- Some are born to rule-others go kicking and screaming. For Maud of Wales, there is little in-between. Known as being a bit of a “reluctant royal," she had a unique relationship with the throne. A shroud of mystery seemed to surround Maud, transforming her into an object of fascination.

To save everyone time, what she did was she lit a cigarette in public at a time when ladies did not smoke in public.… That’s it, there ya go….You’re welcome
😮 ty 😂
Thank you! Now I won’t waste my time finishing the video. The shame!
@@juliatrotter9659 It is too bad that the clickbait said what it did. Its an interesting life story, but it was a total let down ( I expected something more shocking, I suppose) when it was revealed AFTER the woman had died at the very end of the video....sheesh...
Thanks
You are a hero. Thanks for saving me time! ❤
"Veel" pronunciation for veil makes me think of inane AI narration.
Yeah, why can't you read better than a fifth grader.
Vaze vasevause
Maybe she was wearing a chop.
Queen Maud's mother was Also a Queen. Not Princess Alexandra. Queen Alexandra. Of Great Britain.
Can we just take a moment to freak out about the corseting. Riding a bike and a horse with a wasp waisted corset. Lordy mercy!
Please also note that Sandringham is pronounced with a silent h it is not pronounced as if it is the most important letter in the word.
Thats AI, so annoying
@@valeriewithey1664 but most Americans do pronounce the "ham" at the end of a word. Hear them pronounce "Buckingham Palace"
It was unheard of for 34 year old women to be pregnant in 1903? What nonsense.
😮
2Timothy 3:1-5
It may have been unheard because they all died in childbirth in their 20s😟
@@ILoveEndlessMike except for the women with a dozen kids that lived into their 90s.
@@noorgonzalez1076 And what does this list of qualities and attitudes of ppl during the time of the end have to do with when a woman becomes pregnant?
Maybe it was unheard of for a first pregnancy
Don't waste your time! She lit a cigarette.
OMG I feel a bit faint
Bless you.
It's ascent to the throne, not *ascension. Really!
@@weddie24 the devil is in the detail
I'm wondering if the rumours are true and that her ladies-in-waiting were referred to as 'The Maude Squad'.
😆 🤣 😂 😹
🤣🤣
🤦
I’m still waiting to see what Maud did in front of the servants?
she lit a cigarette
Oh no....! Not watching anymore..
Thanks for the warning 🙏🏻
England is 2 syllables, not 3
Lol, you sure ?
"Eng-e-land swings like a pendulum do.
Bobbies on bicycles two by two.
Westminster Abbey, the tower of Big Ben.
The rosy red cheeks of the little children "
That dates me!
@lindahughes2289 100%, born, bred and still live here. I'm 45, it's pronounced ing-glund not ing-ger-lund
England is part of the U.K., NOT VICE VERSA.
When you mentioned the Grand Duke of Hesse, you showed a picture of Maud's uncle, who was not the one interested in Maud. Ick.
I gave up at "more or this later" meaning " I am going to make you waste your time as much as possible because I've nothing useful to say.
lol
@@oliviastar3812😂
Ok, how about "Maud died'? Cuts right to the end of the story without wasting a bit of your valuable time.
Please pronounce the word veil as vale and not veel. it's infuriating when this happens.
It's a bot narrating.
@@ferociousgumbyAI.
I had to pause and run here when I heard that! A lace veal? 🐑 I can’t take it!
It’s infuriating and I just can’t take it!!
Not what I expected at the end, but was a very interesting story of her life. Please keep adding these stories.
As a Norwegian I must say that I am shocked, offended and angry at the slur "suggested" by the narrator here about the origins of our much loved and dearly departed King Olav (prince Alexander at the time of his birth). Maud was very much loved here, although she was a bit reticent. Norway should sue you for slander and defamation!
YES INDEED KING OLAF REALLY WAS A GREAT WONDERFUL KING LOVED HIS PEOPLE VERY MUCH AS INDEED QUEEN MAUD . AT FIRST A LITTE NERVOUSE Ii THINK RATHER THAN RETICENT, SHE GAVE OF HERSELF TO HER HUSBABD THE KING, AND TO THE PEOPLE OF NORWAY AND BOTH WERE LOVED RESPECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF NORWAY .
MAUD WAS AFTER ALL THE DAUGHTER OF OUR MOST BELOVED QUEEN, THE PRINCESS ,ALEXANDRA OF DENMARK MARRIED TO KING EDWARD WHO ALTHOUGH DOTED TO HER DID NOT TREAT HER FAIRLY AT ALL, WITH HIS MANY AFFAIRS .
QUEEN ALEXANDRA IN MY OPINION WAS ONE OF THE FINEST MOST MAGNIFICENTLY BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS AND QUEEN EVER, AND WAS A DILIGENT WONDERFUL MOTHER TO ALL OF HER CHILDREN WHOM SHE LOVED DEARLY,
I HAVE READ SO MUCH ABOUT HER AND ALWAYS SHE IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE ROYAL PRINCESS AND QUEEN, AND CERTAINLY THE MOST DIGNIFIED ELEGANT QUEEN EVER
MAY GOD BLESS YOUR PURE BEAUTIFUL SOUL DEAREST QUEEN ALEXANDRA
The AI pronunciation often detract from the quality of the story. There’s even one where the subject of the video was confusing because it took 5 minutes to figure out who the heck they were talking about
I don’t think it’s an AI, it’s a real girl reading, but she definitely needs training in pronunciation and diction.
As she is doing it now she sounds like a high schooler without much experience of reading aloud.
And she makes some pronunciation errors, too. She’s not bad, just needs polishing!💎
For a comparison, listen to a piece about Wallis Simpson’s alleged CAIS syndrome - it’s AI read with strange intonation and breaks in strange places.
Again, pronunciation and elocution is key for a narrator. Many young ppl in their 20’s and 30’s often slur their words - I believe in an effort to sound intelligent, cool or whatever. I had to go over the words “lighting a cigarette” several times, finally with earphones at full volume to hear what I’d been waiting to hear all along! Ridiculous! Forget the faux feminine, whispy voice. We don’t need you to sound “cute”, we need to understand what you’re saying - PERIOD.
I think the whisper you are referring to is known as voice fry. Very elite in America, desperate housewives language. Every sentence ends in a downward dying croak of nothingness
@@JemNagel it’s the “up talk” of the previous generation, whereby one completed a thought or sentence by gradually elevating ones voice to higher note and ending the sentence with a semi question. Like this: queen Maud had an entire area of Antarctica named after her, but it wasn’t mentioned in this video (?).
The AI was doing nicely until Maude married with a lace 'veal' on her head. Was it also breaded? Was that the shocking thing she did?
And was that veal the inspiration for Lady Gaga's raw meat dress a few years back? 😂I think that AI will replace people - by tormenting them to death!
Good video essay, the photos & video clips are an extra gift. The Baltic countries have really harsh winters. Can't fault Maud for going to the UK whenever she got a chance. Thanks~♡☆
Norway is NOT a Baltic country!!
Since these women and men are all first cousins, it is hard to tell which princess is which ( or queen), and which prince is marrying whom. They all have the same face and long nose.
Whenever I happen to watch one of these time wasters they pronounce most last names and a myriad of fairly easy to pronounce words.
You mean mispronounce Einstein?
Interesting info. Didn't even know she existed.
If you consider Queen Victoria started a new line of royalty, her progeny really multiplied.
The bit about her getting pregnant possibly with the help of an English doctor is very interesting.
Didn't know women of era wore meat over there faces🤔
This was a very interesting video about a royal about whom we here in the U.S. virtually never learn. Maud was certainly a colorful, strong woman. I enjoyed this video.
I was interested in this subject but unfortunately the shocking fact was that she lit a cigarette. The music is too loud and the narrator’s voice sounds muffled. I will unsubscribe.
Me too.
The good outweighs the bad.
Me too
She said thank you to the help
shocking !
More interested about her only pregnancy 🤔
Me too. They had artificial insemination in those days?
A lot of surly snark in the comments. Thanks for the vid.
Is Princess Beatrice related to these people because she really looks like mauds father
Of course Beatrice is related. Maud's father was Beatrice's great great great grandfather.
They are all related even now! Inbred really.
very good ... great stuff. interesting , very!!!
Her name was Maud. It is coming up on the sub-titles as Ma.
Well I couldn't find the shocking event referenced in the title. Clickbait title?
It was the lighting of the cigarette in public.
Yeah, the narrator garbled it so badly I had to go over it 6 or 7 times around 18:57. When I figured it out (see my main content reply), it was anticlimactic. Clickbait.
@@MsMarpleSorry it didn't throw you off your chair, but for a woman to light a cigarette back then was unheard of, and for a royal to do so was shocking!@MsMarple
The true English gentry are listening. Be careful with how you treat the language. The story line was still worthwhile. (For myself and others)
I so enjoyed this , thanks you 😊
They need someone who can talk.
Too bad narrator can't pronounce veil. It's not *veal. Where do you get these voice overs from?
I was surprised when I found out Queen Mary of Teck fagged it out.
Get a grip use lot on the moaning with the narrator if you dont like what use are seeing or hearing go to another channel or switch off 🤨
Easy for you to say. I can see why poor pronunciation wouldn’t bother you. 🙄
Hear hear.
I have to agree with you Angie, everyone has a choice.
I found this very interesting. I want to learn all I can about British Royalty
Just appreciate the visuals of these people. Turn off your sound!
Love the video ❤❤❤❤❤
Man, click bait again!!!
If you don’t know how to correctly pronounce words then don’t do a narration
"Veil" or "Veel" Who cares? Its an AI voice. We all know what she means.
Thank you
I do wish Americans would speak correctly. It's not Bucking-Ham as in the pork meat product, it's Buckin-um. Also it's not shire, it's shur
Good video, but hey, your pronunciation of Norwegian names was atrocious :D
Very informative video to know about the less know European royals
Were they part black with that hair ? Just wondering .
Oh, now I want to see DNA results for the current King. Is there paternal Danish DNA passed down from dad or is it from a certain English Dr.'s son?
click bait! this title has nothing to do with the story.
Very interesting 😊
So Dawson was the attending? He has form for bumping off royals, and anyone else he deemed unfit. Shipman was taking notes I guess.
Some of those waistlines were unreal. Not really helping with ongoing fertility I suspect.
Look at most of the ladies and girls faces, most especially the Eyes and chins, you can see the Daughter,s of Prince Randy Andy, such a shame to have these peculiar facial features from long gone Queen Victoria,s rather plain facial attributes. Both these daughters of Andrew and Firgie , don't realise that most of their Best Clothes are, actually Ugly, too much flowery material and ugly designs (Since they both got married there is an improvement in their styles of dress, maybe due to seeing their quite handsome Husbands eyeing up the more, prettier dressed young ladies, and seeing that their wives, clothing leaves not much to be desired, bless them).
I also, or, is it my failing eyesight,look like they both have had skillful Cosmetic facial Surgeries, one has had her chin , narrowed, and, looks truly attractive, the other sister seems to have her poppy out large eyes ,less so, and, her face in general looks so prettier. I have noticed, that both have a lot more confidence when im the Limelight, Bless.😊😊
This is my opinion, because, whatever has happened, is definitely for the better, and, so far, they have really good marriages, and look very much in love with their other halves.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maude was my 11th great grandniece of husband of 2nd cousin 15 times removed
Too long, can’t watch whole video. What was the issue??
Wrong narrator, where is the o r with the Scottish accent?
Oh pls - last thing we need is to go from a cutesy American teen voice to a thick Scottish accent. 🙄
@@MsMarpleBelieve me when I say that the Scottish gentleman is the real asset for this channel. No one else comes close to his careful and intelligent narration.
The young people that they use here to narrate seem incapable of doing any research to better pronounce or understand the words used for these stories.
I thought you guys were leaving?? That's you Marple & Ferocious. I see you need several last words ha!
Uh, the films show her talking in public 🤔
Thanks that was nice❤
"an obnoxious amount of gambling debt" At best this is weak writing.
This vid has terrible reviews.
And rightly so.
YIKES!😮
Interesting documentary, thanks. A lot of the royals from Queen Victoria's bloodline had/have very Semitic looks, including this Queen Maud. This never seems to be formally explored or acknowledged. Is it known where those (apparently Jewish) genes came from?
AI narration. Horrible!
Euthanasia was available in the case of pain ridden disease so long as you were highly privileged.
"veels " ????
Horribly homely girls lol
This family was rather plain for royalty. Small eyes, thin long faces. Nothing like the Russian cousins. They all had decent hair though.. I just wonder, when did the genetics fall apart? When I first saw a pic of a young prince Charles..his ears were enormous! And he had the worst mouth full of teeth- going every which way.
They really needed to stop marrying first cousins (and probably half siblings) back then😂
stop talking nonsense.
@@glen7318 at least my comment is unique. Everyone else jumped on the Veal bandwagon.🤣
Yep, funny looking
IT WAS NOT THAT THEY WERE PLAIN IT WAS THE FACT THAT rOYAL LADIES NEVER EVER WERE ALLOWED TO OVER EAT STRICT DIETS DID YOU NOTICE THEIR WASP LIKE WAISTS PLUS THEIR HAIR WAS CRURLED WITH RAGS OR CURLING IRONS SO HAIR ALWAYS WORN PUT UP NEVER OVER THE FACE WHICH GIVES AN EXPESSION OF HAVING SLIM FACES
LOOK FOR A PICTURE OF THE MOST MAGNIFICENT0 QUEEN ALEXANDRA ON HER WEDDING DAY HER BEAUTY WAS LEGENDARY
Narration is terrible!!
Can't understand what most of this narrator is saying because she is gabbling like a silly school girl!
The voice telling the story has voice fry. With annoying consistency, every sentence ends in a downward note, to the point where the last word cannot be understood because it is nothing more than a dying croak .
Bad reading and bad writing
My goodness! She looks exactly like Princess Diana!
A I rubbish again don’t waste your time
I can't get past the terrible American voice. Maud is Mod ?
If you don’t know how to correctly pronounce words then don’t do a narration
THANK YOU!
