It is wonderful to finally learn the history behind the photos one has seen and who is who in them! Thank you! During this trip Edward heard OTMA 's Irish accent when speaking English. They attained it from their Irish nanny, Margaretta Eagar. Uncle Bertie was not pleased. Margaretta had already left royal service in 1904, so the blame fell on the children 's English tutor. But it must of been amazing for him to hear them! 😂
I would like to see a primary source with respect to OTMA's alleged Irish accent. English was their L2. They didn't grow up in Ireland. They grew up in Russia. Even with an Irish teacher, their first language was Russian.
@@davidjonathangudlaugson4768 Indeed, but for six years they had an Irish nanny Margaretta Eagar, and naturally emulated her when speaking English. A nanny is more than a teacher. They were with her just about every waking hour, speaking English, since she spoke not a word of Russian. Apparently they also spoke English to their mother. I read about this years ago and that Irish accent annoying King Edward, was the reason their first English tutor, before Gibbs, was sacked.
@@blessOTMA Perhaps the ironic thing about this story was that Ms Eagar was a protestant, whose family would originally have been of English extraction and would have identified more as anglo Irish than Irish. She even trained to be a nurse and worked in Belfast - a city which at that time looked more to the British Empire than anywhere else. Do you mean that the children's first tutor also Irish or that he didn't try to correct their accents?
@@emcc8598 I believe he did not try to change their accent and concentrated on the reading and writing of English. It perhaps wasn't a priority or thought a problem. But became one when the King was not feeling well and the accent annoyed him. It would interesting to see if there were extra Irish "troubles " at that time and he was set off. It's fascinating because even if your family had been in Ireland for generations, one can feel English or Scottish if you are of that lineage. But elsewhere in the world, you would be seen as simply Irish. The distinctions are less finely drawn.
When the narrator said King Edward VII visited his nephew Tsar Nicholas II, my first thought, oh yes, because he's married to Empress Alix, the daughter of Princess Alice, King Edward VII's sister. But then I also realized, King Edward VII married Queen Alexandra, Empress Maria's sister, who's the mother of Tsar Nicholas II... Wow, what a close relationship...
Gosh, the pictures were really clear and sharp on a lot of these. I wonder what colorization would do, however I rather appreciate these were original. thanks for all you do.
Tsarina Alexandra the wife of Tsar Nicholas is also related to King Edward too, the Russian couples are his Nephew and niece. This video is very interesting.
I have this heartbroken everytime i saw video about the Romanov. it brraks my heart into piece. because they are all beautiful and they dont deserve to die like that!.😭😭😭😭
Wonderful to see! And I agree, to have those in the clips/photographs properly identified is a great bonus. I'm hoping that someone will do an in-depth posting on the Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna and Queen Alexandra: they were certainly more than just royal fashion plates. Thank you so much for sharing this insightful and informative posting with us.
As the ladies still wore their hats, the meal must have been what they called luncheon not dinner, as dinner was an evening meal at which they dressed in evening wear and tiaras
Gorgeous and info-packed as ever. Thank you so much. Just a thought here, I find it so sad that having been an abused and underappreciated intellectually as his own childhood had been, Edward VII had neither the empathy nor compassion to recognize those same damage scars in the behavior of his nephew Wilhelm II and neither had George V. So heartbreaking considered in context of how much the relationships of the Tsar, the Kaiser & Kings Edward and George plunged the world into its now so rapidly darkening age.
The King was not an absolute ruler and had nothing to do with the Romanov decision, that would be the British government. A Constatutional- Monarchy. However, the Tsars mother, sister of Queen Alexandria, and one of her daughters were picked up by a British Battleship. IF only the French and Russian Royal families had adapted over time there would not have been revolutions. GET AN EDUCATION.! Why do you think the British Royal Family is still around today unlike all the monarchies that were and ain't no more?
@@riyadougla539 The British Royal family had adapted to being a Constitutional-Monarchy unlike the French and Russians who refused to change from an Absolute -Monarchy and ended up dead due to revolution. Serfdom had only ended in the previous Tsar's reign. In Britain it ended after the Middle Ages.
The Tsar and Tsarina were related to almost all European royal monarchies. Any one of them could have offered exile. To put the blame all on the UK is unfair. Besides it’s said that the Tsar and his family did not want to leave Russia. No one could have foreseen the tragedy that followed. WWI was the end of the 19th century lifestyle.
Would have been interesting to have been there. You have the official speech which sounds friendly enough, but I wonder how it was once they got the formalities out of the way.

Treasure of a video. I really wonder about the fate of The Romanov's had King Edward Vll lived another ten years. King Edward Vll, so regal and hearty wasn't as self conscious as his son King George V. Prince Charles is a Scorpio as was King Edward Vll and both destined to live short reigns and Camilla is descended from Alice Keppel, Edward's lover. It is in Prince Charles to go all out to help The Tibetans score back their native lands and so it may have been in King Edward Vll to have provided ready help for The Tsar and his family. Different times for sure back then.
Amazing photographs and film. A glimpse into the past. A little disappointed to hear the commentary describe Edward both as King of England and British monarch, as if English and British were interchangeable; which of course is not the case. This error is so hurtful to those of us living in other parts of the UK, but not in England. So divisive, so wrong, so hurtful. It is not even necessary to designate a location where THE king comes from. Please get things right in future out of consideration for all British subjects from all corners of the UK.
I believe the titles were different then yes? For example at times England and Ireland. The England Ireland and Scotland and so forth. So maybe that's what they meant?
Increible imaginar lo que sucederia 7 años despues, un conflicto de proporciones inimaginables y las potencias enfrentadas en una carniceria jamas vista.

@@RomanovRoyalMartyrs Olga, Queen of Greece was the daughter of Grand Duke Constantine Nikolaevich of Russia and Princess Alexandra of Saxe-Altenburg. She married George I of Greece in 1867. Marie brother was George I of Greece, Alexandra, Queen of England, Thyra, Crown Princess of Hanover, Frederick VIII of Denmark and Prince Valdemar. I can find no reference to Marie and Alexandra having another sister named Olga.
King Edward , on this visit , warned Nicholas what would happen to the Romanovs , if Nicholas refused to give the Russians a constitution . He warned him! He also warned Tsar Nicholas that time had run out. His exact words were : " I know you have the courage , if only you had the time".
Yes, her mother was Princess Alice, Edward's younger sister. The sister, Alexandra, of the Tsar's mother, Maria, was married to King Edward VII, so he was also the Tsar's Uncle by marriage. Two two sisters were the daughters of King Christian IX of Denmark and the brother of then current King, Frederick VIII.
Dear Romanov Royal martyrs, thank you so much for the fun and informative videos you’ve have produced. I can see you work very carefully with heart and soul and perceiving us the much needed information on the Tsar and his family. However I want to share a few questions that I want to ask you. The first thing of the matter is the videos that you made lately. Tho informative I have to say that the voice over, including this one, sounds very mechanical and not very natural and that puts me a little bit off. I am sure the voice over job is very hard to do. But if you can make it less robotic, I think I and maybe others will enjoy it a bit more. Can you maybe do that? Is that possible? The second is question is how do you pronounce OTMAA and especially Anastasia’s name? In quite a few videos you’ve pronounced it differently. I can’t find the video but it was about the children visiting, working, nursing and helping the wounded soldiers in their hospitals. Romanov sisters angels of mercy? (Which was a lovely video with a sweet voice over. Where is it now?) And the last but not least question is why did you removed some videos? Are you perhaps to improve or ad on those videos? With kind regards, I really hope that you answer me questions.

To answer your questions: 1) We have not received any complaints about the narration of our videos and we trust that our viewers are satisfied with what we produce.

The stress for the names of the Romanov children are as follows (capital letter stressed): - Olga - tatiAana - marIa - anastasIa - alexEi Note: When writing in English, Alexei wrote his name in its English version: Alexis. 3) Some videos have been removed and re-produced either combined or in new version.

Please do not mistake English and British. Not interchangeable terms. None of the Royal totles describes the British Kings or Queens with '..of England'! Check Google and see!
@@carolannemckenzie3849 She did, at least as personal as can be expected. In her memoir she wished to enlist but was declined, undeterred she met with the local governor whom she had first met when she was exiled with her second husband and was able to get a telegram through that way. Nicholas simply gave an executive order and it's never addressed with him again - it's not uncommon though, even according to this channel citizens would reach out to him for things such as name changes as well.
@@carolannemckenzie3849 Her story really is impressive - married at 15, heavily abused, dotted with suicide and murder, war, being a woman - so full was her life she met with President Wilson in 1918
Lovely film clip but what’s this second son bit re GD Michael. You have forgotten about a George. He may have been dead but he was still the second son.
This meeting caused the spark of the young Turk revolution 1908 as rumours spread that the two kings were going to divide up Macedonia. The revolution leads to the Bosnian crises 1908 and the Bulgarian independence, which causes damage between European powers which one by one lead to another like the Balkan wars 1912-1913 which finally leads to the Great War 1914
It was terrible that their family in England let the Russian Czar and his family be killed like that. When coincidentally the royal family was actually German. So they weren't free of sin either
As though I desire only heavenly peace for the Russian royal family, may peace be upon Them, it wasn't entirely the British royal family's fault. They had invited Nicholas but no longer could with the war situation and the likelihood of rebellion in Britain after inviting the Czar. It's not to say that the British and German royal families were not utterly horrified by the death of the Czar and the deposition of the Kaiser.
Had the Kaiser not facilitated sending Lenin into Russia in 1917, his Russian relatives may not have come to such a terrible end. Then again I don’t know how much power these “kings” really had. Same with George. Could he have saved them, or was it the British govt that pulled the strings. I’m reminded in this of the Nicky-Willy telegrams in late July 1914 trying to row back on mobilization at the last minute. It’s said that the Tsar tried to get on the line to one of his generals to stop everything but the general in question cut the line because he knew it would stop the war. The German generals also seemingly misled the Kaiser with what was going on.
Also, King George V, first cousin to both the Tsarina and Tsar, was a Constitutional monarch and the real power was with the Prime Minister. He felt that the Tsar represented the old order and would cause political ramifications if he let them in.
King Edward has a look alike image in Clark cubic bay along with my picture with hiding boy behind but don't remember the girl arm in my shoulder???. 1981.
Please someone explain to me,why Tsar Nicholas ll & King George 5th look like brothers ????? I know they are cousins.Nicholas mother is Dagmar a Denmark princess & his father Tsar Alexander III.where is the connection?? I’m very confused thank you !!!!!
While I love this channel, and visit it often, I must say that I find your merch a bit offensive. I do know most people would think nothing of it, but I am a member of the Romanov family, and it feels pretty messed up to see a youtube channel selling mugs with images of my dear relatives on them, and photographs of the family. When fetishizing the Romanovs, just remember this. We did not ALL die. Some of us escaped, and went into hiding. Others were hunted like dogs by the Cheka, the NKVD, and eventually the KGB. But even today there are still some of us out there in the world. We are human beings, and we love our family. I am glad that there are still people interested in my family, as they are quite extraordinary, and far more interesting than most people who ever lived. But really, who buys a mug with a picture of the Grand Duchesses on it? I do really find the whole situation quite tacky. And since you are generating revenue selling merchandise, I really do hope that whoever runs this channel is also a member of the family, and not some random person just trying to generate cash by exploitation. That I could actually understand.
how were they cousins? isn't Nikolas related to Edward's children since their mothers (Alexandra & Dagmar) were sisters... then how is Nikolas the nephew of Edward??? please explain...
You are correct. Alexandra and Dagnar, aka Minnie aka Marie Feodorovna the dowager empress of Russia were sisters. And since Edward was married to Alexandra, that makes him Nicholas’s uncle on his mothers side. And then you have Alexandra the current empress and Nicholas wife who was the daughter of Edwards sister Alice. Which makes him uncle to them both.
So if Nicholas was a Tsar and Edward was a King, who technically has the higher rank? Would Edward have bowed first to Nicholas? Would Alexandra have curtsyed first to the Tsarina?

If only George V had offered the same warm welcome to the Russian Royal family in 1918 they may well have survived their horrible deaths .

Just like today's English royal family, who are also related to the monarchs left in Europe today.
Please do not mistake English and British. Not interchangeable terms. None of the Royal totles describes the British Kings or Queens with '..of England'! Check Google and see!
You should make a video about the myth of Maria and the guard
You are very correct about this. Thanks for the clever suggestion! We shall schedule it for the near future! Very best wishes!
The girls accent when they spoke English and their childlike way of speaking it and Russian made their English relatives feel uneasy
Your Majesty.
What's the chance we can get a video on Nicholas and Maria Botchkareva?
I was wondering how she got the personal permission of Nicholas II to join the Army. What was their connection, do you know...?
@@carolannemckenzie3849 She did, at least as personal as can be expected. In her memoir she wished to enlist but was declined, undeterred she met with the local governor whom she had first met when she was exiled with her second husband and was able to get a telegram through that way. Nicholas simply gave an executive order and it's never addressed with him again - it's not uncommon though, even according to this channel citizens would reach out to him for things such as name changes as well.
I highly recommend her book - Yashka: My Life as a Peasant, Exile and Soldier
Thanks. Very interesting woman. She had a tough time and had terrible taste in men, then to be shot by the Bolsheviks at only 30! 😥
@@carolannemckenzie3849 Her story really is impressive - married at 15, heavily abused, dotted with suicide and murder, war, being a woman - so full was her life she met with President Wilson in 1918
Thank you I really enjoyed this video
Would love to see someone apply AI to these amazing videos
Maybe one day!
Lovely film clip but what’s this second son bit re GD Michael. You have forgotten about a George. He may have been dead but he was still the second son.
This meeting caused the spark of the young Turk revolution 1908 as rumours spread that the two kings were going to divide up Macedonia. The revolution leads to the Bosnian crises 1908 and the Bulgarian independence, which causes damage between European powers which one by one lead to another like the Balkan wars 1912-1913 which finally leads to the Great War 1914
Excellent
It was terrible that their family in England let the Russian Czar and his family be killed like that. When coincidentally the royal family was actually German. So they weren't free of sin either
As though I desire only heavenly peace for the Russian royal family, may peace be upon Them, it wasn't entirely the British royal family's fault. They had invited Nicholas but no longer could with the war situation and the likelihood of rebellion in Britain after inviting the Czar. It's not to say that the British and German royal families were not utterly horrified by the death of the Czar and the deposition of the Kaiser.
Had the Kaiser not facilitated sending Lenin into Russia in 1917, his Russian relatives may not have come to such a terrible end.
Then again I don’t know how much power these “kings” really had. Same with George. Could he have saved them, or was it the British govt that pulled the strings.
I’m reminded in this of the Nicky-Willy telegrams in late July 1914 trying to row back on mobilization at the last minute. It’s said that the Tsar tried to get on the line to one of his generals to stop everything but the general in question cut the line because he knew it would stop the war. The German generals also seemingly misled the Kaiser with what was going on.
@@condelevante4 sad
Yes the British Royal Family was German but British born, unlike the Empress Alexandra which was German born. Big difference!!
Also, King George V, first cousin to both the Tsarina and Tsar, was a Constitutional monarch and the real power was with the Prime Minister. He felt that the Tsar represented the old order and would cause political ramifications if he let them in.
King Edward has a look alike image in Clark cubic bay along with my picture with hiding boy behind but don't remember the girl arm in my shoulder???. 1981.
Please someone explain to me,why Tsar Nicholas ll & King George 5th look like brothers ????? I know they are cousins.Nicholas mother is Dagmar a Denmark princess & his father Tsar Alexander III.where is the connection?? I’m very confused thank you !!!!!
To think that he lost his crown and family all because of Serbia.SMH
Uncle Bertie and Nicky.
I just wished He would of helped the family their killing was terrible.
He was long dead by then-in 1918, it was his son, George V, who refused the Romanovs entry into England and safety for political reasons.
I wish Russia and Britain were friendlier now.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌
1:33 Is it assumed, that everybody know, that dowager empress Maria Feodorovna is the sister of Edward's wife?
While I love this channel, and visit it often, I must say that I find your merch a bit offensive. I do know most people would think nothing of it, but I am a member of the Romanov family, and it feels pretty messed up to see a youtube channel selling mugs with images of my dear relatives on them, and photographs of the family.
When fetishizing the Romanovs, just remember this. We did not ALL die. Some of us escaped, and went into hiding. Others were hunted like dogs by the Cheka, the NKVD, and eventually the KGB. But even today there are still some of us out there in the world. We are human beings, and we love our family. I am glad that there are still people interested in my family, as they are quite extraordinary, and far more interesting than most people who ever lived. But really, who buys a mug with a picture of the Grand Duchesses on it?
I do really find the whole situation quite tacky. And since you are generating revenue selling merchandise, I really do hope that whoever runs this channel is also a member of the family, and not some random person just trying to generate cash by exploitation. That I could actually understand.
Get a life, dude!
The triple Entente should have been Great Britain, Germany and Russia.
Both os those monarchs had so many blood on their hands..
how were they cousins? isn't Nikolas related to Edward's children since their mothers (Alexandra & Dagmar) were sisters... then how is Nikolas the nephew of Edward??? please explain...
You are correct. Alexandra and Dagnar, aka Minnie aka Marie Feodorovna the dowager empress of Russia were sisters. And since Edward was married to Alexandra, that makes him Nicholas’s uncle on his mothers side. And then you have Alexandra the current empress and Nicholas wife who was the daughter of Edwards sister Alice. Which makes him uncle to them both.
@@tabby5228 I understand now, Nikolas was basically related to his in-laws.
“I welcome you to RUSSIAN WATERS. “
So if Nicholas was a Tsar and Edward was a King, who technically has the higher rank? Would Edward have bowed first to Nicholas? Would Alexandra have curtsyed first to the Tsarina?
King Edward was nice
Yeah
Ah yes, King Edward the Caresser.
God bless the Czar Nicholas second and his blessed family
The Baltic provinces of Russian Empire .
