Another great episode of a royal we didn't know we needed to hear about!!! Such interesting life of Feodora and her relationship with her sister who clearly adored her
Thank you. I was not aware Victoria had siblings. I always thought she was an only child. Of course, I’m not fluent in British royalty, but thanks to your videos I will be. 👍🏻
I didn’t know she had any siblings either, until I started reading a bit more about her. She always acted like the she was an only child. “Alone”. She wasn’t. Her sister lived with her. Granted, she was older. But she was there. And they loved each other, wrote to each other throughout their lives. And that series Victoria? It did all right until they made poor Fedora some jealous harridan that her and Albert would even oh my I can’t even why did they DO that? Albert wouldn’t, Fedora wouldn’t, and Victoria and her sister were so close until death. What a SMEAR on her, and Albert, and now people will think that. Shame on them, for doing that. For salacious reasons. I guess the fact that they were absolutely devoted to each other wasn’t good enough? This series is most peoples knowledge of Victoria and Albert, unfortunately .
Thank you. Very interesting always thought she was alone! As betrayed in the movies. Really did not think she had siblings until your post. 👍🏽 so much interesting information about the royals all over Europe. What a wonderful thing to be able to go back that far in the family tree. 😕
Feodora was the 1/2 sister of Queen Victoria. They had the same mother but only Victoria was born into the royal family. She also had a 1/2 brother as her mother had been married before and had two children with her 1st husband. Victoria was raised as an only child and heir to the throne.
Feodora was more than eleven years older than her halfsister Victoria. After the death of her stepfather, the Duke of Kent, the "Kensington System" was used to isolate Victoria. As a child, Feodora was one of the few people she was allowed to have contact with, aside from the daughters of Sir John Conroy.
Karl, Prince of Leiningen, KG (Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Emich; 12 September 1804 - 13 November 1856 because of stroke As a mediatized house, the Princes of the Leiningen were members of the Landtag diet in Baden, as well as in Bavaria and Hesse. Prince Karl became president of the Bavarian upper house (Reichsrat) in 1842 and also pursued a career in the Bavarian Army as Lieutenant general à la suite of the Cavalry. On 20 April 1842, he and 20 other noblemen gathered at Biebrich Palace, where they established the Adelsverein to organize the settlement of German emigrants in Texas; Karl was elected president of the society. By the German revolutions of 1848-49, Leiningen had achieved much reputation as a liberal reformer and freethinker. He advocated the implementation of parliamentarism and openly criticized aristocracy's privileges; therefore, he was appointed Prime Minister of Revolutionary Germany by Regent (Reichsverweser) Archduke John of Austria on 6 August 1848. With a Catholic head of state and a Lutheran head of government, an equilibrium was reached in German dualism; moreover, Leiningen's close relations to the British Royal House were generally appreciated. His cabinet initially could rely on a liberal and left-wing majority in the newly established Frankfurt Parliament, however, as early as on 5 September, he resigned over the Schleswig-Holstein Question when in the First Schleswig War King Frederick William IV of Prussia unilaterally signed an armistice with Denmark at Malmö. The delegates of the Frankfurt assembly reacted with outrage and Leiningen, unable to assert the powers of the central authority, was forced to step down. He was succeeded by the Austrian politician Anton von Schmerling, who acted as Prime Minister until December. In 1851, Karl also resigned as president of the Adelsverein and was succeeded by Prince Hermann of Wied. Shortly after his half sister's daughter Victoria became engaged to Prince Frederick of Prussia, in 1855, he suffered a severe apoplectic attack. A second attack in November the following year was fatal, and he died at Waldleiningen Castle at the age of fifty-two, with his sister Feodora at his bedside.
Victoria was nade to share a bed chamber with her mother, as soon as she outgrew the need of a nursery and nannies. This was supposed to strengthen her mother's control over Victoria. The two shared a bed chamber until Victoria gained the throne and removed her mother from control. How was she supposed to have married a minor prince and have two more children in a German principality while living in England, smothering her daughter until she vecame queen at 18? The math doesn't support this 'history.' I'm inclined to believe the girl was Victoria 's cousin as siblings simply cannot work within the known FACTS of Victoria 's life in England.
You should really work on your ability to listening comprehension and how to process the data or just simply do a little bevor writing such nonsense theories based only on your limited knowledge
