I honestly bet that Charles wouldnt be so unpopular and disliked and same with Camilla if they let him marry her in the first place instead of forcing him to marry Diana.
I think so too. It’s sad that they were pushed into the marriage. I hate Diana suffered so much. I do love William and Catherine and don’t think Charles and Camilla’s kids would have had the real world experience and connection to average people that Diana facilitated.
while there is a lot made of the drama of Diana's sons walking behind her funeral procession - honestly loosing a parent in an accident is sudden and traumatic no matter what decisions are made. I think they'd likely be regretting it now if they hadn't walked. Some things, you can't win either way. It's just going to be hard.
My understanding is that Harry wanted to walk in the procession but William did not. Prince Phillip encouraged him to so his brother could and so he wouldn't regret it later and he walked with him in support. Not sure why Lindsay made it sound like Phillip bullied two grieving kids.
Yeah I agree I don’t know why the video makes it seem like something it wasn’t. From my understanding of what happened, it was more so Philip asking his grandsons if they would feel better about doing it if he were to walk with them. That’s why he’s walking behind Diana’s casket, I’m pretty sure he originally wasn’t going to be a part of the procession. Plus, thinking about how he’d been separated from both his parents then having his favorite sister die when he was very young probably meant Philip had a lot of empathy for what his grandsons were going through and had the hindsight to know they’d more than likely regret not doing it, so he wanted to be there right beside them in the moment as added support and to encourage them to not let the grief they were experiencing in that moment lead to regret later on in life.
unfortunately, people often get a better story out of villainizing philip. note how she didn’t talk about all the good that he contributed, much like she did albert, but instead talked about rumours that have very little to no ground at all. philip continued writing diana even after her divorce and she, very affectionately, called him papa or dearest papa. he was always loving towards his children and grandchildren, even if it was in a slightly stilted way. look at anne’s upbringing, for example.
@@ChemGirlLiberal Yes, quite a few sources have said that when William asked Prince Phillip what he should do, he said that he would support William in whatever he wanted, and would not allow anyone to try to force him one way or the other, but if it was him personally, he'd regret not doing it. We must remember that a Phillip of almost the same age chose to walk behind his sister's coffin despite being surrounded by Nazis, so he knew what he was about. It's interesting though that, nowadays, Harry says he regrets it. He admits he wanted to do it, but says he wishes at 12 that someone had talked him out of it, that he had no idea how traumatic it would be for him until it was too late.
Elizabeth you're so old that when God said "Let their be light" you turned the light switch on Your so old that history class wasn't even a thing in your school

@@ChibiProwl i really enjoy listening to her childhood stories growing up in 1920s london and of the events during the Second World War. her father was born in 1883 and served in the british army during the Great War and passed away in 1949, 2 years after my grandmother was born. her mother was born in 1887 and passed away in 1972 two years after my mother was born.

@@ChibiProwl it’s sad to me that I never got the opportunity to meet any of my great grandfathers who served in the British Navy and Air Force, all of them passed away in the 1980s due to ill health. I’m still forever grateful to know my great grandmother who has told many story’s to me.
Prince Albert seemed like a rarity among the royals - loyal husband and loving father, managing the palace and able to secure the Royal Family's finance, giving his children equal tutelage and practical skills. Huh, no wonder Victoria truly loved him and got so depressed after his death.
Love the photo of Alexandra of Denmark piggybacking her child at ~9:00. There's a similar photo of her sister Maria Feodorovna with her son Nicolas II. One can imagine these sisters, who were quite close throughout their lives, excitedly exchanging these photos or hanging them together in their jointly owned villa at Hvidøre . I'd love to see a dual biography of these ladies some day.
She's not the longest-lived member of the Royal Family either. Her sister-in-law, the late Dowager Duchess of Gloucester outlived her by a year or two, chronologically. (Princess Alice was a bit younger than the Queen Mum, but died in 2004.)
Albert did NOT introduce the Christmas tree: he and Victoria may have popularized it, but the first Christmas trees in Britain were displayed by Queen Charlotte at her grand Christmas reception every year.
I am always mesmerized with the beauty of Queen Alexandra and always fascinated by her noble conduct towards her husband's infidelity. Being able to put up with that and still being graceful earned her respect and honor as a Queen, I believe.
Well, that can mean a lot of things, not just sex. Victoria wrote a similar note in her diary (about being unable to sleep much) the night before her arrival at Versailles during her historic 1855 state visit to France. She'd heard about the legendary palace all her life and was about to see it herself. She and Albert were the first British royal couple to ever set foot in it.
Packed with fantastic info even a history addict like myself didn’t know and pictures Iv also never seen. Joined patrion to see all 8 episodes it’s worth every penny and more absolutely recommended
1:28 Something that should be noted. Alberts mother was only 16 when she was forced to marry a man almost twice her age. He had been sleeping around with prostitutes, servant girls & married women for many years, was very cold, unkind, abusive to his 16 year old wife. In her journals she writes of how her husband was "extremely rough, leaving bruises upon my womans parts as well, as chafing and extreme soreness, it has given me my sons, as is my wifely duty." After 8 years of cruel treatment, she left him. I would probably have left hi after 2 years.
I'm not from the UK nor a part of the commonwealth country but i love learning about the british monarchs. This series is amazing and I could not wait what will you do next ! ❤
I can't help but imagine some of the younger royals reading their history and going, "great grandma was a klepto!!" I've thoroughly enjoyed this series.
RIP Prince Philip while watching this video's potion on him I got the news notification on my phone saying he had passed. Just said to myself I hope he makes it to his 100th. He made us shake our heads and laugh at times but he seriously should be remembered for his long life of public service.
Personally I hold no grudges against Camilla. None of the three was innocent and much (not all) was due to Charles' parents. But considering her popularity I applaud her for being modest enough to announce and again confirm to not claim the title of "Queen Consort", since for many ppl Diana will always be their "Queen of Hearts". I think what we got is the best compromise between offending Diana's die-hard fans and breaking royal protocol.
Honestly it should be a permanent change that the consort is Prince/Princess and only monarch is King/Queen. It would make it more clear and equal. It’s odd that a Queens consort can’t be King, it makes title Queen seem weaker. So both Camilla and Kate imo should follow Prince Philip and be Princess Consorts. As well as George’s future wife of monarchy exists still then.
*If your 19 year old naïve daughter gets married to a 32 year old prince and thrust into public life and prince's mistress still didn't leave them alone and they didn't get the chance to become close, then you will held personal grudges against the mistress,* also against the prince for not having the guts to fight for his 'love' instead of ruining the youth of a young girl...
I'm not sure if Brits use this term too, but Phillip was what we Americans call a "loose cannon", someone who is more risky to cause damage. Unfortunately, he made several MASSIVE social blunders in his role. Albert's always been the one I've respected more personally.
This series ended really fast but I enjoyed every part of it. 😊 Now that you have covered English and British monarchs and consorts, I think you should other series on Scottish monarchs and consorts up until the reign of James VI and I. That’d be interesting to watch too. 👍🏻
Sad it's ended. A video on Urraca of Leon and Castile like I said on Tuesday would be great, but I would like videos on the missing mothers: Adela of Normandy, Joan of Kent, Blanche of Lancaster, Mary de Bohun, Cecily Neville, Margaret Beaufort, Mary, Princess Royal, Anne Hyde, Sophia of Hanover, Augusta of Saxe-Gotha and Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld
Mothers of Stephen, Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Edward IV and Richard III, Henry VII, William III, Mary II, George I, George III and Victoria. And I forgot William the Conqueror's mother Herleva.
@@clewrites You could also include Gytha, mother of Harold Godwinson. Canute the Great's mother is technically unknown, as there are conflicting historical accounts. While there are many theories, it would be impossible to make a video about her. It would be more legend than fact.
Alexandra is my favorite Queen Consort. I love her fashion and seriously ornate jewelry tastes. I also love the relationship she had with her sister, Maria Feodorovna of Russia.
Mary of Teck was in fact not Queen Victoria’s first cousin. Her mother Mary Adelaide of Cambridge was, which made Mary of Teck her first cousin once removed. This was a FASCINATING series btw and you did an awesome job as usual. Keep up the excellent work & keep education and entertaining us!!!
My all time favorite royal couple is Victoria and Albert 💞 Albert is the ultimate husband goal ever and Victoria was so lucky. So sad to see him pass away at a somewhat early age
I'm so sad that this is coming to an end. I've thoroughly enjoyed these videos. Thank for your hard work. I know I seem to be saying this every time, but that's how it is. I look forward to seeing more content from you.
Not entirely. Remember France was governed by the Third Republic during that era. It was however a war waged by government officials greed for power (whether elected or royalty).
Just finished this series and read the news about the Princes’ death this morning. RIP Prince Philip thank you for your long service and your dedication to the queen may she reign longer!!!
I liked it, but you said that Prince Phillip made the boys walk behind the coffin of Diana. That is not true. He said if you walk I will walk with you. You don’t want to regret not doing it. I really disagree with you on that and then pinning the tragic accident on Him that he had her “killed!?” I’m sorry but you are wrong!
I was enjoying this video, and had started the section on Prince Phillip when it was first announced that he had just passed away. It was very surprising, even though his health has not been the best. He has been with Elizabeth ll for so many years. Most do not know a time without them both. I am feeling saddened for Queen Elizabeth, who must carry on now without her best friend and husband. God bless them both.
I read in Alexandra’s biography that she was long skeptical of her German cousins, in fact she hated them. George’s changing the family name was attributed to Alexandra’s insistence for years after her husband died, that they appear British and divorce themselves from their German relatives.
@@kerth2045 While it is true that all the royals at that time were at least partly of German descent (as was Alexandra’s offspring through her husband, who was probably mostly German), Alexandra’s mother half German or less, and though she was born in Germany, lived most of her life from age 3 in Denmark. Going back in her line, they were all born in Denmark and all at least partly Danish, mostly more than half. It’s a fine line, given the two countries are closely related as were their royal lines. Her father was Danish royalty. In fact, her father also had British royal heritage. But she was born and raised in Denmark and abhorred her German royal cousins, considered herself and her family Danish, and they were Danish royalty serving the citizens of Denmark. That’s a fact and makes her Danish. I don’t know your nationality, and whether you are European, but I think if you were European, especially at that time, you’d understand that concept better. It’s not like here in the US where we wear our heritage from a different land with pride, while pledging our allegiance to the country we were living in.
@@kerth2045 Sorry, but Alexandra was mostly Danish. I explained that before. If one actually reads about her one would know. Prince Philip was also German. And he was Danish. And he was Greek. But-he’s British somehow? 🤔 Yeah. It’s not that simple. “Louise was born as the daughter of Prince William of Hesse-Kassel and Princess Charlotte of Denmark. Louise was Queen of Denmark as the wife of King Christian IX, her second cousin, from 15 November 1863 until her death in 1898.” Louise was HALF German. Which makes Alexandra 75% Danish. #Fact
I was in my final month's in secondary school when the Queen Mother passed away, the funeral procession drove past Datchet where my school is to Windsor Castle. The headmaster allowed my year(seniors) to stand along the path as the procession passed, we all bowed our heads in silence & respect.
Amazing series am grateful for~ cannot help noticing ending this series with Prince consort Phillip, who just died as this was aired~ such synchronicitiy💫💖🌎
WHAT?! It’s the last part ??? Thank you for this journey Lindsay !!! Maybe the next series you can do is the mothers of rulers who were like never crowned queens
We are all so lucky to have subscribed to Lindsay Haliday’s channel here and to have had this video fresh in our minds these past hours with Prince Philip health as he prepared to move on to the next realm. Wonderful work, Lindsay. Thank You!
I remember when the Queen mother died, I was only seven at the time. Me and my mum went to see the coffin, it was the longest queue I’ve ever been in. And I still vaguely remember going round it.
The late Prince Philip did as much as he could as a Prince consort to modernise and restore the monarchy in the vast changing modern world to cope up with. Televising the grand coronation of 1953 was such a remarkable upgrade
I really enjoyed this video series. However I suggest that you consider updating the part about Prince Philip, who died peacefully in April 2021, two months short of his 100th birthday. Even so, thank you so much for sharing this most interesting and educational video series with us! Well done indeed!
His statement was gendered, so it's not exactly (factually) incorrect. In any case, Philip & Elizabeth were on the same-page about the dynastic name (Mountbatten), it as Churchill who pressured them to keep Windsor for the sake of 'continuity.' They've gotten back at them since. The form used by Archie & a few others is 'Mountbatten-Windsor,' which will probably be the name the subsequent dynasty is remembered by (if it survives long enough to be remembered).
@@jeandehuit5385 she never said it was factually inaccurate. She was pointing out sexism and what a whiney bitch he was for complaining about something literally every woman in western culture deals with.
@@jeandehuit5385 women back then weren't sitting around complaining because their children didn't have their surname. He was making mountains put of mole hills
@@casierandolph2254 but he was a man thoo sooo🤧 you mad at Prince Philip while he literally lives in a era where surnames are literally taken from the father lol. No female whining about this problem lmao
@@casierandolph2254 and to be fair, Philip literally has given up everything to marry Elizabeth. His title as Prince of Greece & Denmark got stripped away, and replaced with only a dukedom. He only got the Prince title decade later. He was seen as a beggar Prince, and even gave up his navy career after Elizabeth coronation. So his little complain is not compared to all of that lol
Very well done! I was looking forward to this episode, yet I'm sad that it means that the series is at an end. Great job, as always. Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you, my friend!

A video on Urraca of Leon and Castile like I said on Tuesday would be great, but I would like videos on the missing mothers: Adela of Normandy, Joan of Kent, Blanche of Lancaster, Mary de Bohun, Cecily Neville, Margaret Beaufort, Mary, Princess Royal, Anne Hyde, Sophia of Hanover, Augusta of Saxe-Gotha and Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld
Mothers of Stephen, Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Edward IV and Richard III, Henry VII, William III, Mary II, George I, George III and Victoria. And I forgot William the Conqueror's mother Herleva.
@@clewrites You could also include Gytha, mother of Harold Godwinson.
Canute the Great's mother is technically unknown, as there are conflicting historical accounts. While there are many theories, it would be impossible to make a video about her. It would be more legend than fact.
@@jeandehuit5385 Oh sorry.
Ahh I just finished watching part 7 and I was about to sleep and I got a notification about this being uploaded. Such a good series 🥰🥰
Alexandra is my favorite Queen Consort. I love her fashion and seriously ornate jewelry tastes. I also love the relationship she had with her sister, Maria Feodorovna of Russia.
i would love to see biographys of the missing mothers in this series (like the mothers of richard II and victoria)
Yes, I love Joan of Kent!
Biographies
A wonderful finale to a massively enteratining series 😍
RIP Prince Phillip. My condolences with the UK and the Queen.
Mary of Teck was in fact not Queen Victoria’s first cousin. Her mother Mary Adelaide of Cambridge was, which made Mary of Teck her first cousin once removed. This was a FASCINATING series btw and you did an awesome job as usual. Keep up the excellent work & keep education and entertaining us!!!
They were still first cousins
Queen Victoria’s mourning for Albert kind of breaks my heart
Just finished watching the video and thinking "Gosh, Prince Philip will be 100 in two months" and found out he passed today.... RIP
I watched this part hrs ago & now I'm back cause of the sad news about Prince Philip. RIP :(
This feels a lot more poignant, after today’s news.
RIP Prince Philip
My all time favorite royal couple is Victoria and Albert 💞
Albert is the ultimate husband goal ever and Victoria was so lucky. So sad to see him pass away at a somewhat early age
Less than 24 hours later. Prince Philip dies at 99. May his sould rest and the queen mourn in peace. You will forever be missed.
RIP Prince Phillip. And thank you Lindsay for such wonderful series!
I'm so sad that this is coming to an end. I've thoroughly enjoyed these videos. Thank for your hard work. I know I seem to be saying this every time, but that's how it is. I look forward to seeing more content from you.
So WW1 was a family feud that cost thousands of lives? And I thought my family was messed up...
Hahaha
Oh, don’t worry your highness, your family is messed up
Not entirely. Remember France was governed by the Third Republic during that era. It was however a war waged by government officials greed for power (whether elected or royalty).
Need like millions of lives
Just finished this series and read the news about the Princes’ death this morning. RIP Prince Philip thank you for your long service and your dedication to the queen may she reign longer!!!
God save Lindsay Holiday for making these calming, fascinating videos we love! 👸🏼
Hey Lindsay, could you do a video series of famous mistresses like Madame de Pompadour?
If Lindsay covers her, she must include her title of "Snogger of the Lord of Time" :P
I went to Osborne house today, lovely experience, it looked like an Italian palace in a way, 100% recommend!
Prince Phillip will never reach the same age as the Queen mother did as he died today aged 99
Victoria and Albert for the WIN! Absolutely AMAZING series, thank you, Ms. Holiday!
Rest in peace, Prince Philip. :(
Awesome series! Reason I joined your patreon :)
I liked it, but you said that Prince Phillip made the boys walk behind the coffin of Diana. That is not true. He said if you walk I will walk with you. You don’t want to regret not doing it. I really disagree with you on that and then pinning the tragic accident on Him that he had her “killed!?” I’m sorry but you are wrong!
I was enjoying this video, and had started the section on Prince Phillip when it was first announced that he had just passed away. It was very surprising, even though his health has not been the best. He has been with Elizabeth ll for so many years.
Most do not know a time without them both. I am feeling saddened for Queen Elizabeth, who must carry on now without her best friend and husband. God bless them both.
I read in Alexandra’s biography that she was long skeptical of her German cousins, in fact she hated them. George’s changing the family name was attributed to Alexandra’s insistence for years after her husband died, that they appear British and divorce themselves from their German relatives.
Her own mother was German which made Alexandra half a German herself
@@StormyDay Alexandras mother was Luise of Hessen-Kassel. Definitely a place in Germany. Enjoy your day.
@@kerth2045 While it is true that all the royals at that time were at least partly of German descent (as was Alexandra’s offspring through her husband, who was probably mostly German), Alexandra’s mother half German or less, and though she was born in Germany, lived most of her life from age 3 in Denmark. Going back in her line, they were all born in Denmark and all at least partly Danish, mostly more than half. It’s a fine line, given the two countries are closely related as were their royal lines. Her father was Danish royalty. In fact, her father also had British royal heritage. But she was born and raised in Denmark and abhorred her German royal cousins, considered herself and her family Danish, and they were Danish royalty serving the citizens of Denmark. That’s a fact and makes her Danish. I don’t know your nationality, and whether you are European, but I think if you were European, especially at that time, you’d understand that concept better. It’s not like here in the US where we wear our heritage from a different land with pride, while pledging our allegiance to the country we were living in.
@@kerth2045 Sorry, but Alexandra was mostly Danish. I explained that before. If one actually reads about her one would know. Prince Philip was also German. And he was Danish. And he was Greek. But-he’s British somehow? 🤔 Yeah. It’s not that simple. “Louise was born as the daughter of Prince William of Hesse-Kassel and Princess Charlotte of Denmark. Louise was Queen of Denmark as the wife of King Christian IX, her second cousin, from 15 November 1863 until her death in 1898.” Louise was HALF German. Which makes Alexandra 75% Danish. #Fact
I was in my final month's in secondary school when the Queen Mother passed away, the funeral procession drove past Datchet where my school is to Windsor Castle. The headmaster allowed my year(seniors) to stand along the path as the procession passed, we all bowed our heads in silence & respect.
not even 24 hours passes and Prince Phillip is dead...RIP
Prince Philip just died so no consorts for a while, rip to him
Queen Ena (Victoria Eugenie) of Spain was the wife of Alfonso XIII, not VIII.
Amazing series am grateful for~ cannot help noticing ending this series with Prince consort Phillip, who just died as this was aired~ such synchronicitiy💫💖🌎
WHAT?! It’s the last part ??? Thank you for this journey Lindsay !!!
Maybe the next series you can do is the mothers of rulers who were like never crowned queens
We are all so lucky to have subscribed to Lindsay Haliday’s channel here and to have had this video fresh in our minds these past hours with Prince Philip health as he prepared to move on to the next realm. Wonderful work, Lindsay. Thank You!
To think I watched this earlier only a few hours later we would lose our longest serving consort.. RIP prince Phillip
I remember when the Queen mother died, I was only seven at the time.
Me and my mum went to see the coffin, it was the longest queue I’ve ever been in.
And I still vaguely remember going round it.
I was less than 1 year
of age back then
You shall be missed Phillip, you served your country well. 99 years is an amazing life
I think she accidentally said 100
The parallels between Alexandra and Diana are astounding, the related Alice and Camilla non withstanding.
Just watched the video this morning, and now it was just announced the Prince Philip has passed away. The end of an era... :(
How befitting it is that this is posted on the same day that Prince Philip died
I absolutely adored this series! Thank you!
Albert is one of the BEST consorts istg, if I cant have anime boys , I'm finding a man like him
Literally not even after a day this was made, prince Phillip has passed away!
Rip :-(
The late Prince Philip did as much as he could as a Prince consort to modernise and restore the monarchy in the vast changing modern world to cope up with. Televising the grand coronation of 1953 was such a remarkable upgrade
Loved this series so much!! I'm sad its over.
Sadly, Philip never reach his centennial year. May the Duke of Edinburgh rest in peace
Thank you for that wonderful video. Now, just a day later, Philip of Mountbatten is no longer. He did a remarkable job. Thank you for your service
I really enjoyed this video series. However I suggest that you consider updating the part about Prince Philip, who died peacefully in April 2021, two months short of his 100th birthday. Even so, thank you so much for sharing this most interesting and educational video series with us! Well done indeed!
"I'm the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his children" - wait til this fool hears about women.
His statement was gendered, so it's not exactly (factually) incorrect. In any case, Philip & Elizabeth were on the same-page about the dynastic name (Mountbatten), it as Churchill who pressured them to keep Windsor for the sake of 'continuity.'
They've gotten back at them since. The form used by Archie & a few others is 'Mountbatten-Windsor,' which will probably be the name the subsequent dynasty is remembered by (if it survives long enough to be remembered).
@@jeandehuit5385 she never said it was factually inaccurate. She was pointing out sexism and what a whiney bitch he was for complaining about something literally every woman in western culture deals with.
@@jeandehuit5385 women back then weren't sitting around complaining because their children didn't have their surname. He was making mountains put of mole hills
@@casierandolph2254 but he was a man thoo sooo🤧 you mad at Prince Philip while he literally lives in a era where surnames are literally taken from the father lol. No female whining about this problem lmao
@@casierandolph2254 and to be fair, Philip literally has given up everything to marry Elizabeth. His title as Prince of Greece & Denmark got stripped away, and replaced with only a dukedom. He only got the Prince title decade later. He was seen as a beggar Prince, and even gave up his navy career after Elizabeth coronation. So his little complain is not compared to all of that lol
Very well done! I was looking forward to this episode, yet I'm sad that it means that the series is at an end. Great job, as always. Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you, my friend!
Mount Batten wasn't taken after Phillip's mother's British family, it was originally the German Battenberg and Anglicized.
Thank you Lindsay, I enjoy these videos so much and they bring me so much happiness. THANK YOU FOR THESE SERIES. Can’t wait qo see what’s next.
i LOVED this series. very informative but in a way where its easy to grasp like all of your other videos!! ive tried out editing and boy its a lot more time consuming than i thought lol so thank you for putting in the work to make these
Thank you Lindsay. An enchanting presentation.
The timing with prince philip's death
I love all your videos!
Thank you so much for all your research and putting these videos together. Their factual, educational and entertaining.
Lindsay, you are awesome!
Watches this last night and woke up with the terrible news of Prince Phillip’s death. May he rest in peace.
Queen Alexandra and King Edward Vii aren’t buried in Sandringham. They reside at St George’s Chapel Windsor. See there tomb.
I and Camilla, duchess of Cornflakes also would have featured in this video if the queen wasn't immortal, duh ;)
P.S:- I wrote Cornflakes on purpose and I don't need to explain why ;)
duchess of cornflakes 😂
why camilla? she literally ruined yours and Charles relationship. She also ruined your kids childhood. dont include Camilla thx
You're hilarious, your highness!
No, you don’t.😂
Period boo❤️
Congratulations on being able to finish is very well-researched project. The information was Prime.
just binged the whole series!! i have been looking for exactly this for the last couple of years and i am so grateful it was made! and made so well! nailed it!!
Hey everybody! Just wanted to let you all know that I am the other Elizabeth I that sometimes shows up in the comment section, I decided to go undercover for fun :) Great video, Lindsay! Sorry I was late 😅
