Part 1: • The Royals Really Are ...
Please consider supporting me at / lindsayholiday
All 10 of the European hereditary monarchs alive today can trace their ancestry back to a single royal couple, Johan Willem Friso, Prince of Orange and Marie Louise of Hesse-Kassel. Let's meet this prolific pair and 76 of their descendent who went on to sit on the thrones of The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Luxembourg, Spain, The UK, Belgium, Monaco and Liechtenstein. And we’ll take a fascinating journey through the last 300 years of European history.
I make mini documentaries about women's history and royal history:

What I don't understand is, Alfonso's mother warned him about Victoria Eugiene being a carrier of hemophilia and possibly passing it on to her children but he didn't care and married her anyway. Then just to turn around and resent her for that? Horrible

I listened to a podcast about this. Apparently a lot of royals put the status of the family or monarch they were marrying into above their genetic disorders & ran the risk. They would rather have the prestige & disorder than no prestige & no disorder. Also, at the time, they didn’t know as much compared to what we know today with all these genetic diseases.

@alonealien1474 2 года назад

3:29 That bit of information has bothered me ever since I read about it some years ago. Alfonso XIII absolutely knew that hemophilia existed in the decedents of Queen Victoria and was repeatedly warned not to court Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg. But he chose to do so anyway because he was apparently infatuated with her and eventually married her. Then he had the gall to resent her when their son inherited the illness, an illness she had no control over, an illness he knew she could pass on to male offspring. 😑

Juan Carlos is tremendously unpopular in Spain. His son has a much better reputation but Leonor is definitely going to be a popular Queen when she grows up. Letizia, Leonor's mother is also unpopular and many people don't like her. One of Philip's sister and his brother-in-law, Cristina and Iñaki, have been embroiled in scandal and he went to prison... Honestly, I'm still surprised how much Spain sticks to their monarchs, any country would have got rid of them by now

Felipe has the hardest task of any royal today. He needs to walk the tightrope of being a neutral political overseer while keeping a spotless image for himself and his children while his father, sister, and nephews are delinquent, corrupt messes. He almost fucked up in 2018 during the Catalonian independence movement, but has managed to survive it. If he is able to sell himself as a clean sovereign and pull the monarchy out of the Intensive Care Unit, he'll be able to leave his daughter Leonor a healthy crown.

Hohen is a geographical adjective meaning Upper, as in Upper New York State. Zollern is a place name. When pronouncing it sat Ho-n-zoll- -urn...or ( Hoe)-(hen)- (zoll, rhymes with roll)-(earn, as in earn a living) I hope this is helpful. I love your videos.

So is Cindy Crawford. She featured on Who do you think you are program they traced her linage back 1000 years and is family to Charlemagne’s.

@@gloriaiirock Literally everyone alive with European ancestry is descended from Charlemagne :D Useful Charts has a GREAT vid "Is everyone a descendant of royalty?", & yeah, we all are, cos we all have _exactly_ the same ancestors 1000yrs ago. Name a European royal from then or earlier, & they're your ancestor.

How about a video of how many Saints are ancestors of Royalities? I stumbled over that topic when I was bored and traced back every royal house to a Hesse ancestor, as they are all descendants of St. Elisabeth of Thuringia. But I am sure there will be more Saints to be discovered.

I didn't know the Lichtenstein monarch is the wealthiest monarch. Who knew the tiny quiet little country would contain the richest monarch.

Great video, but just a thing. At 21:15, Emperor Maximilian of Mexico is the bearded man looking down at the couch, not the one standing looking at the camera. Also, he wasn't just appointed but *elected* Emperor. A referendum was held in 1864, where the embattled and bankrupt republic was defeated by a return to the country's original form of independent government -- constitutional monarchy.

Little bit of trivia, queen Astrid was pregnant with her fourth child when she died in the car crash.

So the most intriguing thing I got from this is Queen Elizabeth II of the UK is also related to Dracula. Who knew??

As an Asian, i've always thought European royals look alike. I learnt they're all related to each other and suddenly everything make sense.

I'm kinda surprised that the linage that led to queen Elizabeth wasn't through queen Victoria.

I love getting to hear more about Queen Mary. Do you thing you could do a video about her children? I feel I know nothing about Mary Henry George and John. Love your videos so much.
