The amounts given in this video are greatly overstated. The various palaces are not usually personal properties of the Royal Families but belong to the "Crown" which means the State and cannot be sold so their value is not at all personal.
I agree 100%, the British Royal Family does not have 20 billion dollars at their disposal, the State/Crown owns the majority of the properties and the income from those properties is partially how both the King and the Prince of Wales earn an income
The Dutch Queen Wilhelmina, the grandmother of Princess Beatrix, was the world's first female billionaire. At the time, the Oranjes had 25% shares in Royal Dutch Shell. To date, it is not known how many shares of Shell the Dutch royal family owns, they traded the shares in other financial constructions at the time, but do own them.
Interesting documentary, but I think more research was needed. These kinds of clips are very misleading but still interesting. The british Royal family actually goes back as far as the 7th century, and so do many other European Royals, especially the Scandinavian Nations. In many ways, lots of European Royal family are someway intertwined with each after generation of marriages.
This was so poorly done, Prince Albert only has two children with Princess Charlene, he may have 4 children but only 2 of them are prince/princess’s and only 2 of them are in the line of succession. I do not know who those other two children on that balcony picture were, but I don’t think they were Albert’s children.
This is so full of errors regarding the names and identities of family members. It makes one question the rest of it. Do the members of the royal families actually OWN the palaces? I doubt it.
The pictures in of Amalienborg and Christiansborg on the introduction image are swabbed. Only Marselisborg and Cayx are owned by the queen. The rest are state property, though they are at the queen's disposal. Except Christiansborg. Christiansborg houses the parliament, the supreme court and the offices of the prime minister. There is a suite called the royal representation rooms, but they are used only for offical events. The queen also owns a hunting lodge. This is just an ordinary house, not a grand royal hunting lodge like the Hermitage.
Met a lot of these royals back in the day 1975-1979 at Queen Alexandra's Royal Naval Reserve in Sandy Point, NS. RIP Max of Baden, Princess Elizabeth of Denmark, Ingrid of Sweden, Prinze Henrik, and King Constantine II. RiP Duke of Edinburgh (Prinze Mountbatten) or Battenburg. RiP QE2. Knew Edward and Charles too but didn't see them around much.
You got almost nothing right about the British royal family, starting with when the House of Windsor came to the throne. The name of the royal family in 1917 was Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Didn't sound good when your royal family sounds like the country you're at war with. In 1917 by order of King George V he changed the family name to Windsor. That was affirmed in the 1950s when the Queen ordered that regardless of her husband's last name The House of Windsor reigned in the United Kingdom.
The house of Glücksborg has been the royal house of Denmark since 1863, and of Norway since 1905. There are just too many errirs. i am not going to watch any more of this.
The King of the Netherlands was Grand Duke of Luxembourg till the death of King Willem III in 1890. Because of the Salic law. Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands could not ascend the Grand Ducal Throne which did not allow female rulers therefore it went to a cousin of her from another branch of the Nassau family.
Very entertaining but not quite correct. The Norwegian kingdoms began in 1905 not 1825 they claim. The House of Orange of the Netherlands have a private fortune running into billions. The Royal House of the Netherlands goes back to the 16th Century but country didn't become a Kingdom until 1815.
Some dodgy pronunciations but why do you show the British flag for London and the Scottish flag for. Scotland? You known Scotland is part of the United Kingdom? If you’re showing a Scottish flag 🏴 then show an English one 🏴 too!
