- Uncover the scandal of Princess Viktoria of Prussia marrying Alexander Anatolievitch Zoubkoff 35 years younger in this intriguing video. Princess Viktoria of Prussia (1866-1929), the second daughter of Frederick III, German Emperor, and Victoria, Princess Royal of the UK, was raised in a liberal, Anglophile environment. Despite her royal status, her personal life was marked by romantic disappointments. Initially in love with Alexander of Battenberg, political objections prevented their marriage. She later married Prince Adolf of Schaumburg-Lippe and, after his death, caused a scandal by marrying a much younger Russian refugee. Viktoria's life reflected the complexities and challenges of European nobility during a time of significant change.

What a sad story. It shows you can have riches and titles but it doesn’t guarantee happiness. Great video as always, Jon!
It's a powerful reminder that true happiness comes from within. Thank you Trish
I found your video to be quit accurate. Times were very harsh then and Victoria suffered greatly loss of her children 😢 😞 💔 Thank you 😊
Loneliness is more than enough for 2 people to have in common. However, its a shame he showed himself unworthy of her love,gifts,and lifestyle.
This whole generation had their world turned upside down. Thanks for the video.
It's was a challenging time for sure, glad the video resonated with you. Thanks Liam
The majority of Queen Victoria's grandchildren had unhappy lives.
It's interesting to see how the personal lives of historical figures can have such an impact on future generations.
My heart goes out to this princess 😔
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt sentiment!
Wonderful video! Fascinating story. Thank you! ❤❤❤
Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to me that you appreciate the content.
Another great video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your support!
Well done! Thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Indomitable spirit? As portrayed, she sounds fragile, emotionally dysregulated and abandoned by family. She was vulnerable and her family did not stop the emotional exploitation around her. That's a very sad story.
It means a person who never gave up, no matter what the obstacles were. Thank you for watching
Another beautiful video, Jon. Thank you for sharing her story.
Thanks for watching! It's always great to hear positive feedback on the videos.
I read her memoir. The memoir is moderately interesting, but the last chapter, about her meeting with & love for Zoubkov is heartbreaking. She must have thought he was Alexander of Battenberg reincarnated (I think).
Another great episode. I love this channel.
Your support means the world to me. Thank you Mary Ann for tuning in and loving the channel!
Wow! One can see so much of Queen Elizabeth II in her face!
What a sad life she had
Thank you Ali for watching and reflecting on her story.
What a sad life. Seems that Queen Victoria's children and grands had many issues of their own to deal with.
It's true, the royal family had their fair share of challenges.
Golly, I feel so sorry for her! This just proves that money and status don't buy happiness!😢😢 Thanks Jon! ❤
Exactly Theresa, it's a strange story. This is definitely richs to rags! Thank you 😊
Quick answer: money?
Crown shouldn't show emotion lol that's all we seen since her Majesty past over
Because she can.
I would have sympathy for her families’ interference and control of her love life except that was overshadowed by who and what her brother was. Their parents are a good study on the importance of paying attention to your children. Psycho Willie was tortured and unloved as a child.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this complex family dynamic.
