    One thing about Rita’s story that I’ve always admired is despite being divorced from Orson and Ali they still came to her defense when her abusive 4th (?) husband left her kids in the care of someone who neglected them without her knowing and the court wanted to take them from her. You know your a wonderful mom if even your ex husbands come to your defense to say “she is a wonderful woman and would never harm our child” which says a lot about the her character and both their characters despite them not being faithful to her

      Yep, Lindsay mentioned it towards the end, but it goes to show how Ali and Orson still had a form of respect towards Rita not only as the mother of their children, but as a person

    • @TawnyC_
      @TawnyC_ Před rokem +6

      If the court took the children from Rita, they would go to the fathers to raise. Maybe the fathers would rather she got them back, than having to raise the children themselves.

      I know a couple that divorced years ago, yet still stay together half of the time and vacation together to provide a stable home life for their two kids. People who knew them prior were surprised they “split” as they seemed so perfect and they replied they had an agreement never to argue or even contradict each other in front of others especially their children. I highly respect that, and wish more parents followed their example.

    Off topic, but whenever I think of Edward VII, I think about those vacant blue eyes from his portrait (and the fact that the specific shade and physical appearance) came from Queen Victoria. For a good point in time, it seemed like all of her grandchildren looked almost like carbon copies of her including the eyes (especially Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine & Princess Alice) 😂

      Edward IV lost his kingdom because of love/lust but he won it back because he wasn't useless like Edward II
      Edward V and me didn't live long enough but I can speak for myself, I would totally enjoy some of the benefits of being royal
      Edward VII is Edward VII, no justifications required

      I personally am not interested. It’s sensationalism and barely happened long enough ago to be called “history”. There’s no way a large portion of the video wouldn’t be speculation as the royal family will not comment anything meaningful about it. The facts we learn from Lindsay’s videos are sometimes not revealed until years/the generation after the event.

    Americans are extremely bad for our (british) royal family. Princess Grace was a very good princess of monaco but if she had married into the BRITISH Royal family i think it would have been a different story. I stuck up for meghan markle when my late sister expressed her doubts but my sister turned out to be right and i was wrong. I do hope that any future royals who are thinking of marrying americans will either think again or leave the royal family, without all the rubbish that meghan and harry are putting us through. I really cannot imagine why the media is insisting on pestering us with them.
