Princess Alice's Horrific End
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- Being a daughter of Queen Victoria should have meant love, luxury, and happiness for Princess Alice of the United Kingdom. Instead, Alice’s position overwhelmingly brought her bitterness, betrayal, and one of the most tragic ends in the history of the royal family-Princess Diana included. This is the forgotten story of Princess Alice.

The more I hear about Victoria the more I feel something was terrible awry with her mental stability.
She was a total nut case 😢!!!
Seems to be a constant thing the royal family
Right? What a cow.
Old Victoria was a jealous and mean spirited mother. Poor Alice…..
Never did understand all of the "greatness" about Victoria. She certainly wasn't a good mother, was a control freak and emotionally disturbed herself.
She was an excellent monarch
@@t3hpenguinofd00mMaybe not. She nursed her grief as she didn’t nurse (or comfort in times of need) her children. As I understand it she had lengthy periods of absence from being the monarch that was needed.
@@tiffcat1100 okay. Not sure why that means she couldn't be a great monarch.
And not sure where you would have heard that...
And something not mentioned here. Princess Alice of Hesse was also the great grandmother of the late Prince Phillip, the late Queen Elizabeth’s husband. QEII and Prince Phillip were both great great grandchildren of Queen Victoria and Albert - with QEII having descended from Edward and Phillip descending from Alice. Queen V + Albert -> Alice of Hesse (2nd daughter) -> Victoria of Hesse and Rhine -> Alice of Battenberg -> Prince Phillip; Queen V + Albert -> Edward VII (eldest son, brother to Alice) -> George V -> George “Bertie” VI -> Queen E.
So much sadness in her eyes. No joy at all.
Combined with the "fashion" of the times of stern, unsmiling images. I understand that early photographs were gruelingly lengthy to sit for.
Read what you may in a photo. They couldn’t smile, because the photos took so long at that time.
How’d you teach us so much in less than 20 minutes?
Well done. Thank you.
Such a tragic and sad fate poor Alice had and the children she lost. 😞
If you know anything about the British monarchy, you would know they would not attend mass -- which is a Catholic church service. The British monarch is head of the Church of England.
Doesn’t the high
The Anglican Church has a service variously called the mass, Eucharist, communion .
Queen Victoria must have been a horrific mother only really caring for her dead husband. Alice, on the other hand, was a beautiful soul. RIP.
God, I love history!!!
So many fascinating stories!
Victoria sounds like a psychopath *Alice sounds extremely ahead for her time*
Victoria was pretty much messed up by her just MEAN mother
She couldn’t stand kids either-having nine plus all those gkids!
And then suffering Albert’s early demise, she just became utterly insufferable and I feel sry for those nine kids whom she tortured.
She had untreated depression. Delia Morris
Who really wants to breastfeed
She was awful to her husband.
@@YeshuaKingMessiahAgreed, she was self- centred and ignored her subjects after the death of her husband. Her poor kids
Isn't it amazing how Queen Victoria tried to control her children, even when far away, and even when they were married? I understand she was Queen, but her great-great-granddaughter Elizabeth seemed to learn when to lay off people.
When you marry your close relations, i.e, cousins, there is bound to be illnesses and deformities.
Actually it’s quite common in some cultures
What a horrendous human being Victoria was !!
I am surprised at the photography being so distinct!
What a stunning wedding dress
Victoria was a selfish woman,treated her childern horrible.
Yes. She didn't like them at all. She was only focused on Alfred, her husband.
Correction-Albert, who was the best daddy and was able to bring out Victoria’s better side. Thank God!
@@karenvrooman2077 nope
@@dshe8637Yep !!!! 🤔
@@dshe8637She was awful to Albert too honestly.
I look forward to every video you produce. Keep up the brilliant work!
I forgot that it was Alice's daughter Alexandra who married the tsar.
Alix- the German for Alice. Her name was changed to Alexandra Feodorovna when she married Nicholas
Yes, and the Tsar Nikolai II mother is Maria Fjodorovna who is the sister of Queen Constort Alexandra, wife of Edvard VII
This is why I love history.
It’s not about places and dates, it’s about human beings and the situations in which they found themselves.
@@marilyntaylor9577
Yeah, I know. That’s why history is so fascinating.
Queen victoria was a clear cut narcissist and also was her mother. She treated her children like an inconvenience. She didn't like having children or being pregnant. She had favourites and the rest were treated poorly. Sad really, as Alice seems to be one of the nicest royals of the time
🙄
How would you have fared, in Queen Victoria’s position? Being the Queen, with all the responsibilities that go with it PLUS the added pressure of pregnancy, the importance of having male heirs (the more the better)…anything else?
@@angemaidment5640 ~ One would think she'd be happy, or at least happier, considering she was married to a man she was deeply in love with (and he, her) and who was very involved in helping her run the county. It was more like a partnership. She didn't like the children because that meant she had to share Albert with them. Complete narcissist.
Totally Agree 👍🏾
@@angemaidment5640So what? That doesn’t excuse her abusive behavior.
Diphtheria is contagious via airborne droplets which are dispersed by someone coughing or sneezing, so it's unlikely a simple kiss transmitted the disease to Alice. The Russians had developed a visceral hatred toward the incompetent czar beyond the tsarina's relationship with Rasputin and his influence.
Thank you for shedding light on someone who is usually lost in Queen Victoria's shadow. A pity that Queen Victoria failed to see the goodness in Alice until her daughter died.
If it was a kiss on the lips tho....
@@eunicestone6532my thought exactly.
I think the kiss is a convenient scapegoat because it was a last recorded act before she became ill. Besides her husband, her children Victoria, Alix, Marie, Irene, and Ernest came down with diphtheria, and she nursed them all herself. She could have caught it from any one of them.
Poor Alice was an empath and her mother was a narcissist. So much of what went on between them reminded me of what I went through with my mother.
I understand!
There is solid evidence that empathy is a survival strategy for those raised by narcissist parents. The down side: the empathy will always be more likely to be obsessed with/love those who are a Threat.
@@mariekastler5391~ I'm an empath and was raised by two narcissists. I'm so sensitive that I can't stand hurting anyone's feelings, and the downside of that is I end up getting hurt or suffering negative consequences in trying to avoid hurting the other person. I was programmed to not stand up for myself and to deny my feelings. I'm almost 63 and still dealing with this
Some people!! 🤦🏻♀️ what a load of twaddle! 😂
@@tooma4886Yes, not having a voice. Dr Ramani & Dr Les Carter here on RUclips are great channels ❤
Before you judge Queen Victoria too harshly take a look at how she was raised. Its a sad read but explains alot.
Great format and subject matter. Totally enjoyed it.
It wasn't that kiss or any physical contact. It was that except for the daughter / sibling sent away, the rest all lived in the same environment eating the same food, drinking the same sourced water.
Alice was also so exhausted from caring for everyone else, that she had no resistance to the illness when she caught it herself.
A lovely woman and deeply spiritual, a trait passed on, and warped in her daughter Alex, the Tsarina, but also inherited by her other daughter Elizabeth. She founded a religious order, and is now buried in Jerusalem, after her body was recovered from the mine in which she'd been flung during the Bolshevik Revolution. Her grand daughter, Alice, Prince Philip's mother was also very spiritual, and founded a religious order, while her son, Prince Philip had hundreds of books on spirituality in his private library. His son King Charles also has a deeply spiritual side.
Superior Quality and excellent story telling befitting these interwoven characters. 💚 Thanks for all the hard work and research you put into your videos!
Thank you so much for a very factual piece from beginning to end. Please give us more - a lot more.
Queen Victoria seemed narcissistic
Thank You for this.
Thank you. I enjoyed you telling the history lesson ❤
Such heartbreak to bear!
Thanx for that really interresting story, I didn't even know! Great channel, subscribed! 😍
The late Queen was the spitting image of Alice, its amazing how similarities can appear years apart
I see some similarities to Elizabeth II and her sister Margaret in Alice's pictures on this video.
I love you guys royal history content❤I’m glad Queen Alexandra and her got along well. I seen a few videos and they made it seemed like Queen Alexandra didn’t get along at all with her any of her sisters in law.
Very interesting video; thank you.
Thank you 😊
So sad! My Great Grandmother’s youngest child passed from diphtheria. She was forcefully removed from the home and taken to a quarantine hospital, quite a distance away. She was only two y/o and had to stay in the hospital by herself. Nobody was allowed to visit her. But because she had a hole in the heart, even the doctors could not save her. She died of
Myocarditis, caused by the diphtheria and although they eventually messaged my Gran and told her to come, because her child was gravely ill, the little girl was by that point so out of it, she might not have known her Mum was there. That destroyed my Gran and her other children for many years. She always told everyone that her youngest child ‘died of a broken heart.’ We did not know exactly what she meant, although we knew that the child had holes in her heart, we just couldn’t understand how my Gran had her child forcefully taken from her arms, in her own home. She had six other children and was a devoted Mum to all of them. When we looked up the child’s death certificate, it joined up a lot of the dots. Sadly, she might have gotten the vaccine, had she been of an age to be able to attend school, as the vaccine was given out for free, soon after her death, to all school children.
Albert, nicknamed “Bertie” was the name of the eldest son of Queen Victoria. He only took the name Edward VII on his ascension to the throne.
Such a sad story 😢
Interesting, thank you
Queen Victoria was a very grumpy individual.
Victoria was a puffed up toad.
THANK YOU 🙏 I didn’t know any of this…..So Very SAD….Alice looked just like her Mother…..What a HORRIBLE Life she had….
My GOD her Mother put her thru Hell for her to finally get away from Her and yet she still made Life Hell…..
Her Daughter’s life ended in a Horrific way also….HEARTBREAKING
Albert was handsome but Victoria an her children don´t look well
I love your channel. ❤🇨🇦❤️
Thanks for the love!
Wonderful!!! The story was well put together, and the narration was top-notch. Thank you for your hard work, and thank you for an outstanding video.
Albert was a real piece of work. His plan was to create a magnificent dynasty through creating as many children as possible and marrying them into as many royal families as possible.
Large families were completely normal in those days, not uncommon for a couple to have 20+ children, not all survived, though.
Some families were larger, but definitely not that large. So many women died in childbirth, lasting through 12 was pretty amazing.
My grandfather (born in 1902) was the youngest of his father's 19 children. The first wife had 10 his second wife had 9. Most did actually survive. Miraculous.
Queen Victoria married her first cousin (Albert). She had some nerve being the "moral police."
There’s nothing wrong or illegal in marrying a cousin. It’s only the Americans who have a slightly deranged take on this.
Oh for goodness' sake. Americans need to stop assuming that what they think is right is objectively right, and imposing it on everyone else. And then having the brass neck to preach about freedom.
As an American, we are grown-ups who don’t need a monarchy. I noticed in Britain you still act like children needing a monarchy talk about morality the people that you look up to the monarchy are full of rapist liars and thieves so I think we might be a little more superior.
@gradkat and @ruthmeb There are very good medical reasons for not marrying a first cousin. The chances of congenital conditions, such as chromosomal disorders, occurring is greatly raised in cousin marriage. In the U.K., cousin marriage is common within the Pakistani Muslim community and the result is many children with special needs who have a poor quality of life.
@@GradKatand @ruthmeb, inbreeding leads to all kinds of problems...like hemophilia, mentioned here. Toulouse-Lautrec also suffered from inbreeding, his parents were cousins. Look at the Egyptian Pharaohs, those long skulls come from incest, also. Fathers and daughters, brothers and sisters were all allowed.
But, please, don't let SCIENCE get in the way of a good tantrum.
Anti-vaxxers should be forced to study stories like this, both historical and present day.
Not the same 18:41 actually not a vaccin but experiment you knoww
They All Look Alike
The Romanovs all did TOO
Very weird how alike
Vic and Al were first cousins right?
My ggparents were also, my gdaddy had literal holes in his eyeballs and was declared legally blind by 30. His 10 and almost every gkid (my gen) has horrible eyes, most the ggkids do too. My gdaughter also has.
It's probably due to the inbreeding among European royalty.
The Tsarina, Nicholas' wife, was Victoria's granddaughter. Through her, the Tsarivitch Alexei was a hemophiliac. The Romanovs were in trouble without the Revolution.
They all intermarried with other royals/nobles across Europe. The Brits def married a few romanovs
King George V (Queen Elizabeth’s grandpa) and Tsar Nicholas look very alike and they were first cousins through their mothers, who were sisters and both were Danish princesses. George V was also first cousin with Tsarina Alexandra, the latter being a daughter of Princess Alice - George V’s father King Edward VII was older brother of Princess Alice. To add more intrigue, when England went to war with Germany during WWI, Kaiser Wilhem of Germany was also first cousin to George V - the former’s mother was Princess Royal Victoria, the eldest child of Queen Victoria and Albert and thus older sister to both King Edward VII and Princess Alice. WWI was really the war of the first cousins between Germany, Russia and England. Queen V and Albert did a great job of seeding their offsprings all over Europe.
Rasputin wasn't 'hated by the Russian people' - he was hated by the Russian elite who wanted WAR WAR WAR - they knew Rasputin was telling Nicolas II 'do not join in this war, little father, it will be the end of you and Russia' - this is quoted from _The Rasputin File_ written by a Russian, Edvard Radzinsky, who was able to access the 'file' from Tsarist archives. If you're going to do history videos, it would be nice if you'd do some real research
I appreciated your comment until I read the last sentence. Tacky and unnecessary. 👎🏼
Rasputin was an evil🦍
No… her sister was far more tragic. Last Queen( Tsarina) or an ancient empire.
Daughter
Actually, 2 Of her daughters died at the hands of the Bolsheviks…Alessandra plus her 5 children and Elizabeth, who also married into the Romanov family but was childless..
Alicky was Victoria's granddaughter but I forget who her mother was. Perhaps this was her mom?
To sad
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌹🌹🌹💐Thank you. Keep up the brilliant work!
victoria was such a horrible person.
Hesse is pronounced hess
Victoria was a mess. A real controlling mother.
The money, jewelry , title on the outside seems so like winning in the gene lottery ~ but , behind the scenes away from the crowds they were so wanting to impress ? No
Princess Alice attended Mass??
as far as Rasputin causing the revolution that’s a HUGE stretch, putting it mildly 😂. But a typical western misperception
Western misinformation is because no one has recounted the truth to those who are relaying what they believe. Not all Westerners are uninformed. Although the education system in the U.S. does leave a lot to be desired.
It's a shame that Alice was so like her father you would think that Alice would have been her favorite of all. I come from a long line of Alice's & I'm the 5th & I was disease liked by my family to & I was the caregiver of my family it just breaks my heart to know that life's full of heart braking things that people people even children are disliked because they resemble your father
My mother and grandmother were both Alice’s , my last child if it had been a girl name would have been Alice .. but alas I had a boy …
So my granddaughter’s middle name is Alice , and a few nieces too … I miss Mama so much 🥀🥀
My dog's name is Alice May
One vital correction.....There is absolutely no way that the Royal Family would have been attending mass, as everyone knows this is a Catholic rite, and the Royal Family are Church of England..... a huge part in English history of course, with Henry V111 having removed all traces of Catholicism in this country, and placed himself as the head of the church, the same role...Defender of the faith....which is inherited by every monarch since his daughter Mary Tudor....It is forbidden even now, for the monarch to marry a Catholic in this country.
That law was overturned about ten years ago. An heir to the throne is now permitted to marry a Catholic. They may not themselves convert to Catholicism as they are the head of the Church Of England. So Prince George will be the first heir to the throne who is not barred from marrying a Catholic.
All of the queen’s children looked exactly like her.
Vicky (daughter) was better looking
And you try and tell the anti vaccers that and they wont believe you
Which is why it's sensible to be vaccinated against dipthereia
Diphtheria outbreaks are occurring because people are shunning the vaccines for their infants. It's a really nasty disease, particularly in children.
Yes it is. I don't know when the vaccinations started, before the 1950's I know that as I was vaccinated around mid 1950's. My Mother was born 1909 and when she was around 8 or 9 she got Diphtheria and told me had to paint her own throat. I don't know if it left her with any weaknesses. This happened in Australia so can't speak for any other country.
The vaccine for diphtheria was first developed in the 1800s. Per Vitek and Wharton.
@crackersmom2679 Thanks for that didn't realise it was so early. What country please?]
@@44Burgess n 1890, Kitasato Shibasaburō and Emil von Behring at the University of Berlin reported the development of 'antitoxins' against diphtheria and tetanus. Their method involved injecting the respective toxins into animals and then purifying antibodies from their blood.
This is a dark fable .a real mean mutual Victoria was .to Aluce anyhow I'm sure her mask shifted at will.cold &creepy woman.
Unfortunately, lots of people died from diphtheria and other illnesses in the nineteenth century, royalty included. And child mortality was high then, too, even in royal families. So, I would hardly call Alice's one of the most tragic ends. Her daughters Alix and Elizabeth had more tragic ends than their mother.
And it's still not ending for the Royal princesses! #FACT
Wow a lesson in man management I learned early. Do not communicate with an alpha ever🙏
Narrator is so irritating, almost shouting out the 1st few words before dropping the voice to a whisper, which is barely audible. Could not watch/ hear the whole video due to this.
Disagree
These royals really get a tough gig huh? Seems like their good fortune is weighed in balance with tragedy.
Wow, talk about coming from the same mold, they all have the same face.😂
Right?!
This was great, thank you!
Inbreeding is amazing, isn't it!
Yes I notice that in a lot of these Royals. I even mentioned that in a video about King George 3rd and his wife n 7 kids. All looked similar. Lots of close family married each other to keep the " power" and money etc in the family line. This caused SOME of the Royals to look VERY strange and be sick too
Is it odd that I see Q.Elizabeth & Charles in their faces? Genetics is intriguing - just look at the Kennedy family.
“Fact”inate videos seem to use just whatever old photo looks like someone’s idea of the historical period. The photo showing Hesse, for example, is actually an often-seen photo of Edward VII with a hunting party. Really not reliable info here.
Mass?the were church of england not catholic
Yep
Princess Diana didn’t suffer her children dying before her
Nor, far worse, her beloved spouse (not that Charles was that at all)
She just instantly died one night
Are you confused? Princess Diana died due to the car crash in Paris. She passed well before her sons. Prince Phillip was Queen Elizabeth's husband.
@@jjrat5pack ur right her hubby was Charles
Given John Brown and Abdul Karim, Queen Victoria seemed to be more interested in men than her own children.
Yeah.... The John brown thing was weird considering how many paintings/busts/statues she had of him. I read somewhere that people gave them to her as gift in hopes it would comfort her. Brown was Alberts bff/top man and for some reason having him or his likeness around would make her grieve her dead husband less? Victorian times were weird.
What does "emotionally stunted" mean? Please tell me.
I believe it refers to a difficult childhood when the appropriate stages of emotional growth are not normal. One does not grow up in a healthy manner. Some say Harry is emotionally stunted-- that he never grew up and continues to behave as a spoiled child. The Royal Family was full of abuses, many skeletons in every closet
Unable to relate emotionally to other people in a mature manner, because their emotions aren't fully developed.
Prince Harry is emotionally stunted, he lives in the past with his mummy , he never got past 12 years old emotionally.
Look at most American “men”
Now u know
@@Hava744 nasty comment, but I guess being emotionally stunted yourself you would not notice
tiny quibble: they wouldn't have been attending mass in windsor castle chapel.
Attended Mass?
Are you asking what Attending mass means going to church Christian in this case to be with God Thank him for bestowing our health and for having children and also means attending mass to thank God for the life of your child even when the child dies it is paying respects to the Lord GOD and to go out spread the word of God
@@lindajones7219 The British Royal family would not be attending a Roman Catholic Mass.
It's a pretty easy mistake to make. She obviously meant whatever the Protestants call their church service, not Catholic Mass.
High church Protestant services are the same as Mass. Don’t forget Henry VIII took what he wanted from the Catholic Religion when he started Protestant church
naw Princess Diana was so much worse
Although Diana's mother left when she was young, she didn't have to deal with all the toxic BS that narcissistic Victoria leashed upon Princess Alice. She didn't lose 2 of her children like Princess Alice did, and she didn't have to say goodbye to her remaining children and husband while dying of diphtheria.
Awful lot of irrelevant photos and clips here. What have views of Bertie as King Edward VII to do with Alice, who died decades before he succeeded? And why illustrate Alice and Louis' courtship with pictures of them in middle age?
Er, he was her brother!
Didn't Frederick have syphilis?
No he was a hemophilia.
They all wear the same genes.
Dude
Louis succeeded his uncle and not his father.
Rasputin looks smelly
Narrator voice annoying. Creeps up high at times. No feeling for the material
