King Christian IX of Denmark is known as the fathe rin law of Europe. His 6 children inherited, married into or were appointed to monarchies all over the continent. Between them they gave Christian and his Queen Louise 39 grandchildren and many more decedents who would occupied 9 different European thrones - Denmark of course, but also Norway, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Greece, Spain, Russia, Romania, and Luxembourg. They spanned 128 years of history Prince Albert Victor being born in 1864 and Princess Margaret of Bourbon-Parma living to see 1992. Among them, they fought on both sides of two world wars, won and lost various thrones, married their cousins and had many lurid affairs.
Here are the stories of the children of Christian IX’s three Daughters.
Alexandra, Queen of the United Kingdom
Dagmar, Maria Feodorovna, Empress of Russia
Thyra, Crown Princess of Hanover and Duchess of Cumberland

It’s crazy how him and Queen Victoria basically have the same family tree

@makjusufbegovic8186 4 года назад

At one point, Christian IX had a crush on Victoria but she was more interested in Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. It took him some time to get over her, but at least they were the grandparents of George V of the UK.

@christinaj.jensen4805 4 года назад

You should make more videos on Danish royals. Such fascinating history they have: Christian the X who unpopularly overthrew the government in 1920, but was a figure of hope during WW2. Christian the VII, who was mentally unstable, and his wife Queen Caroline Mathilde, who had a well known affair, that caused the change of the monarchy up to the time before democracy. Christian the IV, without whom the Danish capitol of Copenhagen would not look like it does today. Frederik the III, who instated absolute monarchy and went to war against Sweden. Queen Louise, Christian the IXs wife, who actually had a bigger claim to the Danish throne than her husband. Queen Ingrid, the Consort of King Frederik the IX and the mother of the current Queen of Denmark. And far far more.

@kaloarepo288 4 года назад

There is a fairly recent feature movie about the Danish queen who had an affair with a German aristocrat -I think his name was von Struensee.

@christinaj.jensen4805 4 года назад

Kalo Arepo His name was Johann Friedrich Struense and the movie is called “En Kongelig Affære” (“A royal affair” in English). I know this movie very well. I’m Danish myself, after all ;)

@christinaj.jensen4805 4 года назад

And he wasn’t an aristocrat. He was the King’s Doctor and from poor conditions. As Well as Enlightened.

@kaloarepo288 4 года назад

@@christinaj.jensen4805 I watched the movie about a year ago and have forgotten some of the details but the queen in question was the daughter of the English king if I remember correctly and she was quite liberal whereas the Danish monarchy was very conservative and ancien regime at the time.Struensee was a great reformer but lost his life because of the affair.I'm Australian and of course so is your crown princess Mary.There has been a mini series on TV about how Mary and Christian met at the Sydney Olympics.

@christinaj.jensen4805 4 года назад

Kalo Arepo yes, she was liberal and the Danish system ancient and backwards (at the time). It took her and Christian the VIIs son, the later Frederik the VI, to reinstate the more liberal reforms, that Struense had laid the Foundation for. They were both punished when the Dowager Queen and a Minister named Ove Høegh-Guldberg completed a coup. He was executed and she was exiled to Celle in Germany, where she died a few years later. Cut off from her two children. The daughter, Louise Augusta, was always believed to have been Struense’s daughter, but it was never proven. Her brother was always very protective of her and loved her very much. When Frederik died, without leaving an heir to the throne of Denmark, she tried to put her own son forward as a potential candidate, but it ended being Frederik’s cousin, the grandson of the Dowager Empress from the movie, who ended on the throne. But that Line didn’t last long, because his son too had no heirs and then King Christian the IX came to the throne. We LOVE Mary, btw. The Crown Prince and her husband is Frederik and their oldest son is Christian. I know it’s confusing that all but one of our Kings since the 15th century, had the name Christian or Frederik. But Mary is the Best thing that happened to Frederik and their children shows a bright future for the future of the monarchy.

Friederich Franz's elder sister Alexandrine was married to Alexandra's cousin, king Christian 10th of Denmark. Friederich Franz's younger sister Cecile was married to crown prince Wilhelm, who was supposed to be Emperor Wilhelm 3rd of Germany, and who was a brother of Victoria Louise, who became married to Alexandra's youngest brother Ernst August.

@jacquelinea3358 2 года назад

So much tragedy in all directions in these families. On a lighter note, I wonder how Princess Alexandra, later the British Queen, ended up with those startling blue eyes when her siblings had brown eyes. Check out how very much her sisters Dagmar (Russian Empress Maria) and Thyra (Princess of Hanover) looked alike, being shorter and having those tremendous overbites. Alexandra had just a passing resemblance to them. I guess she looked a bit more like her ill-fated brother, King George of Greece.

👍 video. As always, illustrations are wonderful . The marriage ones are especially lovely. Photos, I haven’t seen many of them, even though I read quite a bit about royalty. You’ve actually gotten me much more interested in the Nordic royal families! Poor Tzarina. Any mother would do anything to help her child. He actually DID help the boy, even though nobody knows how/why. Cure? No. But to hear his screaming in pain for days? And he somehow stopped it...I’m not totally convinced the population wouldn’t have accepted one of the daughters, as a leader. They DID have Catherine the Great, after all. Personally, I think if they hadn’t kept the hemophilia a secret, things may have turned out differently.🤷‍♀️. The population may have had sympathy. I also remember the fake Anastasia, Anna. This was before DNA, and followed it. A lot of people were completely convinced, including some of the Romanovs. None of us knew for SURE. The bodies hadn’t been found, etc., and when they were, well, there WERE those two missing bodies! A fascinating story. It went on for YEARS I know it’s not your forte, but....

Alix was also highly self conscious about being a minor German princess at birth and wished to be fully acknowledged and known as the Empress of Russia. When visiting her cousin, Emperor Wilhelm ii of Germany, Alix was angry that he gifted her a silver toilette set and wished for a gold one that would be acceptable for an Empress, she was also known to wear richly gowns, clothing, accessories etc to embody her status as Empress even if her taste or outfit was bad. Alix also didnt manage to speak good Russian like Maria did who was very proficient in it, and only spoke russian to those who didnt know any other langauge, she mostly spoke English or French
