Every 4 years the Olympics draws the very best elite athletes from around the world to it’s host city. The games attract many other elites as well. From its origins in ancient Greece, to it’s modern revival in 1896, the Olympics has long been closely associated with royalty. There have even been a handful of Princes, Princesses and Kings who’ve made their way onto the field of competition as Olympic athletes. A few have even won gold, silver or bronze medals to go with their golden crowns. From a Spartan Princess who became the first female Olympic champion at a race she wasn’t allowed to watch; to games designed for Emperor Nero to win. And from a Gold-winning Greek sailor to silver-clenching British equestrians, and a bronze decorated handball player who won the heart of a princess. Plus two Princes who started their own winter sports teams so they could chase Olympic glory. Let’s meet the royals who have practices and purchased their way into Olympic history!

You left off the greatest Royal/Olympic crossover moment of all time -- Queen Elizabeth parachuting into the opening ceremonies of the London Olympic games. It was hilarious! Almost as good as tea time with Paddington Bear.
This is what I was going to say. The best introduction to the people.
Yes Miss Lindsey forgot to mention the Royals who have been present to open the games officially
The shade towards Prince Albert and his screenplay will have me chuckling all day
I think the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics was so spectacular! The event of sweet dreams!
Definitely the #1 of all time. Rio is a fighting close second.
Well maybe because I am Greek,.but...I think the 2004 opening ceremony was to the point of the ethos of the Olympic games and what the represent😊😊😊
@@bethanymargason8383 for me I loved London in 2012 and I was 16 in 96 but I've got a moving memory with Mohamed Ali..... My dad felt in tears when he saw him.... So emotional moment for him
I prefer the 2012 London opener. Pandemonium was excellent, watching James Bond escort the Queen, the idea of the whole lighting ceremony, just amazing!
Just watched because of your comment that was spectacular!
You're almost at 1M and you deserve ALL of them Lindsay! You're the Queen of History! And we will get a video of your amazing trip to scotland?
Marie Antoinette being symbolized at the Paris games is now even more interesting, considering the games were almost revitalized but it was halted for the revolution. Knowing and understanding history adds so much context.
Great to find out about Adegboyega Folaranmi Adedoyin on this channel.
That’s an amazing piece of Olympics / Nigerian history
Always looking forward to your videos every Tuesday Lindsay. Honestly, the opening ceremony of 2012 London Olympics is my favourite.
Love how you managed to merge the Royals w the Olympics! Great one :)
Same there is actually a lot of cross connection between Royals and the Olympics
Love that you featured both photos of these Olympians, and also the logos and years from each Olympic Games. Great job!
Love the Royalty & Olympics crossover!! Thank you, Lindsay!
A little correction on Prince Albert of Monaco. The story goes that he met swimmer Charlene Wittstock at a swim competition in Monaco in 2000, but it was brief. He then had an illegitimate son with an Air France flight attendant from Togo in 2003. When Prince Albert's father died in 2005 and he came to the throne, Charlene contacted Albert again to send her condolences and they started dating. In the 2006 Olympics in Torino, Italy, she went as his date, which is the photo you showed of them in winter clothes watching the games and smiling. She never made it to any more Olympics as an athlete but did become Albert's girlfriend, undergoing lots of dental work and plastic surgery, and getting married in 2011. Their twins were born in 2014 and they all attended the opening ceremony in Paris 2024. Albert has a large collection of all the Olympic flame holders for the past few decades, and he puts them on free exhibition in Monaco or the host city at each Olympic games. He & Charlene were two of the many flame carriers when the flame passed through Monaco earlier this month.
And how about his plastic surgery and dental work ... ? 🙄
@@OkieJammer2736idk why we care what other ppl do with their body.. if trans ppl can feel uncomfortable with who they are and what they look like.. so can people who want cosmetic procedures. It's none of our business really
@@CrustyUggand most trans people will agree with you
I was going to say you left off George VI, father of Queen Elizabeth II. However, George played tennis in 1926 at Wimbledon, and he opened the 1948 London Olympics but didn't compete in them. When you go to the Wimbledon museum, he is mentioned.
There is a long list of Royals who have Officially help declare Open the games at the Opening ceremony
Well done. And I really like that you also mention non-european royals.
Just in time as always Lindsay! Only ever knew about Princess Anne before this video! Love learning more from you! Hearth please ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gotta say, let Hubertus compete until his back or knees say Enough. He's not exactly taking anyone's spot while representing Mexico. Dude's having fun, maybe a little too much padding in the middle, but he's pretty much the "regular guy" in there, against peak-condition athletes.
Thanks for happy mammoth, L. Needed it and the timing for my own health stuff couldn't be better.
LETS GET LINSDAY TO 1 MILL LETS GOO GUYS!!!
I love that you cover royalty from all over the world
Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg is tecnically not princess of Denmark but of Berleburg. Her father was prince of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg. That is where she gets her title from even though her mother is princess of Denmark. Titles are not inherieted through the female line.
Cannot wait for you to hit 1M!
I m a new subscriber. Just love your channel thank you
LOVE this! Please do a video on the worlds fair one day!
Another Awesome Video from the Best😍😍
Love your content!
I've often wonder what Olympic record might have been if they'd never stopped holding the Olympics and we'd had 2500 years of competition.
Excellent choice Lindsay! You are the best! ❤❤👍👍😊😊
The Hohenlohes are a German principality. Prince Hubertus was born in Mexico so it makes total sense that he would compete for this country.
Amazingly thorough video. Thank you so much!
A lot of people criticize our french ceremony.... But a lot of us are proud of it despite our catastrophic political situation.... And of course I didn't like everything but in general I thought there was beautiful, even with the rain.... A lot of things are very great (the Eiffel tower, the boats with the countries, our Olympic flame etc ..... And of course Céline Dion .... I thought that in general people were happy... We can't please everybody but it was a beautiful Olympic ceremony ❤
I enjoyed it! Especially the headless Marie Antoinettes!
@@LindsayHoliday really? It's funny because a lot of people didn't like this 🤣🤣🤣 too "violent" but it's the reality of our History.... But the French are known for being big complainers 😅😅😅
You should be proud of your opening ceremony. There were a few things I disliked, but mostly it was the best opening ceremony I have ever watched. So many firsts that to me were incredible. The athletes arriving in boats, the cauldron being lit in a balloon, the Eiffel Tower light show, the mechanical horse riding on the water and then the beautiful white horse continuing on land and so many more. The highlight for me was Celine Dion. She was magnificent! I am also a very proud Canadian. Job well done France!
Harald V is my favorite story!!!
I like it as well
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
THANKS FOR YOUR FANTASTIC AND SUPERB CONTENT!
Please do a video on the Thai monarchy!
Thanks!
Thank you!
23:34 Um, I don't think Haya's son was the one convicted considering he wasn't born until 2012 lol. It would've been her husband's son from his first marriage. Also, Nathalie isn't a Danish princess, she's a Princess of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleberg.
Im so excited for the olimpics 😆
You forgot to mention that Aga Khan IV is also an owner and breeder of racehorses. He also was the owner of the racehorse Shergar who infamously disappeared, allegedly stolen by the Provisional Irish Republican Army.

Thank you soo very much for creating this Olympic Research and Royal Historical Video Content. This has been a very enjoyable 2 video series for me as a fan of your work on UA-cam. For at least 3 years I have been a subscriber to your Royal History Channel , your research and presentation impresses me. I have been an Olympics fan and collector since I was 5 years old watching the Atlanta 1996 Olympics with my mom and dad. I have gone on to become a bit of an Olympic history buff myself, and I collect Olympic Pins and other Olympics books and memorabilia. I have visited London 2012 Olympics for my own personal adventures , and I have recently returned from visited the Paris 2024 Olympics because I studied French language as well. I have visited Helsinki, Finland in 2016 and Munich, Bavaria and Innsbruck , and passed by Garmisch in the Bavarian Alps by Train. my goal is to visit all modern Olympic sites in my life. Video content like your continues to inspire my advntures. Your research is well thought out, thank you for including these topics on your channel, and I will continue to watch and enjoy. thank you Lindsey
Hi Lindsay! Love love loveee your videos :) Could you possibly make a video about indigenous land in the Americas (& around the world) before and after colonization? I’ve always wanted to learn more about this topic and I’m curious how much it relates back to royal history as well! Thank you
Hi Lindsay can you do a series for GCSE history for American west and medicine through time . I have been struggling with it and detailed videos could really help thanks. !
Thank you.
LOVE your history videos Lindsay! You're the best teacher there is! Than for all your hardwork! All those AI generated documentaries combined have NOTHING on you. Can you please Cover Maximilan I, he's one of my all time favorite Habsburgs!
Princess Anne is such an inspiration
I was wondering when you plan to create a video featuring the portrayal of Harold Wilson from 'The Crown' show.

Because Olympics is become a magnetic symbol that attracting various men and women to prove themselves who is the strongest , fastest and highest
Natalie is princess of sayn wittgeintein berlburg, not of Denmark
who else like Lindsay channell
I know the history of a Olympics thanks to Barbie in the Olympics
😊 royal championship.
Summer and Winter Olympics royalty took part in four years.
No wonder the Olympic games halted in B.C. cause the emperor thought the Olympic games were cruel to the scarification of humans until the rebirth of the Olympics took place in Greece in 1896.
It’s almost like money gives one the ability to pursue excellence by being free to devote most of their life to an impractical activity. Simone Biles was adopted out of a bad situation that would have never afforded her the opportunity to dominate - black women have been socioeconomically been shut out of expensive things like gymnastics and ballet and the first few generations to compete are of course crushing it. Lots of people would break records if money were no object. Things like running, which require no special equipment nor fancy trainers are the most egalitarian representation of excellence. You learned really fast how poor you are when you meet the university swim team that had pools on their high-school campus. Lacross? Field hockey? Dressage/equestrian? It’s already too late to get good at the things you just learned about - from being born in the wrong zipcode.
If you go to a reservation on the Iroquois tribe Lacrosse is taken very seriously but you never see a tribal member on the lacrosse teams.
Princess Merida vibes
Who is the guy second from the left, with the cool sunglasses at 11:22 ? Are there any better pics of him rocking the sunglasses? Where can I get me a pair?
It's Duke Georg Alexander of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, whose mother was a granddaughter of Tsar Paul. He and his brother who is just next to him, also wearing glasses, often spent time in Russia, so the photo is of them with their Romanov relatives. If you google him, you can see photos of him but he's not wearing sunglasses, they're just regular glasses, or more specifically, a Pince-nez.
You literally forgot to add a royal sipver medalist rajyawardhan singh rathore in athens 2004 Olympics.
Damn. No world record time in this comment. Probably personal best though. :)
Also ony a brief mentioning of Natalie
who else like Lindsay Holliday channell
Why do you make these comments on every video? And so many, and so strange?
It interchanges with summer and winter so technically it's every 2 years for us. lol
I was imagining that it was queen Victoria on pole vault.
Nathalie is not a Danish princess, but a Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg
princess.

Didn't King George VI compete in tennis pairs?
Did any of these really deserve their spot at the Olympics?
You said Charlene name wrong
Beautiful 😂😅
It is time to return to the original roots of these spirited games. Off with the clothes and back to naked!¡!!!!!
I object mylud ! Hieron was most definitely a tyrant, NOT a king.
If conquering the world is an Olympic sport, alexander the great will win silver and ghengis khan will win gold
Princess albert is so unlikable it’s actually funny how out of touch he is 😩 he has so many kids out of wedlock too lol
Phillip I of Macedonia!! M A C E D O N I A...not "Macedon"!!
