    The engagement of Albert Victor and Mary was pretty much arranged. There was no romance there, so Mary was not crushed in a romantic sense. By the way, Mary had nothing to do with arranging the funeral.

    Far from it being a disaster, Princess Mary of Teck was very lucky that Albert Victor died before they got married. Not only was Albert very dim-witted, he was also riddled with venereal diseases from his disordered and promiscuous sexual life, so it could not have been a surprise to her that Albert Victor had another woman in his sights at the same time they were engaged. It was very fortunate for her, and the nation, that she and George were married and that he succeeded to the throne as George V.

He also told everybody they were stupid. Papers, letters, his journals and other he things that he had written at the time and actually his school work showed that he was actually quite Intelligent. A lot of things in this video are rumors that are being repeated. A few searchs more you find a lot more information back by contemporary evidence.

    Royals being their usual selves, not much different than the current one on the throne.
    One can't expect too much of them with their intellect, upbringing and health issues from the continual inbreeding happening in the Royal Houses of Europe.
    For many of the Royals, this state of affairs led to tragic results and the downfall of many of their dynasties. Their incessant squabbling amongst the other Royal Houses, insanity and bad decisions caused the deaths of millions of people over hundreds of years with their nonsensical wars. Good thing action was taken after WWI, dethroning and sending many of them into exile. The ones that remained in power had their legislative powers reduced or eliminated in an attempt to quell all the war mongering in Europe.

    As for Princess Mary of Teck, she was an approved fiancée by Queen Victoria. Her mother was a granddaughter of King George III. The familiar links made Mary a perfect choice for a future Queen. When Albert Victor died unexpectedly it devastated his family. George his brother was thrown together with Mary during and after the funeral. Mary helped him mourn the loss of his brother.

    You find it shocking that Albert was wearing a locket from his ex-girlfriend up until the moment of his death the day before his scheduled wedding to another woman. Yet the current King continued an affair with a woman right up until and through, and after his wedding with his wife, Diana. Moreover that “other woman” attended their wedding. so if Albert can’t get a break and have his reputation repaired and less scandalized, nor should that other woman.

It was believed to be typhus which was the same thing that killed his grandfather. Typhus was very rampant at that time and was a fast killer. With high fever, which if it didn't go down by a certain amount of time was it was almost certain death. 1 or 2 days is all it would take to die. Plus no treatments for syphilis were ever given to him In the time before he died it Or the years before he died. Which usually shows up if someone dies of syphilis. Mercury was never prescribed to him.

(This is one of the reasons that The House of Hanover became part of British history since, following the death of the childless Stuart Queen Anne -she of the legs - George, Elector of Hanover was the first in line, albeit a long way down the line, of succession to be a protestant.)

      That is no longer the case, since 2013, but a Catholic cannot rule. I also think this applies to a royal marrying someone of any, or most, other religions. I believe the Queen Consort, Camilla, was even raised in a Roman Catholic ‘household’ (her father), although she was never actually of that faith. Best of all one, of the acts passed would allow Prince George (+ siblings) to have a same sex marriage, like any other person in the U.K. Although consent from a reigning monarch, would need to be given (as with other royals in the line of succession require). I think this is all correct (my mother was very interested in all aspects of the royals)

Sadly l think Prince Albert Victor had an incorrigible demon on his shoulder, that wouldn't give up until the funeral. Sad for the Prince, but maybe it isn't so terrible leaving this world in the glow of fresh, young love.

(that is pipe tobacco sold in a tin with a portrait of Prince Albert on the lid). When they said "yes", she would reply "well, let him out!".😁😁😁
