Heya! Fun fact: my great grandpa made the lace on Princess Diana’s wedding dress, he owned a lace factory in Nottinghamshire. I actually have a spare piece of it which wasn’t used on the dress but was left over ☺️
Kasia Yeah, perfect. And so true. I remember once going into a car dealership a long time ago. I’m NOT Rich, in any! way, but we did do all right. Because I didn’t LOOK like I could afford their car, I’m a casual girl, they gave be the side eye, and practically ignored me. I did the basics, and said thanks, but no thanks.
Every little girl?? LoL I didn't grow up thinking about wedding! It's a western thing. Kids are too young to be thinking about this sort of things. It's the media brainwashing them into thinking about getting married, ie grooming, as you call it. I find it really creepy.
@@jandm4ever716 they did and it didn't matter. He would've carried on just like his ancestors and marry the acceptable but make the woman you love your mistress. So that's what he did...
I had never seen a color photo of Queen Elizabeth’s wedding gown until now. It was pretty in all the black & white photos and films, but it is gorgeous in color.
I am surprised that the 176 year old surviving piece of Queen Victoria's wedding cake, only sold for $2,100. 5:34 You would think something so rare and significant, would be worth more than that to royal history buffs!!
I mean it's pretty gross, the smell would be repulsing, it'd probably be equivalent of buying a piece of cow shit off a farmer's market - except this one's 176 year old royal cow shit- so they make it 2k, the most expensive piece of cow shit you'll ever buy in your life.
Umm.... honestly who the hell braught up a near 200 year old mold to the auction? People buying that must be idiot or smth. I mean... buying a whole gown is a one thing but...cake? Seriously?
Regardless of historical significance, $2100 is still a lot for a moldy and most likely inedible piece of cake. What someone would do with that cake is well beyond me.
Maria Kelly it was written before they got the question to perform and just wanted to play a new song. It was not written with her in mind or because of the wedding. Just a coincident the title was dancing Queen. Benny have been talking about this many times
I was 7 when Princess Diana married Prince Charles, and my mom and I stayed up all night to watch it. When my husband and I got married, my dress was much more understated than Princess Di's, but my dress and veil had the same length train as hers. I really felt like a princess 💕
The ceremony was held in a church and the Bible says it is shameful for men to cover their heads in church. 1. Corinthians 11. I hope that helps with the confusion
It was considered dishonorable and improper at the time for men to neglect removing their hats before women. It still is in societies of high formal etiquette customs, like UK Tea Parties. I learned that while taking a southern etiquette class as a young teen. The government was probably being a bit too paranoid and thought that it would improper if the royal wedding is broadcast to the public in radios, with drunk men, who lack the manners to remove their hats during the broadcast.
The thing is, I’m guessing that many men in that era in Britain- whether sitting in a pub, or listening at another radio source, probably Would have removed their hats out of habit and/or respect when hearing the BBC describe the assent of the bride’s party, and how all the “gentry” were removing their hats/military headpieces etc. Oh, not all of them, of course, but doffing you cap to a passerby in the street was the norm, if the BBC had said “now please remove your hats for the playing of the National anthem”..... er, I mean, if the BBC had said: “And here is Lord-so-and-so, he’s removing his hat in respect as he enters the Abbey.....” or “Seated, in preparation for the music to start, all the gentlemen, visiting heads of state, the Prince of Wales and his brother the Duke of G. are now removing their hats out of respect, as are we here at the BBC, and surely every man across the Commonwealth...”. I mean, I feel like the BBC could have proposed a way around the hat “problem”. It’s also funny that the royal family did think that what they couldn’t see - some men in pubs not removing hats and/or being properly composed during the ceremony listening on radio would be more harmful than what we now know probably would have probably gotten them even higher “ratings” if they had let it be broadcast- because of how much the general public approved of Bertie and Elizabeth B. Lyons and how public interest & “participation” in royal ceremonies tends to bring a bump in popularity.
Felix Mendelssohn’s Wedding March became popular at weddings after it was selected by Victoria, The Princess Royal for her marriage to Prince Frederick William of Prussia on 25 January 1858. The bride loved Mendelssohn's music and for whom Mendelssohn often played while on his visits to Britain.
I love this channel so much. I genuinely feel like she does her research and makes it interesting. Other similar channels seem to be reading off of Wikipedia.
Kate definitely was inspired by Grace Kelly’s dress too it was so beautiful yet simple but also different and eye catching...style in/on Grace for sure!!!!❤️
The last truly “Royal” wedding in European History was the marriage of King Constantine II of Greece to Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark. Since Anne-Marie held the title of Princess in her own right before her marriage, this marriage was unequivocally equal
@@Lionstar16 The reason why fruitcake is the traditional wedding cake for royalty is because in the middle ages ingredients like fruit were hard to come by so fruit cake was a way for the upperclass to show off. Fruit cake also lasts a long time so it's a great choice for their wedding cakes since they always take a long time to make and decorate.
There are many Arab Royal Families I’d like you to talk about. The wedding of the King of Morocco was also a huge event, the Jordanien Royal family has an amazing queen. And all Arab Royals have a great sense of fashion.
Could well be my favorite of your videos. Nothing brings such hope for tomorrow and puts a smile on your face as a wedding and a royal wedding only magnifies that exponentially. Very well done!
I know the Windsors are the most famous royals, but I wish you had devoted more time to the continental royals! We've seen Charles and William's wedding ad nauseum, I would love to have more than just brief clips of the continental royal weddings. Felipe and Letizia's wedding party had gorgeous costumes, Princess Madeleine's wedding dress is one of my absolute favorites! And we need more Victoria and Daniel!!!
The Isle of Wight loves Victoria!! Its brilliant that we get to have this mini glimpse of Queen's life in form of her gorgeous holiday home, I definitely recommend visiting!!
I think the nicest wedding of the British royal family was Prince Edward (youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II) and Sophie Rhys-Jones in 1999. It was pretty informal for a royal wedding and that was why it was so lovely, because the ceremony was mainly a family occasion.
The wedding had occurred in 1947 and Phillip was naturalized as a British citizen shortly before the wedding itself. It was then that he gave up his title of Prince of Greece and Denmark and received the titles Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Marioneth, Baron Greenwich. However, Phillips cousin, King George II of Greece had been restored to the Greek throne following WWII, meaning his Royal Title before his renunciation of such would’ve still been valid.
This is very intriguing and fascinating learning about royal weddings and royal marriages from the middle ages to today. However we feel about royalty, we have to give credit to some of them for some of the wedding traditions we have today, particularly the white wedding dresses we have from Queen Victoria. I also like the fact that people no matter what their rank and social status can marry for love. I remember when I was little, I always dreamed of becoming a princess. While that dream is mostly a thing of the past, I'm still fascinated by royal history! ❤I can only hope when I eventually get married, It'll be to my own "Prince Charming!"❤
It was the height of fashion at the time. You can't judge it by today's standards. It just so happens that the 50's style of dress is now back in style. In another 20 years, it'll be considered ugly again.
Henry married Anne who was a subject, Jane who was a subject (I think) and Katherine Howard who was a subject AND Katherine Parr the only wives that were not subjects Were Katherine of Aragon who was a Spanish Princess daughter of Queen Isabella of Castile (sorry if I spelt that wrong) and King Ferdinand of Aragon and Anne of Cleves who was German.
7:09 There's a third wedding tradition started by Princess Victoria that you didn't mention. See, Princess Victoria was a lover of classical music, so instead of church hymns, she chose classical pieces to be played at her wedding. The music she chose? Wagner's "Bridal Chorus" (now known better as "Here Comes the Bride") and Mendelssohn's "Wedding March". Both have become common pieces of music for weddings ever since, to the point where whenever you see a wedding scene in a movie or TV show, one of those two songs is probably playing.
I'm completely obsessed with the British royal family!! Not sure why but I just love British culture for some reason. I watched Diana's wedding on tv & both her sons weddings on live internet feeds. Had to get up at like 5 AM since theres a 5hr time difference from here in the USA but totally worth it!! Such beautiful weddings. I'm pretty sure I watched Fergie & Andrew's wedding as well. They were a beautiful couple but the royal family's disapproval of the match made it hard on them. Fergie is still one of my favorite royals!!
Maria Kelly I also heard that the royal wedding won’t be televised unlike her sister Princess Eugenie due of her father Prince Andrew sex scandal with a American woman name Virginia Giuffre
Ms. Holiday inn Hank you so much for these videos abt royal families and their traditions and accumulative histories. May tell these are the foundation of my interest in such.
Not royalty, but one of my favorite wedding "traditions" came from the marriage of Alice Roosevelt (Teddy's daughter). She chopped her wedding cake, by herself, with a samurai sword 💖💖👏👏
Love your videos...but I wouldn’t say Alix “lucked out” yes, she and Nicholas loved one another, but so much trauma for the whole world followed. From everything I’ve ever read about them, they were so out of touch, and did (or didn’t do) so many things that led to the revolution, and the murder of them and all of their children.
Molly Dye they really were out of touch with their people and what I think it’s even more sad it’s the fact that Nicholas didn’t liked being tsar that much. Also, his father, tsar Alexander III didn’t trained him that much on how to be a tsar by not letting him attend important council meeting and saying that he will rule long enough and have plenty of time to teach his son on how to rule an empire. Nicholas was a family man and just wanted to spend time with Alix and their 5 children at Tsarskoye Selo.
The tradition back then dictated that men had to remove their hats whenever they were inside a church or around a "Lady". So the thought of intoxicated men inside a pub, not bothering to take off their hats, while listening to the grand Royal Marriage, going on inside a holy Church, would have been scandalous at the time. :P
I’m guessing that the hat thing was an excuse to not have radio coverage because of the groom’s nervousness about his stammer. His early reign is covered in the movie The King’s Speech.
"I don't care about the royal family. I don't feel connected to the royal family. I could not give a fuck... what, we get a day off?!.... God save our gracious Queen!" Russell Howard on Will and Kate's engagement
The captions described Victoria's morning wedding as "mourning". Ouch. Poor Alix of Hesse... I wouldn't say she "lucked out" even though she and her husband were very much in love.
16:11 okay but like, notice how Charles was smiling at the others but then he looked at Diana and stopped smiling? Idk if the small hand gesture he did is because he was nervous or something else
@Maria Kelly Yes it was sad. Charles was a fool to choose Camilla over her. Sorry if I sound superficial, but looking at them side by side, Diana was obviously much more beautiful and charismatic. I think she would have been happier if she didn't marry Charles and if Charles was allowed to marry Camilla. But in hindsight, although Diana was unhappy during her marriage, she did touch so many lives and she did a lot of good like raising awareness for land mines and HIV when she was still a princess. So there's definitely a silver lining to all of her sadness.
@Maria Kelly I have often wondered what could have happened if Diana didn't die from that accident. Maybe she would have married Dodi. I think the marriage wouldn't last either since her boyfriend from all accounts was a philanderer. But maybe there would be another baby and Diana will try again and finally find true love. So many what ifs.
@Maria Kelly 😂🤣Well documented in letters to her friends that it was Diana who set her cap at Charles. She was determined to marry him even though she knew he didn't love her.
@@DollsAndSpooks A fool? He looks far happier with Camilla than he ever did with Diana. Diana was unstable. Both she & her brother were damaged by their parents bitter divorce. Just look at how her brother treated his first 2 wives! Diana was manipulative. Remember how she treated the partners of Oliver Hoare & Will Carling. The stalking & abusive phone calls. She even pushed her step mother down the stairs! Diana created her own myth.
She had some idea of what she was getting into. She wanted to be queen. Why else get married as a high school dropout, engaged at 18 to your sister's ex boyfriend and someone you got engaged to after 7 dates and to someone you know has an emotional tie to someone else...🤔 That's really sad, though her sons seem to have put more thought into it and after the debacle of their parents marriage, and the love match of their father and stepmom, were finally allowed to marry someone else for love at first. RIP princess.
I feel like Englishman of the late Edwardian/InterWar age - even those in pubs - Might have been moved to doff their caps- when directed by the BBC- in appropriateness if they were listening to a royal wedding… I mean, they take hats off in pubs today for the anthem/club football songs etc.?
I’m guessing that the hat thing was an excuse to not have radio coverage because of the groom’s nervousness about his stammer. His early reign is covered in the movie The King’s Speech.
Please make a video about the german dynasties that still exist. Many of them still have strict rules about marriage etc. the marriage of the head of the house of Hohenzollern in 2011 was watched by hundreds of thousands in Germany

“Men in pubs wearing hats.”
*i am confusion*
The ceremony was held in a church and the Bible says it is shameful for men to cover their heads in church. 1. Corinthians 11. I hope that helps with the confusion
Not a classy enough venue (or type of person) to partake in their wedding celebrations, I think. Could be wrong.
It was considered dishonorable and improper at the time for men to neglect removing their hats before women. It still is in societies of high formal etiquette customs, like UK Tea Parties. I learned that while taking a southern etiquette class as a young teen. The government was probably being a bit too paranoid and thought that it would improper if the royal wedding is broadcast to the public in radios, with drunk men, who lack the manners to remove their hats during the broadcast.
It was not respectful enough then ...

Is interesting to see how much Queen Victoria changed things! She was an unique woman! She's my favorite queen in history since I was a little girl! 💖
Unfortunately after Albert died, she did not want any celebrations for the rest of her unmarried children.
She also wanted a lot of control over them. She nearly refused to let Beatrice marry

Fruitcake as a wedding cake...madness
Only one tier of it.
I mean... that's what wedding cake is traditionally made of? Same as Christmas cake. Not really that mad.
Paige Connelly I mean, it’s usually not that good 🤷♀️
I’d choose a good cake over a traditional one
Just the top tier - you keep it and eat it a year later on your anniversary. The other tiers whatever you want to be served on the night/day.
Fruit cake is the best cake, so it makes sense to me.

Best dressed Grace of Monaco and Elizabeth the mother of Queen Elizabeth II. Diana was beautiful but the sleeves were so distracting and huge.
The sleeves were the unfortunate victims of 80s fashions
It was the height of fashion at the time. You can't judge it by today's standards. It just so happens that the 50's style of dress is now back in style. In another 20 years, it'll be considered ugly again.
Princess Charlotte of Monaco wedding dress was gorgeous
So many beautiful people were the victims of 1980's fashion lol. The classic style if best as even if its not in fashion it will always look lovely
Princess Margaret also looked beautiful
Useful charts bought me here! And I’m glad they did 😊 Great vid. Looking forward to exploring the rest

Yes it was truly iconic. Sooo many dresses have emulated the style. That dress changed bridal fashion!
Henry VIII married Anne Boleyn in 1533. She was a British subject also and before Catherine Parr
But Catherine Parr was the last (before Elizabeth). I guess, that was the point
Henry married Anne who was a subject, Jane who was a subject (I think) and Katherine Howard who was a subject AND Katherine Parr the only wives that were not subjects Were Katherine of Aragon who was a Spanish Princess daughter of Queen Isabella of Castile (sorry if I spelt that wrong) and King Ferdinand of Aragon and Anne of Cleves who was German.

From everything I’ve ever read about them, they were so out of touch, and did (or didn’t do) so many things that led to the revolution, and the murder of them and all of their children.
Molly Dye they really were out of touch with their people and what I think it’s even more sad it’s the fact that Nicholas didn’t liked being tsar that much. Also, his father, tsar Alexander III didn’t trained him that much on how to be a tsar by not letting him attend important council meeting and saying that he will rule long enough and have plenty of time to teach his son on how to rule an empire. Nicholas was a family man and just wanted to spend time with Alix and their 5 children at Tsarskoye Selo.
Maria Cristiana Cristache the whole story is a tragedy for the individual family members and the Russian people...so sad.
You should totally talk about the daily life's of the past centuries!
I am Indian so there was a Jeevansathi ad before this video, Indians will understand 🤣🤣

"men in pubs wearing hats"
Is that a reference to something?
The tradition back then dictated that men had to remove their hats whenever they were inside a church or around a "Lady".
So the thought of intoxicated men inside a pub, not bothering to take off their hats, while listening to the grand Royal Marriage, going on inside a holy Church, would have been scandalous at the time. :P
I’m guessing that the hat thing was an excuse to not have radio coverage because of the groom’s nervousness about his stammer. His early reign is covered in the movie The King’s Speech.
How did they know that this mouldy poultice was a slice of Victoria's wedding cake? 😂

Love your videos !
Positively LOVE your videos!!!
Great video! Thank you!
who keeps a slice of cake from 200 years ago
IT LOOKED LIKE DIRT AND CHIPPED PAINT
@@quinevere because it is literally 160 years old....
@@emanuel-vw8rg No but why would somebody keep that? A near 200 year old mold? Fr?
3:32 that’s a pretty picture of Queen Victoria
you are awesome ,Lindsay
I love how you know all of this
The captions described Victoria's morning wedding as "mourning". Ouch. Poor Alix of Hesse... I wouldn't say she "lucked out" even though she and her husband were very much in love.
Can you imagine the merchandise King Henry would've had. Lol
Love your videos!!!!!
16:11 okay but like, notice how Charles was smiling at the others but then he looked at Diana and stopped smiling? Idk if the small hand gesture he did is because he was nervous or something else
Just as I had finished watching the 1st part
William and Catherine are such a wonderful couple. Their love just shines in every picture they're in together.
I wonder which sad sack bought a slice of cake a century and a half old😭
Princess Diana and Prince Charles' wedding is the most iconic royal wedding ever.
I'd go with Grace Kelly and Rainier of Monaco 's wedding 😅
@Maria Kelly Yes it was sad. Charles was a fool to choose Camilla over her. Sorry if I sound superficial, but looking at them side by side, Diana was obviously much more beautiful and charismatic. I think she would have been happier if she didn't marry Charles and if Charles was allowed to marry Camilla. But in hindsight, although Diana was unhappy during her marriage, she did touch so many lives and she did a lot of good like raising awareness for land mines and HIV when she was still a princess. So there's definitely a silver lining to all of her sadness.
@Maria Kelly I have often wondered what could have happened if Diana didn't die from that accident. Maybe she would have married Dodi. I think the marriage wouldn't last either since her boyfriend from all accounts was a philanderer. But maybe there would be another baby and Diana will try again and finally find true love. So many what ifs.
@Maria Kelly 😂🤣Well documented in letters to her friends that it was Diana who set her cap at Charles. She was determined to marry him even though she knew he didn't love her.
@@DollsAndSpooks A fool? He looks far happier with Camilla than he ever did with Diana. Diana was unstable. Both she & her brother were damaged by their parents bitter divorce. Just look at how her brother treated his first 2 wives! Diana was manipulative. Remember how she treated the partners of Oliver Hoare & Will Carling. The stalking & abusive phone calls. She even pushed her step mother down the stairs! Diana created her own myth.
I enjoy youre videos very much
Great video! Thank you ⭐️
After watching her exaggerated marriage, I do feel sad for Diana Spencer.
She had some idea of what she was getting into. She wanted to be queen. Why else get married as a high school dropout, engaged at 18 to your sister's ex boyfriend and someone you got engaged to after 7 dates and to someone you know has an emotional tie to someone else...🤔 That's really sad, though her sons seem to have put more thought into it and after the debacle of their parents marriage, and the love match of their father and stepmom, were finally allowed to marry someone else for love at first. RIP princess.
Love your content
All these elaborate royal weddings are gonna make my wedding next year look like a backyard bbq!! 😂
How’d it go? 😜💕
Yes, I enjoyed this video😀
I feel like Englishman of the late Edwardian/InterWar age - even those in pubs - Might have been moved to doff their caps- when directed by the BBC- in appropriateness if they were listening to a royal wedding… I mean, they take hats off in pubs today for the anthem/club football songs etc.?
I’m guessing that the hat thing was an excuse to not have radio coverage because of the groom’s nervousness about his stammer. His early reign is covered in the movie The King’s Speech.
Beautiful!!
Please make a video about the german dynasties that still exist. Many of them still have strict rules about marriage etc. the marriage of the head of the house of Hohenzollern in 2011 was watched by hundreds of thousands in Germany
Thanku for sharing 🙌🙌🙌💛💛💛
Funny how Diana's dress from the 80s looks way more outdated than Grace's from the 50s.
