Victoria saying her children were not good looking. She was no beauty and some of the children resembled her. Luckily Albert was nice looking and that helped the the children's looks.
Actually, Queen Victoria simply hated being pregnant, and delivering, and she didn't like children when they were infants, and that is a point when she called them "frog-like". Ozzy Osbourne and she must have had a very intense sex life, otherwise there would not have been so many children. Due to her and upbringing, she had a rather bipolar personality.
Amy Neill. This could describe my mother. A highly intelligent lady who was not allowed to continue her education on the bullying tactics of her step mother. She was a very frustrated intellectual lady her whole life. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond her control in her adult life she was unable to do further studies. She did however take great pride in two of her children who were very intelligent and achieved their ambitions.
"A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste"!! Keeping a Person (Man or Women) From getting an Education is So Inhumane and Cruel) No Wonder She Felt Frustration in Her Life. Bless Her!!
Fascinating content that competes with music. One channel I followed was short stories in two versions. One with music and one without. Please consider releasing a version of this -it’s great- with narration only. Thank you.
Vicky didn't "grow up to be so intelligent because she had to follow a rigorous educational schedule". She was voracious for knowledge virtually from birth, a child Baron Stockmar regarded as "gifted to the point of genius". Her tutors could hardly keep up with her, that's how exceptional she was. Her younger brother Bertie (later Edward VII) was subjected to a similarly intense teaching regime but it failed as he was not intellectual like his sister and buckled under the strain.
@@dianawardrip5171 I think Bertie suffered because he was held to the impossible standard set by a more gifted sister and by an extraordinarily rigid, neurotic father. He wasn’t as intelligent as Vicky, and his tutors and parents failed to accept that and adjust their expectations for him. He also wasn’t suited to the style of schooling that required him to sit still for hours at a time. He probably would have done quite well in a less formal environment that engaged him in a more active, tactile way. Naturally, he rebelled with tantrums. The teaching regimen in which the genius Vicky thrived only harmed Bertie, who-while never his sister’s intellectual equal-did not grow up to be a stupid man.
I always thought Vicky the most attractive of Queen Victoria's daughters, rather than the least. Her figure was just a little round, but her face was lovely. All the other siblings had those long, hook noses, including the queen. And of course, there was Vicky's amazing intellect, which has been written about many times.
She was the prettiest. She didnt look like her mother, just inherited her height. She is the most distinct looking of her siblings, the others look so alike. Her face looks way more developed. Way more attractive then Louise, who is ...I dunno how she was considered the most beautiful.
It’s so weird how Helena and Louise looked SOOO similar and yet the former was considered most ugly and plain, and the latter was the most beautiful Vicky was waaay more beautiful
I agree, I have always thought Vicky was beautiful, especially when she was young. She was a beautiful teenager. I think she inherited her father's good looks. I don't know why she's overlooked by people in the looks department.
I don’t understand why the Russians hated Victoria and the British, including Queen Victoria hated her husband, when it was the Queen who chose this man for her, and his family also agreed for them to meet!! 😆😂
I don’t see anyone complaining about the presenter s voice and pronunciation making any videos ! I learned a lot.😊keep up the good work and keep trying.
It’s always sucked, only back then they were to stupid and frightened to admit it. I worry for our own RF. William and Catherine don’t deserve the crap that’s levelled at them.
@@user-fq8rs7rz3i That Whole "Monarchy Thing" Needs to End!! Most of These "Royals" do Nothing but Dress Up and Attend Parties and Silly, Meaningless Functions. Everyone would be Alot Happier if They Were Free to do Their "Own Thing" Instead of Putting on a Constant SHOW For the Public!!
this is the first time I've heard about how abusive Queen Victoria was to her own children. it's understandable given the relationship she had with her own mother but it was surprising.
Queen victoria was a child abuser as we called today. She was cruel and short fuse her grandson king George V he was the same with his children, and Queen Mary of teck she the same behaviour towards her children. Never love them. No wander they grew up so desfuntiinal
What a well researched video! Thank you for this informative piece! It’s tragic that such a brilliant woman was stifled at every turn! She would have been a well respected intellectual today. Perhaps a noted professor, or even a world leader! Subscribed and liked. I look forward to your future work! Amy
The Princess Victoria was The Princess Royal just as her brother became The Prince of Wales. Titles given to the eldest daughter and son of the monarch. Today The Princess Anne is The Princess Royal.
Wrong the first ascending to the throne is the prince of wales by historical tradition should be born in wales thus fore-filling king Edward the 1st claim born in wales doesn’t speak English you have no problem with them being your monarch but that’s the French legend since England and Ireland at the time were ruled by the frogs (Norman’s fyi the queen is a descendent of frog billy the bastard William the conqueror so still frogs)fun the USA carry’s on the inbreeding tradition (hill Billy’s)
I actually don't think she was as terrible as we are led to believe. Yes she was harsh, critical but they were signs of the times. Queen Victoria hadn't been shown how to be a mother herself I do believe she loved her children in her own peculiar way
@@hotintxs exactly, her father was dead, her mother needed a man to help her and was susceptible to John Conroy (her less than stellar, household comptroller. Victoria loved her husband but wasn't prepared to be a mother because she hadn't had a good one, herself
Sometimes I forget how much Queen Victoria was verbally abusive parent to her children. Which makes sense because she suffered from abuse in her childhood and the cycle just continues but you think she would understand and be less harsh with your kids
Vicky was a intellectual because of her father prince Albert. she inherited all his smartness, so sad she was such a cruel mother to the crown prince .maybe that was the reason Wilhelm was such a cold person. my grandmother would always tell me how much Vicky was disliked in Germany, because of her attitude being a English princess made her so much better. no I do not think she was a nice person
Yep. Their pretend destain was a cover for their fear of the British Empire, in case we took their crown. They’d have been better off, wouldn’t they? 🤣😅😂
@@markgarin6355 I have had to stop watching this video, the narration and mispronounciation was just too irritating. I promise you some of us do know how to properly pronounce our language!
There are some basic flaws in this video, first there was simply no "Empress of Prussia", a title which never existed. Prussia was a Kingdom. She was Queen of Prussia and German Empress, for 99 days. The 2nd German Empire was created after German unification in 1870 and her Father in Law was created German Emperor (not Emperor of Germany!) still being King of Prussia. Secondly, it was not about being hated or loved by the people of Prussia. It was being bullied at the Prussian Court which was extremely stiff and conservative and being outsider with her liberal ideas and that of her husband the crown prince Friedrich.
She was intelligent but not because she had to follow a rigorous education curriculum, but because she was clever Other children are born into the same family and have same rules but they are not intelligent
Wilhaym?? Vicky was born intelligent and acquired knowledge easily. This video could have been so interesting and informative had it not been for the strident narrator, very poor pronunciation all embellished with untruths. 🙄
Helena's pictures show that she was quite lovely. Being a middle child amongst ALL those children must have been hard; she must have been often overlooked. If all these women would have had birth control and modern day birth delivery methods, so much suffering could have been prevented. First, QV would not have been forced to have child after child. She hated babies and thought they looked like frogs. As a child she had no friends, no children around, no babies to be curious about, so no wonder she had no interest in her babies. Had she been more curious and willing to learn, her children might have turned out better. However, she was also queen and all her pregnancies and births were such a terrible BOTHER!! And then, the worst thing of all was that she was an unknowing carrier of the hemophilia gene and ironically, she spread this dread disease throughout all the kingdoms of Europe, as Victoria engineered marriages for all her children. Her youngest, Leopold, was a hemophiliac and grew to be a young man before he died after a fall. Princess Vicky was brilliant but Bertie was a dullard. Too bad Princess Vicky could not have been queen. To the creator of this video, great info but that background music needed to be varied or removed altogether.
Wonderful, though epitome was mispronounced. I only point it out because I mispronounced it for a long time and wish someone had corrected me sooner lol!
Princess Vicky wondered why her son was fretful? She tied his good arm behind his back! She committed child abuse because she was embarrassed about a handicapped child. The horrible things she did, off her own back! Not doctors advice. That child woukd have been traumatised for life!
When Queen Victoria was as an only child all attention was on and about her, she had no siblings wasn't taught how to share, so when she became queen she was surrounded by yes people, so she inevitably became a selfish greedy woman that resented her own mother so much, she couldn't bond with her children, was jealous of the affection her husband Albert doted on the children and never could give her kids the GOOD STUFF that only momma's can give. QV was truly an awful mother and person, no one suffered grief like only she could LOL
You are so right...unfortunately being raised without other children and a calculating mother and her "advisor" did not help Victoria be the loving queen her country, husband and children deserved...can you imagine sleeping in the same room as your mom until you become queen??? No privacy, no friends, can't even slide down the staircase bannister!!! Someone had to hold her hand in case she fell. I am not defending her, I am just saying no wonder she was the way she was....she was her mother's and advisors golden egg!!!
@@sonvyaduncan you said that so very right, her father and his brothers had to marry quickly to produce heirs, so she was conceived in an oddball way. Thank you so much for your response ✌️❤️
Victoria had a half brother and half sister from her mother's 1st marriage. The sister grew up with Victoria for a while, though her brother remained in Germany to oversee the family's lands
I always thought a lot of hate came from England against Germany. Until today. Asnd they are the USA whisperers......do it NEVER stops. Describing us ad huns. Neesis......basbykillers....gutteral language.....rough.....you name it....i am old know......i watched that. But they do have USA....that what counts.....they until now dominate I. USA entertainment.....ni shame
In many ways, the daughters are more interesting than the sons. They actually were people and had lives outside of being the wife of “so-and-so”. I just finished watching the video on he deaths of the sons and except for King Edward VII and Leopold (with his hemophilia), the other two are really boring. One had a long career in the Army, the other the same in the Navy. Not much to say about that.
Louisa was not rebellious. She was artistically gifted and , raised in prudery and ignorance, she was seduced by the art tutor. Her questions were a sign of her intelligence. Her mother was jealous of her daughter’s beauty and talent. And Campbell was gay. There is no evidence of more than one lover. She was condemned because of her out of wedlock birth at 18.
Please stop. There was no out of wedlock birth. That's a lie perpetually dragged out and most egregiously by Louise's recent biographer, who was trying to make sales
@@susanmorano405Well said. The crap that’s told and believed is awful. And the pronunciation in this video is dire. Not a Brit narrating that’s for sure.
Yep. With the knowledge we have now, anyone eligible would run a mile. In fact they did when the RF were scrabbling around looking for someone suitable to marry Charles. Poor Diana drew the short straw.🤣
The first part is a maybe Kaiser Frederick I (or whatever he name was) was more liberal and willing to listen to Britain’s demand for parity in ships and talk the Balkans out of war. So maybe. Kaiser Wilhelm II was never going to become King in UK. He had too many people ahead of him and Britain nor Europe would not accept a personal union between UK and Germany.
@@b1crusade384 no .by the system in place now (the eldest child)he would ,Vicky was the eldest child her eldest child was wilhelm the old system was the eldest male no men then eldest girl .but as is know the government would after force the issue but it’s very difficult ie Edwards abdication and forced exile (keep out of the way and out of the press) the same with Harry (his wife won’t shut up so they closed the purse) but a Union of politics then no but remember Australia does not do what the Uk wants neither does Canada or New Zealand there is no Union of politics but there head of state is going to be Charles (unofficial he his it’s just the formality of coronation to come next year) fyi the point I was making how would the Uk feel if the USA again went to war with Canada and the position of the monarchy if the Uk sided with the USA a very difficult question and answer but it would have been the same dilemma for Germany and the Uk or more non partisan the Uk backing Australia against New Zealand or visa versa ???
@dr.eckhardschmidt5039 Victoria's daughters were in the line of succession but came after their brothers and their children that is known as male preference primongeniture as opposed to male only or Salic law
You lost me with the background music. I watched your video about Victoria's sons and found it interesting and informative. But, with this video, I can't listen to it with that background music. Consider re-uploading without that.
Interesting topic and information but unfortunately the narration is disjointed and monotonous and pronunciation of some words is very poor. Disappointing
The year is 2022 and I find so many paralels between Vicky and another Dutchess brought into the family. Vicky was not accepted by her husband's country until the day she died.
But there was a big huge difference Vicky and her husbands hands were literally tied when it came to reform until they became her father in law died and even then her husband ruled for 3 months until he died of cancer
Good grief, can't even comment about a particular duchess in peace! It's psychotic how emotionally invested some of these weirdos are over people who wouldn't even spit on them if their asses were on fire.
Great content but...it would be great if narrators of these videos took the time to learn proper pronunciation of the English language, for heaven's sake. So many mistakes in this one...and I'm not referring to differences between British and American pronunciations.
It makes no difference.. The content is what is important surely? I take it you speak the queen's English? You are just being overly picky, no need for it
Of course they had the right. However, they don't have the right to hurt people who cannot respond (without it becoming: they say, they say). They could have lived a private, classier life, too. They are happy to use the titles if it brings in the funds, it seems! That's NOT the royal way.
Queen Victoria was a very complicated and fascinating woman. Like most people with these characteristics, Victoria was selfish, bossy, rude, conceited and in all truth, simply not a nice person, but quite interesting.
The terrible events you narrate, dont match the music. Its lovely music, but it is important to match the mood of music with the mood of the content. Itt is a bit wierd hearing such happy music while hearing music designed to evoke happiness. It was rather distracting
It surprises me that these women’s education weren’t put as a a priority. It shows their ignorance. How sad. They were at the crest of the world’s influence, and the caretakers squandered it! No excuse for their lack of vision and fortitude !

Thank you!
At 18 months old she (Vicki) was expected to learn French?!
18 months is when children start walking and talking (some earlier, some later). Yes, noble children were raised to be bi- and trilingual.
When you’re little languages are easy. I am proof of that. Ask any one of mixed/ethnic marriages of their families.
Why not, as she was already bilingual in English and German

Wonderful, though epitome was mispronounced. I only point it out because I mispronounced it for a long time and wish someone had corrected me sooner lol!

@@borleyboo5613 also arithmetic, that's the point at which I gave up.
Im glad someone else has said it! I almost stopped listening after arithmetic and epitome.
Dire pronunciation and lots of misinformation.
Alice's daughter, Victoria Of Hesse, survived diphtheria. Her oldest daughter, Alice, was the mother of Prince Philip( husband of Elizabeth II)
Princess Vicky wondered why her son was fretful? She tied his good arm behind his back! She committed child abuse because she was embarrassed about a handicapped child. The horrible things she did, off her own back! Not doctors advice. That child woukd have been traumatised for life!
Indeed. And he grew up to hate her. However, before his birth her in-laws treated her badly. She was desperate to fix him.
Worked my way through it but the voice is very difficult and unpleasant to listen to.
Their portraits made them look attractive. In reality, they were not. Albert was a handsome man, but Victoria was quite homely.
This is a whole bunch of bad news. Yikes.
It was rough to say the least!🤓
Awful. Not exactly how you think of Princesses when you’re a little girl.
Princess is pronounced as one word, not two.
No wonder Wilhelm was so angry with all of that torturing to which he was subjected throughout his entire childhood.
When Queen Victoria was as an only child all attention was on and about her, she had no siblings wasn't taught how to share, so when she became queen she was surrounded by yes people, so she inevitably became a selfish greedy woman that resented her own mother so much, she couldn't bond with her children, was jealous of the affection her husband Albert doted on the children and never could give her kids the GOOD STUFF that only momma's can give.

Music drowns out the voice,disappointed can’t listen to this !
I think princess Alice is that most beautiful of all the daughters. Most of them looks like they are always at the gym nonstop doing biceps.
The pictures don’t go in sequence with the narrating
Victoria was a nightmare of a mother and mother-in-law. So selfish.
Alice's Father came and got her.
I always thought a lot of hate came from England against Germany. Until today. Asnd they are the USA whisperers......do it NEVER stops. Describing us ad huns. Neesis......basbykillers....gutteral language.....rough.....you name it....i am old know......i watched that. But they do have USA....that what counts.....they until now dominate I. USA entertainment.....ni shame
Video 2 hours long, and that’s just the daughters 🤯
In many ways, the daughters are more interesting than the sons. They actually were people and had lives outside of being the wife of “so-and-so”. I just finished watching the video on he deaths of the sons and except for King Edward VII and Leopold (with his hemophilia), the other two are really boring. One had a long career in the Army, the other the same in the Navy. Not much to say about that.
Wonderful video but the background music is irritating. The video would be much better with narration only.
Louisa was not rebellious. She was artistically gifted and , raised in prudery and ignorance, she was seduced by the art tutor. Her questions were a sign of her intelligence. Her mother was jealous of her daughter’s beauty and talent. And Campbell was gay. There is no evidence of more than one lover. She was condemned because of her out of wedlock birth at 18.
Please stop. There was no out of wedlock birth. That's a lie perpetually dragged out and most egregiously by Louise's recent biographer, who was trying to make sales
@@susanmorano405Well said. The crap that’s told and believed is awful. And the pronunciation in this video is dire. Not a Brit narrating that’s for sure.
nice narrative voice and background music
What about the inaccuracies and the pronunciation. This girl isn’t from the UK.
The eleven year old child and adult man were getting on brilliantly......good grief
Princess Victoria was most beautiful ❤
Chrone s disease? First time I heard of it.
Its a real disease.
Really? It’s quite common worldwide.
Its spelled Crohn's.
Wow these royals are something else!!!
Yep. With the knowledge we have now, anyone eligible would run a mile. In fact they did when the RF were scrabbling around looking for someone suitable to marry Charles. Poor Diana drew the short straw.🤣
Queen Victoria childhood
The narrator voice is so soothing! This is my third time watching cuz I keep falling asleep 😅
Haha I think this is a compliment 😄
Hope you enjoy!
@@PastPeople thanku!!! Awwww yeah totally I sleep like the dream!
100% agree 2nd time. Relaxing and educational
Fun fact if Vicky had ascended to the throne we wouldn't have had WW1 and WW2 because kaiser bill would have been king of the uk
The first part is a maybe Kaiser Frederick I (or whatever he name was) was more liberal and willing to listen to Britain’s demand for parity in ships and talk the Balkans out of war. So maybe. Kaiser Wilhelm II was never going to become King in UK. He had too many people ahead of him and Britain nor Europe would not accept a personal union between UK and Germany.
@@b1crusade384 no .by the system in place now (the eldest child)he would ,Vicky was the eldest child her eldest child was wilhelm the old system was the eldest male no men then eldest girl .but as is know the government would after force the issue but it’s very difficult ie Edwards abdication and forced exile (keep out of the way and out of the press) the same with Harry (his wife won’t shut up so they closed the purse) but a Union of politics then no but remember Australia does not do what the Uk wants neither does Canada or New Zealand there is no Union of politics but there head of state is going to be Charles (unofficial he his it’s just the formality of coronation to come next year) fyi the point I was making how would the Uk feel if the USA again went to war with Canada and the position of the monarchy if the Uk sided with the USA a very difficult question and answer but it would have been the same dilemma for Germany and the Uk or more non partisan the Uk backing Australia against New Zealand or visa versa ???
@@redrb26dett Sorry, that's incorrect. The male primogeniture was in place at that time, so only her brothers were heir to the throne.
@dr.eckhardschmidt5039 Victoria's daughters were in the line of succession but came after their brothers and their children that is known as male preference primongeniture as opposed to male only or Salic law
That’s not a fact.
Being addicted to opium doesn’t help with healthy pregnancies and babies.😫
Everything fits perfectly…
You lost me with the background music. I watched your video about Victoria's sons and found it interesting and informative. But, with this video, I can't listen to it with that background music. Consider re-uploading without that.
poor sound
Do not every one to happy from photo
eh-pit-oh-mee
And Wilhelm. And Friedrich!
Oh dear!
Its an amazing video❤ don't read those comments
Mixing and mingling…
Changes nine…
Probably better to research how words are pronounced, like arithmetic and epitome.
🐭🔑
Interesting topic and information but unfortunately the narration is disjointed and monotonous and pronunciation of some words is very poor. Disappointing
There is no such thing as a Russian Arch Duchess..
Yeah really. Grand Duchess would be appropriate.
Good grief, so many errors.
The year is 2022 and I find so many paralels between Vicky and another Dutchess brought into the family. Vicky was not accepted by her husband's country until the day she died.
But there was a big huge difference
Vicky and her husbands hands were literally tied when it came to reform until they became her father in law died and even then her husband ruled for 3 months until he died of cancer
That duchess is entirely responsible for how she is being received .
Good grief, can't even comment about a particular duchess in peace! It's psychotic how emotionally invested some of these weirdos are over people who wouldn't even spit on them if their asses were on fire.
@@angiewoodward4166 so was Vicky, how about that?
I hope you are not alluding to the Sussex person. That would be a terrible comparison to Lovely Vicke
That's ROYAL Not VOIAL!! So Many Words Mis-Pronounced!!
Her poor children
Great content but...it would be great if narrators of these videos took the time to learn proper pronunciation of the English language, for heaven's sake. So many mistakes in this one...and I'm not referring to differences between British and American pronunciations.
I agree , it detracted from an otherwise informative presentation ,
It makes no difference.. The content is what is important surely?
I take it you speak the queen's English?
You are just being overly picky, no need for it
The errors were errors in American English, too.
Even Wilheim was mispronounced. In English and in German.
And lamented, and sibling
After listening to the history of this family Harry and Meghan had a right to move out and move on with their life out of the mess.
They did have that right. If only they had really moved on. I do believe that Harry wanted out. But, his wife and he have trashed the RF, non-stop.
@@kayhathaway6956 as she should, she was treated bad
Of course they had the right. However, they don't have the right to hurt people who cannot respond (without it becoming: they say, they say). They could have lived a private, classier life, too. They are happy to use the titles if it brings in the funds, it seems! That's NOT the royal way.
Couldn't agree more
Queen Victoria was a very complicated and fascinating woman. Like most people with these characteristics, Victoria was selfish, bossy, rude, conceited and in all truth, simply not a nice person, but quite interesting.
Frederick the Great was Gay
So..?
💘💘💘...........👍👧👍🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Really good story really annoying voice
What is ‘arith meh tic? Goodness me, your pronunciation of certain words is execrable. Epitome is pronounced ‘epitomee’.
ANNOYING NARRATIVE VOICE..
Just could not get through this video because of all the grating mispronunciations. What a shame.
The narrator’s voice is sooo annoying that makes difficult to stay focused
Thank you, glad you enjoyed 🙂
Her voice is okay, I think it’s pretty nice actually but that being said, she does needs to practice her narrative skills a tad ;)
@@PastPeople is this sarcasm 😁😁 hope so.... I happen to think your narration is great. Keep up the good work
@@carmenismyname I can imagine it's not easy doing narration, and to be perfect impossible.
@@lporquai9048 hehe 😉 thank you for your support!
The terrible events you narrate, dont match the music. Its lovely music, but it is important to match the mood of music with the mood of the content. Itt is a bit wierd hearing such happy music while hearing music designed to evoke happiness. It was rather distracting
It surprises me that these women’s education weren’t put as a a priority. It shows their ignorance. How sad. They were at the crest of the world’s influence, and the caretakers squandered it! No excuse for their lack of vision and fortitude !
Don’t be disingenuous. You know perfectly well that education wasn’t always a priority for daughters anywhere.
