I've also read that if you didn't give Queen Mary the item when she was at the home, that she would write how much she admired the item(s) in the thank you notes she'd send to her hosts
Love Lindsay's videos. I also watch Dr. Kat.
If you want to look into a family thats become ridiculously big Spanish Trader Maneul Jose spent his time in NZ during the mid 1800s wifing up multiple daughters of Māori tribe Ngati Porou (my mums tribe) and now all over NZ there are 1000s of descendants in the NZ population with peopel descending from one of his many wives

Hey Chris, I just realised that you haven't watched Epic History TV's series on the Decembrists revolution in Russia (It seems you haven't, anyway). Definitely recommend watching it, it's very interesting to see Russian officers try to implement an American system in Russia. Greetings from Denmark!
16:28 Paul 's wife, Frederica,was granddaughter of kaiser Wilhelm, through his daughter
Wilhelm II is actually not buried in a tomb, his coffin rests on a plinth in the private chapel at huis Doorn (the manor he bought for his own use in the Netherlands in exile) and, as per his own instructions and will only be buried, in Germany, when the monarchy has been restored there.
20:02 also Alexander iii , father of Nicolas ii of Russia, did the same merid his desist brother fiancée
One of her grandchildren sounds like Voldermort
hey man i dont know if u read the comments but please can u make a video of NADER shah
Allies are all for self determination unless you decide against them is a relatively true statement. In the case of Greece, it was self determination they were supporting. Constantine was known for regularly ignoring public sentiment.
He was notorious for heavily involving himself in politics, despite being the head of a constitutional monarchy. His decision to keep Greece out of the war was due to personal connections, and most greeks at the time considered it illegal, since Greece had signed a mutual defence treaty with Serbia.
He regularly batted heads with the greek Prime Minister, Eleftherios Venizelos. Venizelos won the 1916 election publicly promising Greece would join the war on the side of Serbia. When Constantine refused to sign the decision, Venizelos resigned and new elections were declared. He won again. The King ignored the outcome and refused to sign the decision again. Venizelos resigned a second time.
He then left Athens and went to Salonika, where he declared an open revolt against the king, and the birth of a new nation that would go to war against the Central Powers, and asked the Allies for support. It was only after the English and French blockaded and bombarded the port of Piraeus, thus starving Athens out, that Constantine agreed to abdicate in favour of Prince Alexander.
Amazing sir.
I am surprised you haven't already reacted to Lindsay's channel. There is so much good there, about royalty in general and British monarchy in particular.
She also have stories about the children of Victoria, but also generally Queens of the world, not to mention a multipart series about The First Ladies of America and the wives of the Fouding Fathers. And about the Queens of England, Holy Roman Emperors and much more 😀
Norway split with sweden in 1905, not denmark…
3:26 isn’t Edward VII on the right towards the back as well ?
The nerve damage is called Erb’s Palsy, I was 12 pounds 13 ounces when I was born, I have it as well, I cannot straighten my right arm, or lift it above my shoulder.
And once again Kaiser Wilhelm II is demonized.
As a German, I have the feeling that many people only know the two world wars, when it comes to German history.
He was a great leader who only wanted the best for Germany.
While Austria-Hungary, France, Russia, Serbia and especially the United Kingdom wanted war after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, it was Kaiser Wilhelm II who wanted to settle everything peacefully.
Omg! When worlds collide 🎉
19:00 in Italy Mafalda of Savoy the daughter of the king Victor Emmauel III was sent to the concentration camp of Buchenwald when the nazi taken Rome, she did there in 1944. But yes, many royals members in Europe were sent in the concentration camps.
4:33 I unironically considered Alexandrina as a name for my daughter for a hot second but, while beautiful, it just seemed like too much name to saddle her with.
Really like Lindsay. In the first Downton Abbey movie the king and queen stay and they make it that the maid of Mary of Teck is the kleptomanaic and several things go missing and one of the Downton maids discovers it. Tellls her what if thanks to you people think Queen Mary is a kleptomanaic though in real life Mary was not her maid!
3:10 that's not George, it's Tzar Nicholas you pointed to and Tzarina Alex is next to him. George and Nicholas did look a lot alike though.
I thought Victoria the elder was the up market klepto
omg my fav history youtuber reacting my other favorite history youtuber, its like christmas
Albert refused to take the regnal name of Albert not because of it being German, but because Victoria blamed Bertie for the Prince Consort's death
The queen mother and george Washington where distant cousins,she was also related to king edward III
Thank you so much for highlighting my work, your kind words, and interesting additional commentary! I'd love to see what you have to add to some of my other videos!
Lindsay is a great creator and her videos really help me with my studies
I love your reactions to Lindsey's little side notes.
Frederick III. didn't became emperor after german unification though. Frederick's father Wilhelm I. ruled until 1888 and was then only briefly followed by Frederick (who died of throat cancer only a few months after); after that came Wilhelm II. Thus, 1888 is known as the "Year of the three Emperors".
If the British House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha had not changed their name to Windsor and the name died with Elizabeth, the House name should come from Prince Philip of Greek and Denmark's (Duke of Edinburgh) PATERNAL line. The Batteburg/Mountbatton House was his maternal line. King Charles is a direct male descendent of King Christian IX whose belonged to the House of Glucksburg a branch of the House of Oldenburg. So Charles, William, and George are Glucksburgs
Not only is Prince Philip a blood relative of Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna but he was also a blood relative of Tsar Nicholas II. Prince Philip’s father Andrew was the brother of King Constantine I of Greece and their father George I of Greece was the brother of Queen Alexandra and Maria Feodorovna (Dagmar of Denmark) so this meant that Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip shared both Queen Victoria and Christian IX of Denmark as Gt Grandparents 😮
Lindsay is VERY anti Victoria. And I've found numerous mistakes in some of her videos.
When i was a kid, the vaccine for diptheria was administered separtely and not part of DPT. It turns out i I am allergic to diptheria antitoxin, but luckily did not get the disease
Could you please do a video over Sulaiman and Hurrem!
The Royal House of England should be named the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. Prince Philip dropped the name of his father and used the name of his mother, which was anglicised to Mountbatten. The House of Windsor is now a cadet branch of the House of Oldenburg
These videos are great! Waiting for Pt.3
Finland ditching its German king wasn't just due to Germany losing WW1, though that was certainly part of it. Finland had just had a civil war between the political Left and the political Right, and the Right had won. In the aftermath, there was a power struggle within the winning side between a moderate conciliatory faction and a hardline faction. The hardline faction went for establishing a monarchy, and not just a figurehead monarchy but one with real power as a safeguard against the Left gaining power through winning parliamentary elections. By the time Germany lost the war, the moderate faction had gained the upper hand, in part because the undemocratic actions of the hardliners were hindering efforts to get international recognition for Finnish independence, which at the time was less than a year old and recognized by few. The combination of the shift towards political moderation along with a German monarch being geopolitically disadvantageous contributed together to burying Finnish monarchism for good.
6:09 the British monarch was called Kaiser-e-Hind or Emperor of India.
another connection to the european royal houses is that victoria's uncle coincidentally also alberts uncle is the first king of the belgians the royal house name is still saksen coburg en gotha
Arthur Zimmerman gets a lot of flak for sending the worse email of all time but he is also responsible for approving sending Lenin to Russia. So he had his ups and downs. Unfortunately, history has only remembered his telegram and not the role he played in knocking Russia out of the war.
History tea time!❤🎉
Once I told my grandmother that Queen Victoria had 42 grandkids and she found it terrifying as, in her words, she can barely keep her sanity having 4 🤭
Lindsay has amazing videos, I highly recommend her channel!
