THANK YOU JON SUPERB AS ALWAYS, A FITTING TRIBUTE TO PRINCESS ALICE, SHE DESERVES TO BE REMEMBERD A TRULY REMARKABLE LADY.
❤🤍💙
Jon, thank you once again. Have a good week.
(The Waldeck-Pyrmont women have an amazing resemblance to one another).
Thank you very much for telling us the history of so many women. Their voices would be lost but for you. Thank you.❤
Jon, thanks for such a beautiful tribute to Princess Alice! And, um…I don't mean to be nit-picky, but I am Canadian, and I can advise you that the name Rideau, of Rideau Hall (that Churchill loved) is pronounced Ree-doh and not Rye-doh. I hope that is not taken badly! Hard to know how to pronounce city or other names, if they are not part of your country or culture. 😽I always struggled with pronunciation of British towns and names – often got it wrong! So I totally get it! 😁Thanks again for such a dignified, and informative, video! You're the best!
Read her book she’s a racist with a nazi brother.
It is nice to hear your YouTube channel I broke my foot and am laid up. I look forward to hearing your stories of the past. She is so beautiful looking and I am sure she heart to match
I watched an interview she did in the 1970s. Really sprite and interesting to listen to.
Brilliant 👏
I adore seeing the President and First Lady Roosevelts..Mrs Roosevelt is one of my favorite woman..I believe Princess Alice will be added to my list
A vital yet unseen royal.
Such beautiful tribute with breathtaking visuals and wonderful historical insight. Loved to know much more about this remarkable lady. Thank you so much, Jon ❤
Another great choice; keep them coming.
What a beautiful video. This lady led such an interesting life. I would love to be privy to a dairy. So much dedication. Thank you Jon.
Being Vice-Reine must have been exciting in comparison to most royals, thank you, a good long life.
🙏🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
I think we tend to get tied up with the “major players” in history and overlook so many (from all walks of life) who contributed to the way history has actually played out. And this lady is no exception. Thank you for drawing such a vivid picture of Princess Alice and her accomplishments, which can only be touched on in a, necessarily, short video. Please continue to bring more historic characters to our attention so that they are not overlooked or forgotten and we are able to appreciate their contribution to the historic narrative.
