7 Princesses Royal of the UK 

So is no one gonna talk about how the first three were Mary, Anne, and Charlotte, and now the previous was Mary, the current is Anne, and the future (likely) is Charlotte?

I met Princess Anne once. The museum in my local town had had a massive refurbishment and the Spitfire Exhibit was like the main focus. Princess Anne came to reopen the museum and the Spitfire Exhibit. One high school (ages 11 to 16) and one primary school (ages 5 to 11) got to be there at the re-opening and my primary school was the one invited. 2 students from each school got to go up and shake Princess Anne's hand and I was one of the students chosen for my school so I got to meet her and say hello and shake her hand. My mind was blown when that happened. I was like 8 at the time. I remember Princess Anne had a really warm energy about her and the outfit she was wearing matched my school's colour.

My mom met Princess Anne when she was in the military back in the 80's. Said she damn near sh!t herself when HRH looked her in the eye, as apparently she's quite intimidating in person, absolutely radiated majesty and authority. We both agree it's a pity she's not gonna be queen next!

Princess Anne is a very influential Royal. She had her father's traits and her mother's looks. She participated in the 1976 Olympic Games and succeeded. Thanks Lindsay :)

I like how the first 4 Princesses to have this title, had the names: Mary, Anne, Charlotte and Victoria. This is funny because the former's name was also Mary; the current's name is Anne; the next most likely to have it is Princess Charlotte of Cambridge. It would be so incredibly reassuring if Prince George of Cambridge names his daughter Victoria one day, followed by another Louise to top it all in the next 100 years haha.

"The son that Prince Philip wanted" Lol, poor Charles. Princess Anne is quite an impressive woman. To be able to balance all those public appearances for a year, that would have taken a toll on her health. May she live a long life like her mother, the late Queen.

I was invited to an event that princess Anne also attended. I was given instructions on what to say and act in case we spoke. However we never did. When she walked past me, she looked me in the eyes, slightly smiled and a quick nod in my direction. She had a wonderful presence about her. Very confident yet not overbearing.

My Mum was a mad keen supporter of the Royal Family. She always said that Princess Anne would have made a fantastic Monarch but she was shelved by 3 worthless brothers.

“Not bloody likely” What an icon 😂

I love Princess Anne! She is beautiful, intelligent and comports herself so well. She would have made an excellent queen. I love how she never gave a damn about the press. They roasted her for it, but damn, the woman has a strong backbone!

Princess Anne is so classy and dignified, and she doesn't take any crap! It's a shame she'll never be Queen -- I bet she would have been a great Anne II.

On another video I learned that after having 15 children almost back to back, that Queen Charlotte’s reason for keeping her daughters close was not surprising. She didn’t want her daughters to live the life she had as a baby maker! There was a great quote from Queen Charlotte about how much she loathed pregnancy.

It's funny that I've never had any interest in the royalty of Britain. But since I first watched Tea Time with Lindsay I have been fascinated and continued to follow the series. Lindsay you do a good job making something completely uninteresting to me, amazing

The final picture that is shown in the section about Princess Louise the daughter of Edward Vll, is in fact that of her aunt, another Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll: the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria. She was a very talented artist who sculpted the wonderful statue of her mother in front of Kensington Palace.

YAAAY MY IDEA BECAME A VIDEO IM SO PROUD ILL WATCH THIS VIDEO A MILLION TIMES TIL THE END OF TIMES

I think that the life of Victoria, Princess Royal was probably most incredible - I can't believe a major Hollywood production hasn't been based on her! No other female of royal blood in the history Christendom lived to have amounted all these titles: - The Princess Royal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, as the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria - Crown Princess of both the Imperial and Royal Crowns of the German Empire and Kingdom of Prussia, respectively. - The Kaiserin - The German Empress, The Queen of Prussia. - Queen Mother of the Royal Crown of Prussia, as the mother of Kaiser Wilhelm II (although she did not choose to use this title) - Dowager Empress of the Imperial Crown of the German Empire, as the relict of Kaiser Friedrich III She also had all these styles during her lifetime: - Her Royal Highness - Her Imperial & Royal Highness - Her Imperial & Royal Majesty - Her Imperial Majesty

TBH,I truly feel the current Princess Royal is the pick of the bunch!Anne has done(& continues to do) more for charity than ANY of them.I've met her twice,once when I was a volunteer for Riding for the Disabled(which she is worldwide patron & generous supporter of) and again when I was working with Doctors Without Borders in her role as(again) worldwide patron of.She always took time out of her hectic schedule to talk to both the workers and the patients/clients no matter what the communication difficulties were,be it a matter of language or communication with some of our more 'disabled'(ie non-verbal) kids at RDA.Kind and compassionate lady who has my complete respect.Long may she live and may every blessing be hers.

I can’t get over how much the current royals, both the Queen and Anne, look so much like their immediate predecessors. It’s amazing. Anne is a beautiful woman, I’m so glad to see her getting the acknowledgment she’s been so long due❤️

Our Princess Anne is amazing, meet her twice personal and public. We are blessed. I can’t wait to see how the younger royals progress

I'm not British so I don't know much about the Royal family but I'm learning with these videos. I was a bit shocked at the part in this video that said that a gunman shot at Princess Anne's car and wanted to kidnap her. Not too surprised about her response though. LOL Some women you just don't mess with. She was not having any of that. Tough cookie that's for sure. 😎👍

I would like to see in some alternate universe Anne becoming a queen insted of charles... Honestly she is the best royal among her siblings...

Princess Vicky is my fave among Queen Victoria's children. What happened between her and her son Wilhelm was so sad and there was no easy fix to the situation. Fascinating to study though.

Princess Anne seems very people friendly & down to earth

I'm a young history lover and can't afford to be a patron, but would love if you could consider doing a video about Princess Sophia Duleep Singh, as I have been reading about her recently.

It is interesting that we have seen a cycle with their names. The first and sixth was Mary, the second and seventh are Anne, and the third and probably eighth will be a Charlotte. All we need is a Victoria and Louise.

When Princess Anne competed in the Olympics she was the only woman competitor who wasn't required to take a genetic test to prove that she was actually a woman (the tests are no longer used).

I loved this theme! Obviously not every offspring of a monarch can be covered, but this was very cool.

Do a whole video on Princess Charlotte of Wales, please! That girl is so underappreciated.

Frederick of Wurttemberg actually had a few skeletons in the closet when he married Charlotte Princess Royal - he had previously married Augusta of Brunswick (the elder sister of the infamous Caroline who later married George Prince of Wales) but their union was deeply unhappy. The ill-matched couple went to Russia where Frederick served in the army and they had three children together. Six years later Frederick returned to Germany with the children but not Augusta. Exactly what happened is unclear with suggestions of Augusta having affairs or simply wishing to stay at the behest of Catherine the Great, who she had befriended. However, at some point Augusta fell out with Catherine and was sent to live at the remote castle of Lhode. There she mysteriously died - some contemporaries hinted at the time that her estranged husband had something to do with it but others suggest she had another affair and died in childbirth.

I really enjoyed this video. Princess Anne is the Hardest Working Royal without a doubt and has never looked for praise for all that she does. She is my Hero of the BRF. She would make a great Queen even though that would probably never happen.

Thank you so much for uploading these videos, Lindsay! I learn so much!

This video was awesome! You should also make a video/series similar to this about the Prince’s of Wales.

Princess Mary and Lord Lascelles depicted in the Downton Abbey movie!!

i think this is my favorite video of yours so far! i like pronouncing the royal as "roi-aal" to make it sound fancier hahaha princess "roi-aal" sounds like a drink you'd get at a very fancy bar lol or a princess spy name.

What a great video! It was fun learning about the earlier princess royals I didn't know had the title. I knew the ones from Victoria's daughter and on.

Thank you for uploading this video Lindsay

my late mother was very interested in the royal family even though we are American. i love to watch your content to learn more about the royal family and their history

Update on Princess Mary, daughter of George V: Though it's long been thought that Mary did not attend the wedding of Princess Elizabeth (later Elizabeth II) and Prince Philip because she was offended that her brother the Duke of Windsor was not invited, Elizabeth Basford's recent biography of Mary gives a different reason on page 236. "A further rumour that has escalated and become something of a misconception is that Mary refused to attend the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten on 20 November 1947 because of her annoyance at the Duke of Windsor not receiving an invitation. This belief finds its roots in Ronald Storrs’s diary, when he mentions going to visit Sir Henry McMahon, a former diplomat, and his wife. ‘They knew all about Princess Mary’s absence from the wedding in anger at the Duke of Windsor not having been invited.’ However, within the same diary entry, Storrs recalls having to leave the couple after only half an hour, finding them rather tiresome, suggesting a discourse of gossip rather than fact. "In November 1947, just prior to the wedding, Mary explained the real reason for her non-attendance at the wedding to her close friend Dame Mary Tyrwhitt. The letter is marked ‘PRIVATE’ in large capitals. ‘I would like you to know that after all I shall not be coming to London. I felt that the wedding festivities might prove too great a strain. I am very disappointed to miss the wedding. November 17 or 18 the Press must announce I have a chill or something of the sort.’ (The British Army Museum, 9303-1-9, 12 November 1947.) Harry’s death undoubtedly had caused her such great anxiety and upset that she feared she was on the brink of a further nervous breakdown similar to that in the 1930s." Mary's husband had died in late May 1947 and it was reported that as late as 5 November that Mary was still wearing full mourning. Apparently she did not feel able to participate in such a happy family occasion, though one filled with stresses and awkward situations including the former king and his wife not being invited as well as most of Philip's family, who had close associations with the Nazi's.

i loved the images you used in this one it really came together nicely for those watching who didn't know as much for context. i did but for those who i feel like you did them a great service with the visual aides you so aptly chose. another great video.

I remember Anne's Australia visit. She was a big hit, tv cameras followed her everywhere. So she was popular there!

19:33 Minor correction: Alastair was Louise’s stillborn son 26:57 also, his name is Timothy Laurence, not Thomas Laurence (but you got it right the next time you said it 🙂)

Princess Anne gets annoyed by the smell of paint because everywhere she visits does a new paint job the day before

The Queen looked so much like her Aunt Mary Princess Royal, in later years. I think Princess Ann the Princess Royal, is an amazing person.

Just found your channel! Loving your videos. Getting my history fix - anything to not watch the news! Thank you for your work.

very nice. looking forward to Charlotte, Princess Royal. I have great respect for Princess Anne, the present Princess Royal. very hard working.

I'm impressed with the last two. Charity, humanitarianism, athletics. I used to watch "The Crown", Princess Anne doesn't show up much. Her choice? Positive female role models make boring TV.

Lol I listen to these while I draw pictures of these royals. So charming and well structured videos full of information :)

Another really interesting video! Thank you!

You do such a good job with this! Thanks!

Hey Lindsay, a fan from Trinidad and Tobago here👋. Tobago is pronounced tuh+bay+goh, it's always mispronounced for some reason😅. Great video as always though!♥️

Something else interesting. No Queen regnant has ever been a Princess Royal first. Mary I was older than the title, Elizabeth I was older than the title and a second daughter, Mary II didn’t get it as she already had a higher title, Anne was a second daughter, Victoria wasn’t the daughter of a King, and Elizabeth II’s aunt was still alive.

And I feel the need to tell you that you are great I’ve seen every single one of your videos!

Iconic

I was surprised to see you advertise the Fabulous app. I absolutely love it and have the premium subscription.

I just love these historical videos

❤️ I've been waiting this!!! ❤️

19:32 Louise had TWO daughters, Alexandra and Maud. Her firstborn child, Alastair, was a son.

Lindsay I love watching your videos, I get soo happy🙂 when I see your name pop up in my notifications, I can't wait for your next video ❤

Thank you so much this was such a good video I really learned a lot 💜

Love it ☺️ thank you 👏🙏👍

As always wonderful!

I never realized how awesome the current princess Ann is.

Love your channel!

Very informative. Thanks for sharing

Great video 👍🏽

Oh my- the part with King Charles’s death and Oliver Cromwell,we just learned it a few days ago in history(in from romania) and its interesting to see this in this video

For those who may not know know “dropsy” is an old term for fluid retention secondary to heart disease.

You make my day thank you so much

"the ripe old age of 25" killed me

It would be interesting to see Lindsey do a video on the Madame Royals, or just specifically the last Madame Royal, Maria Antoinette’s daughter. I think it would be fun to look at those woman of history that no one talks about

I love your channel, I just have a hard time following videos where there are too many ppl per one story. Do you think you could sometimes make some videos where you closer describe the life of just one or two ppl per video? There were some I watched and I really liked those ☺️

The plural of Princess Royal is Princesses Royal, not "Princess Royals". It follows the French form that gave us Attorneys general (not Attorney generals), Governors general (not "Governor generals"), mothers-in-law (not mother-in-laws), etc.

Excellent video about women most people have never heard of, but were interesting and influenced in their own right.

Lovely content and well done!

Great video! You should cover a history of theatre, sometime.

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS❤❤❤❤❤

Such powerful women and such an interesting link to France!

a fascinating video! i love this content. can i recommend a future topic? i’ve been reading up on the romanovs recently and haven’t been able to find out a lot about Alexander II’s children. i think they went on to have fascinating, some even tragic lives and i think it would be a good topic for a video!

A really interesting video.

Ms. Lindsay Holiday this video is fantastic, I was hoping you could discuss soon the Daughters of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands 🇳🇱, I would love to see that and I must say I watched your videos couz its very detailed for me to understand history of royals

Princess Mary has little bit of same look with Mrs. Zara Tindal and Lady Louise.

Slight detail, at 20:22 the photo is of Louise, Duchess of Argyll (1848-1939), who was a daughter of Queen Victoria! Otherwise an incredibly detailed video!

I appreciate the way you do your commercials

OMGG LINDSLAY HOLIDAY

Louise was not Duchess in her own right. A second Dukedom of Fife was created for Alexander with special remainder to the two daughters, the eldest of which became Duchess in her own right following Alexanders death. The dukedom eventually came to the second daughter's descendants.

Brilliant!

11:10 Took me a moment to realize that it went into ad-mode 🤣

Love Princess Anne. Just a classy amazing woman. She was always hard working, she deserves the title.

Part 2 please

I just got done watching the episode of the crown where princess Alice , Philip the duke of Edenborough's mother, is there a way you can make a video about her life? that would be awesome if you did :) thank you for the video

Thank You Lindsay!💜✨

The years roll by watching this.

Can you do Scottish royal family

Cool awesome history

Yay! I was looking forward to this one. Only seven Princess Royals (or is the correct plural Princesses Royal?) so far but they’re all interesting women who are worth learning about.

I bought a little box at a house sale, i could've believe it when i saw the princess gift fund box! I keep my earrings in it! Worth $15 !🥰🥰🥰

"hydrated" .... I couldn't help but giggle.

Very interesting

Haven't watched the channel in a while, but the topic is of interest. Good topic bad advert.

I believe the plural would be "Princesses Royal".
