Discovering Mary of Teck's Ancestry

[@sirwelch9991]

It's very important to remember that her distinguished heritage helped inspire her to become the great matriarch she was. May she rest in peace!

I don't want to rubbish Queen Mary, but I do recall my grandmother on my maternial side telling me that she was not a good mother and George V was a very strict and inpersonal dad, with both Edward VII and George VI experiencing a number of psych health issues.
Good video though. Very interesting. Thank you. 9:05 😊

Can you do Royals who were at the throne or once at the throne today who are double descendants of Victoria or Christian XI or both
Here is my list:
King Charles III of the UK (through his mother Elizabeth II father's paternal grandparents and through his
father's parents)
Felipe of Spain (through his father's paternal grandparents and through his mother's parents, especially Queen Victoria as he was the ancestor of Queen Sophia of Spain both Maternal and Paternal)
King Constantine of Greece (through his father and mother
King Carl Gustav is a double descendant of Queen Victoria (through his father's parents and through his mother's parents)
King Harald of Norway is a double descendant of Christian XI (through his father and mother)

Prince of Orange, surely, rather than King of Orange (with reference to Henriette of Nassau-Weilburg). There were never any Kings of Orange, that was originally a Ghibelline jab by Frederick Barbarossa, and the title passed through several families to William of Nassau, famous in history as William the Silent. The current status of the title is well-known, and it is shared by three families, two royal (Nassau and Hohenzollern) and one noble.

5:18 Henriette was not the granddaughter of the king of Orange. There was no kingdom of Orange in the 18th century. She was the granddaughter of Willem IV, Prince of Orange-Nassau who was married to Princess Anna of Hannover, daughter of King George II.

I have always suspected that the royal british * family was related to Dracula.

[@PSciDoc]

King Charles III acknowledges the connection and owns property in Transylvania.

Wow. King Charles resembles his great great grandpa, Francis of Teck.
