Again when I hear Alfonso blamed his wife for the son's haemophilia it makes me mad. His mother warned him, but he was the king and wanted to get his way.
Ingrid hanging a British flag in her window in defiance of German occupation gives me an image of her hanging the flag up in her window and then giving the finger over her shoulder as she walks away 😂😂
She respected her family too much to do so. However, I wouldn't be surprised if she did it at times to German officers, who dared come to Amalienborg. The Nazis fortunately had nothing to do with the protection of the royal family of Denmark, during the occupation. Even after the cooperation between the Danish Government and the Nazis fell apart in August 1943, and the police and Armed Forces sent on the run, the only exception were the protection detail around the royal family.
@christinaj.jensen4805 .....Sir, it was a joke 🙄 Obviously, no Queen is going to be caught flipping someone off. I was just talking about the image that statement gave me in my mind.
She actually put up 3 flags, the danish one obviously, the swedish and the british. Her mother-in-law the queen, who was from Germany on the day of occupation intercepted the German general that wanted an audience with the king, and told him off with the words "This is not how I expected to meet a countryman", then left without letting him reply. Setting the tone for the occupation as "We know you're here, we can't stop you, but don't ever think for a second you're welcome."
Seeing the slight error about Margretta still being queen if Denmark lets me know just how long you have been working on this video. Actually makes me a little happy despite the error.
@@daniakalainayup, nowadays in a country with resources for haemophilia specifically you can have a natural life span, there's even experimental gene therapy, but it only lasts a few years before wearing off, a lot of haemophiliacs play sports quite often, which they weren't able to during the time of those in this video
@@Clem20033 King Constantine has also been dead for quite a while, yet his section says he's living in Greece, I'm gonna say writing filming/editing takes quite a while, so that's probably why. I don't know what kind of help Lindsay has, but probably not dozens of full time employees...
@@WaynesPokeWorldI’m with you on that but Queen Margrethe gave notice of her abdication in her New Year’s Eve speech here in Denmark. Then Frederick was crowned in January. (My husband and son were there whereas me and my other son watched it on TV). Definitely very different to the UK coronation!
The Danish royals in general all openly defied the Nazis and were seen as a symbol of hope throughout the occupation. I mean. Just a week after the occupation began, future Queen Margrethe the II was born and everyone saw her as a light in the darkness. King Christian the X defied the Nazis every single day by riding around Copenhagen on horseback, without an escort. He also made sure, that the Jews were not being singled out and not forced to wear the Yellow Star of David, as they were in other occupied nations, as a condition of Denmark surrendering peacefully at the beginning of the occupation. The royal family helped fund the Jewish evacuation to Sweden. And Crown Prince Frederik (later King Frederik the IX) took part in sinking the Danish fleet on August 29th 1943, which effectively destroyed the cooperation between the Danish government and the Nazis. And that's just the highlights.
@@christinaj.jensen4805 I’m not Danish, but they rock. I just watched a short documentary about King Frederick riding his horse through Copenhagen during occupation and how it helped his people’s morale. His Majesty was a bad ass!

I’m sorry! But ALFONSO (the first one) was TOLD ahead of marriage by the princess she had the hemophilia gene and could pass it on. He ignored it and then had the nerve to go shocked pikachu and blame his wife? Like sir you were warned but let love make you say otherwise. He perturbed me something fierce 😂
Bet you he didn't even love her (obvious af once the kids were born), he literally went "she's hot I want her", like her being nice was a bonus, but he clearly didn't think about anyone but himself - not the country who needed a healthy heir, not his family who warned him that the children won't be able to have a normal rough and tumble childhood, bonus that one had to take AFTER his job, not even Ena if he got all hissy at her passing down a disease SHE wouldn't have WANTED if she had a choice and HE CHOSE HER as his consort!
From what I understand, there must be 2 genes. The mother carries it, but I think that there has to be another recessive gene involved. I may be wrong, but my step sister carries the gene, but has a son and daughter who are healthy because her husband doesn't have the recessive gene. They went through testing before they had children to make sure that they would have healthy children. Their daughter does carry the gene and must go through the genetic tests before having children. With George V and Nicholas being cousins, they look like twins. Then Nicholas married a close cousin. Another of HMQV's granddayghters. There must be a recessive gene floating around. With all of the insest in the royal families for hundreds of years, what do you expect? Anything closer than 3rd cousins is a ticking time bomb. HMQEII and HRHP Philip got lucky. Like I said, this is what I understand to be true. Please correct me if I am wrong. I will appreciate any and all information.
That's imposible, hemophilia was an unknown disease back in the early 20th century, and it's been proven that, despite suspicious theories, it wasn't possible to know who carried it back then.
Fun part: Princes, and princesses, had to marry nobles, or royals, to get royal permission to keep their rank, but kings may marry anyone they please, Swedish law since Erik XIV married Karin Månsdotter.
@@dirgniflesuoh7950 This law is an inherited one though, and the reason the king can marry whoever they want is because the rule is the king needs to approve of the marriage, a king isn't going to tell himself no. For a long time Haakon wasn't keen on approving Haralds connection to Sonja, not because he didn't like her, but because the norwegian throne was fairly (re)new, and he feared it would cost them backing if they became too common. Harald ended up forcing the issue and he and Sonja proved Haakons fears were unwarranted.
So we all agree? Charles Edward was an absolute asshat? Could have made it into the running for one of the worst Germans at the time if it wasn't for the whole WWII thing elevating a lot of other contenders?
I should note that Johann Leopold’s descendants do have a claim to something defunct, just not a throne. His descendants are the claimants to his father’s stripped title, Duke of Albany and its subsidiary titles. Under the Titles Deprivation Act 1917, his heirs to have the right to petition the Crown for the restoration of their titles, but to date none have opted to do so. Another interesting thing to note, most of Beatriz and Maria Cristina is that many of their descendants have continued to marry royalty and nobility. Beatriz’s descendants are actually still nobles, as although the title of Prince of Civitella-Cesi is Italian, it was granted by the Papacy, which as Vatican City still exists, the Italian Republic recognizes the title, and her granddaughter Sibilla Sandra Weiller is married to Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg. By contrast, 2 of Maria Cristina’s daughter married Spanish noblemen, her eldest Vittoria became Marquise of Casa Loring and her third daughter María Theresa became Duchess of Beana and of Sanlúcar la Mayor, along with hodgepodge of lesser titles
That is interesting as there is a descendant of the eldest son of Prince Edward and Princess Alexandra of Denmark, their son was born unannounced, baptized with an assumed name and sadly abandoned, in June 1862, in South Africa.
@@harrytree7808 My sibling in Christ, they hadn’t even married until 1863. And that’s to say nothing of the fact that neither of them were in South Africa in 1862. They toured the Middle East, and finished the year in Belgium.

Or how about Queen Tamar of Georgia, Queen Urraca of Leon, Queen Isabella II of Spain, Princess Isabel of Brazil (heiress to her father's throne), the Queens of Jerusalem or Queen Joan I of Naples.

2:55 Marianne is actually still living as of August 1, 2024, and correct me if I'm wrong but I think she's the second oldest royal in the world, behind Yuriko, Princess Mikasa (Marianne is 100, Yuriko is 101)
He was more known as the Father-in-Law of Europe. She did make videos on his children and grandchildren. But yes. She definetely should make a separate video on him. And his wife, Queen Louise, because much of his reputation and the cunning in match making for their children, is because of her. Not to mention, that he wouldn't have been made King if it wasn't for her.
There’s a series on UA-cam done by a Danish media company. It’s in English and very well done. I studied journalism in Denmark so I like to promote anything that comes from there.

I've been subscribed to you since 2021 but recently ive been loving your videos, and i love the humor that you bring in them Miss Holiday..❤ And i know that prime Minister Winston Churchill wasn't a royal but please consider making a video about him,since you already covered his mother in the Dollar Princesses video
6:22 Alastair was considered so incompetent by his cousin Lord Athlone (then Governor-General of Canada, and under whom Alastair served as an aide-de-camp) and by the Royal Scots Greys that he had largely been relieved of any substantive responsibilities.
Among the claimants of defunct thrones you should also add Aimone Duke of Aosta who claims to be the head of the Italian House of Savoy in competition with Emanuele Filiberto. He's a great-grandson of Sophia of Prussia, Queen consort of Greece and daughter of Victoria Princess Royal. Aimone's father, Amedeo, was first cousin to Queen Sofia of Spain and her brother King Constantine of Greece. Amedeo's mother, Princess Irene of Greece, was in turn first cousin to Prince Philip.
This could be my rusted history about the Earl of Athlone, Alexander Cambridge who served as Governor General in colonial South Africa, and my High School was called after his Title in Johannesburg.

Can you please make a video about the Swedish disowned former princes (Counts of wisborg) who forfeited the throne as they married for love? Would love it ❤
Why does it sometimes seem the royalty have eyes looking in two different directions? Or is it just me wondering? Is it all the inbreeding? Also, around 13:42, the look on the baby's face when that cheetah is being all nice kitty.
Does anyone know where Victoria’s hemophilia gene came from? Just because I don’t know that any of the offspring of the Hanoverian dynasty had the disease I’m wondering if it was passed on through her mother. This is just conjecture on my part. What a terrible legacy to unknowingly pass on to future generations! How many of Victoria’s descendants carried on or had hemophilia? Was this also a result of the continuous inbreeding of royal families?
It was likely a spontaneous mutation due to her father, Prince Edward, being about 50 at the time of her conception and hemophilia has been known to show up in the children of older fathers. As for inbreeding, I doubt it. Neither Victoria’s parents nor her paternal grandparents were closely related, so I doubt inbreeding had to do with it.
Lindsay did a video specifically on hemophilia among Queen Victoria’s descendants. I believe in the video she said that a factor was Victoria’s father being older (he was 51 when Victoria was born), as a parent being older can mean a child will inherit certain genetic mutations. As such, it didn’t come about directly from inbreeding, as I don’t believe her parents were that closely related. And it was more that anyone who was a carrier brought it into their marriages with them…whether they were related to their spouses was irrelevant, since mothers who were carriers had the same chance of passing it down, regardless of who they married, and the gene did not exist in the other families prior, even if they were related through other lines.
In Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, Sulia tells her friends about Alexander the Great's life and how he struck a friendship with Gaudeamus before tragedy struck that caused Alexander to die of an illness (fever, in this case) in Babylon.
Really enjoyed this historic compilation, but I do have questions. Do we know if the cursed hemophiliac gene is still an issue in any of the current descendants? It seems that the British throne has been able to avoid the gene? But who was the original carrier, do we know that?
I don't think so queen Victoria the current British royals don't have it because it was only passed through daughters of QV. Thus, the descendants of Edward VII are fine
Thank you for this lovely content lindsay 😊😊😊 But I eagerly request you to maka a video of the British line of succesion from place 60th from Princess royal Mary's descendants.pls pls pls, I plead you to make this video. Other than that you make my history eager mind satisfied. THANK YOU for all your hardwork 😊😊
Apologies if this question seems a bit dim so please forgive me but are all those people the late Queens cousins? I can’t believe just how enormous the family is.
I like these videos a lot, that's why I wanna give a little advice to whoever edits them. Please try using an audio limiter to smooth the amplitude and avoid these high peaks. Linday's modulation needs that process. It would make the overall loudness easier to manage, too. Apart from that I wouldn't consider Georg Friedrich von Hohenzollern a claimant to anything. The german empire was a joke and quite short-lived. If Germany would become a monarchy today it would become a kingdom, not an empire. The Hohenzollern family would be last on the list of families who could claim a german throne. The Wittelsbachs, the Ernestiner-Wettiner, the Welfen and perhaps the House of Baden would have much stronger claims.
I just read David Duff’s biography of Princess Beatrice of Battenberg and his equally fascinating companion piece Hessian Tapestry. Fascinating! That particular family tree is central to the some of the saddest histories of our time. A matriarchy thst brought its genealogy back from thr brink of extinction.
Hello Lindsay Can you do some videos on Polish monarchs or famous people like Józef Piłsudski. I am from Poland and I love the fact that you made a video on Jadwiga Jagiellońska. I watch all your videos. Greetings from Olsztyn😁
I think the King of Spain mother is also a great great grang children of Victoria through Queen Victoria's eldest daughter Empress Victoria of Germany ❤
Prince George Prince William and Princess Catherine really looks like some of the older royals. His eyes and forehead. You really see it in his features.
I wonder if it wasn’t a little risky for Elizabeth II to marry Phillip when they were both descendants of Victoria. There was a chance their sons could have been hemophiliacs
How do you think that would be possible? First of all, she had to have enough children who can marry into the different royal families. And then these will have to actually marry into the different royal families. Only problem is, not a lot of royals marry other royals anymore.
Again when I hear Alfonso blamed his wife for the son's haemophilia it makes me mad. His mother warned him, but he was the king and wanted to get his way.
Up until recently, people blamed the mother for anything that went wrong with the child or pregnancy, even gender.

2:55 Marianne is actually still living as of August 1, 2024, and correct me if I'm wrong but I think she's the second oldest royal in the world, behind Yuriko, Princess Mikasa (Marianne is 100, Yuriko is 101)
Yup, Marianne is still alive.
You should do one on the grandfather of Europe King Christian of Denmark
He was more known as the Father-in-Law of Europe. She did make videos on his children and grandchildren. But yes. She definetely should make a separate video on him. And his wife, Queen Louise, because much of his reputation and the cunning in match making for their children, is because of her. Not to mention, that he wouldn't have been made King if it wasn't for her.
There’s a series on UA-cam done by a Danish media company. It’s in English and very well done. I studied journalism in Denmark so I like to promote anything that comes from there.
Let's do the Greek monarch even these abolished royal monarchs soon.
Error alert: there's a change in Danish royal, Queen Margarethe stepped down this year and Frederick is now King.
4:38 Crown Prince Frederick? Isn't he the current King of Denmark ?
I've been subscribed to you since 2021 but recently ive been loving your videos, and i love the humor that you bring in them Miss Holiday..❤
And i know that prime Minister Winston Churchill wasn't a royal but please consider making a video about him,since you already covered his mother in the Dollar Princesses video
6:22 Alastair was considered so incompetent by his cousin Lord Athlone (then Governor-General of Canada, and under whom Alastair served as an aide-de-camp) and by the Royal Scots Greys that he had largely been relieved of any substantive responsibilities.
1 min and already 26 likes? Amazing! Love from Philippines
Among the claimants of defunct thrones you should also add Aimone Duke of Aosta who claims to be the head of the Italian House of Savoy in competition with Emanuele Filiberto. He's a great-grandson of Sophia of Prussia, Queen consort of Greece and daughter of Victoria Princess Royal. Aimone's father, Amedeo, was first cousin to Queen Sofia of Spain and her brother King Constantine of Greece. Amedeo's mother, Princess Irene of Greece, was in turn first cousin to Prince Philip.
This could be my rusted history about the Earl of Athlone, Alexander Cambridge who served as Governor General in colonial South Africa, and my High School was called after his Title in Johannesburg.
This channel is the BEST ! 💞👍🏻❤️👍🏻💞
Proud of your hard work creating these amazing content. Love from the Philippines 💖🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Hello lindsay could you make a video about french monarchs + another series about their consorts

4:38 😂 Queen Margaret, II gave it up on the 11th of January 2024 she announced that she would in her 2023 Christmas speech 🎤

infante jaime* prince guillame*
Can you please make a video about the Swedish disowned former princes (Counts of wisborg) who forfeited the throne as they married for love?
Would love it ❤
1❤ your voice, it's crazy, good! And I love these videos!
Why does it sometimes seem the royalty have eyes looking in two different directions? Or is it just me wondering? Is it all the inbreeding? Also, around 13:42, the look on the baby's face when that cheetah is being all nice kitty.
Yep.😂 That baby's face says I don't want to be dinner,😂
Can you do more videos about Egyptian royalty
Now please do about her great great grandchildren 🙏🏻
Waiting for you to do king christian IX of denmark great grandchildren
Does anyone know where Victoria’s hemophilia gene came from? Just because I don’t know that any of the offspring of the Hanoverian dynasty had the disease I’m wondering if it was passed on through her mother. This is just conjecture on my part. What a terrible legacy to unknowingly pass on to future generations! How many of Victoria’s descendants carried on or had hemophilia? Was this also a result of the continuous inbreeding of royal families?
It was likely a spontaneous mutation due to her father, Prince Edward, being about 50 at the time of her conception and hemophilia has been known to show up in the children of older fathers.
As for inbreeding, I doubt it. Neither Victoria’s parents nor her paternal grandparents were closely related, so I doubt inbreeding had to do with it.
Lindsay did a video specifically on hemophilia among Queen Victoria’s descendants. I believe in the video she said that a factor was Victoria’s father being older (he was 51 when Victoria was born), as a parent being older can mean a child will inherit certain genetic mutations. As such, it didn’t come about directly from inbreeding, as I don’t believe her parents were that closely related. And it was more that anyone who was a carrier brought it into their marriages with them…whether they were related to their spouses was irrelevant, since mothers who were carriers had the same chance of passing it down, regardless of who they married, and the gene did not exist in the other families prior, even if they were related through other lines.
Is this video from now? Cause it stranged me that you didn't say King Frederick 10th
You should do a video on Alexander the Great
In Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture, Sulia tells her friends about Alexander the Great's life and how he struck a friendship with Gaudeamus before tragedy struck that caused Alexander to die of an illness (fever, in this case) in Babylon.
@@domylovric5600 also Alexander the Great maybe in love with a man named Hephaestion
Really enjoyed this historic compilation, but I do have questions.
Do we know if the cursed hemophiliac gene is still an issue in any of the current descendants? It seems that the British throne has been able to avoid the gene?
But who was the original carrier, do we know that?
I don't think so
queen Victoria
the current British royals don't have it because it was only passed through daughters of QV. Thus, the descendants of Edward VII are fine
All roads really lead back to Greece in this series for some reason 😂
Thank you for this lovely content lindsay 😊😊😊
But I eagerly request you to maka a video of the British line of succesion from place 60th from Princess royal Mary's descendants.pls pls pls, I plead you to make this video. Other than that you make my history eager mind satisfied.
THANK YOU for all your hardwork 😊😊
Cool video
Apologies if this question seems a bit dim so please forgive me but are all those people the late Queens cousins? I can’t believe just how enormous the family is.
these people would be QEII's second cousins once removed, they'd be second cousins with her dad George VI
I just found out of princess Kalina of Bulgaria. Never heard nor seen her before.
Who is the parent of the 1 great-great-great-great-great-great grand child?
Hi. Any interest in doing a video on the descendants of Lucrezia Borgia who are current heads of state and how they are related to her?
you mean descendants?
@@andypham1636 yes, I did mean descendants.
How would she able to find that?
@@natalieevans3940We knew what you meant! 😉
I like these videos a lot, that's why I wanna give a little advice to whoever edits them. Please try using an audio limiter to smooth the amplitude and avoid these high peaks. Linday's modulation needs that process. It would make the overall loudness easier to manage, too.
Apart from that I wouldn't consider Georg Friedrich von Hohenzollern a claimant to anything. The german empire was a joke and quite short-lived. If Germany would become a monarchy today it would become a kingdom, not an empire. The Hohenzollern family would be last on the list of families who could claim a german throne. The Wittelsbachs, the Ernestiner-Wettiner, the Welfen and perhaps the House of Baden would have much stronger claims.
I’m curious. Who is six times great grandchild?
Margrethe ll abdicated in January of this year. Her son Frederik is now King and his wife Mary is Queen Consort.
Fortunately now it’s possible to check for the haemophilia gene.
Carl Johan Bernadotte was also the last living great-grandchild of Queen Victoria.
I just read David Duff’s biography of Princess Beatrice of Battenberg and his equally fascinating companion piece Hessian Tapestry. Fascinating! That particular family tree is central to the some of the saddest histories of our time. A matriarchy thst brought its genealogy back from thr brink of extinction.
Wonderful
Are there any more active hemophiliacs in the family?
If can, you should US vice presidents or how fourth of July really got started
Hello Lindsay
Can you do some videos on Polish monarchs or famous people like Józef Piłsudski. I am from Poland and I love the fact that you made a video on Jadwiga Jagiellońska. I watch all your videos. Greetings from Olsztyn😁
When did you write this episode, Queen Margreth gave up her throne on the 14 of January 2024. That 6 months ago!
Trying to keep up with Canadians drinking is going to turn out badly. Ottawa is an iceberg in winter
I think the King of Spain mother is also a great great grang children of Victoria through Queen Victoria's eldest daughter Empress Victoria of Germany ❤
Princess Sibylla died in 1972, not 1962, and Carl XVI Gustaf ascended in autumn 1973.
I think like September 1973
Prince George Prince William and Princess Catherine really looks like some of the older royals. His eyes and forehead. You really see it in his features.
You mean Princess Charlotte. Catherine is their mother
Now you can do a video of the father on law of europe
18:48 My sister just got back from Barcelona
Family resemblance, the late King Constantine could be the brother of the late Crown Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden
I think Frederick is King of Denmark now?
O love you video ❤❤
Pls do a video on famous old Hollywood celebrities
I wonder if it wasn’t a little risky for Elizabeth II to marry Phillip when they were both descendants of Victoria. There was a chance their sons could have been hemophiliacs
Why didn't the Swedish monarchy change their law to allow to marry commoners after ww1 since there aren't so many monarchies left?
Who knows but the rule stuck around until the reign of Carl XVI Gustaf. He married a commoner, then approved of his uncle marrying one
Queen Margrethe of Denmark has abdicated! It is now King Frederik!
did u write this a few months ago cause queen margrette is no longer queen
could be from an old clip pasted together
I wonder if the current Princess of Asturias, Leonor, will become the next grandmother of Europe.
How do you think that would be possible? First of all, she had to have enough children who can marry into the different royal families. And then these will have to actually marry into the different royal families. Only problem is, not a lot of royals marry other royals anymore.
who else like Lindsay
Charles Edward being abusive of his daughter is news to me. I would like you to reveal your sources for this claim.
Please can you try do great grandchildren
