    Because Princess Maud became Queen of Norway, her grandson King Harald V is the king most closely related to King Charles III.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
