- Princess Marianne of the Netherlands was an extraordinary woman who loved freedom more than anything else. She was the daughter of King William I of the Netherlands. The Princess challenged royal conventions around marriage and chose to live as she wanted. She was a strong and courageous woman who divorced her husband when such a thing was not easily done especially as a member of a royal family.
Today we will follow her story.

Such an amazing woman. It took a lot of courage for a girl back then to be on her own, choosing one's partner and walking away from a troublesome marriage. Royal princess were mostly stuck in loveless alliances called marriages. They were merely pawns used in bargain for more power, wealth and lands. Thank you for sharing about her.
I really liked Marianne, and I'm glad you like her too :) Thank you so much for watching, Ambreen.
We need a channel for women and I'm not talking about Lifetime! I'm interested in a channel for women in ALL areas of life ALL races and time periods. A channel that WILL lift US up and bring US together.
Hear! Hear!
I like hearing about men and women. They are both interesting and inspiring.
There is her remarkable history on here
Start it.

Fascinating woman. As someone who depends on youtube to keep me entertained while I work, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you doing stories about the lives of these obscure but interesting women instead of focusing on Katherine of Aragon or Ann Boleyn. Keep them coming, please.
You are so welcome! I am glad you like them. I will try my best to find other interesting people to feature in next the videos. Thank you for watching.
what a sad story. And fascinating, I had never heard of her
Thank you for watching, Carola.
I find it ironic that you explained that being forced to marry was a right women lacked, when in reality both women and men were forced into arranged marriages.
Without a doubt, it must have been a difficult situation for both spouses. Thank you very much for watching.
But men had financial freedom and could still do whatever they wanted and no one would frown over it. Women were like caged birds in comparison.
Men received far less pressure to marry and were able to have mistresses without being punished + causing widespread condemnation. George I had multiple mistresses but locked up his wife for committing adultery after he did.
Shakespeare once said that there is no right or wrong, but thinking makes it so. I think Marianne made the right decision. Better to be with a man she loves, even though they weren't married, than to stay with a husband she didn't love, who didn't love her and was always cheating on her. Even though that decision cuts you off from society, if you don't care for that society, it shouldn't matter.
Poor girl imagine she could have married the Swedish prince they would have been so happy and have pretty children
Actually, Gustav's father had been deposed as King of Sweden and the family was exiled, so he was just a royal pretender. (He became an Austrian general.)
Princess Marianne is a rather obscure figure; I know many historical figures in different eras, but she has eluded my knowledge! Thank you for your time, your narration, and your content. I appreciate you and your channel and hope you go on to grow a steady following. :)
Thank you for your lovely comment. It really means a lot to me.
Patty- I love all of your programs. I loved this one quite a bit. Gives one courage.
Thank you, Patty.
What a life! Thank you for sharing this amazing woman’s story. Loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
At least she had money to buy castles
I think arranged marriages stink. I am proud of Marianne. Thanks for this video.
You're right Patricia. Thank you for watching.
@@livesandhistories you are quite welcome.
I can't believe you reached 2K! I'm so happy for you! One other thing I have been thinking of, you could make a video about Charlotte, Princess of Wales. Since she was the original heiress before Queen Victoria, and to think she would likely never have been born if Charlotte had not died is a baffling story to think about. You could check that about. Love your content, by the way.
Thank you ever so much for your support and comments. What a good idea, I'm going to look into it, for sure. All the best to you.
@@livesandhistories Thank you. I will be eager for it, and best of luck to you too.
Interestingly, Princess Charlotte of Wales and Princess Marianne of The Netherlands almost became sisters-in-law! Charlotte was engaged to Marianne’s brother, the future king Willem II of The Netherlands. Wedding preparations were already underway when Charlotte suddenly broke off the engagement. She would later say: “No arguments, no threats, shall ever bend me to marry this detested Dutchman.”
Love our bad ass princesses! 🥺❤️
@@noahnl8790 Very interesting, indeed. However, she married the future king of Belgium instead.
A strong woman . Really admire such women who took such a strong step
I agree with you Florie. Thank you for watching.
It's easier to be independent minded when you are of independent means though
It helps to be a "free spirit" when you have inherited wealth.
Wow amazing Woman!! She was so strong and had so much will power to not give up. Love it
She was, indeed. Thank you for watching Abby.
I decided to subscribe because I think that if you keep this up, you’re going to be big and I’d love to watch that happen. Good luck!!! 🤞🤞
Thank you so much, Michelle.
Having fabulous riches to accompany her helped !!!!!
I have enjoyed this Chanel so much. I can't wait for more it's so good to learn about these woman who are so often overlooked by history
More to come! Thank you for your kind words.
An interesting and fascinating piece of history. A truly individual woman. Unusual of the times. The pictures were stunning, fabulous art. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it, Christine. Thank you.
She chose to be Happy
Following Ones Heart to a better life great story thx
I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for watching Merle.
I was told she was able to see her children atleast at one time.
It is a Lovely Story for a Brave Princess.😘💖🌻🌷👑👏
Yes. Thank you for watching Pamela.
To go from a Prince of Sweden to a Prince of Prussia. No thanks. I don't blame her for leaving. Too many women remain in a miserable marriage for her family's sake and "because of the children." They often pay a high price if they don't leave.
Indeed. Thank you for watching.
The children often pay a high price too. (But don't tell Dr. Laura!)
I lived this sooo much as I do with all ur masterpiece videos thank you for posting
Thank you very much, Carrie. I'm delighted you are enjoying my videos.
Amazing woman !and so beautiful! I love all your videos!!
Thank you so much! Glad you like them.
Your channel is outstanding and your videos a bright spot in my day. Thank you!
Your kind comment has just made my day! Thank you very much, Ann.
I visited her residence in Italy, Villa Carlotta, named for her daughter Charlotte, on Lake Como a decade ago. Really interesting.
Thanks for sharing, Richard. It brings history to life, so to speak, when one gets the chance to visit such places.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you for this and I love your voice narration
Thank you for your kind words Aileen. I'm glad you liked the video.
Just found your channel very interesting story.Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Glad her son reached out!!
Yes!
Thank you
You're welcome
I'm sorry but I would never give up children, no matter what!
I would never leave my children. Only death could take me from them!
The world needs more devoted moms like you.
Not necessarily. Too many women live miserable lives and die horrible deaths because they have kids with the wrong father. A dead mother doesn't do them any good.
@@GoGreen1977 The whole point of becoming a mother is to be devoted to your children and making sure their needs are met, meaning you have to become completely selfless for their sake.
@@destinyclark4133 I don't agree at all with that, I find it a very backward way of thinking.
@@mariskavanrooyen4381 How can anyone be a good mother if their selfish? Selfish mothers will only think of their own wants and needs and not that of their children ultimately leaving them feeling unimportant and unloved. How exactly is it “backwards thinking” to believe that a mother should care about her children?
Nice but it would have been good to leave the money to her daughters so that they had the ability to make choices.
Why?
@@sash8099 Because women especially then without money was without power. Like her. Why wish it upon her daughters. They were probably forbidden to write to her.
What a. Interesting story !
I'm so glad you found it interesting. Thank you for watching Kirsten.
Why didn't she leave her estate to her daughters so that they had more choices in life ? Maybe they didn't try and communicate but they were between a rock and a hard place probably with their father and husbands.
The son contacted her despite being a man he understood. Perhaps the daughters didn't want to do anything with her. Anyway it's her property so who are you to question it?
Next life, these women return in the form of a storm...wiping out what or whom they wish.
❤️
🥰
Thank you for watching.

Sadly, Prinz Albrecht (husband) was a rage-filled boor who beat the Princess.
Her brother William 2 heat here , he is a real clown here.
Did she reunite with all her children ?
Did she go back to live with them ?
Insisting that some human beings are "royal" so they can be forced to marry whoever is chosen for them, have the religion they are told to have and do a whole lot of empty ceremonies instead of choosing work that they are interested in - that's a form of slavery. Most slaves are poor but some live in palaces. "Royals" are wealthy slaves who are psychologically trapped and often physically forced to live the lives that others decide they will live. "The Truman Show" is a film about a man forced to live his life constantly on show. That film looks like the life of Prince Charles and Prince William. Good on Harry for leaving that royal nonsense and protecting his kids from living in slavery.
Prince Harry is a Freemason. He's doing what he's told to do.
@@samsmom400 What is a Freemason? I doubt that Harry is one, but even if he is, why does that matter?
@@tracesprite6078 I don't know where to start so that it will make sense to you. When the whole COVID thing started, I knew something wasn't right. Since the beginning. None of it made sense. I started recording headlines and what was going on around the world since the beginning. Then I came upon some information that seemed a bit "out there" to me. And as I kept doing research on COVID and who ran the FDA, Pharmaceutical companies, and WHO organization, the whole money trail, I kept coming across the same information that led me down another place. Once you understand who owns all the TV and radio stations, grocery stores, farmlands, all the huge corporations, then you'll understand the secret societies, such as CIA, Freemasons, Illuminati, Jesuits, Skull and Bones, Bilderberg Club, Club of Rome, Council of Foreign Relations .... and more.
If you believe what is being told to you, then you're not ready. If you have know or have started to realize that you can't trust the government, then start connecting the dots on what I've told you. If you're not willing or interested enough to start doing that, it really doesn't matter. No matter what I say, you won't understand.
I have spent 2 years everyday, all day digging into all of this. One of the first books I read was "Pawns in the Game" by William Guy Carr. He was an intelligence officer who wrote about what he knew and published the book in the 1950's. Everything he laid out is happening now. There are many books that talk about it. I'm reading a couple of books from the 1700's that explain what they witnessed. We are on the cusp of something that cannot be stopped. Good luck.
The right way is God's way.
But who is anyone to say what that might be? Some would say to stay in a (loveless) marriage. Others would say to follow one's heart. The whole point is that there is no one way. We are all "God" experiencing itself through us.
@@mlr4524 The 2 most important decisions one can make in their lives are: To accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and who you pick to marry. If you mess that up, like I did, you're going to be in a world of hurt.
God created everyone and He wrote the manual to life. If you don't accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, God is not as you put it, "experiencing itself through us".
He said, "Do not be unequally yoked". If a Christian marries a fellow believer and follower of Christ, and both are obedient to His Word and His ways, things may get tough (all marriages have their struggles), but in the end, you'll come out better.
I did things MY way. I didn't grow up in a church/religion. I made over 50 years of incredibly bad decisions and I'll be paying for those consequences until I die.
Once I accepted Jesus and followed His ways, not mine, my life turned around.
That's when I met couples who were in loving, solid relationships who put Christ first and then themselves. I didn't even know that existed until the last few years.
God created everyone, but only those who accept Jesus Christ are His children.
A primeira feminista !
Sorry but the first cousin marriages are just too disgusting for words. Not to mention unhealthy genetically.
Self serving Princess to put her aspirations before her children.
She had a horrible life and that's how she had to escape
Are only women suppossed to care about children? What about the father? She wouldn't have left the marriage if he didn't break his vows and cheat. He had no respect for her.
