You can see the resemblance in Kaiser Wilhelm's kids with those of his cousin, King George V of the United Kingdom. His son, Wilhelm, bore a striking resemblance to King George VI (Dad of the Late Queen Elizabeth II)...
My grandfather, Hermann Stockinger, (1891-1970) was son to the stable master of Kaiser Wilhelm. I only have one picture of him, my great grandfather that is.
@@b1crusade384 I wouldn't know. My grandfather ran away at 16 to join the merchant marines and never saw his family again. I am sorry you seem to have so much hurt inside.
All credit to Viktoria -she seems to be the only one who managed to make something really worthwhile of her difficult circumstances. As for her brothers, isn't it amazing how Germany seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of princesses for them all to marry?
The German Reich was founded from 39 previously sovereign states. Each had its own ruling family and they in turn had many children. This is also the reason why so many princesses and princes from Germany married into the European aristocracy.
@Roy Black at one time Germany or the Holy Roman Empire had been divided into nearly 300 states though a lot of them shared rulers. The majority of the ruling dynasties of these states were considered eligible in the Royal Marriage market even when a lot of them lost their territories in the upheavals of the early 19th century
Well Adelbert who retired from public life seems also to have been all right. I think it has a big influence if you have your father’s love and approval which the boys do not appear to have had.
They were inbred vile nasty people like any other royal from that part of the world. So, one should not expect much from them once they were kicked out their palaces like roaches and were required to actually work. Prince Joakim or whatever his name, doesn’t matter; was so cowardly, he deleted himself rather than wait for natural selection. 😆
And Viktoria is the great grandmother of King Philip of Spain via his maternal grandmother Frederika of Hanover, Queen Consort of Spain. Thus King Philip is descended from Queen Victoria on both sides via his great great great grandmother Princess Royal Victoria "Vicky" (the German Empress) & his great great grandmother Princess Beatrice (paternally)....
@@jamellfoster6029 Felipe of Spain is both a 3x great grandson (through both of his parents) and 4x great grandson of Queen Victoria (through Sofia). Kinda confusing tho coz Sofia is descended twice from Vicky, her father married his first cousin's daughter lol
REALLY?? No s**t Sherlock! I think that’s s fact most everyone would already know. Kaiser II was also first cousin to Tsarina/Empress Alexandra (Alix of Hesse and the Rhine) of Russia and George V of England.
of anothe interesting note, the National Anthem of the Kingdom of Prussia and The German Empire was Heil dir im Siegerkranz , which was written Prussia in 1520, and in 1744 the tune was stolen by england to be god save the King. I wonder if the UK is paying royalties to Prussia for the use of their national anthem.
@@barrymoore4470 Yes, thank you. I apologize for the error and didn't intend to offend anyone, but attempted to compliment, only. Apologies for both the error and the aim.
He was the son of queen Victoria’s eldest child Vicki and under the present rules of succession she would have become queen in 1901 shortly before her own death which would have made her eldest son King of England
If Vicky was in line to be Queen, she would never had married Frederick IV of Prussia. So she would not have queefed out Kaiser Wilhelm II. But I get your point.
Unfortunately the role of Viktoria Luise during the Hitler era was completely omitted. She was according to some sources very active and also spent some of her money (and probably of her husband) for the Nazi cause.
A writing error: Georg Friedrich. His father died in 1970s during a military training accident ( a realy prussian death), His grandfather was Prinz Louis Ferdinand, a grandson of Wilhelm Il. When i understand the video correct, Crown Prince Wilhelm was Georg Friedrichs greatgrandfather. A Sidenote: A daughter of Crown Prince Wilhelm married after wwll an US soldier, so an US citizen, If the couple had children, is a descendant of Wilhelm ll.
IT IS Always easy. to hate decades ago died people. And: Which member of prussian branch of Hohenzollern dynasty ( there is also a swabian branch which ruled only next to Hohenzollern castle) was member of SS? Wash your ears.
These black and white photos are so beautiful and nostalgic. Everybody looks beautiful and smart in black and white.
The daughter and the son who just went to Switzerland had the right idea
Danke. Mein opa in BERLIN. Sah unseren Kaiser.....als Berlin noch da war...............
That was lovely I enjoyed that immensely ❤

They were inbred. They are fortunate they did not inbred themselves to extinction. Anyway, they should look alike as they are almost clones.
And King Charles III
Princess Viktoria was a royal beauty that did not receive the notoriety she was due.
@Nicky L Probably not.
My grandfather, Hermann Stockinger, (1891-1970) was son to the stable master of Kaiser Wilhelm. I only have one picture of him, my great grandfather that is.
Did your ancestor see the Kaiser cry like a little girl as he was kicked out Potsdam like a sack of rocks?

@@royblack2395 : Attention! Hamburg, Bremen, Lübeck and Frankfurt am Main had been ,Free Towns'.
Well they did better then the children of Nicholas II.
That would not have been difficult. Nearly everything is better than being killed.
That's cruel lol
Princess Friederike of Brunswick, the daughter of the Kaiser's daughter Viktoria became Queen Frederike of Greece in 1947.
And Viktoria is the great grandmother of King Philip of Spain via his maternal grandmother Frederika of Hanover, Queen Consort of Spain. Thus King Philip is descended from Queen Victoria on both sides via his great great great grandmother Princess Royal Victoria "Vicky" (the German Empress) & his great great grandmother Princess Beatrice (paternally)....

Are the Windsors then related to this line as well? Since Prince Philip was the grandson of the King of Greece.
Thank you for pointing that out.
She sure did. And if it weren't for Salic Law Her Father would've been King of England, not just of Hanover
So informative. Thank you for posting this.
Well done.
Thank you.
Kaiser Wilhelm II was the grandson of the UK's Queen Victoria
REALLY?? No s**t Sherlock! I think that’s s fact most everyone would already know. Kaiser II was also first cousin to Tsarina/Empress Alexandra (Alix of Hesse and the Rhine) of Russia and George V of England.
Indeed, in fact he was her first-born grandchild. The Kaiser always retained warm affection for his maternal grandmother.
Alles inzucht.
@@johnpickford4222 No s**t Sherlock - No such person as George V of England.
She was German. The poor Britsh had to get foreigners to rule them.
Outstanding. Thank you!
very interesting. Good presentation.
I found the men weak. Viktoria was a breakthrough.
As Princess Anne is with Queen Elizabeth's children. Andrew is a hot mess!
Danke, habe ich noch nicht gewußt. Schade, es war keine deutsche Übersetzung möglich.

I'm going to grow a sick stash like the kaiser!

Not surprising since the Windsors are actually German.
I believe their good looks extended from the Colberg side of the family.
You must mean Coburg side.

Ja. Wäre das nicht lustig gewesen?😄

There is no such person as "King of England".
He was Queen Victoria's oldest grandchild, born while her husband, Prince Albert, was still living.
Just Imagine that.
It's fearsome that they are all related, cousins of each other marrying cousins again. With so much i breeding It's no wonder there are misfits.
Well done. Subbed.
Great Video 👏👏👏

The royals were duped by Hitler into thinking he would restore the monarchy. Most of them wised up when he didn't.
Smart lady
The Kaiser had other kids.
Pretty lady
From whom is Gregor Friedrich desended? The current head of the House of Holenzoleran & the man who would be Kaiser if Germany still had a Monarchy.

I really enjoy your videos but the writing it’s taken too fast… I am a slow reader but please… just a bit longer.🌸❤️
Thank you for your feedback.. ❤
Informative video but I hate the music.
Me too. It was too loud and overly dramatic.
The font is so small and we can color it is impossible to read.
Anglosaxons and Saxons.....english and germans are one tribe..
Nobody misses them
Ronald Schultenover: Or likely you either. They all suffered due to their father’s WWI involvement and had to pay a price that he never did.
Speak for YOUR sorry self you condescending fool. Many of them, ESPECIALLY the daughter, did extremely well
Ja du willst lieber die scheiß Ampel ....dann zahl doch für die Kriegstreiber...
They were Royals-most were not Nazis!😂
Sorry you can’t say something kind about a person instead of being cruel
