Yes, Charlotte had porphyria with poor muscle tone and weak contractions. Nowadays she would have had a caesarian. Margaret, aka Daisy's , mother Louischen was the daughter of Frederick Charles of Prussia,who, when Louischen was born, slapped his wife's face for producing a second girl. Louischen was a sad, strict, cold mother. Daisy married Gustav of Sweden, whose mother, Victoria of Baden, was a neice of Vicky's husband Frederick. Louischen's father was a cousin of Frederick. Daisy and Patricia were both First and Second cousins once removed of the last Kaiser.
@railwaychristina3192 Thank you. I never knew she had porphyria. Poor lady. She died in agony. The labour lasted for days. Claremont is now a school, so not open to the public, but I did see a TV programme about her. I am not sure, but it might have been presented by Lucy Worseley. She was in the room where Charlotte died. I have had 2 children, and the second birth was incredibly painful, but I cannot begin to know what pain Charlotte suffered day after day, and in the end, it killed her and her baby. Nowadays, death in childbirth is mercifully quite rare, but in days gone by, it seemed to be the luck of the draw. Rich, or poor.
This was not unusual for many women to die in childbirth at that time. No anaesthetic , no safe operations and not always clean medical instruments. We know so much more medically nowadays and are lucky to be able to look forward to childbirth without fear.
@railwaychristina3192 If anyone is interested, Google Princess Charlotte's monument St George's Chapel Windsor. It is absolutely beautiful and absolutely sad!
Things were somewhat better in the second half of the 19th century. There was anesthetic. Queen Victoria used it at the births of her two youngest children and called it "the blessed chloroform." Cleanliness was observed by those who could afford it, and the causes of childbed fever was understood as a result of Semmelweis' ' efforts. @@alanaw27
She was known as Daisy. A common nickname for girls known as Marguerite. The Swedish people were very fond of her and even today there are links to her in many Swedish cities.
Margaret wasn’t a sister in law to the Princess Royal, that was her paternal aunt. Margaret’s parents were the Duke and Duchess of Connaught & Strathearn - Prince Arthur and Luise Margaret of Prussia. Prince Arthur was the third son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Luise Margaret’s father was Prince Karl of Prussia who was brother in law to the Princess Royal, Victoria. Her mother was Maria Anna of Anhalt-Dessau.
@@joannemadden7449 yes, but the British Royals have titles from all over England, Scotland and Ireland. The dukedoms are peerages created by kings and queens in the past and when there is no heir, they revert to the crown. Later, some of those retired titles will be conferred upon others. Prince William has titles that are Scottish as well as English.
Thank you. 👍😊 I did not know about Princess Margaret of Connaught/Princess Adolf of Sweden (1882--1920). As mentioned in the video; she and her husband were married in 1905 and had five (5) children. Her husband Adolf (1882--1973) was the Crown Prince of Sweden who acceded to the throne in 1950. Gustaf VI Adolf's second wife, whom he married in 1923; was Princess Louise Mountbatten (1889--1965) a cousin of Margaret's from her father's side of the family. As stated in the video Princess Margaret's father was Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, the seventh child and third son of Queen Victoria. Princess Louise's grandmother had been Princess Alice of the UK, the third child and second daughter of Queen Victoria. She had married (in 1862) Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine) Princess Alice of the UK was the sister of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathern of the UK Princess Louise's mother was Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine (a granddaughter of Queen Victoria) who had married (in 1884) Prince Louis Mountbatten***, 1st Marquess of Milford Haven. *Louise* (the second wife of Gustaf VI Adolph) *was Margaret's* (the first wife of Gustaf VI Adolph) *first cousin, once removed.* ***Prior to 1917 the family name of Mountbatten had been Battenberg .
It’s nearly certain that the best doctors tried their best to save the baby. Unfortunately, since Princess Charlotte was dying of sepsis, the baby probably also had it, and couldn’t have been saved. We can be very thankful for living in a time in which Penicillin and other antibiotics can save us from deadly infections such as Sepsis. Sadly, they weren’t available to anyone at that time.
It is a shame that they didn't wait until after she had the baby. What a woman is expecting the only way she can retain child who it's not the same as her to retain these cells. That aren't exactly hers is to have her defenses. Way down otherwise everybody would miscarry. Because of this lack of immunity, a bit temporarily expected, mothers are so susceptible to all kinds of stuff. She was a fairly young woman. Encepsis probably would have been much less likely. Had she been at full defense strength.. If they could have waited until after she delivered the baby and a little bit of postpartum time and let her immunity build back up. It's much more likely that she would have survived
Poor Princess Charlotte, daughter of the Prince Regent and married to Leopold died an equally horrible death in childbirth in Claremont Surrey.

Isn't Connaught in Ireland??

Wow! You know your stuff. Maybe you should take over this channel as you give a more coherent narrative @@vanessareagan3497
Indeed. She's very lax with the facts.
Holy crap ,,the narrator and the way she pronounces certain words,its crazy ,
It’s awful, so fake.
Thank you, so lovely ❤️
@@PastPeople Not meant as a compliment. Very false.

Sorry you said 1985 Just letting you know
We share the same birthday.
narrator... son takes over throne aged 67 reigns until he died 19 yrs old in 1973........ how did he do that age backwards ???????
91 year old
She didn’t say 19

They could have saved that baby.
🥲
Thought the same.

“Country” Limerick? 🤦🏻♀️
The baby could have been saved.
she has measles and sepsis so, back then, apparently not.
It is a shame that they didn't wait until after she had the baby.

She/They had no way of preventing her death. She died of sepsis ("blood poisoning"), and her fetus may have died in utero.

Well narrated, with a pleasant voice.
Thank you!
Why are you talking in such a silly sing song voice? I'm finding it irritating.
Can always turn it off 🤷🏼♀️
@@PastPeople duh.....I did, clever clogs
Thank you for the engagement ❤️
Would you prefer a sloppy American voice? This is not normal English but at least this woman can speak clearly
Sorry,but that’s rude. No need to attack Americans.
Couldn't understand the narrator.
That is probably because she is speaking English.
I'm not finding any issues at all, the narrator's accent and diction are perfect, maybe use captions?
Bad echo
@@Odo55 I'll agree that there is a slight echo, but it doesn't detract from the content.
I put the captions on because the echo from her mic didn't do very well with my stereo speakers.
Need new voice. Sorry I can’t listen to this.
