TheJulianStephens I just mean that Orson cheated on her a bunch and, while things seemed to have ended up alright with the Prince, there was probably a bit of a legal struggle over custody, especially when their daughter was technically a royal. It surprised me they’d go the extra mile to protect her. They weren’t the messiest divorces, but still 🤷♀️
I thought the same thing but also this was back when women were quite literally thought of as only being caregivers and men being SOLELY the sperm donors when it comes to child care so I mean I wouldn’t think it too crazy to assume that they didn’t want the responsibility 🤷🏽♀️
Keren Dela Cruz Also a good point. I was just impressed by Aly in particular, because it seemed like he’d fought for some level of custody of his daughter before (even going so far as to try bribing Rita into raising her in his religion), and this trial could have been the perfect way for him to win back custody if he wanted to. The fact that he defended the mother of his child even though it probably went against his own interests is extremely noble of him. I actually just looked up a bit about their divorce and it got pretty nasty, so his good will to her later on was doubly impressive.
I've read that victims of domestic violence frequently suffer from undiagnosed CTE (the neurological condition boxers and football players get). If Rita was suffering mood swings and bouts of forgetfulness - she might not have had Alzheimers.
The Smithsonian did a series on American dollar princesses. American heiresses who married poor English nobility and saved their estates. Very downton abbey.

@@marille1694 That's not always the reason, while there are cases where the father doesn't want to have anything to do with their child there are also those that can see that taking away their children from their mother would be damaging both emotionally and psychologically.

Rita Hayworth didn’t have black hair naturally, it was dark auburn. The black coloring was to make her more ethnic, when that didn’t help her career they decided to go red.

I had to look into it cause I wasn't sure, but I think I got the name from a series on American Socialites who went to England to marry royalty called "The Buccaneers". It's also based on a novel by the same name. In the series, I think the girls were called buccaneers which is where I got the name.

Wow, Grace Kelly and Diana had so much in common that it's striking. Both were in unhappy royal marriages with cheating husbands, both are known for their charity work, both were devoted mothers and both died tragically in a car crash.
I think Princess Grace saw right through what Princess Diana was about to experience in her life. Too bad she died in that car crash, she may have been able to guide Diana.
Difference is that Grace Kelly passed away due to a car crash because of crashing to "quite a high" road to bottom due to arguing with her daugther and Diana passed away due to a car crash because of being chased by the paparazzi. Also another difference is that Prince Rainier III didn't divorce with Grace Kelly but Prince Charles did divorce with Diana on 1996.
The first girl was so beautiful & talented...it’s such a shame that abusive husbands & fathers were more than normal back then & nobody seemed to care enough🤢 also all of their husbands were so ugly & had the AUDACITY to be unfaithful ugh.. the 20th century was so stylish & aesthetically pleasing on the outside but horrifying on the inside 🙈
I'm malaysian and in malaysia we have 9 royal family from different states who take turns every 5 years being elected as Yang Di Pertuan Agong (King). So, in malaysia the Sultans will be the head of their states but take turns to be King every 5 years. There are also states that don't have royal family, so they will have governor. At the moment, the King of Malaysia is from the state of Pahang.

It's so sad about Rita Hayworth. Seems like every man used her or abused her.😓😓😓 It seems like she never found her happy ending/ Prince Charming... I hope she's in peace and happy in heaven...
😞it’s so sad. She never found happiness, she was just used and abused. She lives on through her movies and is still as well known 80 years later for her talent and beauty.
Of the three Grace Kelly was the only one with a true royal title- Rita not so much and Caroline Lee even less. She merely married a Polish aristocrat, she was never a true princess in the same vain as Grace.
@@faraway-2009 yeah, a damsel in distress trope for an example. They think disney invented it. but no, that trope existed for a thousands long before Disney. Greek mythology for an example with Perseus and Andromeda. Also I did watch a few Disney films when I was kid, it didn’t directly inspired me to become a princess, in fact I never wanted to be a princess at all. Also please don’t get me started with all brainwashing bullshit okay, I’m not brainwashed at all, speaking the truth.
Jackie and Lee had a very complicated relationship. Jackie insisted that she needed Onassis so Lee stepped aside for them. Later, Jackie's will stated that Lee would not inherit any of her wealth "as I have done so much for her already" which sounds like a trashy and petty way to treat a younger sibling who actually helped her when in need
Common dynamic when their is only 2 sisters… the baby ADORES the older sister outwardly, the older sister usually has a much bigger influence on the baby sister’s success than she realizes and becomes embittered.🤷🏽♀️ But when things are bad, they have NO DOUBT their sister is in their corner and wouldn’t want to trade a person to go through the troubles with anyone but their punk ass sister LOL I could be projecting though 🤷🏽♀️🤣🥰
I feel so sorry for Caroline Lee. All though her life she was in the shadow of her sister, her marriages failed leaving her without money, her sister, nephew and son all died resulting in another divorce, her sister took her billionaire lover and all though this she was able to stay strong and help everyone around her.

Grace Kelly’s father must still be rolling in his grave for judging her acting career, considering where she ended up as a result 👸 Edit: Never mind. 😕
My great great grandfather was good friends with her father! They went to the same country club, and my great great grandparents went to Grace Kelly’s wedding!
So excited to watch this! Thank u also for featuring Queen Nzinga. My daughter and I absolutely loved it. I’m so thrilled when I get a notification about a new video. Thank you again for what you do.
Here in Philadelphia we have Kelly Drive named after Grace Kelly's family. Makes sense that's where the boathouses are located and where college teams row. I had no idea her father rowed.

Really disappointed about Lee Radziwill comments. It seemed like there was more mentioned about Jackie and less about Lee considering this was about American princesses. Lee was the princess and Jackie wasn’t. If there was a story about sisters and their love and rivalry then this would have been excellent.
Rita Hayworth’s father taught her what to expect form men and how to be treated by them and she never fully unlearned it. 😞 As an actor, Grace Kelly’s father’s estimation of the profession really hurts my feelings. And yet....and yet...he’s right! 😭
Lee did not make the film Grey Gardens. She hired the documentary film makers Albert and David Maysles to make a film about her childhood on Long Island, but when she realized that they were focusing the film on her cousins, the Edies, she canceled the project and seized the footage. The Maysles started over and the resulting film was Grey Gardens.
Rita was an incredible actress with such a powerful presence on screen. It's clear to see in films like Gilda and The Lady From Shanghai how she was coming more into her own in that era and asserting herself. It's such a shame that most of the important people in her life seemed to use and/or abuse her. Grace Kelly was the closest thing to American royalty even before she became a princess. Her wedding gown is one of the best dresses I've seen. But her story reminds us that becoming royalty is actually a very gilded cage. That said, I can't imagine the survivor's guilt that Stephanie must have felt. From everything I've heard her children say, despite her unhappy marriage she really did love her children and influenced them greatly. And wow, I honestly didn't know that Lee was involved with Onassis before Jackie. That has to make for awkward family holidays. Still, she lived a very full life to say the least.
Being beautiful didn’t really bring happy ever after . These women especially Rita and Grace were beautiful yet it did not stop their philandering husbands to wander . So very sad .
Please Do *Disney Princesses* and their stories! I know your channel revolves around Royals of the world which has kings and queens but It would be nice to see some Disney Princesses and learn their story!
Rita Hayworth, was so beautiful. Sorry, to hear that her father sexually abused her. Gilda is my movie. Her story made me sad. 😭 Grace Kelly is the reason I love "The Kelly Purse 28" she was so elegant. Lee's family had sad lives, but she outlived many of the people that hurt her the most. Still very sad, though!
That’s exactly what I think! Such an awful life yet she’s just as well known today as she was 80 years ago on her prime, she was so talented and beautiful.
Wow, I didn't know any of that about Rita Hayward. So sad. Was there any actress from that time period that didn't have a tragic lifestory filled with sexual exploitation & alcohol abuse or a childhood background that didn't contain abuse & neglect? Jeez...
I feel quite sorry for the beautiful & loving Grace Kelly for her marriage & her spoiled children... resulting her daughter Stephanie causing her death.
Wow! This was jam-packed with information! I had passively heard so many of these names over the years but had NO idea about their connections or stories. I simply cannot wait for the next part - great job and thank you for all of the research!
If they ever make a mobie of Rita Hayworth life , Michelle Williams from Dawson's Creek should play her. She looks exactly like her if u pay attention to the pictures they both have taken.
From what ive seen and experienced within my lifetime... A man can have a beautiful spouse and if he doesnt love her he just doesnt and wont. Looks arent usually the main reason for infidelity
Prince Radziwiłł never gave title to his wife Lee Bouvier ( whos sister was Jaqueline Bouvier KENNEDY Onasis ) for She was not worthy of the title. She used this title but She never had .
Yes! This is easily my favorite video you've ever made. As an American with an obsession about royalty this one really does it for me can't wait for the next part...also I'm so using this for trivia question at some point
The title of princess runs in the family, in that she must be a child of a monarch or the daughter of a son of a monarch. The american princess does not excist.
So much tragedy and drama. Poor women. .I hope Meghan fairs better🙏 It seems Grace Kelly and Diana had something in common. 🤔Give me the simple life... that is hard enough.
Loved this video, thank you for doing such a great job on the lives of these American women. I remember many of these women their marriages and deaths, when they happened, but I didn't know all the back story. Thank you.
These two ladies had such a tragic life and tragic end, I didnt knew grace and diana met, both of them share so many similar, even their deaths are similar...... In this video is shows just coz u married a prince does not mean an easy life.
I was about to write that Stanisław Albrecht Radziwiłł was not a prince, but surprisingly Wikipedia says that he in fact had this title (which doesn't make any sense, since we didn't have monarchy at the time, but I guess they didn't care). Anyway, thanks for educating me! Great video, I didn't know about most of it :D
When they married, Meghan adopted the female equivalent of Harry's name, so became Duchess of Sussex. And the actress won't be known as Princess Meghan. Instead, her title by marriage will be Her Royal Highness Princess Henry of Wales. Since they no longer use the HRH title she is still technically Princess Harry of Wales therefore yes she is a princess by marriage.
@@anttwo "As Meghan is not of royal blood herself, she takes her title from her husband, and if she were not a royal duchess, she would be Princess Henry of Wales.

It's rumored that Lee Bouvier's first husband, Michael Canfield, is the illegitimate son of Prince George, Duke of Kent - Queen Elizabeth's uncle. If that's true, it would make Lee a sort of double Princess.

Being beautiful didn’t really bring happy ever after . These women especially Rita and Grace were beautiful yet it did not stop their philandering husbands to wander . So very sad .
Wow that was way sadder than I thought it would be
Please Do *Disney Princesses* and their stories!
I know your channel revolves around Royals of the world which has kings and queens but It would be nice to see some Disney Princesses and learn their story!
you...don't wanna know the real stories of the disney princesses.
You forgot Blair Waldorf!
Let’s not forget the Million Dollar Princess’s, like Consuelo Vanderbilt, Consuela Yznaga, Barbara Huton, etc etc
I assume you left out Lisa Hallaby. QUEEN NOOR OF JORDAN bc she is a queen not a princess.
Her mother was American. She will be in the third video of the series.
@@marijanewernsman6134 outstanding! Can't wait , thank you
This was very depressing. I'm glad my childhood dreams never came true.
Damn Kennedy curse!😑
GILDA!!!!
Thanks to Michael Jackson’s This Is It, I now know who that beauty in the black and white CGI video.
Wtf how can Hayworth be accused of neglecting her children if it was her awful mother-in-law that failed to look after them??
All these beautiful and amazing women getting cheated on and treated so badly my gosh
I've been watching the grace kelly documentary I love this 💕💕💕💕💕
Rita Hayworth, was so beautiful. Sorry, to hear that her father sexually abused her. Gilda is my movie. Her story made me sad. 😭 Grace Kelly is the reason I love "The Kelly Purse 28" she was so elegant. Lee's family had sad lives, but she outlived many of the people that hurt her the most. Still very sad, though!
Oh god they should make a movie about that rita haysworth. 😍🙁
That’s exactly what I think! Such an awful life yet she’s just as well known today as she was 80 years ago on her prime, she was so talented and beautiful.
Great video and so many beautiful strong women I'd love you to do a video on the dollar princesses sometime
Wow I didn’t knew Rita was married with a prince before. Whoa
I don't think Americans are any more obsessed with royalty than any other country, and less so than some.
I love your videos! They are so well researched and presented. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication.
This was so interesting! 🙏 These women had one hell of a life.
Its my Tuesday routine. And then I watch more of your videos.
Wow, I didn't know any of that about Rita Hayward. So sad. Was there any actress from that time period that didn't have a tragic lifestory filled with sexual exploitation & alcohol abuse or a childhood background that didn't contain abuse & neglect? Jeez...
Is there a reason why Carole Radzivill won't be included in this series of videos? She was a real housewife of New York too,
Absolutely loved this. Can’t wait for part 2 !!
Good video but found the repeating lines of the anthem distracting.
I know this might take up alotta your time and you don’t want to do it but. Can you please do a series about Queen Victoria’s Great-Grandchildren?
Patrick Kennedy was born August 7th 1963, I was born August 7th 2003, 40 years after...woah...
That’s crazy!!
🤭
I was born August 7th 1977 :)
The Patrick you are thinking of was Ted Kennedy's son. John also had a son named Patrick who died very young.
i clicked so fast LMAO i love your videos 😖
Right!! Such great videos 💞
Oh, god, poor Stephanie. I can't even imagine the guilt of walking away from that wreck. Weirdie, could you do a video on her, please?
I feel quite sorry for the beautiful & loving Grace Kelly for her marriage & her spoiled children... resulting her daughter Stephanie causing her death.
Stephanie didn't cause her death. She had a stroke.
What a terrible thing to say
: How many times do you want to get married?
Rita: yes…
xD i know
wait, until you heard Elizabeth Taylor's husbands 😁
You didn't include Queen Noor of Jordan
Maybe in part 2?
@@bbbb-db9gr oh wow I forgot about Hope Cooke!
@@bbbb-db9gr Angela is Panamian isn't she? She was never an American citizen, she just lived in New York for school and work.
Yep, the former Lisa Halaby.😁
The title is American Princesses, Queen Noor is... a Queen
Can’t wait for the next episode! I just Love learning new things. Thankyou for your AWESOME channel ! 💕👍🏻💕
WOW These women were extremely beautiful 😍😍😍
They all look like traditional princesses. Even into their mature years
Wow! This was jam-packed with information! I had passively heard so many of these names over the years but had NO idea about their connections or stories. I simply cannot wait for the next part - great job and thank you for all of the research!
Lindsay I love your videos and your voice is so calming to listen to while you explain the details of each topic
Onasis did not leave Jackie $150 million, she got $20 million as a settlement from Onasis daughter Christina.
Rear Window is my favorite movie of all time and Grace Kelly was a fascinating woman. So nice to see you covering her life!
Well, from the way that First Ladies seem to get this odd ceremonial role as Nation’s Mother, it looks like that’s America’s answer to a Queen Consort
If they ever make a mobie of Rita Hayworth life , Michelle Williams from Dawson's Creek should play her. She looks exactly like her if u pay attention to the pictures they both have taken.
Geez, every princess is so unhappy... it’s not very fairytale-ish after all.
From what ive seen and experienced within my lifetime... A man can have a beautiful spouse and if he doesnt love her he just doesnt and wont. Looks arent usually the main reason for infidelity
Confession: I watched this for the brief ellipsis about Grey Gardens. Thank you!!
Prince Radziwiłł never gave title to his wife Lee Bouvier ( whos sister was Jaqueline Bouvier KENNEDY Onasis ) for She was not worthy of the title. She used this title but She never had .
Really makes me wonder if women are ever truly happy in marriages/ relationships with men~ as so many of them seem to be such cads.
Yes! This is easily my favorite video you've ever made. As an American with an obsession about royalty this one really does it for me can't wait for the next part...also I'm so using this for trivia question at some point
These women just as today are so strong and loving. What an amazing history lesson, I enjoy your narrative video's. Another great job!
Wow, Rita's life is so sad. The Kennedy Onassis are just insane.
The title of princess runs in the family, in that she must be a child of a monarch or the daughter of a son of a monarch. The american princess does not excist.
So much tragedy and drama. Poor women. .I hope Meghan fairs better🙏 It seems Grace Kelly and Diana had something in common. 🤔Give me the simple life... that is hard enough.
Jackies iconic suit was American made by Chez Ninon. Chanel sent buttons etc to the US and she was given permission to have their patterns US made.
Loved this video, thank you for doing such a great job on the lives of these American women. I remember many of these women their marriages and deaths, when they happened, but I didn't know all the back story. Thank you.
They got their prince, maybe even a fairytale wedding but no happy ever after. ☹️
These two ladies had such a tragic life and tragic end, I didnt knew grace and diana met, both of them share so many similar, even their deaths are similar......
In this video is shows just coz u married a prince does not mean an easy life.
I was about to write that Stanisław Albrecht Radziwiłł was not a prince, but surprisingly Wikipedia says that he in fact had this title (which doesn't make any sense, since we didn't have monarchy at the time, but I guess they didn't care). Anyway, thanks for educating me! Great video, I didn't know about most of it :D
I need a 8 part Netflix series on the life of Rita Heyworth
I've always thought that Lee was the more interesting sister
Meghan was never a princess and the title she did have she lost it so she is nothing
When they married, Meghan adopted the female equivalent of Harry's name, so became Duchess of Sussex. And the actress won't be known as Princess Meghan. Instead, her title by marriage will be Her Royal Highness Princess Henry of Wales.
Since they no longer use the HRH title she is still technically Princess Harry of Wales therefore yes she is a princess by marriage.
@@anttwo "As Meghan is not of royal blood herself, she takes her title from her husband, and if she were not a royal duchess, she would be Princess Henry of Wales. "She is not entitled to be styled Princess Meghan nor is Kate entitled to be styled Princess Catherine as they are not royal by birth."May 15, 2020
@@anttwo I never said she's a princess in her own right I simply said she is princess Harry of Wales. Same as princess Michael of Kent is not a princess in her own right
It's rumored that Lee Bouvier's first husband, Michael Canfield, is the illegitimate son of Prince George, Duke of Kent - Queen Elizabeth's uncle. If that's true, it would make Lee a sort of double Princess.
These men had a lot of audacity to cheat on amazing women like this
