The Messed Up Truth About Queen Victoria

- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- We may have an image of every Queen of England as a stuffy, uptight, and perfectionistic ruler who is nonetheless loved by her people. In the case of Queen Victoria, this isn’t exactly the case. Victoria led quite a fascinating life, during which she did and said plenty of things that you probably wouldn't expect.
For instance, defying any prudish stereotypes about royals, Queen Victoria actually had a very passionate love life, and she also enjoyed getting high. Oh, and her grandson just might have been Jack the Ripper. Let’s take a look at the messed-up truth about Queen Victoria.

In your opinion, who were the best and worst English monarchs from history?
They were all corrupt criminals and thieves.
Queen Victoria, in my history buff opinion, was the greatest ruler in British history. Worst ever is a bit harder to judge, in my opinion, as there is more competition for that title, but if I had to name one it would be King John.
Elizabeth 1
King George
Kelly Robinson Which one? There were four .
I’m not even British, but I’ve done extensive research on Queen Victoria. The inaccuracies in this video are quite upsetting. You can’t talk about the messed up truth of Queen Victoria without the arranged marriages of almost all her children. Or how her grandchildren were literally on both sides of WW1, as Heads of State.
Any sources you'd recommend?
Makes sense, I’ve not done much research on her but I’ve seen that each royal around the world was a grandchild of queen victoria
How interesting, thankyou.
This is leftist revisionist history.
So true they where all related.
Prince albert victor was not the ripper. He was in India when the murders took place. It's been disproven by many sources.
Yes, we are aware. We are merely mentioning the rumor - not in any way inferring he was Jack The Ripper, because he wasn't.
He is the spitting image of the ripper.
@@SoloEcho In India
@@GrungeHQ Then why repeat this idiotic rumour? The actual murderer was probably someone much more banal. People to like to romanticize the idea of the killer being someone who was majestic when in fact the most obvious suspect were any of a number of local lunatics. He probably either died shortly after the killings or was incarcerated on other charges. That is why the murders stopped.
...and his alibis were...
My great great grandparents met the queen and were invited to a midnight ball at Buckingham palace. He said that when she smiled if was scary because all you could see was gums.
Nice! 😱

This actress is too pretty to portray Queen Victoria.
She’s got anachronistic modern makeup
@@crixxxxxxxxx Exactly , it doesn't match the looks of women in victorian era.
Heaven forbid a role for an average looking woman be filled by an actually average looking woman
Poor Jenna Coleman, she is being criticized for being TOO pretty.
Queen Victoria was pretty when she was young, besides women back then were natural not surgically altered.
The British called it a famine, we Irish call it what it was “ Genocide “ doesn’t sound as romantic as mass murder!

@@laurielovett8849 none of your ancestors died probably cuz they were english land owners and not irish ms lovett

Queen Victoria's parenting skills left much to be desired. Her daughters inherited her poor parental skills, which would have catastrophic effects on their sons Nicholas II of Russia and Wilhelm II of Germany
The Russian Tsareivitch had heamophilia, Wilhelm had a withered arm. Parenting, good or bad, did not come into it.
She murdered 10's of millions of people by forced famine, literally creating the 3rd World on 1/2 the planet where there wasn't any. And people talk her parenting skills. Omg. She's Stalin.
Book of catherine. Once again for the hard of learning. Queen Victoria did nothig to cause any deaths. Her Government left a lot to be desired. Her Majesty however had only compassion for her subjects. Especially lndia.
James Ricker ...Nicolas II of Russia was NOT Victoria’s grandson!
For your information the future Kaisors mother was devoted to him but had no say in the treatment of the child's withered arm but doctors had no alternative at the time. The future Kaisor loved his grandma Victoria. In fact she died in his arms. And poor little Alexis of Russia had haemophelia. both parents and his 4 sisters loved him. his mother Victoria's daughter made an understandable decision to have the mad monk Rasputin attend and pray for him because it seemed to work. Wrong decision but perhaps we would have chosen that path if he was our child. Its hard to see your child suffer so much. If she made a poor choice, she certainly PSID for it,to have her entire family shot and bainited to death .
Queen Victoria was quite a strategic monarch and woman. She was one of the longest reigning sovereigns, and married every one of her children into a different royal family thus making almost every European royal family a descendant of her bloodline. She was nicknamed "The Grandmother of Europe" because of her efforts to tie all the great monarchies into one tree. Sadly as we all now know it didn't end well with most of the cousins either going to war with one another or being overthrown. I feel she did the most or close to the most of any monarch but also ended up shattering multiple crowns because of it. Truly an interesting woman.
The problem was that Victoria insisted on going ahead with Albert's plans for their children's marriages, and failed to realise that the world had changed since he died. The map of Europe had been redrawn but Victoria still stubbornly did everything that Albert had wanted regardless of whether it was relevant or even wise.
I recently discovered through Ancestry that my mom is related to Queen Victoria 😊
The theory of Albert Victor being the Ripper has been debunked.
Very true. It was proven he was elsewhere and in the company of others when the ripper murders were committed.
Tell a sheep the sky is green and the sheep will believe it
You miss the fact that most of Victoria’s “would be assassins”, had unloaded weapons or blanks. The intention was mostly for infamy
Hello bro
No mention of Victoria and Albert being FIRST COUSINS?! Ugh
So were a lot of royal couples in a lot of countries.
@@tweakypoppy a creep factor that still continues today in some royal successions. And they see themselves as being above 'common folk'.🙄
@@6ixConfessions It still continues among Arabs too without any royal succession, the cousin marriage rate of Arabs is about 40%. It is very common among Muslims of any race also. I've worked with a couple of Indian Muslims who were first cousins and married to their first cousins, one of whom was the sister of his cousin with whom he worked.
In my current job a Christian Arab man's sister is married to his cousin.
Royal families and even just wealthy families used to marry first cousins in order to keep property and wealth and power in the family.
@@tweakypoppy it's all rather interesting when you start delving into it. Funny how much influence some people allow money, power & titles to have over whom they marry.
@Dom Gilmartin No one was saying it is okay.
Also, it is highly improbable that Prince Albert Victor ever had any surgical, or butcher / slaughterer experience, which the killer did, from his technique.
Women and children dying in consentration camps in South Africa after their farms were burned to the ground in the Anglo Boer War in 1900. Sick.
Not to mention half the Irish population that she starved to death by taking all of their food as export. Children and adults were dying with green foam running out of their mouths from trying to eat grass to survive, and she turned around 10k pounds of food because God forbid she looked like her true self in the face of someone else's generosity.

Whats with the music? It doesnt fit the subject. Off with your ead!

I love Dame Judy Dench as Queen Victoria. She portrayed her twice in movies surrounding her relationships with two of her male servants at different stages in her life.
The subject matter is so grim, but the music is so jolly
Jolly.... Made me laugh.
Much of it is negative spin and some is virtually libelous. Abdul was a trusted companion and the Queen never saw him as anything less. The idea that Britain did nothing but take from the colonies is demostrably false, with free trade being the dominant force within the empire - colonies not only benefitted from imported goods, but also by the building of roads and railways, the creation of a civil service, a good postal system and a justice system which treated its subjects as equal under the law, as well as encouraging intelligent people into university education which then allowed them to take leading roles in society and colonial politics.
Sometimes I wonder why Germany still pays reparation to states it affected with its lunacy during WWII, but Britain doesn't pay reparations for all the contries and indigent cultures it destroyed during colonialism. The British system lasted for centuries and probably affected even more generations than WWII ever could have. The most amazing thing out of all of this is how Britain managed to squander all that wealth. When Norway invested its Oil funds into a portfolio that made them one of the richest countries in the world, Thatcher threw it all away.
I was once impressed of Britain and its philosophers and artists. While those still hold merit, I find no positives in the British way of life, which includes spending huge amounts of money that don't belong to them. They produce nothing of value, except maybe plane engines. Most other industries sold out or failed, despite often having considerable advantages over other countries; No wonder they want to leave the EU, they can't stand it when someone needs their money. Germany has no problem with that and look - they are successful while Britain is sinking into self-pity and ignorance. Britain has terrible elitist and lazy politicians, who are really bad at their job. And they keep electing them.
With that said and in that regard, Queen Victoria must have been the greatest scumbag of them all. A saying I always liked: "Great wealth is either stolen or inherited" (which means if it is inherited it was stolen before).
TheLobstersoup A good summarily of this country;especially about the elites and stupid brainwashed people who vote them back in.
Who needs good plane engines ..the skies n Mother Earth don’t ..nor l.
Hm. And I thought Germans were over the Second World War. I suppose not. 😑
The colonies benefited as a few I of my Indian friends tell me. they wouldn't have had the colosdol network of railways criss crossing the continent only for the Victorians
@Tinita Bondi Exactly my friends say the same. No progress has been made
Because they continue to think they’ve done nothing wrong. I don’t care if they come out with apologies. Cheaply done.
She wasn’t an attractive woman even as a young woman.
I hate it when movies do that
Makes me under how she had nine children.
Back in those days if your skin wasn’t pock-marked and you had all your teeth, you were an automatic 7.
What a lot of nasty females we have here not everyone is a Diane clone
why did I come across this video 1 straight year after 💀
Recently historians traced the Porphyria gene back to Mary Queen of Scots whose son and sole heir started that branch of the combined English and Scottish royal family. Females can pass the gene and not suffer from it. George III is likely to have had the condition. He was 7 generations from Queen Mary I of Scotland.
Two of her great-great grandchildren Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were married for 73 years.
I will never understand why when the country is going through famine, the monarch of that country does not distribute seeds for alternate crops. in fact, I dont really see why the monarch should not distribute a variety of crop seeds every year to increase agriculture, rotate crops and keep the farmers/peasants food supply going. it really wouldn't take much to have done it. Victoria could have done without a few tiaras to fund it. Louis XIV could have done without a few dinner parties, Tzars could had done with less caviar ... etc etc
I'm glad someone wrote this. I watched the series on 'Absolute History' channel...you have these jewels, crowns, money, etc yet the people of your country are starving and living in poverty.
He wacked the queen over the head LMFAOOOO 😆😆😂😂

Thank you for correcting them. I was about to do that.
Turkey was one of the countries controlled by the Ottoman Empire. Osman a Turk was the head and he was located in Turkey. so yes.... Turkey was center of it.
@@collinsfriend1 incorrect, by that logic it could have been said that it was the sultan of Syria or Iraq you see, it was an entirely different political entity, althou Turkey is considered the successor state, modern turkey has little to nothing to do with the ottoman empire. Its like negating the existence of the USSR, yes the center of power was in moskow (or russia if you will)but for 75 yrs it was called the soviet union, even now when people make reference to that period of time
Turkey was the heart of the Ottoman empire. No turkey, no Ottoman empire
@@itssanti true true.
That was mind-blowing. She's seen as the greatest queen in history alongside Elizabeth I. Even though a lot of stuff happened during her reign, England had the largest empire in the world than Rome.

He only said it was speculated
I don’t believe it either
The Victorian era wasn't one of the best!
No...highly overrated era.
They had the largest, wealthiest, most advanced empire in the world, yet they were repressed and miserable most of the time. Many of the problems we face today, such as pollution, originated then and led directly to two world wars and a cold war.
@Kuldip Singh Yes, it was shocking what they did in India and Africa etc.
For all their faults, I still have great respect and affection for the Victorians. They were a courageous, adventuresome, highly imaginative and creative people: James Glashier, the first serious meteorologist in history - Charles Dickens, Gilbert and Sullivan, Florence Nightingale, Lewis Carroll, and that's just the start. They wrote most of the world's most famous Christmas Carols and gave us the Christmas we know best ( along with the Dutch and the Germans). Their wit and humor was second to none, and it remains so to this day. No matter bad-mouthing of the Victorian people, thank you.
@@daisybtoes Very true! It was an era for invention, innovation and social reform!
*standing corrected* I don't know if you celebrate Christmas - if you do, Merry Christmas, if not, have a good day anyway :)
You can see the uncanny resemblance between Queen Victoria and the doctor who girl who portrayed her.

And they named a male genital piercing adornment after her husband Prince Albert.
What? Can u explain please.
they say the ripper was an american doctor who used to travel back and forth between London and the US to avoid criminal arrest in both countries. Also, Prince Albert was not in England when the ripper murders happened.
Princess Alice was the first of Victoria's children to inherent hemophilia. Leopold was next then Beatrice.
Hi there, just wanted to let you know that this theory has already been disproved and I think the documentary came out and they know who Jack the Ripper was
who was he?
@@zeex4904 G@@GLE it.
The Albert Victor theory is utter bunk. Proved conclusively so as soon as it emerged.
A lot of inaccurate statements dressed up as facts.
She used to coach it from Windsor to Coppins/Iver, she liked it in Iver. Used to be a lovely village.
Her granddaughter Princess Victoria was given Coppins after Queen Alexandra died. And when Princess Victoria died, she left the house to her nephew, Prince George, the Duke of Kent.
Apparently, she didn't care if "her" people went hungry, like those on the Easr End.
She was a pig on the thrown
Judi dench 🥰 is amazing
I won't listen to anyone who is not British talking about the history of the monarch. So many things that are inaccurate
Queen Victoria is always portrayed as a very strong woman. But then you read about “Mr Brown”, and then later “Abdul“ a man who had great influence on her after her husband Prince Albert, who also influenced her greatly, died. It seems to me that she let men tell her what to do the whole time.
No I think she just knew her role. You see this was way before victim culture
@@saltychips7627 Who said anything about being a victim?
You. Duh 🙄
@@sakuracardcaptor4709 no, I didn’t. Twit.🤪
It’s been proven Eddy had nothing to do with the ripper killings.
Queen Victoria was the 'head' of an Empire & relished in the sheer POWER of such a position, I'm sure but then i also get the feeling she was very modest & humble in nature, @ least in Public.
She gave birth to 9 Children & in those days, i'm sure it was a fkn nightmare to accomplish, so fair play to her.
The British were always extremely difficult to defeat throughout history, partly due to sheer hard work, organisation, determination, discipline & every soldier & sailor following orders, i guess.
Even Napoleon couldn't beat us in the Ocean, hence Britain ruling the waves.
The British Navy have always been a force to be reckoned with. (Makes me feel proud to be British when i say that, but then it's balanced out by learning of British soldiers in Iraq 🇮🇶 & Afghanistan, 🇦🇫 MISTREATING prisoners who were on remand & awaiting trial, hence innocent until proven guilty. Such behaviour made me feel very ashamed to be British, so i do hope lessons were learnt back then & our soldiers will only ever act PROFESSIONAL as they are trained to be.
Shame the Monarch's were always so corrupt back then, yet i guess having untold POWER is merely just a condition/flaw of MANKIND, period.
All throughout history, the majority of Men have always been corrupted by POWER & GREED. The ppl should never allow just one Man total POWER, as it usually end's in a Dictatorship, which is never good. Caligula (little Boots 👢) is the first Dictator that springs to mind & is a brief period in history that has always fascinated me.
OMG, wot my like gassing on lol. If you read this, your a fkn genius. Whoever you are, i wish you peace ✌️ & good fortune all the day's of your life.
'LOVE' IS ONLY THE WAY FORWARD!!!!! 😅
Back to this video-: I would of loved to of lived in the Victorian times, as i know full well i would be bang on that Opium. (Wow, wot a way to escape your stresses & strains of the day lol) The Government 'once again' ruin everything.
Well said 👏
@@nflux2971 thank you
Well to be fair they didn't have airplanes at the time and getting to India by boat would've been quite an ordeal...seriously for the Queen to be out of her home country for at least a whole year (round trip) and not even being able to find out (in real time) if she's okay or not?
I mean, you never saw King George III personally visit the Thirteen Colonies either for probably that reason.
I love how Hollywood portrays Royalty such as Victoria. She was quite homely by her photos, yet, the celebrities chosen to play her are beautiful. Was Queen Victoria Queen Elizabeth's great grandmother?
Horrible Histories....😮
Well, Queen Victoria loved her husband Prince Albert, with a passion, I think it was a wonderful, love, story.😍😍 All the kid's not so much, but Prince Albert was a wonderful, loving, caring, father, and very involved in his children's lives.🙂
Queen Victoria: you left me with all these kids, alone, aaarrrgghh! 😭
Funny how there is not one mention of all the money she made the royals with her slavery all over the world. She was a beast.
I believe slavery was banned during her reign.
I think the photo that thumbnails this posting is the one and only time, in hundreds of photos, that I've ever seen Queen Victoria smile, and frankly, now that I have maybe it's good that she didn't smile that much.
Jack the ripper has never been prooven , the name jack comes from a letter that was sent to the local newspaper, the murders did happen but who did them has never been prooved

Interesting observation here: Have a look at all the comments on here about Jack The Ripper; 🤔😂 here's 12 of them:
Prince albert victor was not the ripper. He was in India when the murders took place. It's been disproven by many sources.
They did DNA on some of the garments from the ripper victims and it definitely wasn't from any of the royal family members.
I think it was an American dentist living in England.

Before pax Britannica, Much of British India invested some 87% of their economy in war. Following independence, they seemed to return to this.
Since the late 1600’s the kings and queens of Britain were only figure heads, the did not rule or set policy, that was all done by the parliament.
And you actually believe that?
Lexcoaster, Starting with the Magna Carta in the 1200’s the power of governing slowly transferred from the monarchy to the parliament.

Sounds awesome
Victoria did donate £2000 for the Great Famine, but she was patron of a fund that raised much more. A bigger fault was a failure to restrict the trade in other unaffected foodstuffs, like every other country suffering the potato blight did, and also issues like a grossly ineffective and costly public works, followed by an effective soup kitchen outdoor relief only for it to be ended one year too soon in 1847. The blight had retreated, but the people who suffered had not the chance to plant anything like what was needed.

The whole Eddy-was-the-Ripper theory was thoroughly debunked decades ago.

but--but---but the UK monarchy is the epitome of kindness, fresh blood and forward thinking!!! :( :( :( :'( :'( :'(
Every leader ever has skeletons in their closet and blood on their hands
Your background music in this is a bit too much. 😕 great content otherwise 🖤
You didn't mention Queen Victoria's great grandson Alexei Romanoff who had hemophilia. His father was the last tsar of Russia.
I once asked a college friend of mine, who had his PhD in history, who he thought was the worst person in all history. He surprised me by saying Queen Victoria. If you look at all the genocides she presided over, it makes sense.
Why this article tries to turn her genuine love for Albert into some kind of nymphomaniac conspiracy theory I don’t know but it was (and still is) well known that she deeply loved him and cared for him right from the moment they met; it isn’t unusual for anyone that holds such sincere feelings for their partner/ spouse to want to physically express that affection
And this is in days before contraception. Nobody had access to it, royalty or commoner, and families of 9 siblings (or more) were not uncommon.
After his death she went full goth and not as a fashion statement but in mourning, wearing only black every single day until her own passing
She kept his nightclothes laid out in bed where he would sleep, and often if asked a question she would say ‘I’d have to ask Albert’...
If these aren’t indications of genuine love and affection I don’t know what is but of course with the waning of morality in modern times some people want to view this through the prism of ‘sexual deviance’, unfortunately.
Also: the reason for the 9 children? Their marriage was arranged (as per the custom at the time among European royalty - a tradition one could argue still exists to some extent today) and Albert, being from the German house of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was instructed to keep her pregnant as much as he could; this was designed to keep her weak and it was believed unable to rule effectively being constantly pregnant, as well as the fact that she was a female monarch which were believed to be not as capable anyway as men. This was entirely a ploy by the German powers that be to weaken British influence as a whole throughout the world and her colonies, allowing the rival Germans with colonial ambitions of their own to take advantage of weak leadership and establish dominance of their own. Whether it worked or not who can say, she seems to have been quite the strong-willed woman but in any case... Amazing but true fact.
I believe all you say except Albert's reasons for Victoria being always pregnant, I believe Albert loved her and their children very much. Hence so many pregnancies. and she lost remarkably few children. I have a cousin just like Victoria she deeply loved her husband,he died last year and despite trying she just can't cope. She dreams of him every nigh and still cries daily months after his death. Its really a curse to care deeply for someone. I'm sure Victoria was the same. When old. John Brown Albert's trusted Scittish Gilly came into her life.must have been wonderful to have someone who had been such a friend to Albert by her side.I am so glad for her,that she had some solice and kindness in her old age
She was also buried with his dressing gown as well as both their wedding bands. She had an affair with John Brown(a personal attendant) & she's buried with a lock of his hair & a photo
@@incredibleedibledez I don't believe she had an affair with John Brown. Her children used to jokingly refer to him as "Mama's lover" - if they actually HAD been lovers, it would have been no joke. I think she liked having someone to run the household and organise her life for her the way Albert used to do - she wrote in her journal "It is SO comforting to have a man about the house once more." I also think she enjoyed having someone she could actually talk to - Brown used to treat her as if she were an ordinary person, and I think that was actually a great relief to her, instead of the constant bowing and scraping. There's no doubt they were boon companions, and Victoria was very fond of him, but her fondness was that of a dear friend, not a husband. I don't think they were ever lovers - Victoria loved her Albert too much.
@@chooseyourpoison5105 you can have an affair with someone without it having to be sexual. She spent as much of her life with John as she had being married to Albert & I’d bet she adored him just as much. She mourned his death as greatly as she had Albert’s, every day until she herself passed away. She erected a life size statue of him at balmoral. Once he passed, She wore his Mother’s wedding ring every day & then had it buried with her as well as a lock of his hair & photos of him in her Pocket but she ensured they had her fingers wrapped around them. There’s a level of devotion they had to each other that is more resounding to me.

Victoria's face was something else, but what's even more shocking is how she was only 5 foot even... with a 50 inch waist!
Get some oompa loompas and roll her cocaine gum chewing self to the juice room.

Four feet ten inches, I was told
Her bloomers had a 50 inch waist but they were drawstring - it doesn't mean her actual waist was that big.

If that's true, how would you explain the advanced medical knowledge he had that the cuts were made like a surgeon would make them?
Perhaps, and he could’ve had some time in the army trained as a medic or a surgeon.. but it has been more likely proven to be the Polish barber Aaron Kosminski

@@brendaleverick3655 : I did. It was written by Patricia Cornwell. Maybe you need to broaden your horizons and read other books by Ripperologists who have equally good theories concerning the killer.
@@chynnadoll3277 I thought Ms. Cornwall made good evidence of Walter Sickert being Jack the Ripper. She convinced me that he was.
@@brendaleverick3655 : I understand, but I’ve probably read over ten books written by other Ripperologists who presented excellent reasons (and sometimes actual evidence) for their particular suspect/candidate. Just when I think “yep, that’s him”, I come across another book, podcast, or documentary describing yet another guy who fits the profile. I guess it’s better off not being solved and remaining a mystery ☺️👍
Now we know who was the inspiration for the Earth Queen in the The Legend of Korra. Right down to her hair.
When Ireland asked Queen Victoria for help during famine, she told the Irish, there are lots of grass, eat them. I heard this many times as generation to generation comes & goes.
It's only theory cuz he wasn't at the time there. The other theory is possible.
That diary entry was just too hot for me.
Yeah, Victoria was awfully into...well, you know. What I didn't realize until recently was how she enjoyed drugs (since at the time no one knew the dangers with many of them). She said opium-spiked alcohol gave her a wonderful energetic feeling, and even chewed cocaine gum with guests. Not sure if Albert did as well, but those dinner parties must have been quite wild.
@@thunderbird1921 no wonder Vicky gotten so big and fat in her later years. Cause it took 5 of her grandson to lift her corpse into the box before her funeral.
Albert was involved in the designing the houses of Parliament as well as Osborne house, and was key in the 'great exhibition' of 1851 and numerous other projects. He was certainly a very accomplished and capable man who worked very hard indeed and as Victoria began to become burdened and tired by her regular and repeated pregnancies Albert took on even more responsibility which I'm sure he relished. His unexpected death ripped out the rug from under her. Now she was essentially alone and her 'angel' as she frequently described him was gone forever. The enormity of it threatened to send her right over the edge.
i am no royalist but I got a lot of respect for good Queen Bess and especially Queen Vic they got their faults like everyone these modern women could learn a lot from her
The thought that Eddie was Jack the Ripper has basically been disproven.
The truth!? This ancient gossip clearly isn't fact, so don't call it truth.
Ancient? It's only about 150 years old chill
stopped watching after 25 seconds as soon as the ripper theory was raised....

"We are NOT amused." >:-(
That line always makes me think of my grandmother. She was raised by her much older Victorian era siblings (her father was nearly 80 when she was born) and she took on so many Victorian characteristics. I think some of it was intentional but, as shed been the child of an 18 year old Irish orphan (her mother) and a stern old Scottish man...she clung to Victorian behaviors to elevate herself. She married the son of Hungarian immigrants. My grandfather was a physicist and also somewhat removed. I loved them both and never minded the walls around them. They were both brilliant and so proper. I understood that they'd been through very hard lives. "We are not amused" was a line I learned from my mother when she was describing my grandmother's regal character.
The royal "we" lol
Well. According to an interview with Princess Alice of Athlone she never said it. She said she plucked up courage actually asked the Queen (her grandmother) if she said this. The Queen said that she had heard that this line was attributed to her. But denied ever having said it.
Ethelred the Unready. His name describes perfectly my college experience.
This is really harsh. She seemed like a great royal compared to what we have now. What's her grandson got to do with her personally. And she treating Abdul like a son. And I don't feel like the money for Ireland was her choice. Behind these things there are many protocols and advisors.
Prime Minister Ted Heath added 70 years to the moratorium on the release of the Ripper papers in the early 1970s. If not to protect the 'establishment' then why?
Vicky’s cray cray.
Why does Monarchy still exist
Why do you still exist?
Would you give up free food, money, palaces and wealth in general to live in a flat in Hackney? Don’t think so.
I call that plain rubbish! My goodness.
it just shows times were not much better 150 years ago....so scratch "the good old times"
Nope! I'm done after 30 seconds.
🙄Jack the ripper?
I love history were they just make stuff up. I once dipped the old boy in champagne, I'll never make that mistake again, pain was not a charm.
Prince Albert Victor wasn't Jack the Ripper, that was James Maybrick who stopped killing because he was hospitalized in the last year of his life
And people still look at the crown with fascination.
