So a wrong turn eventuated in millions of deaths

Poor Sophie.

One problem: her name was not Cecilia but Cecilie (CES-ill-ee). She was a beautiful woman.

Excellent video! Very well researched!

Would love to hear more of the five+ Bowes-Lyon cousins that were institutionalized much of their lives. I believe all first cousins of QEII.

Does anyone notice that Sophie looks like Sissi!

You have to love Franz Josef's rules and snobbiness about the marriage considering both his marriage and his's son's were complete disasters.

Damn, even in death, some royals are title snobs. I'm glad they're together at least. Thank you for this video! I knew almost nothing Duchess Sophie. It's good when all victims are remembered.

I always wanted to more about this , thank you for covering Sophie

Had Franz Ferdinand succeeded as emperor; he could have saved the empire.

The bowes lyon family descends from royalty they descend by mary and margaret tudor So yeah even if george v let people marry commoners they where actually related,even diana and camilla descending from charles ll's illegitimate childrens,same for meghan markle descending by margaret and mary tudor,and same for kate descending by king john of england

The great tragedy was that Karl I was keen to modernise the monarchy and empire (the latter into a sort of commonwealth of semi-independent states which would all have gained full independence over time anyway) - and would have if he had ever had the chance. Instead, he came to the Throne in the middle of a crazy war which he personally detested and tried to end. By the time it was over, the Austrians seemed to have lost faith in the institution which - as noted earlier - was fossilised, out of place in the 20th century and in need of major reform.

When George V and Queen Mary were on a state visit to Vienna before WWI, even the ultraconservative Queen Mary was amazed at how archaic the Austrian court still was in the early 20th century.

Awesome and informative content as usual ❤Glad you are back! Hope all is well

Some notes from Germany. The name of the hotel , where Empress Sissi died, is either ,Belle Rivage',,Bon Rivage' or ,Beau Rivage'.In late 1980s ( between 1987 and 1989), a german politician named Uwe (?) Barschel , who was involved in a political scandal similar to Watergate, died in the same hotel under mysterious circumstances. And Upper Class Ladies of Austria - Hungary had been shocked, and austrian gunmakers tried to invent small pistols for ladies.

Great new video! It's refreshing to learn about Princess Victoria, a figure who often gets overshadowed by Queen Victoria and her legacy. I'm always excited to see content about lesser-known royals. Keep up the great work!

...historien är ...tyvärr ...falskad ...👻👻👻👻✍️🤫❤️✌️🇫🇴

Great Video, she had a tough life.

I love lurning about queen victoria and her family.i find it very interesting.

Everyone should follow strict absolute primogeniture, which would change every heir mentioned in this video.

This video was excellent and educational

His father was Queen victoria's maternal uncle

Gavrilo Princip approved.

Like today, you never know the life of couple behind the closed doors… in every marriage there’s a problem…

You should look at the past and look at your future

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 look at life now she was great who cares about affairs 21st century everything is out in the open love Alice Roosevelt

I found a photo of Victoria Marina - Mrs.Kirby Patterson! She couldn’t find a job after Ww2- interesting story because she met her husband Mr. Patterson. Victoria measured at 6’4 and a very attractive lady. There was an extensive write up about her in an Ozark newspaper.

well"!!!

King George and his cousin? Tsar Nicholas 11 just spitting image of each other. Just amazes me. Strong genetics there.

So fascinating..and really, some very sad lives, and tragic.

Sadly beautifudlluy

No Royal People in Europe Ewerr bery hsppy

Beautiful Child such a sad life

Beautiful Child such a sad lifr

You are speaking of the Queen's parents not grandparents. You need to go back another generation for the Queen's grandparents.

I went to his symposium. The Habsburg descendants of Blessed Karl are some of the nicest, most gracious people I’ve met. Natural leaders of men, and I say that as an American. Great video about a great man!

So it does happen

I had the umeasurably honour of having had the opportunity to be member of a delegation of an Austrian monarchist organisation granted an audience with Empress Zita in the mid 1980s in her then residence of Zizers in Switzerland. While already quite old, it was impressive how she addressed each member of the delegation with some personal remark. My thanks go out to the person organising this, Dr. Karl von Portele and all the members of "Lutetia Parisiorum". I also had the opportunity to attend her funeral as a "Chargierter" of my University Fraternity KÖHV Pannonia. We got soaked in the rain while having to stand outside St. Stephen's in Vienna due to space constraints inside, but it was worth being part of such a historic event.

Not the mayor of Corfu but la Mairie de Corfu, the municipality of the island is the God parent and the municipality is an institution that doesn't extinct. It wasn't rare at that time when the army or a municipality could become the God father represented by an army high rank officer or the mayor. As for his other godmother, the grandmother Queen Olga of Greece, she did not travel but she was represented by her granddaughter Princess Olga, Philip's first cousin, sister of Princess Marina of Kent, granddaughter of the Czar Alexander II, and daughter of prince Nicolas of Greece and the grand duchess Helena Vladimirovna) .

Really, not good to look at.

Very interesting family. I love traveling to Spain. Salutations form, USA.

What a rich and unique history Spain has. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The man name was Ras puton like the one now puton

Slic to to sad

Glad I was never a princess

A saint? A saint wouldn't have cared for an earthly crown and earthly glory. He put the lives of countless men in danger so he could get his crown back. His wife became hysterical when she thought her husband was about to abdicate. He and his wife loved their crowns and their golden palaces, that is a fact. They may be devout Christians but earthly glory still mattered a lot to them. Karl was driven to an early grave by his own ambitions. He could have lived a quiet life in Switzerland but he loved the throne too much. Even Wilhelm 2 thought Karl went too far.

It is interesting that none of the last 5 surviving passengers lived to be over 100 years old. I know some of the survivors did live to be over 100, I was just expecting the last few to have as well.
