  • In today’s video we will be talking about the 4 daughters of Emperor Frederick III of Germany, Charlotte, Victoria, Sophie and Margaret. Their tumultuous life stories range from throwing salacious parties and entertaining much younger lovers to serving as a nurse during the world war and hosting dinner parties for Adolf Hitler. Their biographies bear many high and lowlights and we’re about to explore them all.

    So after Sophie was no longer queen of Greece, she left Orthodoxy and "returned to the Christian religion." What? Orthodox are not Christian? Surely you meant to say she returned to the "Protestant" religion. This is a flaw in an otherwise excellent presentation. Some might be offended by that mistake. Perhaps you should correct it.

    Thank you. I did not know much about the queen-consort of Prussia, Victoria's daughters. I have always viewed her husband,
    Frederick's death a tragedy for Prussia/Germany, as well as for his wife and children. Had Frederick lived he would have been
    a ruler who would have worked with Britain to contain the rabid authoritarianism of both Russia and Austria that was
    impossible to maintain as Europe entered the 20th century.

      Sure! I have some videos planned for the next few weeks, but I'll add the Borgias to the list and I'll see how I can create a series around them, including Lucrezia. I find her very interesting as well, also because she's so infamous and it's always interesting to shine some light on historical figures from today's perspective!
