I have watched all the stories on the descendants of the father in law of Europe at least 4 times for each video, from March 2020. The history that you learn even helps put things into perspective today. I love this series
@@melianna999 Yes. I live in Denmark and have only noted one name of the 8 kids of the two princes: the next in line Christian after his father Frederik. It is like in the UK: all the spares are not of importance to most people.
I have been looking for this FOR YEARS in English. They ran all the episodes on Australian public TV about 10-15 years ago, after Mary married Fred. This is the best Royal history documentary I've ever seen on TV. Just brilliant. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed and appreciate the musical selection. It was outstanding. I know 😔I'm a nerd!😊 Especially coming from where I come from 🤗
Thank you very much for this great documentary. What I love the most about it is that it comes across as practicaly impartial. Not trying to glorify one monarch and disgrace other. Just presenting events as they were happening not trying to influence the viewer's opinion as much as in other documentaries I've seen - in particular documents about life of Queen Victoria. So thank you for that 💙
@sodapop When I wrote the comment i was shielding and not allowed outside my flat as I am at high risk of death if I contract coronavirus but I’m glad it made you happy to make your comment 🤷♀️
I’m not sure why your videos were recommended to me by TH-cam but I have enjoyed them very much and am infact watching them a second time through - thank you for posting them
This is a great pleasure to watch this series of documentaries. I am in the process of moving, and I can barely pull myself away to get any work done. It is an easy and wonderful way to learn. Thank you for this opportunity. I love it!!! ❤️🌹❤️
Such a wonderful documentary to watch! It would have been even better with english subtitle added. Not just the muted gaps for easy follow through, the subtitle will be greatly appreciated for the hearing impaired audiences. They sure not want to miss this great piece and enjoy learning European history. I do expect myself to watch at least twice of all episodes and acquire a better understanding of relations and characters.
To me, the biggest challenge watching these documents (or studying European history) is to figure out who's who, there seemed to be only a handful of names available for dozens of kings and queens, princes and princesses. Grandfathers and grandsons named the same, so was the case of grandmothers and granddaughters. And, they're ALL related by either blood or marriage.
Oh my goodness, yes!! All the Christians, and Fredericks, and Edwards and Louise's!!! I've got like 5 different wikipedia pages open cuz I'm trying to keep up with everyone cuz I get everyone mixed up.
tell us about it imagine being educated on this subject in school, so many kings with the same names , and their children married all over the world and still had english names ...lol go figure
I wish this had been aired in the US, I as an admirer of all things European royalty, I would've enjoyed immensely. I have watched this documentary numerous times and have enjoyed watching it
I want to thank you so very much for putting together such a lovely documentary especially in English. I truly have enjoyed this so very much. Thank you so very much again. God Bless you.
I have enjoyed this series so much! Thank you! I take away so much from these but what stays with me the most is the fate of Russia under Czar Alexander once he crumbles up the new constitution his father and uncle were wanting to put in place. He sealed the fate of the people and I would go further and say sealed the fate of his own son. Czar Nicholas and his whole family who were executed! I agree with the Constantine the big "if" of history!
Me too! I remember having watched all the episodes in Denmark when they were aired on Danish TV! Then I've been looking for them on the internet for years! Tusind tak!!!
Scandinavian Royalty- Thank you! This is truly informative, well-researched and entertaining video.I look forward to the next episodes. But I'd like to know if the sound issues have been addressed. I've tried with subtitles but there aren't any for the scenes with no sound. Thanks once again.
She is intelligent, kind, multilingual, and gets involved in culture - painting, translating books into Danish and even sewing costumes for the National Theatre. She is a wonderful woman.
Hey there is our Romanian king, Regele Mihai, he past away about 3 years ago. He was forced to abdicate by the communists who practically ran him out of Romania. The royals of Romania have come back to Romania and taken residence at their castle, Castelul Peles, which my husband, daughter and niece visited a couple years ago. They come back sometimes and certain rooms are closed to the public. Mihai was a good king and a Christian one too.
Thank you for this interesting series. I know a lot about British royals, but nothing of the Scandinavian, except when they married into British. But Victoria did have siblings. And her sister was there with her. However, she was a bit older and left to get married when Victoria was a child. Her brother stayed in Germany. She also had other children to play with. Victoria was extremely hyperbolic her whole life. And extremely self pitying. However, she WAS extremely overprotected.
It's a shame that the sound cuts out in a couple of places, but on the whole this is an excellent video. One other comment, the narrator refers to one of Christian IX's daughters as "Dalmar" but I always thought her name was Dagmar who was the Tsarista of Russia.
From min 11:34 I can 't hear anything, at min 12:46 the sound is back :) At min 45:30 the sound is stop again and come back at min 46:06 :) , at min 47:08 the sound is gone again and min 47:30 is back :) I enjoy it watching :) I hope part 2 have sound :D
It isn't true that Victoria became queen because her parents were the first of the brothers to have a child after all the German weddings. She became queen because the two daughters of her uncle William IV died young and she was the next in line.
Fascinating stuff and incredible to have (former and current) Crowned heads of Europe talking about...Crowned heads of Europe! And with such candor. Unprecedented and fawning, as you'd expect. I love how Prince Michael of Greece makes the word deceased sound like 'diseased'. Imagine the planning - and sign-off - it took to get this produced?
Yes, Karl and Feodora. From what I remember, her half-sister lived with them until she was married and Victoria wept terribly when she left. Her half-brother was the Prince of Leiningen and mostly stayed in Germany and occasionally visited.
Question: why the the narration disappear around minute 11:00? And again around 45:00 then again at 47:00, mid-sentence of the narration of a charming anecdote by the Greek Prince Michael (a delightfully wonderful character on his own)! Are the music rights are so problematic?
Yes they are! I have to delete the songs, but unfortunately with the songs the narrations are also deleted and I don't want the videos to be deleted for copyright infrightment so that's all I can do :(
Scandinavian Royalty Would it be possible to perhaps add the missing narration to the info box or comments? I've never seen this program before and am enjoying it immensely. Thank you for uploading it!
So pleased to see this; really enjoyed it when it was shown on tv in Britain and wanted to buy the dvd of the series but was unable to do so. Thanks for the upload.
I read she did it that very night. And I don't blame her. But, I also read that her mother did it to protect her, to never let her really be alone, as they were afraid of assassination.
Yes, after Victorias mother died she found little pink notes from her mother they'd say things of how much she loved Victoria and sweet words towards her. Victoria was devastated as she realised that her mother did love her and regretted how she had treated her mother.
Even before getting into this video, thanks so much for uploading. I how just finished a different history series and was scrolling though, trying to find my next one. This obviously hit a bit interest block for me.
King Leopold , uncle to Victoria (her mother's brother and Albert's father too) was, before to became King of Belgium,, married to princesse Charlotte of Great Britain who died in childbirth. Charlotte was heir to the throne of England. Sorry for my bad english.
victoria very definitely had siblings--princess feodora was her half sister and prince carl was her half brother--her mother had been a widow with 2 children when she married victoria's father the duke of kent
Important information is not heard during this documentary during the information starting in 1826 about young King Christian. If the audio can not be restored perhaps you can add subtitles to the Part 1 Documentary, otherwise much information is missed by those interested in watching this. Thank you for listening.
Does anyone know how I can watch this docu series elsewhere without the disruption? I really enjoy it but I don't want the gaps... I understand about copyright
Just as you think there's no way this guy can come up with a comeback while being introduced to several European royals, bam... he comes back with Jebus Christ, the King of Kings, how you like 'em apples????
I realize that this was only a joke. However, to use Christ’s name like that is not to be taken lightly... Love this video, but certainly did NOT think that was funny at all. 😧😕😔
@@myassizitchy I guess you were there at that time to bark such an affirmation!? How about believing what you may want BUT let the rest of the world be more educated than you are and believe what THEY WANT!
Queen Victoria looks at a picture of the attractive Princess Alexandra, future wife of her son. 30:25 “And even though she thinks that the princess’ brow is a little low and that her nose is a little to long, she is clearly a better choice than all the other candidates.” LOL
The Queen of Denmark has a surprisingly English accent. I’m assuming she was taught English elocution when she was younger bc no one speaking Danish as their first language would sound like that.
Her mother made sure she and her sisters was taught English, French and German almost as well as Danish very early by hiring a nanny from each country. At least that's what the Queen said in another documentary.
The Queen of Denmarks' mother spoke excellent English as her mother was a princess of Great Britain. The queen of Denmarks mother was Swedish princess Ingrid, who had a British mother, Margaret of Connaught, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
Some of the facts are modified here. Victoria had the choice presented to her by her uncle of marrying either Albert or his older brother. Fortunately, she chose Albert.
Granted her choice of husband was limited given that man would soon be prince consort, it wasn't limited to two. There was the Russian tsarevitch, the Prince of Orange and the future Duke of Cambridge and King of Hanover. But she only ever had eyes for Prince Albert.
@@reneedaughter Isabella and Ferdinand. Mary and Philip. It happened occasionally and it was sometimes a way for a female ruled to hedge herself on her throne.
I've recently read and reviewed two books recently about this time period. One was called "From Splendor to Revolution," which was a very good biography about 4 Romanov women and the second one was a novel called Victoria. That one was...Well lets say there was a lot of disappointment which I share in the video. :-).
Found this on the internet "Princess Luise of Prussia died on March 23, 2009 at Schloss Bückeburg. She was 91years old. The Princess was born at Haus Glienicke in Berlin as the only daughter of Prince Friedrich Sigismund of Prussia and his wife, Princess Marie Louise of Schaumburg-Lippe. She was named for her grandmother, Princess Louise of Denmark, who was the daughter of Frederik VIII."
Wonderful so interesting and watchable but ONCE AGAIN very poor quality, especially the sound, not all the time but at very irritating intervals, find that with all the Royal videos, cant understand that, even if I use a different PC, phone, desk top, lap top WHY???
I had sound issues, but was able to ff a bit, and sound came back.. I love this series, .. to hear the sufferings of the ppl,... we are part founding fathers of 🇨🇦. My family is from Germany, because the 7 families were basically enticed by land in USA, however once in USA , they found they were duped. They then joined 6 other families who signed a contract with Benjamin Franklin and friends, they sailed up to Canada, only to abandoned these families... they barely survived with the help of 1 stranger, who taught the 7 families how to survive in our climate.. A year later, the ship comes for its bounty which included Hemp, shocked to see my g8 grandfather alive and well..

This is the first time I hear the Royals really talk from the heart...animated and with humour. It makes them so much more relatable
I love the opening story of the family meeting a man who was lost in a park in Copenhagen. Well told by the former King of Greece!
And soundtrack is flawless. Beethoven, Chopin, Tchaikovsky....perfectly chosen.
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed and appreciate the musical selection. It was outstanding. I know 😔I'm a nerd!😊 Especially coming from where I come from 🤗
Can you guys tell me the title of the music used in the introduction? I've been searching for it but don't have any chance finding it...Thanks

I like to listen story from prince Michael of Greece, he has a special gift to be a story teller.

Some of the facts are modified here. Victoria had the choice presented to her by her uncle of marrying either Albert or his older brother. Fortunately, she chose Albert.
Her cousin George of Cambridge was also an option.
She also had older half siblings from her Mom's first marriage...

After the assignation of Zar Alexander IIX we loose the sound for some time again and again for later on when speaking of the reunion near the end.
I had sound issues, but was able to ff a bit, and sound came back.. I love this series, .. to hear the sufferings of the ppl,... we are part founding fathers of 🇨🇦. My family is from Germany, because the 7 families were basically enticed by land in USA, however once in USA , they found they were duped. They then joined 6 other families who signed a contract with Benjamin Franklin and friends, they sailed up to Canada, only to abandoned these families... they barely survived with the help of 1 stranger, who taught the 7 families how to survive in our climate.. A year later, the ship comes for its bounty which included Hemp, shocked to see my g8 grandfather alive and well..
The sound keeps cutting in and out Crap really
