1/4 The Lost Portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie: A Culture Show Special 

Well, it's very nice music.

@Phamie Gow ... delighted to read your comment here! I'm always looking up IMDb to discover the composers & performers of the music used in the movies, TV mini-series & documentaries I watch. I'm off to google you now. Cheers!

@@thegreaterbilby2171 how lovely to know! Thanks for your interest. Most of my albums are on all social media platforms. And now recording my 10th album. Enjoy!

In the settings, you can have this show you French subtitles! :)

Get a grip.

+DrawWith Light ...Gladly done !

Course you are. He was a Stuart anyway, not a Stewart.

@@monkeytennis8861 Yes, I know. My ancestors PROTECTED HIM. Had zero tolerance for a peasant like you.

Appalled, are you? Get some perspective.

@Gibbers King I agree, that would be a very interesting episode!

"Dr. G" 🤮🤮

I was wondering if those were leather pants in the beginning...

@@wryckingbaul8612 No that it's my business: but I believe Bendor is marriage material, totally.

Damn! at 00:58 - clearly he is wearing a wedding ring. Whomever they are, they're lucky. :)

@@ivorytower99 You just noticed? He's been wearing it for years. Just check old episodes of "Fake or Fortune" and see that he was wearing it then.

@@wryckingbaul8612 My eyes were not on his hand, when watching Fake or Fortune?.

Ole Engell Andersen probably the one currently in Inverness Museum

Yes, the portrait of his younger brother Henry Benedict Stuart...it was mistaken for a portrait of his elder brother Charles. Henry was in fact the last male legitimate representative of Stuart royal line. He was a Cardinal in the Catholic Church and a Bishop of Ostia in Italy.

same, i just yelled at the tv. i know it but have NO idea what it is!

ENAUDI most probably. I noticed other piano pieces by him on this programme.

@@kcsunshine4008 No I am afraid I have to disappoint you all, and inform you that it was my composition entitled 'War Song' taken from my 'Moments of Time' album. Best wishes. Phamie Gow

@@aalexander6283 it was my 'War Song' from my piano solo cd Moments of Time. Phamie Gow

Yes! I know. It was my composition entitled 'War Song' taken from my piano solo album 'Moments of Time'. Happy you sort of recognised it. Best wishes. Phamie

Let's share info on lineage.

Britain never had a monarch called James III

@Jim Hope Utter nonsense. The parliaments of England and Scotland made a fundamental constitutional change in 1689 and it was parliament which decided the line of succession. James Stewart had no legitimate claim to Britain's throne.

Mary was born in 1661, 12 years after Charles I was executed, you clown. She was the daughter James II, a Stuart. Later, her sister, Anne ruled and she was a Stuart. So, the Stuarts weren't expelled in 1688, or in 1988 as you've written.

Mary was James II daughter, Charles II nice. 🙄

There is!

Your right, quite spooky.

The Stuarts were the rightful rulers of both Scotland and England. It was truly all or nothing.

He didn't deserted them. That is one of the many propaganda lies of him that have been believed. He was taken off the battlefield at Culloden by a group of his soldiers who thought that there that the battle was already loss. He wanted to charge when they grabbed him.

2. Jacobites weren't surprised that Charles would invade England it was common knowledge that, yes, the Union would be abolished, but it would be like before the act of union, where England and Scotland each were separete Kingdoms, but had the same Monarch. Scotland was unable to sustain itselft economically without England. The intention to go to England was know since the start of the rebellion.

@@lucario2188 and he replied ‘do what you wish, but for god’s sake let us go’. He took with him the last of the Jacobite funds off the battlefield and his men behind. His advisers also told him to remain in Scotland, lie low and resume hit and run attacks. He instead left for France. As his officer Lord Elcho summarised ‘There you go for a damned cowardly Italian!’

@@monarchist1838 Another bunch lies, Elcho never said that about him. Although it is true that Elcho later in live grew to dislike the Prince and had a fight with him about a debt, he never said that about him. It was a lie invented by the Pro hanoverian article written by Sir Walter Scott in the Quarterly Review. Scott’s account was comprehensively rebutted by A. C. Ewald in 1875, who noted that it was not in Elcho’s own Journal and was inconsistent with other accounts.

He was recognized has King by the other monarchies of Europe.

@@lucario2188 What has that to do with the reality ? I suppose you'd argue that Bonnie Prince Charlie was also "King" if the other monarchies of Europe said so.

@@Baskerville22 Well because of that he is often referred has King by some historians. Kinda like how the USA recognized Juan Guaido has President of Venezuela and he will probably be referred as president by some historians despite not ever having de facto power. Unlike James, Charles wasn't recognized by other monarchies when James died.

@@lucario2188 US Presidents are referred to as "President" even after their period in office has ended. BTW -- You are using "has" when you need to use "as".

@@Baskerville22 Thanks, English isn't my first language.

it is a pastel drawing . You can only expose it to light for short periods or the colors will fade

No it wasn’t. It would be more like your 6th or 7th great grandfathers cousin

That is the English spoken in the whole British upper class.

You must be getting up there in age, if that's the generational difference. I'm a 17th great-granddaughter of James II, a 16th great-granddaughter of his daughter Mary's (James III's sister, which would make you and myself sixth cousins 10 times removed, I believe). I sometimes see a 5 generation difference in relatives alive today (my great-great-grandmother was alive when I was born, making a total of 5 simultaneous generations alive in the 20th century), but a 10+ generation discrepancy in contemporary descendants of the same people? I'm quite surprised. I do find it charming that everyone with a drop of Scottish blood is commenting about their descent from various Scottish clans, even kings. Because of the smallish population, especially in the noble class, we're all related the moment we find an ancestor significant enough to be entered into the genealogies of our ancestors.

there's 3 more parts....

Because it's the same sitter as on the portrait of Cardinal Henry Benedict Stuart by Mengs.
