- The nine children of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Since many of you are commenting on the children not smiling, I thought I would tell you the reason here. During this era it was custom for people not to smile in photographs (kind of like how we are not supposed to smile in our passport photos today). Photography also worked differently back then. The exposure time was long which meant that the people had to hold the same expression and sit still for a long period of time. If they didn't they would turn out blurry in the photo. Two examples of this are little Beatrice's left arm in the photo shown at 2:45 , and also, if you look closely to the right of Vicky at 4:41 there is sort of an outline of her which could indicate that she might have moved a little during the exposure time. So it's not just the children of Queen Victoria that looked sad, stiff and gloomy in their pictures. The majority of all the photos taken in the 19th centry will show people not smiling. Smiling in photos became more common in the early 20th century.
Because of this "no-smiling-in-photos-thing" I, personally, find it precious when they have slipped a little smile. If you're looking closely you can see some of the children smiling in some of the photos shown in the video (with or without showing their teeth).
Victoria "Vicky" 1840 - 1901
Albert Edward "Bertie" 1841 - 1910
Alice 1843 - 1878
Alfred "Affie" 1844 - 1900
Helena "Lenchen" 1846 - 1923
Louise 1848 - 1939
Arthur 1850 - 1942
Leopold 1853 - 1884
Beatrice "Baby" 1857 - 1944
Disclaimer: I do not own the music or the pictures used in my video. The video is purely fan made. No profit.
Vicki's descendants would come to rule Germany and Spain, Yugoslavia and Greece, Berties descendants would come to rule England and Norway, Alices's ruled Russia, Alfred's would be Yugoslavia and Romania. Arthur and Leopold's together would come to rule Sweden and Beatrice's descendants would come to rule Spain. I find it all fascinating!
Tell that to the people's who suffered under their respective rule. Millon.................S ☘️
+Alice: Uk/queen of sweden
Alice had such sad eyes and always looked like she carried some great burden, even as a child. I read a few things about her and she was apparently very kind and loving, showing great concern for others, regardless of status.
gabe 25 Yes. Alice is said to have been a very kind and caring person, with an enormous heart. She is definitely a favourite of mine. Alice was not the only one in the family who didn’t care for ranks or titles, though. Louise is also said to have not cared about those things. According to the biography I read about Louise, she was very kind and loyal to her servants, giving them gifts and standing up for them. She also didn’t mind if you broke protocol with how you should speak to a royal. In fact, she even insisted on being addressed as an “ordinary” person. However, if someone tried to walk over her she did not hesitate to use her rank. She was feisty, that one.
HopeSwe That’s nice to know about Louise. I don’t know very much about most of the children, but your video has made me want to look up some more information on them.
I personally think that you can sense an enormous and trememdous sadness in all of their eyes
It really must have been their greatest burden in life to be born to such a mother,and with all the pressure of royalty and politics....
But yes,especially alice given that she was the most sensible and empathethic child out of the 9..
She really just seemed like such a great and big Person surrounded by the dark bleakness of royalty,and the mental problems of her mother.
We often forget that these royals are just people,so its profoundly fascinating and yet sad to learn about their humanly side and life Stories
Hauntingly beautiful and so sad that Victoria's life came to an end when she lost her beloved Albert. I think in a way it shows in the older children's faces that there is a longing for motherly love and although she did love them in her own way, she was not really maternal and her greatest love was of course her husband.
molossergirl2 she outlived Albert by quite a long time. Victoria died in 1901, whereas Albert died in 1861.
@@johnherrington6611 I'm not sure if what he actually meant was figuratively speaking she died when she lost her husband?
They all look like Victoria. Wonderful photos. Beautiful and appropriate music you chose for your video, too.
coashddjj2 Definitely the eyes, which Victoria got from her father. Also his nose and lack of chin.
A few of them look like their father, to me. Vicky, Affie and Arthur look the most like Albert, his longer face and stronger German features. Alice, Bertie and Helena look like copies of their mother. The rest look like blends of their parents. But Victoria and Albert did favor(being cousins and all) Victoria just looked more English. They had the same hair and eye color, Albert had a little more curl to his hair. I find them all to be very pretty children.
Brittany Being first cousins, Victoria and Albert had similar features, and their eyes were one of them.
@@patriciabilinkas3911 Yes, both had the deep set eyes Albert's was slightly different but hardly
i think they look like their father. esp the eyes .. that same drooping sleepy eyed look, the girls are all beautiful
Of All 9 of her children
3 died before her, Alice,Leopold,and Affie.
The ones with the saddest lives were
Alice,Leopold,Bertie,and Vicky
The one with the happiest life was Arthur.
Here is how famous each of her children are
9.Helena, Lenchen is the most underated of Queen Victorias children because she is barely talked about.
8.Arthur, He is underated too, but commanded the canadian army in wwi and lived long enough to see wwii start.
7.Beatrice, Beatrice is known to be the youngest of her children, and the sweetest to victoria,she was the last to die.
6.Alfred, Alfred is known to be the duke of saxe coburg gotha, but died a year before her mother.
5.Leopold, Leopold is my favorite, but his life is tragic. He is known to suffer from haemophilia which lead to his early death. He is in famous birthdays as an Aries Royalty.
4.Alice,Alice would have lived longer if he didnt kiss her son in the cheek.
She is also famous for being related to the romanovs.From her daughter,Alix.
You can find her in famous birthdays as Taurus Royalty.
3.Louise,She is famous for being mysterious,and being creative.She married someone not royal, and live to be 91. She is also in famous birthdays,She is a pisces.
2.Vicky:Being famous for giving birth to the kaiser,Vicky was the eldest of Victorias children.Her life was tragic because the kaiser hated her and she died 7 months later after her mother.
She is in famous birthdays as a scorpio
The Most Famous One is Bertie
He reigned for 9 years,succedded his mother on the throne and make reform and built a navy against his nephew the kaiser.
The last grandchild to die was leopolds daughter alice in 1981 outliving her father by 97 years!
Thank You for this information as they are on my family ancestry tree.
Bertie didn't have a sad life at all!
The bulging eyes, most of them all had them to a degree.
The boys, when little, looked like victoria, when old, looked like albert
How would anybody make that assertion? There is nobody to whom one could compare.
Albert never grew old.
Ingrid Dubbel
Personal opinion 🙄 and besides 4 other people agreed with me
Ingrid Dubbel
15 peeps as of March 4th
Albert never got old.
57 including me lol
Alice looked so... So sweat, so naive, so pure and "weak" by that I mean, she was really girly and yet died so young... Its so sad
So young? 1843-1878
She had 7 children.
@@user-tm3jy6um3g She died young, and Prince Leopold died young too
@@user-tm3jy6um3g When a child dies before their parents, for me it means dying young
@@ebanydwayne4941
That's true!
Alice seems to touch me the most with that sweet melancholy, sickly look.
Fantastic collection. Thank you for identifying them by name.
Good job--pretty music and great photos. I've been reading about the children of the Queen and Prince Albert for 40 years and most of these photographs are completely new to me.
My great grandmother (Jane) worked in the Queens Court. And while accompanying a royal sickly child to Florida for health reasons. Met my great~grandfather. Whom she returned to and married.
That's amazing history there!!
Ah, how lovely.
Lovely and romantic!
That is fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
Yahaira Kuiperi Has p
Such lovely photos. Thank you.
They sure do resemble one another. Very enjoyable. Thank-you so much!!
What a beautiful tribute! The ladies, poised & lovely! The men strikingly handsome! I didn't know all 9 children lived! That's a feat in & of itself! Sturdy stock, Queen Victoria & Albert. And I mean that in the best sense. Captivating!
Wonderful piece - thanks so much for posting. Since I've joined UA-cam, I've gotten to see so many pictures of the royal family I had never seen before. Such a treat - Diane.
The story of Queen Victoria and her life & family is fascinating.
And very, very sad as well. All the children would have needed much more love from their mother.
Victoria was so cold towards them because they were in her way; she just wanted to be with Albert and she didn't get any love from her own mother either.
@@tanjawinter6492 so true -- i'm reading Edward (Bertie's) biography, "Edward, the Playboy Prince." Fascinating!
Tanja Winter No excuse, but her mother’s coldness explains why she didn’t display affection for her children. Having 9 children didn’t help either.
@@tanjawinter6492 She really wasn't "cold" - she took an intense interest in each of her children but like a lot of Victorian mothers, she wasn't physically affectionate.
This was a wonderfully put together.
Queen Victoria ascended to the throne in 1837 and was crowned in 1838.
In February of 1840 she married the charming and charming Prince Albert who became the consort.They had nine children from 1840 to 1857.
But the eldest of the two children had a significant impact on history.
Princess Victoria born in 1840 was the mother of Kaiser Wilhelm William II of Germany who started World War One in 1914 and later exiled to Holland.
Whereas Bertie born in 1841 was the father of King George V.Bertie became King Edward VII in 1902 and dying in 1910.
Yes , she wasn’t called the grandmother of Europe for nothing.
Excellent video! I have been studying Queen Victoria and her descendants for fifty years. Many of these photographs were new to me.
Beautifully done, HopeSwe. Thank you for posting.
They all had thier mother's eyes .
Deborah Kelly Sad eyes!!
@@titis4602 yes, they were sad eyes .I think the shape of the eyes and eye lids may have helped the sad look a bit.
@@titis4602 They looked bugged to me.
Dead eyes.... Victoria was no beauty
Actually they are Hanoverian eyes. Her Grandfather, George III had similar eyes and it has been passed down through the generations. Also remember so much inter-marriage between cousins kind of has kept a similar look for all these people.
They looked so sad and solemn looking
Because taking pictures took a lot lot longer back then nobody will sit there with a constant smile
I am watching “ Victoria “ on PBS . It’s a very good show
pbs shown make story tell true
Liked this video because of the choice of music alone. Five Variants is my favorite. But this is really nicely done. Her daughters ALWAYS look miserable except Princess Helena.
Just a comment on the photos and the music used. They are a perfect match. Very nicely done.
Thank you for an up lifting experience .
Doug Jenkins Thank you!
Beautiful children. Outstanding eyes.
I agree
Their eyes really have something unique and intriguing to them
Beautiful images & music - thankyou for carefully identifying each one.
Very beautiful music to put to photographs of Queen Victoria's children. They were very nice looking. Thanks for sharing.
That was a beautiful presentation. I am always looking out for new videos on the old royal families. Thank you so much
Lovely video with gorgeous music. I always felt so sorry for Alice. Haunting face ( and those eyes!)
Truly appropriate music and these pictures really capture what there thoughts may have been with what things may have been going on at the time. Very well taken photos and I thought I saw a very good drawing of one of the girls.
Really enjoyed this, and adore the music of Vaughan Williams. The photo of the children playing "campfires" was enchanting. They were most definitely loved... Did anyone else notice that one of the girls, Alice I think, didn't seem to like looking at the camera? Very shy perhaps. This video has made me want to learn more. Thankyou indeed!
Tourbillon 13 Thank you for your nice comment! :)
The campfire photo of Louise and Bertie is from when the children preformed a Tableau Vivant for their parents representing the four seasons. Louise and Bertie represented winter, Alice represented spring, Vicky and Arthur (the photo before) represented summer, Affie represented autumn and Lenchen stood on a pedestal which was supposed to be the clouds, dressed in a white robe and holding a big cross in her hand. There is a picture of all seven children in this play but I did not include it in this video.
I didn’t think of that. Alice wasn’t that shy. She wasn’t as shy as Beatrice but she wasn’t as outgoing as Louise either. There are some photos of her looking into the camera, but personally I think most of the time the children were told where to look while posing for photos. Some photos are more free and spontaneous, of course, but definitely not all. Also, it was more common to not look into the camera while posing for photos at that time. And third, it might also be my fault for choosing most of those photos where she looks away.😅
There are biographies of each and every child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert that you can read if you are interested about their life and who they were as people. I have only Arthur left to read about but otherwise I have read about them all. It is very interesting indeed!
It would interesting to see each child's descendants and who they are today. We know the Queen is from Edward's line. But what about the other offspring?
Rachel Green >
The German Kaiser Wilhelm was her grandson, for one
Does that help a little bit?
Also, Prince Phillip's mother was her granddaughter, I think.
@@carollopez8597 He is pictured with his mother (Empress) Victoria.
Rachel Green Leopold was a hemophiliac and died at about thirty. Alice died young, too. Then Victoria’s grandchildren started to die from diseases such as typhus and diphtheria. That must have been horrendous for her and the parents.
Those eyes... Some of them could pass for twins.
I love the music. Bring me back to their life
Beautiful display and lovely music. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wonderful collection and accompanying music. Thank you. Vicky's, Helena's and Beatrice's features have always struck me as being different from the ones of Bertie, Alice, Alfred, Louise, Arthur and Leopold.
Shelley Percy Interesting, they all look alike to me
It seems to me that their eyes, especially Vicky's, are less bulging and wider apart.
It is said that Queen Victoria was the grandmother of Europe because her children married royals of other countries. Wish you could have included who all her children married.
Sally Ann
They had so so many Children it would read for days...
this was a great start.
Sally Ann Too bad Alexandra, Nicholas and their family was murdered instead of given exile in Britain. Alexandra was Victoria’s granddaughter, but the Queen was already gone when they were murdered.
Sally Ann Vicky married Emperor Frederick III “Fritz”
Bertie married Princess Alexandra of Denmark “Alix”
Alice married Grand Duke Louis IV of Hesse and by Rhine
Alfred married Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia
Helena married Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein
Louise married John Campbell Marquess of Lorne, later the 9th Duke of Argyll
Arthur married Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia
Leopold married Princess Helena of Waldeck and Pyrmont
Beatrice married Prince Henry of Battenberg
Fitzroi Cheap novel? Sorry, the author has a Ph.D in history. It is based on fact. Otherwise why would she have done extensive research, which includes from the Royal Archives. I suggest you read before you leap and look like a fool.
Fitzroi Just by your writing, I can tell you’re a fool. Her children wed first cousins from all over Europe. Put it together.
Beautifully done.Thank you so much!
All nine of them 0:08.
Vicky the Princess Royal Victoria, looks so very daring to hope here 0:16, before she married and experienced the hostility of Germany due to her being English! Funny, her father had faced the same for being German, and yet he was a first cousin of Victoria and the whole Hanover royal family was German too, which only changed slightly with Alexandra but turned back with Mary the next queen consort after Alexandra. Vicky had an unhappy life, on the whole, her husband died as Kaiser before coronation and never was in charge until too sick, and her son (cousin Willy to his cousins the other grandchildren of Queen Victoria) was much too abrasive to put it mildly.
Bertie the upright Prince of Wales 0:30 changes with years, to Bertie the sprightly young Prince of Wales 0:32, to Bertie the chafing at bit Prince of Wales 0:35, to Bertie the slightly frustrated for doing nothing while waiting as Prince of Wales 0:38, to Bertie the by now patient and resigned Edward VII finally 0:41.
Alice the delicate one who married into the Hesse and Darmstadt ruling Battenberg relatives and had children who were to go on to have such key positions in the tragic events to come and further, but didn't even survive to see them grow up! Her daughter Vicky, Princess Victoria of Hesse and Darmstadt, married her first cousin Louis Battenberg from the morganatic marriage of her uncle, and was to be the maternal grandmother to Philip via her daughter Alice whose own life was quite sad. Another daughter Ella, Princess Elizabeth of Hesse and Darmstadt married Sergei Romanov, uncle of Tsar to be Nicholas II who married the youngest one Alexandra, and the third daughter Irina married the brother of Kaiser Wilhelm and a cousin - all married their cousins, all married for love. As WWI came, the first casualty was the cutting off of the usual rounds of visits and other constant communications between various siblings and cousins across Europe, especially those living in England - which included the Battenberg clan members - severing connections with relatives in Germany, and then of course the gruesome murders of Ella, Alexandra and her family, and other Romanov cousins and relatives. Mother of Tsar Nicholas II, the dowager Empress Maria Fedorovna who survived, was a sister of Queen Alexandra of England, while grandmother empress Maria Fedorovna was a Battenberg Princess of Hesse and Darmstadt, sister of this Princess Alice's father in law.
Alfred 1:06 who married the Tsar's daughter Marie, a cousin through German relatives, thus making a trio of sibling pairs from royals of England, Russia and Denmark who intermarried each other and were three couples, Edward VII and Alexandra, Princess Dagmar 'Maria Fedorovna' and Tsar Alexander II, and Prince Alfred and Princess Marie of Russia. Alfred was duke of Edinburgh 1:16, later Admiral of the Royal Navy at Malta. His daughter Marie was to be Queen of Romania, after her marriage with another German cousin. In August 1893, he inherited the duchy on the death of his childless uncle, Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. His wife the Russian princess Marie had, from 1893 until her death, the distinction of being an Imperial Russian grand duchess (by birth), a British royal Duchess (by marriage), and the consort (and later widow) of a German sovereign Duke.
Helena 1:34 the good-looking one.
Louise 1:41 had the most beautiful tiara especially designed and ordered for her by her husband at the wedding, the Fife tiara, that rivals the Russian and English royal tiaras in beauty and more. Wish the video had included a photograph of her wearing it.
Arthur 1:53 - 2:07.
Leopold 2:11 - 2:24.
Beatrice 2:25 - 2:40 the youngest married another Battenberg who was the younger brother of her niece Victoria's husband (son in law of the then late Princess alice who was her sister), and a first cousin of the Hesse and Darmstadt cousins.
These intermarriage of the various royal clans of Europe, not only amongst cousins but across generations and often with a sister marrying the nephew of a brother in law or an aunt marrying the younger brother of her sister's son in law, not to mention several intermarriage generation to generation so that people are simultaneously first cousins, second cousins, and more, are hard to keep track of without a 3D graph with multicolour threads to define relationships!
All five daughters of Victoria 2:43 - 2:48, and 2:48 - 2:52 all four sons. The sons together are all grown, while the daughters together are various ages, perhaps because once they began to marry and disperse across Europe and get busy with their own families, it was difficult to get them together in such a photograph.
If one didn't know, this could be any relatively well off family of the time 3:10 - 3:18!
This 3:35 is titled Leopold, Louise and Arthur - but obviously they are standing behind, with the group seated in front including their mother, the presumably new sister in law Alexandra, and a few of the grandchildren of Queen Victoria.
Alice and Bertie 3:51 - Alice the great-grandmother of Philip with Bertie the great-grandfather of Elizabeth, the current royal couple descended from Queen Victoria through these two siblings.
Bertie and Alfred 3:55 - the father in law of the younger one was the Tsar, and found it inappropriate that his daughter took second place at various English royal events from everyday dinner to more elaborate events such as weddings, the first place after the Queen being given to the Princess of Wales Alexandra who was Princess from Denmark, tiny compared to his Russia.
Louise and Helena 4:00 - 4:06, quite a transformation here from sullen little girls to pleasant, lovely young women!
Without more information this one at 4:12 - 4:16 titled Vicky and Beatrice is slightly confusing, because Vicky here looking so young couldn't be the first daughter of Queen Victoria, is this Vicky the Princess of Hesse and Darmstadt the daughter of Alice, making this the photograph of two women who were aunt and niece before Beatrice married the niece's brother in law, making them sisters in law? At 4:18 - 4:23 though, Beatrice does look younger, but not by much, so the confusion stays.
Alice and Vicky here 4:37 - 4:51 are presumably daughters of Queen Victoria, both unhappy in their life in different ways, their children and grandchildren going on to play major roles in events to come!
Nice 6:19. Before WWI, of course! Wonder how often they met after the war.
Jyotsna Gokhale They are definitely Vicky and Beatrice (eldest and youngest daughters of Queen V) at 4:12-4:23. Vicky would be approximately in her late 30’s or early 40’s in those photos, while Beatrice was somewhere in her 20’s. Beatrice also grew taller than Vicky (not by much but still).
Personally, in my own opinion, I think one can clearly see Beatrice looked relatively young in those photos. Just compare the structure of her face to the photo at 2:37 when she was in her 30’s. I think she looks more mature there. 😊
Jyotsna Gokhale how long did that take you to write?💀💀
Www
Lovely presentation. Thank you.
One of her granddaughters was Alexandra Feodrovena Romanov.🥰
Queen Victorias granddaughter Maud married Prince Carl of Denmark. They became king Håkon VIi and Queen Maud of Norway in 1905
Albert and Victoria were cousins, hence the genetic problems. Then, the descendants of their children also intermarried - like Phillip and Elizabeth.
No genetic problems in the family through their marriage, not uncommon back then for the rich and poor to marry cousins without any medical problems
I always thought that the hemophilia that appeared in many royal families had its origin in Victoria. The most notable of these was the son of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Of course, that may not be true, but it seems likely. Her children were married to royal families all over the place!
Sacha Owens Except that we know Egyptian royalty suffered inbreeding issues and then there is the “Hapsburg Jaw”.
@@sueheather5203 Hemophilia had its origin from Victoria, yes, but from her alone. It did not come from her marriage with her cousin. Its a medical fact.
The hemophilia didn't come from them being cousins. Victoria was a carrier, she would have passed it onto her kids even if she was not related to her spouse.
when i see victorian era pictures i think how much harder life was then. even the science was cruel. daily life even for monarchs was closer to the stone age. imagine all the horses and horse poop. the flies. the filfth. the stink. you want a glass of milk? drink it before it turns to cottage cheese. tuberculosis was so common, it was a major factor in world affairs. but they were a vigorous people. the desire to live burned brightly in them.
Yes, however one could drink water without plastic molecules.
Very strong resemblance to each other
Cousin married married cousin so all the dna were smilar
All eerily beautiful people especially Leopold. Alice always had a look of sadness.
Alice and Leopold are the two I want to hug and talk to
Well done video. Thankyou.please do one on the grandchildren and their marriages and children. They were connected to the 9 kings at the start of the Great war I believe.
Royal Mob is worth a read.
Some of those European "royal mobsters"
have prominent positions within international
banking and the E.U.

What is amazing is that she was the 5th Queen Regnant of England, after Mary I, Elizabeth I, Mary II, and Anne and yet the first to produce an heir, only Anne had a child, who died at 11 before his mother died. Both Mary I and II were succeeded by their younger sisters and Elizabeth I and Anne were succeeded by distant cousins, James I and George I, descended from prior Kings' daughters, thus the change in the Royal family name.
Fantastic ! Thank you I enjoyed it so very much
Lovely and so right to have Vaughan Williams' music playing so English (albeit that Victoria''s mother was German and her husband (who was also her first cousin) was also German. It was quite a strict family upbringing but they were able to give a good example of family coherence in a very traditional Victorian way which probably ultimately was to the good of the nation.
She was one of the first people to use anaesthetic to help with the pain of childbirth.
The life Is very short 😭😭😭😭, born , creces AND died 😭😭😭 , now Im 31 years old 😭😭😭
Enjoy
Wish Alice lived longer though :(
Karl Gallardo so as leopold
All her children were beautiful.
Really?
Somewhat melancholical features
It creates a soul emotion, when I observe past life in Victorian time. Mostly her family and children.
But it's a wonderful soul experiences that are very unique.
Having nine babies led to Victoria having a prolapsed uterus and hernia discovered at her death. Her doctor said she must have been in great pain for most of her life.
I know Sir James commented on the anatomy but didn't know that he offered an opinion about pain.
Put to put it crudely she was kept barefoot and pregnant most of her life.
The Northern Spinozist Exactly, and that was Albert’s philosophy about a woman’s role in marriage.
@@patriciabilinkas3911 Good grief! I really believed they had a loving and equal marriage. I also believed that Victoria enjoyed a healthy sex life, and loved being pregnant.
So Albert was basically a misogynistic fool that we have the Christmas Tree and Albert Chain to thank for? (The latter used to keep himself correctly ahem... "dressed" yes indeed that is where the term "Albert Piercing" originated).
Please do feel free to Google it...
Whoosh as the air flies out of my bubble...
There was me believing he was a great example to us men in such a prime era of Royal history...
Now I realize why Victoria did indeed flourish after his early departure...😳
Tourbillon 13 I just finished Victoria the Queen (Baird), an excellent biography that really brings Victoria to light...and Albert. The author waited years to get access to the Victoria and Albert files at the Round Tower, in Windsor. She states why she thinks the RF wanted to keep mum on her burial. She trusted only one person to bury her exactly as she wanted, and that was her physician, Dr. Reid. Well, he had his own files on Victoria, including her burial directive, and all that is still in his family’s vault. The author obtained easy access to that info, and when she presented her final manuscript to the curators at the Round Tower, they told her she could not include the burial information. Despite signing an agreement that she could not impugn any information she obtained at Windsor, she published her book as is, because Reid’s information was with HIS family. I highly recommend the book, because, yes, Victoria HATED being pregnant because she loved sex, and it seemed like every time Albert looked at her, she became pregnant. Albert then took more and more control over her kingdom, and she let him. After all, he was head of the family and having babies was women’s work. Her behavior upon his death is an eye opener. I hope you get a chance to discover that for yourself.
I watched a documentary recently and it stated Victoria absolutely detested her son Bertie and would say so to his face ,how awful that must have been for him ,imagine detesting your own child AND showing it ,UNNATURAL!!
HI
The reason is that she blamed Berti for her husband's illness and untimely death at 45? He apparently went to Berti's boarding school to stop him from liasing with actress. SCANDAL of course! He caught a chill and got sick. Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.
One can see that inbreeding played a part in their appearance . I could swear I heard duelling banjos ...
linsay ross Yeah , none of them look healthy . Good thing the had pampered lives they never would have survived in the reality most people lived .
They don't look different in appearance to anyone else. Imagination running away, I think.
Wow, this is the very first time I have ever seen a photo of the Queen smiling !!
Wonderfully put together! Thank you!
Have never seen most of these pictures thanks for sharing.
Kinda scares me how my mom named me after queen Victoria and nearly all the significant people in my life have names that correspond to those of the people (like children )that where part of queen Victoria's life...idk seems a bit of a stretch but I just think that it really is true when they say that when u name someone after someone else they carry that significance of the person that they were named after and the name itself, I'm just using myself as an example, I just thought it was cool to share idk
Ivy Ivy I know someone who named her first 4 daughters after Queens. The fifth daughter was named for her.
My dad named me after Marilyn Monroe. Not very happy about that!!!!
Yawn.
my grandmother born 1901 was named victoria. I named my daughtr aftre her and my husbands mothr., Helen......At her baptism registration, , the priest said' ah two queens , strong women...I never thought of it. But true
Beautiful photos....
Gorgeous photo of families.
Poor Leopold - I think he was only 29 when he died after a life of suffering.
Lynette Zozette suffering with what?
Shadante Smalls - Haemophilia, he was the only one of Victoria’s son to have it but two of her daughters, Alice and Beatrice were carriers.
Lynette Zozette well i gotta googled that, never heard of it, what is it?
Shadante Smalls - it is a disease that stops the blood from clotting meaning that even a small injury can be fatal. It is caused by a gene mutation. Usually only male suffer from the disease but females can carry the gene and pass it on to their sons. Males can also pass it on but back in the 19th and early 20th century the males who had it usually died young. Leopold did pass the gene onto his daughter who was only a year old when he died. She had three children including two boys and both her boys died as a result of the disease. Alice passed the disease onto the Russian royal family as her daughter Alexandra was a carrier. Alexandra married Nicholas II, the last tsar of Russia and their son, Alexei, had the disease. Because the whole family was murdered the disease did not continue among the Russian Royal family. When their bodies were finally recovered DNA test showed that one of the daughters, probably Anastasia but maybe Marie, was a carrier. It entered the Spanish Royal Family via Beatrice’s daughter, Victoria Eugenia, who married Alphonso XIII of Spain. They had sons with the disease. Also, as Alice and Beatrice both married into the German Royal Family it appeared in some members there as well.
Lynette Zozette wow thanks for the indepth history lesson i truly learned something i never knew wow. As you further explained it i did heard of that condition before i guess i never knew the scientific name of it. Big thanks for that.
God bless you🙏
Their eyes.. so intense and captivating.
Very interesting to see all the children and to think about what became of them and their mark on the world. Thank you
The close eyes of the Windsor came from other branches..this family are better looking. Came from Albert
In the photos they all looked so sad.
I find greater magic and tenderness in the face of the humble.
They all look identical. Strong genes.
Parents were cousins. So... There you have it.
The most astounding fact about this family is that all 9 of them lived to adulthood (barely half of babies born in the mid 19th century survived to adulthood, even in wealthy families, and 8 out of the 9 of them went on to have children themselves). Louise, the most beautiful artistic one, remained childless, though rumours swirled about an illegitimate pregnancy, but marrying a homosexual kind of hampered her chances of legitimately procreating. Vicky and Leopold were both highly intelligent and Alice was the embodiment of kindness, gentleness and humility. Arthur was Victoria’s favourite child because he was nice looking (she esteemed good looks even though she lacked them herself) well behaved and very biddable. Helena and Beatrice were worthy enough but dull and Alfred was a raging alcoholic trapped in a loveless marriage. Bertie took everyone by surprise that after a fairly aimless, dissolute life, lived in his mother’s shadow, he had a short but successful reign and was a very popular king.

Beautiful. Thank you.
What a beautiful family. I too would love to know more about each of the children. Time to do some research.
Oh! Their children are beautiful
Prince Charles could stand in between and he wouldn't stand out, the resemblance is amazing.
Exactly ! If you look at all the current (their royal highness') today you can see a variety of different ancestors in their features.
Victoria, George V and Elizabeth, each married a cousin, all from same clan, so of course the mould got emphasised. Alexandra and Diana were much needed fresh blood infusion.
Don't you love how Princess Diana's features live on in her two sons? (And now, her grandsons and Charlotte, the young granddaughter?)
@@DrJG9
william looks like her, But charlotte is the picture of her great grandma...the queen
The children look sad because Queen Victoria did not love them. She was repelled by babies. They look like extraordinarily dressed dolls, without a spark of life.
Thanks. this is su beautifully done. respect
They certainly could take a photo in those days . If it was replicated today , you would know in an instant it was fake . Truly a lost art .
3:20 Alice looks just like queen Elizabeth!
Omg the clothing is amazing, that's all a dream come true that none of us will never know about.
Robin Adams I know right?! There are many people today that sort of reenact this era when it comes to the clothing. They study and sew clothes from antique patterns. Just look up “priorattire” here on UA-cam. She’s one of them and she’s amazing!
@@HopeSwe this is so amazing! Thank you. It would have been a nice trait to learn how to create such wonderful amazing cloth like this. But when my grandma was teaching all of her grandchildren home care such as following patterns I could set still long. Lol

Hermosas fotos, gracias 😊, uno persona no elige a sus padres y que familia te gustaría ser.
Prince Andrews dtrs, Eugenie & Beatrice bears Great resemblance to Queen Victoria & her Children.
Eugenie looks like Andrew, Beatrice looks like Sarah.
But just compare the young Princess Elizabeth to the young Princess Alice. They have a lot in common.
Das muss eine tieftraurige Zeit gewesen sein.
Sad when you hear in her bios that she did not really like pregnancy or much of motherhood, which she was also not good. I love motherhood and am that sad that at 3 kids I am done, due to both personal and planetary resources, but am glad that women who don’t want motherhood aren’t forced into it by culture, which is bad for all.
mlisaj1111 I love babies hated being pregnant.
A nice looking family from the beginning to end.
Queen Victoria is really the Mother of Europe. She populated the royal houses of many European countries including Russia.
They all look so sad
Sheila Gaskell just what I thought.
It wasn't customary to smile in photos. They might have to stand or sit for hours while the photo was taken.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Prince Philip looks just like mother Princess Alice. A remarkable woman in her own rite.
The daughter of Queen Victoria called Alice was his great grandmother, his grandmother was her daughter Victoria and her daughter was also Alice and was the mother of Prince Phillip.
@@sachaowens3827 Then Alice the Granddaughter, mother of Philip was emotionally unstable then. His mother was known to have had a break down. I feel for anyone of this time period with depression. We have meds today. Back then it was a horrible, I am sure.
It was lovely seeing them from young children to old men and women except Leopold who died youn fantastic video.
Christine Conroy and for the girls except alice
they had a very loving and not distant father in prince albert.
Lovely photographs.
So serious! Wonderful to have these pieces of history
Those children never seem to be smiling, so sad.
Luczáti Ljubov Back then you were told not to smile in picture
Wonderful❤ Time travelling, love it❤❤
Did you include her daughter, who was black. She was a Princess and beautiful. There is a picture of her as a stately young woman.
She did not have a black daughter, please read your history on Victoria before making stupid comments
Lizzie Sangi Sara Forbes Bonetta was an african Princess who was rescued and brought to England as a “present” for Queen Victoria. Actually Queen Victoria became Sara’s Godmother and sponsor and paid for all Sara’s expenses and saw to her welfare, but she did not adopt her. Sara was raised in the British middle class, but visited court sometimes and even attended Princess Alice’s wedding, however she spent a lot of time in Africa due to her declining health. So no, she did not live with the royal family and she was not Queen Victoria’s adoptive daughter, she was Queen Victoria’s godchild.
