She's my fav of Victoria and Albert's children. Can't believe she lived to 91, what a life! She got to witness four new monarchs after the death of her mother, the abdication crisis, women's right to vote, WWI and the beginnings of WWII! She was talented and really stood up to Queen Victoria and for what she believed in. I wish her father lived to see her talented artwork, he'd be so proud.
What’s incredible (talking of her age) is that her younger brother Arthur lived to be the same age literally to the VERY day, dying, like Louise, at the age of 91 years 8 months and 16 days. What are the chances of that?
@@gerardmackay8909 wow, that is interesting and I didn’t know that. I believe she grew closer to him later in once their other siblings all passed. The family seem to have weird coincidences like that. For instance, Princess Alice dying on the same day as her father 17 years after he did.
@@feyrol42 yes I’m not superstitious but that family is certainly a swirl of odd coincidences. One of the most interesting of them is Bertie’s near death encounter with Typhoid (the disease that killed his father). Albert died on December 14th 1861 and Bertie’s bout of typhoid reached its climax exactly 10 years later on December 14th 1871 (against all expectations the fever broke that night and he survived). After poor Alice’s death 7 years later that family must have looked upon December 14th as a cursed date. Fascinating stuff
Thanks for bringing history alive for me. I am glad to have found you. Lindsay Holiday was my top to go favorite historian. Now I consider your channel a notch above hers.
I love how she was thoroughly obsessed with her weight and health...but totally addicted to cigarettes! So funny. I thoroughly enjoyed this video - i watched it several times - so much in it. As such tho, my only wish as the video goes along, you mention the year/date more frequently for specific events, as it helps keeping up with the life sequence a bit easier. Not enough is said about Victorias daughters and grandchildren esp the lesser known ones. Lastly, its interesting the late Queen denied many DNA requests of ancestors. Prob a good idea...its likely there would be more than one surprise in the results.
The only really truly beautiful child of Victoria and intelligent and artistic too. The only child who didn’t have a child of her own (if you ignore gossip to the contrary) mainly because she married the very homosexual Lord Lorne
I appreciate that Princess Louise tried and succeeded in many instances to make life easier for a great number of people. A brave woman for her time period❤🩹
I hope every single scandal was true and that she never gave Victoria a single second of rest. Good on her!

Louise was considered the beauty of the family.
LOUISE IS AWESOMEEEEEEEE
LOUISE IS THE BEST

Victoria was selfish
Ah a pisces. Makes sense
I am also a pisces and I have always related to Louise. My father passed away when I was 13/14 as well
She's my favorite. A flapper before the flapper age! She did her own thing and I love her for that. Pisces here also.
