16.50: 'One of Mary's ancestors.....' She died before WW1, in 1959 her 'ancestor' would have been very ancient indeed. Did you mean 'one of Mary's descendents'? And as she hadn't produced any children it would have to be a descendent of someone else, not Mary. Just saying.
I had heard Rudolph asked several lovers to join him in a suicide pact, and Mary was the first to say yes. Rudolph’s brain could have been affected by the syphilis and he was already depressed. There is much we will never know.
I don't think that he shot Mary, possibly, she either fell for some reason or he struck her on the head, causing her death, and it was not possible to prove this as an autopsy was not carried out on her body, or maybe he did put poison in her drink that caused her to fall as it took effect, which might explain some of the trauma to her skull.
Its possible to be shot in the head and not have an exit wound! some people live with a bullet still lodged in their head for example. depending on how/where she was shot and caliber. If it was winter, and she was buried for only 2 months, her remains would be in tact enough that they would notice an exit wound, didn't seem like they did notice. Weird thought that a bullet was not found once she was skeletonized.
Don't bother. Several movies and plays and even a ballet were made from this horrible tragedy. However, none of them are factually accurate. Read books about the Mayerling Incident instead. The truth is even more shocking than this 20 minute video could provide.
Really sad for the naive young girl, he was vile & a coward for coercing her. I bet his wife didn’t shed any tears for him!
They were casualties of a system wherein women had no independent agency; and Rudolph was a selfish, disaffected cad.
....just like American women are gonna have again, soon
He was too much of a coward to go alone.
How sad that her mother never saw that goodbye letter.

Probably a relative.
This is my favorite narrator can he replace the others 😅
Amen to that
I agree completely!!
That is the worst tragedy in all of history????
Another winning docu, James! What total lies Hollywood produces, eh?

Great story! (In a sad way). I’d never heard this story before, so thanks for sharing 😊
This was so sad 😢

One of Rudolph's distant living relatives has admitted that he strongly believes that Crown Prince Rudolph shot and killed Baroness Mary Vetsera.

Why do people re-open peoples caskets can’t they be moved without doing so 😤
In my opinion it most probably was morbid curiosity .
Thats so sad
Very.
You sure Lee Oswald didnt shoot them both
Oh my gosh?
Probably poisoned
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sometimes this story calls Meghan and Harry to mind.
You are joking..
in a backwards way, i agree
Her real name was Mary Freiin von Vetsera,,,Mary Baroness von Vetsera as her father was a Freiherr(Baron)...
What is the movie /tv show shown in segments.

It looks like it’s a mini-series from 2006 called The Crown Prince.
