King George III’s Sons, Part 2 

Never thought of it like that before. But now I will!

Histortea☕️

Totally agree. The royal's lives are like a soap opera.

😂😂😂 Biiitttcchhh its the best form of getting the T

We have to learn from history. If we do not, we will repeat it. Look at recent history. Are we learning?

I totally agree, but bringing your sister in law to tears when they ask about calling her Georgiana is not a good move.

Today, obviously not. But back then it was extremity common to name children after living or dead close relatives. One of my ancestors lost 14 children in childhood, and three of the girls were named Martha.

Yeah that’s just insensitive

Ok jew

I hope Queen Victoria is burning in Hell with her dad, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn and her great great grandson Prince Philip. 👗👠👑💍

King Edward IV's younger brother Prince Edmund, Earl of Rutland had the last laugh even though he predeceased his brothers and failed to become king after his nephews King Edward V and Prince Richard died since he was killed at age 17 in the Battle of Wakefield in 1460 during the War of Roses, he has over 100,000 living direct descendants. 💐🌷🌹🌺🌸🌼💮

I wish Queen Victoria was never born.

@@kashfiaislam9995 He died at 17 and has 30 000 descendants?

Erns Augustus, the fifth brother also technically had some form of a laugh as his male line is the current senior male line of the family and still on the throne of Hanover. But of course it's possible his one of his older brothers has a more senior male line still continuing via their possible illegitimate sons.

I thought it was Augustus Frederick who gave Victoria away at her wedding

@@twilight-princess240 I didn't notice 😬 Thanks 😬

@@twilight-princess240 "The Duke of Sussex was the favourite uncle of Queen Victoria. He gave her away at her wedding to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in 1840." Source: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Augustus_Frederick,_Duke_of_Sussex The confusion might be due to the fact that the other, much less pleasant and liked brother was called Ernst Augustus: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Augustus,_King_of_Hanover He was actually quite infamous: "Ernest was an active member of the House of Lords, where he maintained an extremely conservative record. There were persistent allegations (reportedly spread by his political foes) that he had murdered his valet, had fathered a son by his sister Sophia, and intended to take the British throne by murdering Victoria."

@@aleksanderkorecki7887 probably 🤭 I'm already not good remembering names, the fact the names are similar makes it even harder 😅

William and Adelaide were also quite fond of her, but they hated her mother, so that made things awkward. William was determined to live until she was old enough to be queen without a regent, however, because he believed in her. He just barely made it.

Sadly children still die. Our nephew died of cancer at age 9.

@@mienafriggstad3360 I'm truly sorry for your loss. Cancer is a ruthless desease, but hopefully wherever he is he is safe and happy. My condolences.

@@mienafriggstad3360 I am so sorry to hear that. Parents should never outlive their children

Sadly enough, that has actually been the norm throughout human history. In the past, people married young and had many children; also, infant and childhood mortality rates have traditionally been very high. Combine these facts, and the result that it was statistically expected that many (if not most) parents would bury at least one child.

I actually cried

Given that haemophilia was introduced to the royal family with Queen Vic, and doesn't seem to have been present in either the maternal or paternal lines beforehand, it is entirely possible that she was illegitimate...and he may not have cared if he was desperate for a child.

@@lilymarinovic1644 he was 51 when Victoria was born, and since the rate of spontaneous mutation increases with the age of even one of the parents, there are those who think Victoria's hemophilia was through spontaneous mutation due to her father's age

@@lilymarinovic1644 Sorry but I don’t believe in that theory at all. Victoria looked too much like her father and grandfather George III. I do think it was because he was so advanced in age as well. Also she married her first cousin. As beautiful as their love story is, that might have also been a factor sadly.

I love that his father seems to be the first to love and protect his daughter's. King George and Edward would have been happy.

Basically, karma for all that bullying

Ya it’s sad cause back then a woman’s main goal in life was to marry and have children. Imagine dreaming of completing that goal but having it stripped by your own parents

I said that too

I dont feel that we're obligated to be married, they probably were grateful at times they werent married off to some 70 year out suitor, but that said I believe they're parents should have given them to choose what they wanted to do, whether it was marriage or just freedom and travel.

@@dailythebigcheese it seems that enough of them ended up getting married that it looks like most of their daughters who wanted to do so could.

The three daughters of King Louis XV of France also did not marry, the reason being that three men of suitable rank among European royalty was not available for them.I suspect it was possibly the same for the English princesses'. It was not until after the first world war when the royal houses no longer held political power that the marriage circle for royal women began to expand.

George and Charlotte were, abnormally for royal couples at the time, not related in any significant way (I think they may have been third cousins once removed or something, but genetically that’s irrelevant) and Charlotte herself was one of 10 children, so she came from a hardy line, and their children actually got to enjoy some modern medicine

Ernst wasn't even that bad, the press that hounded him

There still is the Equestrian Monument of Ernst August in front of the Main Station in Hanover - it´s the main meeting point in Hanover. And the largest square in the city is still named Ernst-August-Platz (Ernst-August-Square).

At least this line still exist.🤕

It came from her russian Godfather the Tsar Alexander

And her mother and governess addressed her as "Drina" when she was a child.

@@queenofnoobies2412 I think Alexandra would’ve been better than Alexandrina 🧍🏽‍♀️

@@charlesstuart954 maybe the Drina bit was more Russian

I think Alexandrina comes from the german name Alexandrine which was pronounced as Alexandrina

He did twice marry without the monarch's permission

@@pedanticradiator1491 Yeah, but for Hanoverians that's child's play. It's no "murdered valet who knew of homosexual love affair" yknow?

@@ReplicaateI thought it was "murdered valet who he may have been having an affair with"? Maybe I misheard. Personally I think the "maybe raped his own sister and got her pregnant" is the most scandalous of the goings-on

@@lilymarinovic1644 I mean the version of the scandal *I* always knew was that the valet knew he was having gay flings, rather than he was having gay flings with the valet. I might've misheard the video. And yeah it's hard to beat incestuous assault when it comes to Hanoverian scandal. Even if it wasn't true, that prince needed some as yet not invented therapy.

but not surprising, given the overly protective and possessive attitude of their parents

Agreed! It instantaneously brightens my day when I see a new video has been posted!

Same here, I even watch some again until a new release. I love these videos, I find them calming, educational, and hilarious sometimes depending on what snafu such and such royal got themselves into. Thank you for your wonderful work!

From George ll's childrens Mary and Frederick here Is how victoria and christian Ix of denmark are related

Thai monarch is gonna be juicy. People can easily get jailed for saying anything remotely questionable about them. They interfere A LOT with politics too and are known to be behind most of the anti-democracy military coups in the past many decades. In the last election the military junta party, backed by the king, almost got contested by the king's sister who announced she was running for the opposition party (like a commoner) lol That was a real stunning move that got everyones jaw dropped. The junta party has no policy or vision other than claiming they are the one who will protect the royals from being "attacked" and bringing order back to the country, so the princess running against these old military dudes was really killing their "royal protector" claims 🤣 Then the royal office released a statement real quick that the royal family should not interfere with politics. 😂 More fun fact: the king's sister had been stripped of her title because she married an American commoner and went to live in the US for many years before she finally divorced, returned home and got forgiven and granted an honorary title by her father the late king. No one dares talking negatively about the previous and current kings publicly but with gen Z kids nowadays (they are so crazy brave, they aren't afraid of the police literally kidnapping and jailing them) so people start to talk more about this online, safety in number I guess. The Thai royals copy lots of British propaganda PR tactics too, you can easily notice it, from the king's holiday/new year's speech to the slow unique way each royal family member speaks, and how they refer to themself as we, and so many more. I grew up in Thailand and I had no idea these were copied from the British until I watched Lindsay's videos and I was like, holy sh..t I have seen these somewhere else before!

And that's not counting any miscarriages she might have had.

Baby math is terrifying

I will second this motion of this Seggestion.

I think a few on the list already have their own videos.

Oh I totally forgot about Anne Hyde as well.

@@--enyo-- yes I know that Margaret Beaufort, Mary Princess of Orange and there's a bit on Sophia Dorothea of Celle but it would be nice to have a bit more information about these ladies. Kind of expanding the previous series about queens and consorts of England / the UK

What about William the Conqueror mother? And Henry II mother?

Men can father children much later in life than women can.

@@ISeeWhatYouDidThere HOLY SHIT, REALLY?!

@@ISeeWhatYouDidThere Can you explain this? Details, please.

@@CallieMasters5000 People who are assigned female at birth are only born with a certain number of egg cells, unlike people who are assigned male at birth, who constantly create new sperm cells throughout their lives.

@@mediocremaiden8883 😂😂😂

The British Royal Family reuses names almost as much as the Barbie movies do. (Kidding of course. Even Barbie has nothing on the recycling bin that is the royals name pool)

The eldest son of the later William IV committed suicide. I suppose if you knew that if only your parents had been married you would have been King would be enough to make anyone a little mad. Not sure what happened to the other?9

If i know some of them mingled with the aristocrats and produced heirs and probably most or some of the peerage families can be linked through Queen Victoria's illegitimate cousins

They all basically married into the nobility because even if they're illegitimate, they're still children and grandchildren of a king.

There is plenty of documentation on illegitimate lines closer to the present day especially since they were still married into noble families if they so choose.

The FitzClarence descendants of William IV are well documented. Augustus's two children Augustus and Augusta did not have children. The others less so, because they were not acknowledged. Geprge IV amd Frederick etc did not acknowledge bastards. Nor could their sisters as unmarried British princesses. Sophia and Amelia allegedly had one child each.

Honestly, same. When I saw she was making a series on King George III, the first thing my mind thought was that he was the tyrannical king during the American Revolution. He had a much more interesting life than just that, but that's all I was taught as a child, so that's what my mind associates him with.

Boris is a descendant of George II so it is not impossible

Sure does. Since he is a distant descendant of the Hanover line it makes sense though.

What a terrible choice they had to make between two risks: smallpox or inoculation.

She probably would have hated her. Mostly because she was “that woman’s” daughter.

her full name was Alexandrina Victoria, but when she became queen, she decided to use the name Victoria full time

@@twilight-princess240 ahhh okay, thank you :)

Victoria was her second or middle name

That's a good one!

Also the illegitimate children to!

Maybe would have invented new ones like Victoria did with her son Prince Arthur Duke of Connaught
