a lot of Royal titles , Saxe-Coburg , Saxe-Gotha , Saxe-Meiningen , Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld , Saxe-Coburg-Altenburg and many more.
Some might have got their names when Saxe-Coburg and Saxe-Gotha were independent Duchies , If the Duke a Saxe-Gotha married a Princess of Saxe-Coburg and the Princess moved to Gotha , she and her children would be called Saxe-Coburg-Gotha but if a Saxe-Gotha with a minor title married a Countess from Saxe-Coburg and moved to Coburg they were probably called of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha , they lived in Coburg but still had a Royal title in Gotha , there might be a reason to do with the titles because some are called "von Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha" and some "von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha"
Ferdinand II of Portugal was from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld but his name was Ferdinand August Franz Anton Koháry von Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha in German , Fernando Augusto Francisco António Koháry de Saxe-Coburgo-Gotha in Portuguese and his children with Queen Maria II of Portugal were called de Saxe-Coburgo-Gotha e Bragança , of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Braganza because Queen Maria had an higher title.
"of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha " and "of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha" might depend on the way the person became part of the family. "Of Saxe-Coburg und Gotha" might be someone just "of Saxe-Coburg" that married a Saxe-Coburg-Gotha because at those days they married mainly in the family , including with uncles and first cousins.
I thought Belgium was divided. Flemish speaking in the north, French in the South

Bear with me. I was a little carried away. Belgium is a federal country with a national/federal government and 4 regional governments covering the different communities/languages/cultures of our country. 1) government for Brussels, our capital. A complex situation. Both flemish and french are spoken here. Originally predominantly flemish, due to economic migration by french speaking people from the south and french being a dominant language in the world (french speaking people not really inclined to see the benefit of learning another language, particularly this 'boorish' flemish) the flemish people fearing to be outnumbered (and being imposed to abandon their language) wanted to preserve their flemish culture and their part of control of this important city. Therefore a separate government for the capital where both language communities are represented, was created.
Historically in the 19th and in the first half of the 20th Century, the south was a wealthy region, due to the presence of natural resources, whereas the northern part was predominantly agricultural and poor. Many flemish speaking people migrated to the south. Their succesful integraton depended on abandoning their culture and language. Also in the north, the french speaking elite of that time, trying to erase all things flemish, imposed the french language in administrations, schools, universities, etc. Flemish speaking people perceived this as a form of serious oppression. It was a source of constant rebellion. The final stage of flemish emancipation was confirmed by the economic uprising in Flanders, all while the south was economically declining. On a political level this resulted in the self-government for the 4 communities. Our latest election results (2024, a new federal government is stil in the making) represent an advanced strive for self-government. Until now the southern part of our country was happy to receive the hard needed cash flow from the northern part without adopting the necessary economic and political measures that were agreed on. 2)flemish government for the northern part of the country, dutch speaking (flemish is the local variant of dutch; 3)walloon government for the southern part of the country (french speaking part) and 4)german speaking government (southeastern part of Belgium, territory which was obtained after WW2).
Belgians are German?

Historically, Belgium is half French and half Dutch.
@@JC1533-g7nAnd there’s also a small German population in Belgium, isn’t there? I heard in this documentary that there are THREE official languages in Belgium.
@@julieklein8631 Yes, they, about 80.000 people, live in the south eastern part of Belgium. A territory Belgium obtained after WW1 in 1919 by the treaty of Versailles. And not after WW2 as I mentioned before.

They love multi culturalism and the virtue points of caring for outsiders but fret and complain about their own poor fellow countryman. It’s the same in all these progressive countries. It’s gross.
