Queen Victoria's Great-Grandchildren 3/3: Grandchildren of Arthur, Leopold & Beatrice

Correction: Queen Margrethe abdicated in January 2024. Her son is now King Fredrick X.

We'll after 3 years of requests, I've finally done it! Here are all 85 of Queen Victoria's great-grandchildren. Among them are 7 monarchs, 6 consorts and 4 heirs who for various reasons never inherited thrones. Other were nobles and commoners who led fascinating lives. And seeing how royals from all over Europe were connected by blood during WWI and WWII is fascinating. To get ahead of the inevitable next request to cover the Queen’s great great grandchildren, of which there were 142, I will be highlighting just the subsequent generations who did and still do occupy or claim thrones.

Again when I hear Alfonso blamed his wife for the son's haemophilia it makes me mad. His mother warned him, but he was the king and wanted to get his way.

Ingrid hanging a British flag in her window in defiance of German occupation gives me an image of her hanging the flag up in her window and then giving the finger over her shoulder as she walks away 😂😂

[kendracrispin]

Love your videos. One note: Frederick is now King of Denmark, and his eldest is now Crown Prince. Other than that, bravo!

[MegCazalet]

Hemophilia is so tragic. Imagine the terror of any slight bump.

Seeing the slight error about Margretta still being queen if Denmark lets me know just how long you have been working on this video. Actually makes me a little happy despite the error.

[Tekirai]

I’m sorry! But ALFONSO (the first one) was TOLD ahead of marriage by the princess she had the hemophilia gene and could pass it on. He ignored it and then had the nerve to go shocked pikachu and blame his wife? Like sir you were warned but let love make you say otherwise. He perturbed me something fierce 😂

Bertil and Lilians love story is one of my favorite royal love stories

[kristi]

*Nazis occupy Denmark*

Crown Princess Ingrid: “Oh, HELL no!”
*hangs Union Jack flag*

Another amazing series lindsay! YOU'RE THE BEST! You spill history tea like no other! Never miss a video! You're the Queen of history! 👸👸👸👸❤️❤️❤️❤️

[chrisgeenadriver]

I assume that part of this video is old. It's now King Frederick not Queen Margarethe.

Charles Edward thought he would be able to control Juliana? He clearly had no idea who he was dealing with. Strong women run in the family.

I should note that Johann Leopold’s descendants do have a claim to something defunct, just not a throne. His descendants are the claimants to his father’s stripped title, Duke of Albany and its subsidiary titles. Under the Titles Deprivation Act 1917, his heirs to have the right to petition the Crown for the restoration of their titles, but to date none have opted to do so.

Another interesting thing to note, most of Beatriz and Maria Cristina is that many of their descendants have continued to marry royalty and nobility. Beatriz’s descendants are actually still nobles, as although the title of Prince of Civitella-Cesi is Italian, it was granted by the Papacy, which as Vatican City still exists, the Italian Republic recognizes the title, and her granddaughter Sibilla Sandra Weiller is married to Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg. By contrast, 2 of Maria Cristina’s daughter married Spanish noblemen, her eldest Vittoria became Marquise of Casa Loring and her third daughter María Theresa became Duchess of Beana and of Sanlúcar la Mayor, along with hodgepodge of lesser titles

Just when you thought Charles Edward couldnt be any worse

[ashlyle]

Impressive! You always hit all the nails on the head! You should do a video of King Christian IX’s great-grandchildren!

[davidringmann]

How about a video about would-be monarchs if their respective monarchies had not been abolished and their respective heirs? Or how about Queen Tamar of Georgia, Queen Urraca of Leon, Queen Isabella II of Spain, Princess Isabel of Brazil (heiress to her father's throne), the Queens of Jerusalem or Queen Joan I of Naples. All had very interesting lives.

[aiastenger]

Queen Margrethe is no longer the regent of Denmark. Her son was pronounced King a few months ago.

[lfgifu]

And so it ends- for now👀
Great work Lindsay!

[melissagirard]

So we all agree? Charles Edward was an absolute asshat? Could have made it into the running for one of the worst Germans at the time if it wasn't for the whole WWII thing elevating a lot of other contenders?

[trixiemattel]

Charles Edward is a horrible father to his children. Caroline Mathilde being Harnessed by his own father is so sick.

[dianeporrier]

Queen Margret just step down and gave the throne to her son.
