  • The grandchildren of Queen Victoria went on to make dynastic marriages across the royal houses of Europe. Through this Victoria gained herself the nickname “Grandmother of Europe”. Although her reign is mostly associated with the 19th century a great number of her grandchildren saw the second half of the 20th century.

    It could be worth mentioning, that Charles Edward is the maternal grandfather of king Carl 16th Gustav of Sweden. And, talking about king Carl 16th Gustav of Sweden, Patricia's sister Margaret is his paternal grandmother - and Patricia's sister Margaret is also maternal grandmother of queen Margrethe 2nd of Denmark.

      @@stephaniex90 yes , she ascended the throne in 1837 not 1838 as stated in this clip. The coronation may be 1838 but that’s NOT when she ascended.

    Victoria of Hesse was also a haemophilia carrier..her great great grandson Felix has the disease. Mossy had 2 sets of twins. One of the twins Christoph was allegedly responsible for bombing Buckingham Palace in WW2 I think you mixed up Beatrice of Edinburgh with Beatrice Battenberg. Ena had 7 children..baby Fernando died soon after birth because of haemophilia.

      It seems the goal at the time was to keep the Royal Dynasties intact. I suppose there was a limited number of people who were Royal candidates for marriage, so it was, "Yo, cuz, let's get hitched!" 😂
