The Royals Really Are All Related 

Hiii, i love your channel 😍and

I’ve been playing this for a few months.

@History Tea Time with Lindsay Holiday hi Lindsay! Been a subscriber for years now! Could you please do a video on the Dollar Princesses/ Husband Hunters? There is only one detailed video about them on RU-vid that I could find. While it was very interesting, it was extremely hard to understand what the narrator was saying. It’s in English, it’s just that the narrator is putting on some kind of voice, I believe. Very low and breathy. I would be absolutely ecstatic if you would make your own Dollar Princesses video! I so much want to learn about them. You teach me so much and entertain me at the same time. You would make a great Dollar Princesses video, OF COURSE! 😆 hope you will consider this! Thank you!

Actually, King George II of Great Britain is the most recent royal ancestor of all the monarchs that ever existed even now, since George II was a king and Johan Friso wasn't

I've been playing June's for a couple of years now it's fun

Not for you though, king henry did you dirty

@@xianxiannn ayy yesh😪

@@stbart-uc6mo poor queen, i liked you the most out of Henrys wives

@@xianxiannn Hi!

@@xianxiannn Aww thankyou :)

This remind me Kaguya, only have Hagoromo and Hamura, then from Hagoromo we get Ashura and Indra, and also from Hamura another bransh and you get most of the clans in Naruto. Or the Peverell and Black family tree, but in this case is more like Naruto's one xDD

@@MarauderPeter21 right

Inventions

Yea no kidding that's what I was thinking

Lol

Takes "we have so much in common" to a whole new level.

Aren't we all....

Wow I’m not surprised

@@bigmoniesponge Fun fact: im related to princess estelle and prince oscar of sweden

Yeah. We have all these cute stories about them too. Like the little picture book depicting their first winter here. And have you heard the one about the laundress who discovered that she was secretly actually ironing the royal families clothes? It’s silly but sweet.

That was an interesting response!

Thanks for admitting that your "royal" family Really isn't ROYAL!. BLACKS RULED THERE ALSO!.

It’s a little less benevolent when u consider the times of imperial revolts and revolutions. Pretty sure he wanted to know the levels of the “off with his head” crowd rather than encouraging democracy lol.

@@nincumpoop9747 it’s A LOT less malevolent than you’re making it out to be

how so

Explains a lot!!

@Women's rights was a mistake yeah, you go ahead, good luck with that....

Not as bad as the double-first cousin and even uncle-niece marriages in the Hapsburg family.

Same with the Egyptians.

My great-grandmother's parents were 1st cousins...her father's father and mother's mother were siblings. Hallelujah there were completely separate, unrelated lines they had married.

Maud of Wales/Haakon VIII , William III/Mary II, Victoria/Albert be like:

This explains all the waring. It's the rage of the inbred.

But they stopped doing so… did Georgia?

Even my grandparents are 3rd cousins seems like a norm before

@@rodentswithlove7686 i don't even think we measure family this far here. (Scandinavia) could you det it up for me? How far back is the same parents in this?

You guys are clowning alabama and royal fams Where in desi countries (india pakistan bangladesh) Its widely accepted and really common And which is why 90% of my aunts uncles are cousins which makes the family tree really confusing

Nah, it’s only siblings up for grabs in AL.

Agree I find her fascinating. Politics are a given but I love her hand in Aesthetics n fashion!

She is a very cool Lady. When having press conferences she is never given the questions in advance and the journalists can ask her what ever they want. And her answers are often funny but always intelligent.

💜

What an inspiring woman. Literally iconic. I'm American and I can't help but admire how damn talented she is.

@@ThePhantomSafetyPin hardly a woman ...

Victoria, I was illegitimate as my father was a raging homosexual! This is how haemophilia was introduced to the british royal family

@@johnoneill4483 I don't know the resemblance between Victoria and her father Edward Duke of Kent is second only to King Ralph and the Duke of Windsor. Hemophilia is caused by mutation when a man is over 50 when he fathers a child. The Duke was 52 when he fathered Victoria.

I guess you had quite a few dates at that time ;-)

Cute story with knowlege learned well done lad

Depends upon how you are going to sit on that chair

@@kathleenscheidt7339 you could sit on both before deciding which one is more comfortable!

During a Religious Education class, my teacher said chosing a marriage partner is like finding a coat to wear for the rest of your life, fit for all weathers and fashions.

I’d never take love advice from anyone okay with incest.

@@kathleenscheidt7339 does Biden's lap count as a chair?

I've thought the same thing too. My parents were like that and I try to not pass that mentality on except for hygiene matters.

That's just the universal human nature. We all tend to have huge blind spots in our values when it's convenient to our self-interest.

They didn't really love their families it was all about money if they really love their families they would make the world a better place for them to be in it is really a manipulative thing telling the children to stay close so that they could be manipulated because they're too young to know any better

@@AnnaMarianne The cold cruel reality I am not condoning it not even a little bit but it is what it is what it is let us hope that they do not hold on with two ferment grip and crush opportunity

I know right, Brandenburg, Strelitz, Mecklenburg, Pomerania, Bavaria, Baden, Westphalia, Wurttemberg, Ansbach, Holstein, Schleswig, Sondenburg, Augustenborg, and like a 100 more not counting the combined ones.

@@kawaiipotato7775 The combined ones are BONKERS, & I'm not devoting my life to sorting them out, cos it wouldn't tell me much. I just go "they married some German royal-ish cousin, whatevs" :D

@@beth7935 Lol

The Windsors a r e German. Until the end of WWI they used their German name Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. But changed it to Windsor because of growing anti German sentiments in the Britain. The same reason Battenberg (berg meaning mountain in German) changed to Mountbatten.

Only 33.

Hey, almost 100 subs!

@@stbart-uc6mo Yes! Thank you for supporting me!

@@royaltyfandomx You will likely reach 200 subs in the next 2 months.

@Women's rights was a mistake Shut up ATCE fanboy.

Hiii

It shows you how few people actually populated the planet back then compared to today I think. My genealogy says I’m related to Ragnar Lothbrook and Rollo and I only found that out by tracing my unique 1st name. Then I came to the conclusion that there must be tens of thousands of descendants. Curious of the math on that, maybe it’s even more.

Yes my Great grandfather x21 Robert the Bruce

I am Estonian so i doubt that i am related to royalty

Well, Queen Anne didn’t create the succession laws, Parliament did. But, other than that, you’re right.

This is the other side of their line. This is Prince Albert’s line. The side you speak of is Queen Victoria’s line.

@@kate_cooper true, good clarification.

@@sophiarose7610 Queen Victoria is a descendant of George 1st of Great Britain. My point was that in the beginning of the video, it seems like the throne went right from William 3rd to George 1st, but Queen Anne did some important things inbetween.

@@benedictewrstad8379 WE KNOW! But if you paid attention, these is following Prince Albert’s family tree!!!! That’s why she skipped Queen Anne. It’s not about the BRITISH Royal Family until Albert and Victoria marry. Maybe wait for part 2?

At least she gave him two choices instead of saying you are marrying the one I want you to marry.

@@aliciachristopher6506 True. Not too many royals got a choice.

Thanks

SPLENDID!

Usefulcharts made a really good video on this topic :)

Not at all. This get to show royalty was a selective club

Noi one's royal😂

I'm American. My grandfather was descended from one of HenryVII bastard sons. Means nothing.😁

Mine goes back to the Lennox and Stewart's.

You must remember that the norwegian monarchy was very vulnerable. Harald's two sisters, Ragnhild and Astrid had already married and for many many years, the monarchy was only king Olav and his son prince Harald. And was Harald not allowed to marry Sonja, the monarchy would die out. And history repeats itself. King Harald faced a similar dilemma when his son Haakon Magnus wished to marry, no only a commoner, but a single mother. Perhaps it has gone just a bit too far. Anyway, I will leave it to the norwegians to decide whether they want a monarchy or not.

Lol true

Might be a bluff. Still worked though

She was just queen Anne, as there was no other monarch called Anne

@@glen7318 You are correct, I only learned about the whole ‘Monarchs only gain a regnal number after at least one subsequent monarch has shared their name’ thing embarrassingly recently 😅

It's like disney 😍

Right

Get you a man who loves you so much, he would literally rather end his lineage than not be yours.

I mean his own grand parents had a famously odd marriage. The theory is that old King Olav was the royal doctors son and not King Haakon’s. Couple that with being a kid during WWII and being forced to flee the country and therefor growing up patly in America, and the fact that King Haakon was selected by the people’s representatives to be King in the first place (and that Haakon nevr forgot this fact), defenetly would have made him more close to the people than most and also valuing real family. It makes just totall logical sense why he chose to mary the woman he loved and who he felt he could have a real family with. SIde note King Haakon didn’t refuse to abdicate during WWII. That’s entierly wrong What he refused was to agree to the terms of the German. He was the king, not the government and so felt that he simply could not make that desicion for the people. His solution was actually to announce that because he was morally opposed to the Nazis he would be forced to abdicate if the government made piece with the invading force, but that it was all their own democratic decision as to what to actually do. This was followed by the government declariring that they would in fact not surrender, and all of them going to Britain to govern from there. I felt tlike this part is very important to understanding the character of the Norwegian royal family. It’s kinda a familly tradition to threated to end the royal line at this point.

Can’t help but notice how many royals simply left their countries when bullied by Germany…. Left the common people to deal with them. And why was everyone so afraid of Germany when they had the numbers against them??

If they thought royalty was dumb then I love that

The french did the opposite, they hunted the jews for the nazis. The nazis would give them a list and very obediently they loaded trains with jews. They behaved in a despicable manner. No compassion , no honor. At the end of the war they were one of the victorious powers.

@@feynman6625 oh didn’t know that

@@feynman6625 and France is still both antisemitic and pretty islamophobic :/ makes me ashamed to be French

Dont think that that is true. he didn't like the persecurtion of the Jews but he didn't wear a Star of David

Idk what that is but yea 🤣

Yeah. Except the protagonist in those stories takes forever to decide. He just picked one

Very cool!

It's easy when you considering everybody was doing their relatives

Can we see? Do you have a link

@@user-wr4eh7gh4b i dont have it anymore, but i might make a video at some point, doing it properly. we'll see if i can make it interesting enough (and without doing what a dozen better youtubers have done before me)

My home is right nearby there.

Yup. Counting Emma's Regency we have an equal number of Kings and Queens, with the next in line being another future Queen (Princess Amalia).

Really? My country had male "kings" before them for ages...

@@micheldekam3491almost as if most presidents or monarchs or whatever haven’t been males oh wait……

@@micheldekam3491really? MISOGYNY/SEXISM existed since ages we already know

She looks really good for being 108 years old!

I rewinded that part sooo many times lol

Also, Estelle's grandfather, Carl XVI Gustaf, became king in 1973, not in the year mentioned at 24:24

24:52 Estelle was, of course, born in 2012.

Why would you want such?

🧐🤔😳😂😂😂😂😂

Gosh! Orange you funny!!!

@@piratesswoop725 I know, was more intended as a joke. Sorry.

Estelle of Sweden and my oldest son where born in the same year.

I went looking for this comment 🤣

Actually, with modern extended lifespans, we will likely see kings and queens being crowned much later in life than earlier - some may even die before that happens. It will be interesting to see how they deal with this.

This aged well

@@GalacticalHistorian Yes! (As the lady worked ‘til her dying day) 👑

Even she had some social conscience and tried to put off the inevitable succession as long as possible. What a sickening collection they all are.

her father (king george vi) was suddenly forced to rule back then when his elder brother abdicated, so she did not want to put her descendants through that 😊

No, if I'm not wrong, Albert II of Monaco is not a descendant of George II and Caroline of Ansbach

@@kawaiipotato7775 I think you might be right. However, he is a descendant of one of Caroline's sisters :)

@@PGJ0908 Yeah, so George I is an ancestor of all European Monarchs? Well he lived a lot of time before the couple in question which makes it less impressive but still cool

@@kawaiipotato7775 George I is George II's father, so this still wouldn't hold true, although it might for Caroline's father.

@@kintongreen3625 Oh right, I mis-read it XD So Caroline's father is the ancestor of all European monarchs, got it

It was an avalanche

@@graphiteandglitter thats what I say

@@tammieveentjes7281 yes but you used the Dutch word in a comment written in English😀

@@graphiteandglitter ooh now I see it. Thank you🤣🤣 that was a little mistake🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@tammieveentjes7281 😁😁👍🏾👍🏾

yeah the Russians would have loved a return of the Monarchy wiht a female monarch

IK, counting Emma's Regency we have an equal number of male and female rulers, with the next in line being a girl again, Princess Amalia.

I believe Denmark actually changed their law, so now the firstborn always inherit the throne, regardless of gender.

But there are both good and bad male and female rulers over the course of history. It is not so much the gender, but the times and the personality of the ruler.

A King or Queen doesn't rule a country alone at all, even in Monarchies there's a power structure and many levels of administration from the top to the local government, so much so that in some cases a Monarch can be ousted, and I bet that almost all this power structure in european countries was controlled in the majority by men, including the military and religions institutions. So calm down your feminist fantasies. For every good woman leader that was Queen there's probably 2 or 3 other male Kings who were just as relevant, but maybe are not remembered as much because their era was not as interesting as others.

@@HereIAm247translation being male doesn’t make anyone good at anything and NOT being male doesn’t make anyone “bad” at anything

Did she go? QUeen does not often attend royal funerals, and has not travelled abraod much in many years due to getting older

Were you aware that she said someone was born in 1912 rather than 2012? 🙄 Completely agree. After the first couple of comments, just like them. No need to add to the “conversation”.
