Because Princess Maud became Queen of Norway, her grandson King Harald V is the king most closely related to King Charles III.
Interesting.
This were the most lowkey sisters of all the british royal daughters

Yes, I could never understand why they weren't given more to do, after all they were in the direct line.
@@zzzbbbooo yes
In "IN Search of Queen Mary", they are dismissed by more than one who knew them as all very stupid. I still think Toria was very striking when young. Shame her mother got her possessive claws into her.
Queen Alexandra suffered from a genetic condition that led to her becoming deaf by age 40. I imagine her attachment and dependence on her daughters is because of her disability. Her husband was known as “Edward the Caresser” and was known for his open sexual relationships with many women who were in Alexandra’s social circle. It had to be humiliating and isolating to be married to such a man and to also gradually lose your hearing.
I totally agree with you.
George V was so handsome
King George and his cousin? Tsar Nicholas 11 just spitting image of each other. Just amazes me. Strong genetics there.
He was a handsome man and they were pretty women
Tori, when younger, looked so much like her eldest brother, Albert Victor.
Great job with A another fantastic video. Will you be making A video on the grandchildren of Empress Sisi ?
Thanks! I’ll put that one on my list!
George V of the United Kingdom and his royal sisters were very hard working royals 🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦
It should be Prince Henry of Battenberg not Prince Henry Mountbatten.
R.V. Chua : You are correct. Prince Henry's family was Battenburg before 1917 and after 1917 it was Mountbatten.
Victoria (Toria) NEVER wanted to stay with her parents unmarried but her mother clung onto her and her father, long having given his wife control of their children as a compromise for his marital philandering, didn't help his daughter. I've never heard of her rejecting a marriage proposal from a Danish cousin either.
I had heard of a Lord Roseberry who was supposed to be interested in Toria.
The custom of the time was that one daughter remained unmarried in order to be a companion to the elderly parent. Beatrice was doing the same thing for Queen Victoria.
Alexandra selfishly ask her to stay, preventing her from having her own life.
@@Angel-nu7fm That was the custom of that time. Beatrice did the same thing for Victoria, and one of Helena's daughters did the same thing.
My namesake Maud of Wales 👑
They all died within a few years of one another. They seemed to be close.
Tory dead want to marry but Alexandria was too jealous and possessive to let her go
Alexandra wanted one of the daughters to stay with her (like Beatrice did with Victoria).
Victoria really seemed to attract a lot of her cousins
I love hearing more information and details about them. Thank you❤
Thanks for watching :)!
George V had outstanding eyes.
Great and informative video!
Thanks!
King George V : 1865-1936 had two brothers and three sisters. They were :
Prince Albert Victor ( Eddie) 1864-1892, Princess Louise 1867-1931, Princess Victoria ( Toria ) 1868-1935, Princess Maud 1869-1938, and Prince John 1871-1871 Their parents were : King Edward VII 1841-1910 & Queen Alexandra 1844-1925
I read a novel of alternate history titled The Peshawar Lancers. The story opens in the early 21st century, but history had changed in the later 19th when there was a worldwide disaster caused by asteroids hitting the Northern hemisphere of Earth, and changing weather patterns disastrously for a number of years. The British royal family did escape and settled in India. The line of sucession to the throne of the Raj was initially the same, because Edward VII and his children survived. So George V, who was thirteen at the time of the catastrophe, became King/Emperor. It is not mentioned who he married, but in any event a daughter, Victoria II suceeded him. She was childless, so it is said that a cousin Albert suceeded her. It didn't say who his mother was, but it would have had to be one of these three girls. Their history would not of course have stayed the same, and the king/emperor at the time the book ended was a descendant of that Albert, Interestingly he was Charles III.
Princess Tori and Queen Alexandra looked nearly identical
I thought the same!
Yes! So many female descendants of King Christian IX and Louise of Hesse-Kassel look exactly the same.
I really cant distinguish between Dagmar,Alexandra or Alexandras daughters,they all look the same
Is there a book about the 3 sisters?
You could try "Edward VII's Children" by John Van Der Kiste.
God bless the Holy Martyr Romanovs ❤️🙏☦️🇷🇺
Toria was recorded on 78s accompanying their friend and cellist Beatrice Harrison. owned Coppins, Iyer, that went to the late Prince George Duke of Kent and Marina and their children. Much anecdotal evidence says she was not liked as showed the worst spinsterish characteristics but George V was very fond of her, apparently to Queen Mary's discomfort.
Did you actually use the the spinsterish?
What on earth does that comment mean?@@Angel-nu7fm
George V looks like his grandma Queen Victoria
He also looks just like his cousin,Tsar Nicholas II
They look like twins
But George V was handsome
Do you have IG or Twitter?
So interesting and informative.
