These ladies all had such sad lives despite their wealth....I really appreciate all your efforts and work for these videos.
Thank you!
''all'' 🤨
LOL
This (and other of your videos on the Dollar American Princesses) is a *terrible* advertisement for the British male aristocracy!!! 😀
Loved it!
Glad you enjoyed!
Sad story . I always look up their descendants after watching your videos . Thanks.
Loved this video. Very sad how people have so much money and steal.
So much of Consuelo Yznaga's life was filled with sadness, loneliness, and rejection. Yet she persevered, forging a path for herself in a difficult place.
As always, good timing with amazing lifetime history. Thank you FLives, you are very appreciated
Glad you enjoyed it
@@ForgottenLives
Very much so! Thank you
I have a suggestion for you! The names are well known in the US, but hardly anyone knows that two of our presidents started out as indentured servants. If they had been black, they would have been called slaves. Andrew Johnson's parents sold him to a tailor, and he made all his own clothes for the rest of his life. Millard Fillmore's parents sold him to a weaver. Both boys were mistreated by their owners. My brother was a political science professor, and he once wrote a book about the presidents. He was very surprised when I told him about this. He had no idea!
Yes please, I would like to know more about the life of Pocahontas of the Powhatan people, I believe. Thank you. You do wonderful work.
Great Monday!! Thanks!!
Our pleasure!
Princess Alice, Prince Philip's mother, is a good story to cover.
The Prince of Wales was a roue as they used to say back in the day, a ne'er do well indeed! Consuela's tiara was exquisite!
Enjoyed this feature it was very intriguing and yet sad. Great investigating, presentation, historical information, illustrations and photos, too.
Many thanks!
I love that I am learning about people I was not aware of,and all the info and all the graphics etc are great,thankyou😊
Another great video. Thank you for your time. Greetings from Dimboola, in Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺. 😊

*Hello everyone 😁 **_from the Lost Coast of California🌲🌲🌊🌊🌊🕊️_*
You do great research for these and always make them fascinating. Thanks very much again!! 🙂
Hello Forgotten Lives, I love your videos and your brother's videos as well. Both of you have such different content, but still they're entertaining even if it's from different aspects of my emotions. You should be soo proud of yourself with this channel and how big it has become. 😊
Being born into such opulence and wealth is beyond comprehension!
Isnt it though? It obviously didn't buy happiness. I for one, cant imagine caring that much about money.
I really enjoy these videos!
I'm so glad! More to come!
I love these stories
Very interesting. Thank you so much!
Yes I want more! At least she had some fun with her money before it all got dwindled away. I don't imagine any Fortune could last with divorces in the picture😅
I thoroughly enjoy your channel. I had no idea Consuelo Vanderbilt was named after anyone.
Great stories. Thank you!
03:04 "...This was an Age in which a large proportion of Britain's oldest Noble Houses had found themselves in financial difficulties after years, or even centuries, of maintaining lavish households in London & country estates. Many families had suffered from reckless individuals squandering parts of their fortune playing cards in the capital or even from investing in speculative economic activities...."
OOOOOH, how this rings ever so true in 2023 worldwide.
I had to laugh when you said he was a “ borderline alcoholic “ . I do believe it’s like being pregnant either you are or you are not. No wiggle room son.
Funny... I thought the same thing.. British understatement.
Like being 'NEARLY' a virgin??! lol!
So interesting , thank you, so much money but sad lives x
There's a curse on sugar from its connection to slavery. (That's why it causes tooth decay!)
I know that marrying for money and status was the societal norm for centuries, but it seems that so many of those marriages for money were also deeply unhappy. Was getting enough money to pay off your debts really worth sentencing your child to terrible unhappiness possibly for their entire life (unless the spouse died or got permission to have a separation). Divorce for most of the 19th century required an actual act of Parliament in the UK and a state legislature or top court in the US which made them exorbitantly expensive and very difficult to get-unless you had friends in the right high places and enough money to grease their palms. It also made what was supposed to be a loving relationship into a quid pro quo transaction instead. I’m so grateful that this terrible idea is now mostly a thing of the past although I know that such marriages do happen in other parts of the world and in certain societies!
So C.Vanderbuilt died the year I was born I wonder what month and day,of that year ? Interesting all of your videos, I have often wondered what happened to the tiara that Queen Alexandra wore, was it broken up?
The past is another country
This sounds exactly like the fate of Consuelo Vanderbilt, who was named after this Consuelo.
Love this type of video
Thank you 😊
Hey buddy 😊
Hey hey!
Ive been told, & read that they called the women who became British brides were called American Dollar Princesses.
The only happy marriage was between Lord Curzon.and his American wife. I think her name was Mary Leiter (?) and she was from a rich Chicago family. It was a money merger but they actually fell in love and adored each other. He and Mary became the Viceroy and Vicereign of India. To be Viceroy of India was a supreme honor. Unfortunately, she died very young - I think in her 30s. He was devastated. It's almost like these marriages were cursed. The people were weak, self-indulgent, wanton, drunken spendthrifts who made each other miserable. The one couple who found true love was separated through death.
I have covered her life too! Around a month ago :)
I wonder if she knew Consuelo Vanderbilt.
ETA: Indeed! :)
Hi 🎉🎉
Hello 😊
" hey honey I am marrying you off to the Lord Blah blah blah, hope you have a great life, and by the way .lets just act like I didn't take a million dollars for your ass"

women were not well treated in the world, before the mid 20th century, especially in Europe or England. NO, I am not related in any way to these "yznagas". the most successful "branch" oroffshoot, have dwelled in Texas and surrounding areas for many decades. My family were unimportant people, who married a french woman who eventually they moved from France to America in Philadelphia, then Virginia. Most of my relatives and even recent ones are dead. And that is okay. It is called Life and destiny. there are many families called Yznaga or different spelling, just like "Thomas" or "jones". many of them are not related.
It was a man. The end.
Lol, broke aristocrats looking down on new money... ok girl.
"... property ON Rhode Island." 😂 Fun fact: Rhode Island isn't one. An island that is !:-)
I was going to mention that as well. Although his research and stories are excellent, he often gets the some American facts incorrect.. Along with woefully mispronounced "American English" vs "UK / British English" words.
thx for pronouncing ''nee'' properly, and tyvm for another upload.
🦬🇨🇦🤟
Thanks for watching! And I am always looking to improve the vids :)
Yes, his pronunciation is always excellent and so is his grammar. It's too bad that we've reached the point at which it's necessary to thank or praise someone for doing something that all of us should do, but unfortunately we've really reached that point. If I hear one more person say "I was laying down when the doorbell rang", or mispronounce something so badly as to make it sound like another word entirely, I'll be forced to wave the white flag of surrender to the success of the deliberate dumbing down agenda. 😂😪
