Princes And Princesses Who Were Beyond Weird

Sometimes when you live your life cooped up in a palace, you start to believe that you swallowed an entire musical instrument. Some of these royals had mental struggles, while others were just bucking societal norms, but all of them exhibited rather strange behavior.

Who would you say takes the title of weirdest?

[humpy]

There was a lot of inbreeding between all the monarchies, that would explain the high level of mental issues.

[julianaylor]

Historic facts like these should be told to people who think being royal is somehow amazing. It can be no better than any ordinary life.

[littleme]

Wow, I used to think, we were all going nuts. So were they, a long time ago. Just no internet! We didn't know.

[leesashriber]

Fascinating information. I appreciate it. Some are just plain WOW 😮

[railwaychristina]

Charlotte of Prussia and her daughter Feodora had porphyria. She was the younger sister of the Kaiser and was nicknamed "Charlotte the brat"

[wandapease-giyo]

Alexandria Amalia’s problem with fear of dirt isn’t unusual, but the glass grand piano is going a bit overboard

[marvolom]

this video should be shown to people who think that mental struggles, being neurodivergent or homosexual is new thing

[renhoek]

These Leaders of the past are not to different than the Leaders of today.

[nicolehegarty]

I am so happy that you mentioned Prince Sado in this! I am Korean too. Thank you.

[lilyofthevalley]

I loved the *MST3K* clip. Thank you for that. It was an unexpected but always welcome surprise.

[pianoreigns]

The royals have always been entitled and depraved.

[Glimmmerra]

Wow, that was really interesting! Monarchies and inbreeding best avoided! lol

[Littlemouse]

Far too much and too much time on their hands while everyone else was too busy just trying to survive

[deborahberger]

I've been watching Grunge for a long time, and this is the first time I've found an error. By a strange coincidence, right now I'm reading the book "Princesses Behaving Badly: Real Stories from History -- Without the Fairy-Tale Endings" by Linda Rodriguez McRobbie. According to McRobbie, the police conducted an investigation lasting several years after that wild party, and concluded that Princess Charlotte was not the blackmailer. The real culprits turned out to be the kaiser’s brother-in-law, Duke Ernest Gunther of Schleswig-Holstein, and his French mistress.
Also . . . . What's so "beyond weird" about not being straight? Or not being conventionally attractive? Compared with a blood-drinking murderer who tortured her victims?

[CaptainAMAZINGGG]

I suspect also, that maybe the first royal was not as besotted with her husband, as he was of her, because she was a child.. ? 🧐

[keapixhoudini]

Surprised Mad King George and Empress Sissi were not mentally. Also so ironic that little girls want to be princesses, when in reality who wouldn't want to be a princess? Most of the time princesses lead a miserable life

[hildia]

Some believe Bathory's crimes were largely fabricated by a Catholic Nobel and bishop in order to take her substantial property since she was then the sister to the king of Hungary and was the crown princess of Transylvania.

[SnowWhite_]

1:54 His wife Marina is the Marina that Marina Blue (the color) was named after. Pretty crazy. 🤪

[rickroden]

These are the type of people lots of modern day people fantasize about being all classy and above the rest. but they were just nasty, weird people, no one special.
