The HORRIFIC Death Of Queen Victoria
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 тра 2024
- Inside her bedchamber in Osborne House, her favourite residence, on the 22nd January 1901 at the age of 81, Queen Victoria was gravely ill. She was a Queen who had been on the throne for a huge amount of time, and the impending death of Victoria was a big problem for the nation that she had reigned over. It was such a long time since a monarch had died that the precedent and ettiequte of a state funeral had also died out, and not one person in the country had any experience in dealing with this sort of event. But inside of her bedroom, the Queen who had ruled for 63 years was slipping away surrounded by her family. She was a woman who was not very well, and she was also a Queen who had suffered with depression and great grief and upset for years following the death of her husband Prince Albert. But what happened in Queen Victoria’s final moments?
I really don’t find dying in your favorite house, surrounded by your children and grandchildren horrific.
Sounds ideal to me.
Dying in a gutter, homeless, or trapped underneath a collapsed building or in a hospice with a painfully long illness……that is horrific !
I agree with you.
Yes but that’s even more reason to fear death leaving one’s beloved family
Death isn’t good
It's horrible being old
There are truly "horrific" ways to die and this is not one of them.
I thought the same thing, but thinking more about it…. Maybe it was horrific for everyone else considering they didn’t know how to rule without her. No one knew how to handle it. Everyone was in denial about her sickness.
Being skinned alive is not very nice.
The truly horrific experience was what she had to endure before with so many younger close relatives passing before her in close succession. Her own death sounds rather pleasant as such things go, with family around in a beloved home.
Even Wilhelm II got to be around.
@@DrBovdin 6 family members in 12 years for me. Not fun.
@@devilsfavorite999 That is tough. You have my sympathies. Wish you all the best.
If I may, please don't use clickbait titles. You do good work, and the exaggerated titles just cheapen it.
I agree.
Yip. I got slightly intrigued by the word "horrific" because I hadn't heard of her having a horrific death before. Won't be dragged in again.
My first thought too. And last one, after watching it.
You are absolutely correct!
agreed
It wasn't an horrific death!! She suffered heartache of losing 3 adult children & a grandchild, that part is horrific for any body to have to deal with.. She lived a long life, she died at home surrounded by her loved ones. That's how all of us would like to end our days.
And her husband.
It's horrific when you die and yet no one beside you because everybody hates you and they get nothing from you .
That’s what most people want it’s not horrible she was with her family and died in her own home. 😊 She had losses but at that age she had seen many losses her whole life. She knew that she was going and she was where she wanted to be.😊
One of her family may be the German Kaiser observed she's going down quietly like a great three decker battleship
I prefer to die alone.
Nothing horrific about this normal elderly death. A relatively peaceful death and so good to have her family there.
Old woman dies peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family. Absolutely HORRIFIC. My dear, you need to stop this baiting. P.S. I will no longer watch another of your videos.
I clicked "Do not recommend this channel"
Well… bye
@@minavaanhere here.
Please stop calling this series 'the horrific death of..' its cheap clickbait, its disingenuous, if you have to have spectacular headlines to get people to watch, then you havent got an interesting story!
I’ve enjoyed this channel greatly for the past year, but five consecutive episode titles with HORRIFIC seems hyperbolic and all for clicks. As much as I like a dark tale, I hope this isn’t turning into “Her HORRIFIC History.” Also hope UA-cam hasn’t forced it to come to this to sustain or grow viewership. Your content has been very good, and stands on it’s own merits.
Also, she made 2 different videos of basically the same thing. One of QV's HORRIBLE death, and the next of her DISASTROUS funeral. Seems like the funeral was covered in this.
Not to mention she did another video on the death and funeral a year ago.
Maybe she's running out of content???
I was about to say the same thing. Horrific is not what comes to mind after reigning 61 years as the monarch and dying in one of your grand homes. Horrific is more like being dragged behind a horse during the Trooping of The Colour.
I agree. Stop saying Horrific!!
@@drewnealski969oh no another one. DISASTROAS
Oops. There should have been a u where the a is. My spell check isnt working. That use to be such an easy app.
P
I am a bit confused... how is dieing in your favorite house with your family around you, horrific? Sounds like it was pretty ideal, as death's go. Was her family so bad that that is what made it horrific? I guess it is just click bate.
I agree !!
@@soniapinkney1342 Click bait. This channel uses the word "Horrific" in so many video titles for shock value, in all caps, too!
historybuff, it is!!!
All the people in Ireland and around Europe that died in the potato famine would probably have swapped places with her. Getting evicted from the hovels they had to live in and watch your children starve to death, while also starving yourself and homeless. She was more comfortable in death than most of her subjects were in their lives.
@@gerrybailey447 That's very well said. She was more comfortable in death than most of her subjects were in their lives. Their lives were so pitiful, they're better off dead. That old fat, selfish b*tch will have to give an accounting to God of how she spent her vast fortunes.
I was brought up in an English school, with the royal religion forced upon me (even though I would never change that). Queen Victoria I've always learned was ill. But I can tell you a few horrific deathes out my own family of young people gone to soon. Please don't feel sorry for her death. Feel sorry for her childhood
The royal religion? No love, you were taught British history in Britain and you were free to form your own opinions.
Well said Scott! She was wrecked in childhood and likely suffocating around Albert. Being with him must have been liberating. She stopped herself from finding happiness.
What's Royal Religion ? No such thing exists nor was it ever taught in school. You're hallucinating!
Another ridiculous and misleading title. Queen Victoria died peacefully in her old age. She was comfortable and had her family and those close to her at her side, nothing "horrific" about it.
With that title you would think she was stabbed to death in her bed. Still waiting for more information on what was so horrific about her death.
WHY HORRIFIC????????
Hello 👋 lornain...
Maybe all the deaths of family members etc was indeed horrific to her mental and physical health! 😊
Hardly horrific
Agreed, not horrific, how silly
For being such an unkind person from what ive read, she was very lucky her fam was around her at end. Plenty of nice people have nobody
In my opinion, the Victorians were rather melodramatic or lived in denial. Unlike today, Victoria had reigned for 64 yrs. It's likely that until the House of Commons and the House of Lords would have had to be consulted to even know what the procedures were for the protocol to plan a State Funeral. I suspect the family's reaction to her death and the chaos of figuring out a State Funeral was rather horrific. I personally would find it horrific if I were ill, blind, confused and had been lonely for years had a horde of relatives crying, sobbing, wringing their hands and talking about me as though they had no idea what to do about a funeral should I actually die, would be quite horrific.
At the time of Victoria's death, there had not been a State Funeral of a Sovereign since William IV. No one even knew what the procedure was for a coronation.
Surprised that no one thought to look in the past records.
i have read a lot about her how she was mean to her kids
None of this is horrific
WTH
living to 81 in a life of luxury and pampered beyond belief is really hard and horrific. i dont know what is really horrific to you
8:20 Imagine the look on the Undertaker's face when the Royals asked him "Where's the coffin?" lol. Not horrific, just a lot of grieving family members coping with the death of an elderly relative. We all go through it. They just happened to go through it with nice mansions / palaces, fancy clothes, jewels, underpaid servants, no financial worries, yadda yadda yadda.
As many have already Commented, her death was hardly horrific. She was remarkably old for that time, died in her home, and with family around her. From all I’ve heard about QV, she was not a particularly “nice” person. She was very cruel to her children, and ridiculed and dismissed her husband Albert’s chronic health issues. Today Albert’s symptoms would likely lead to a diagnosis of Crohn’s Disease, a very painful and debilitating disease. IMO, I believe the most remarkable things about her were the length of her reign, the number of children she had, and the way in which her children were used, as is so common among royalty, to marry into other European royal families for political alignments and to spread that royal blood of hers around; you know, the blood that carried hemophilia and all that entailed regarding the Russian revolution.
She wrote about having too many kids; and maybe she was tired of morning sicknesses and pregnant. She loved Albert, but god nine children
It was well known that she could be a tyrant and was not the best mother to her children.
@@EMarie-pe2ds She enjoyed sex, but not the end result of being pregnant or a child being born. She refused to breast feed any of her children or be around them but for brief moments until they were practically adults. She used "Wet Nurses" for all her kids, basically a female slave who had just given birth to her own child, but is ordered by the Queen to come feed her child first.
Kind of like we do cows nowadays... we impregnate them and then take their milk for human babies and give powdered milk to their female calf. The male calf is of no use other than to take to slaughterhouse for veal.
Keep in mind it was a different time, especially for the upper class. People were relatively cheap, so servants were common. Royal kids were often kept distant from their parents, in the care of governesses, tutors, and didn't go to a school or college. By the time of Victoria's kids, marrying for politics wasn't that big of a deal, but you still had to marry among Europe's royalty. Kaiser Wilhelm and Tzar Nicholas were nephews of the Queen. Victoria I believe was from the house of Hanover (or maybe I am thinking of George). Lot of German cadet branches. It's actually the opposite, they don't want commoners to be elevated to royalty, splitting kingdoms and estates. There were a few Morgantic marriages because of that (no titles for the kids, the line escheats back to the crown).
Cousins marrying long enough cause problems. They didn't quite make it to the Hapsburg level in Spain while Charles VIII.
Well done video, but the title is misleading. I wouldn't call her death "horrific" by any sense of the word. She died of old-age, surrounded by her family, in her favorite home.
I agree. She was the most selfish queen. Yep she was in the workhouse. A really crap queen . Shaggin Albert letting her country starve. Disgusting.
The Boer Wars (please note plural) were not fought between Britain and Africa, Africa is a continent of many different countries. The Boer Wars were between the UK and the Dutch speaking Cape Colonists.
you have a habit of using the word very IRRESPONSIBLE> she had one of the best death possible, in ur house, infant of every one she loved!
No wonder Queen Elizabeth planned her funeral way ahead of time. What a bunch of fawning nicompoops her relatives were to not even accept the poor woman was dying. She must have been relieved to be laid to rest beside her true love, Albert and get her privacy back after all that.
Yet buried with the ring of her later secret love /"husband," Scotsman John Brown.
@@JudgeJulieLitJohn Brown fue un sirviente y nada más, y así lo trato.
The most horrific thing is that the Royal Undertaker forgot the coffin.
The horrific part is that she lived through so many deaths of her family members.
She was a murderer.
@@michaelwhisman She was not. She was a Queen. Any head of state has to contend with War. Does not make her a murderer.
But at her age, this is part of the path of life. Once a person has reached 80 or 90 years, s/he will have most likely outlived their peer group. That is just a natural fact of life & living.
@@ThomasOutt- she was a very emotional person. I'm sure her word would have been "horrific death" by the standards she was accustomed to.
I knew someone who died when her car was hit head on and then rolled down a hill. That was a closed casket funeral. I knew someone who drowned when the commercial fishing boat he was on was caught in a storm, began to sink and he was trapped inside the cabin. He was only 13 years old. My friends husband died in a freak avalanche. All these incidents are good examples of horrific.
How sad that we readers are having to serve as mentors to the robot who posted this.
"A huge amount of soldiers" or "a huge number of soldiers"? What did the soldiers weigh?!!
The Anglo-Boer war wasn’t against “Africa” …..it was against two independent republics of SOUTH Africa who had great mineral recourses!
Indeed. The horrific deaths and suffering of the women and children in British concentration camps is newsworthy.
Dalk die VADER wat haar gestraf het vir wat sy aan sy volk gepleeg het
Wrong to use that word, as I'm sure most people watched your video anticipating a never publicised distressing fact to be revealed about this great queen's passing...
How was her death horrific? Stop using Clickbait headlines.
That sense of feeling and acting better right before death is commonly referred to as “the rally”. Many hospice patients do this.
A great video. I have visited Osbourne House and been in the bedroom where she died
Horrific, in all caps, is overused in the titles of your videos.
What’s so bad about dying at a ripe old age, in your own bed, surrounded by your family, soon to see your recently deceased relatives, having had the chance to make your soul right with God? Sure beats dying alone in a hospital bed, connected to machinery, no family or friends?
When I see the words 'Shocking' 'Horrific' 'Brutal' etc in a video title I skip straight to the comments to get the real story and sure enough I'm never disappointed. Saves me a lot of time watching a vid and waiting for the 'Horror' to happen.
We have depression
Fatal diseases
Poverty
Loss of children
Loss of jobs
Loss of homes
Etc etc etc
No one acknowledges
Us
...
?
I dont know if her death was horrific, not really whats taught to brits. But i do know her bedroom she died in at Osbourne house, which is a big wrap around room, had the strangest atmosphere when i walked through it. Shuddered shoulders. Was glad to get out of that room.
Maybe the “horrific grief of Queen Victoria “ or the “horrific broken heart “ but definitely not a “horrific death “.
There's Nothing Wrong Dying in one's home surrounded by love one's. Majority of people have died in their own home and probably continue on.
I agree 100%
Read in her last years she kept her home very cold not want warmth making everybody around her very uncomfortable.
I would love a video about Victoria and John Brown
There was a movie, Mrs. Brown, was made several years ago
In the movie about Victoria and Brown they told of the burning of their correspondence and destroyed his bust she’d commissioned. I wonder if that was historical fact. Her published correspondence lacks cohesion creating the possibility something like that happened. I think the “horrific” part of her passing, was in my opinion, the behavior of her grown children.
@cricket8438 and it was an excellent movie, too.
There is a wonderful & educational film about them: Mrs Brown. I believe it was made in the early 1990s.
Really pleasant voice and excellent narration, a really good storyteller. I'll look for more of your videos.
The woman was spoiled rotten. What a good life she lived.
Seems she was the only woman on earth that lost a husband. Insane to be in grief that long.
And she had so many children and grandchildren!
Yet all the money couldn't save her...
This was NOT a horrific story. Thank you for this nice documentary
She was a chubby lady... surprised she lived that long
As the famous British historian AJP Taylor said , Queen Victoria was an insufferable woman that he wouldn't employ as a cook.
You know what? Stop writing that something was "horrific" unless it actually was. You are single-handedly destroying the English language with this abuse.
She died as she had lived. In unadulterated luxury while millions of "her people" starved & worked like slaves.
Never mention her name in Ireland.
She was very obese so enjoyed her food while her people starved and aye bread mixed with chalk and plaster and sawdust. Shechad the very best of everything and lived a long life by any standard. Losing a great deal of weight is common as elderly lose their appetite when their body cells no longer repair or replace themselves so less calories are required in preparation for death. If anyone put a feeding tube in me while I was naturally dying I would haunt them. Death in old age is a normal part of the life cycle. Those who can afford good hospice care are fortunate like Victoria.
What’s the damn difference from then and now? Charles was just crowned at the cost of millions, all while the economy crashes, his people can’t afford food, electricity, water.
@@ninab.4540 I'm Irish, and I admire her very much,only the " shinners" hated her,and who do they not hate,
@@annettefournier9655 Nonsence,my father born 1887, father a tailor, mother a waster, said no one ever died of starvation. If there was no work there was the union,if you didn't want to go into the union,you could join the army or the navy,earn enough money to feed your family
Elderly rich lady dies warm in her bed surrounded by loved ones in a palace... so horrific. Truly, how could such a thing happen to anyone?
Good job but a few things. 1) The Prince of Wales was not shot in Belgium, an assassination attempt was made. 2) The ring was NOT John Brown's but his mother's. John Brown never married.
It's my understanding that the Queen's effigy was lost for 3 months if not longer. Can anybody verify this? Thank you
As usual, the narrator mispronounced a number of words.
Great commentary on the death of Queen Victoria. Nothing horrible here, just the truth around her dying moments and family chaos that ensued. RIP Queen Victoria. She was buried next to the love of her life, Albert. It doesn’t get any better than this.
This is not a “Horrific Death”, pleeeeease!
I came for horrific and got a beautiful death. 🤔
Perhaps the podcaster can give you a refund.
@@JudgeJulieLit Please put my claim in for me. Thanks 🙏🏾
Thank for this. I just realized, as a cousin from across the pond, that I spend more time watching the histories of the British Monarchy & others, than I do from my own country, rotfl. I guess it does help that my father's side is English/Irish.
Princess Beatrice looks so much like her.
One of the greatest murders of history. She not only refused to aid the Irish in their days of need, she also actively prevented other people from going to their aid.
Having previously read about QV’s death, when I read the video title I thought some unknown information had come to light. Saying her death was HORRIFIC ( and yes you even used CAPS), was merely for click bait as there was no new information, Very sad, but hey everyone else does it so it’s okay, right???
Gave her name to a whole era the Victorian era...R.I.P.With God and her beloved husband.1837- 1901.
If this is a horrific way to die, at your favourite home of many, surrounded by family, then what is a good way to die? Please don't lower your standards and become a click bait channel.
Interesting video, but the title is misleading. This wasn’t a horrific death, by most standards.
Stop CLICKBAITING. I’ m clicking off.
Far from horrific, but ill-handled.
Multiple strokes are painful. Bliod clots cause sharp pains and or difficulty breathing. She was blinded and frightened.
The German Kaisers were never Emperors of Germany. That title never existed. They were German Emperors.
Bless I heard so much about her with sport & her religion church of England 1800's. She was very famous Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth II grandmother. 50 year service for Rugby league was named after her. With shared Royal ancestor's on both sides of family tree. Mother & father. 🌷
I have been in the Queen’s Bedroom, Osbourne House IOW.. worth a visit ..
I would appreciate if in future whoever is reading these entries to be taught how to pronounce EVERY word correctly. For example,while I am aware that such a word as INFALLABLE might not be in daily use for everyone, it is not an archaic word and to know how it should be proounced is not asking the impossible.
* INFALLIBLE
What a shame the poor old girl had a real rubbish time without her best friend by her side I've always admired victoria for her strength and reign over the world largest empire god bless her soul 🕊🙏🏻
Can't listen to this any more😢
THE GRAET QUEEN 😢😢🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 IF PEOPLE HAVE THIS QUEEN THEY HAVE NO SORROW. I THINK QUEEN ELIZABETH AND FUTURE QUEEN OF CANADA PRINSES CHARLOTTE SAME QUEEN VICTORIA. ❤❤❤❤THESE ARE GREAT MOTHER FOR COUNTRY. PEOPLE YOU WISH HAVE SOME OF UK ROYAL FAMILY. I LOVE THEM AND I LOVE KINGDOM 💙💙💙💙🦁
They had morphine at that time
Excellent video, multople strokes is a horrible way to die without the medical interventions we have today, such as sedation and drugs to reduce choking on your saliva due to lack of swallow reflex from the paralysis. I understand the title of this video but only because i have a medical background. Victorian medicine was indeed basic and very brutal.
Not horrific.
It’s the “Bore (Boer) war”. Wonderful video 👏🏽👍🏽
Made a point of click bait not looking at the adverts.
Let me get this straight: she was buried next to Prince Albert in a coffin full of mementos of... John Brown?
She certainly wasn’t a good specimen perhaps the result of having so many births which would have taken its toll.
Every one of our days are numbered. So do all unto the Glory of God. Otherwise your life on this earth has no meaning.
thank you Queen Victoria 👸
Checked out half way through, how has this channel git 115k subs?
Whereas I enjoyed the substance of this video, I was annoyed by several mispronunciations in the commentary. The word "corsage" was spoken instead of the word "cortege", "ettiquette" was mis-spelled and mispronnouned, Boer was pronouned "Bo-er" nstead of "Bore", "Willhelm" was pronounced with a W instead of the correct V. The word "News" was several times pronouned "Nues" instead of "Niews" and there were other similar mistakes. Is it too much to hope that these could have been checked and corrected?
You missed the "amount" of soldiers.
Btw, I'm pretty sure oe is pronounced like a long oo in Dutch and Afrikaans (i.e. "boor").
Also "infalliable"??
Note 'bore more like 'b-awe'.not an easy word fir the English.
* Wilhelm
You use the term the horrific death of Queen Victoria , I do not understand this, Queen Victoria was surrounded by those she loved and in her beautiful Osbourne House. A death in a family like this is surely definitely not horrific!!!
This was great! Why does Victoria fascinate me so much? I'm not a "monarchist" that is for sure but there's something about her that intrigues me, I keep watching videos about her!
It's a great story without using a misleading title.
etiquette (etikett) not etekwet!
So many words mispronounced
I think the physical death itself isn't the "horrific" part, rather the dusting off of monarch death protocols not uses for years.
Did not die on the job like men women and CHILDREN in her time on the throne, horrendous conditions endured to get some poor pay to live. She was bigger around the waist than she was high, no hard work there. Absolutely no tears shed here.
Better to be surrounded by loved ones and family than strangers
horrific when you have the family around you lusting after the proceeds of the will!
Yep, living a luxurious life into old age and dying warm in your bed surrounded by your childrem is HORRIFIC...GMAB
Queen Victoria's death was not horrific, the best care, in her home with her family. This site should not be allowed to publish
Strange pronunciation of the 'Boer War'........
Why these over the top headlines. There was nothing particularly horrific about her dying circumstances. Enoughwith the over heated headlines.
The title was inaccurate but the video was good. There isn't anything horrific about an old woman dying surrounded by family, that is in fact quite normal.
Thank you to commenters for giving me the heads up about the “click bait” nature of the title-and why. I have frequently watched the “Her Remarkable History” pieces, and here I immediately clicked away. Indeed, to the producer of these pieces: please resist the marketing ploy of sensational titles. It only cheapens you.
nowadays there are plans for all the monarch's deaths, down to the last flower and horse. i'm sure that the bad planning was sending them all into a tizzy. i'm happy that victoria finally joined her albert. fascinates me about the ''wedding ring'' of john brown!
You left out that Queen Victoria....was a mutant! (She was a carrier for hemophilia and it didn't appear previously in the pedigree)
