  • In last week's video we covered the lives of Wilhelm II’s four sisters. Today is a continuation on that topic as we will look at the three brothers Wilhelm had. But before we jump right in I have to mention that two of those brothers, Sigismund and Waldemar, died in childhood while only Henry reached adulthood. To make the video understandable we will look at Sigismund and Waldemar first before we unroll the life of Prince Henry.

    Great video. Thank you.😊
    Princess Victoria, the Princess Royal had been given a large responsibility when she went to Germany. It is very sad that her
    relationship with her eldest son was so strained!. Wilhelm's childhood was not a happy one. Given the medical care that he
    received; I am surprised that those doctors did not further injure him!

    great video , Prince Henry was very popular in Germany and did not have the angry character of his brother Kaiser Wilhelm. he was respected by the men he had been able to command although he never liked politics...

      Prince Henry's wife Princess Irene of Hesse was the quiet one in her family. The daughter of Princess Alice the 2nd daughter of Queen Victoria and Henry's aunt(his mom's sister). Irene's two sisters Alexandra, the last Tsarina of Russia and Elizabeth who married the uncle of Alexandra's husband Czar Nicholas, the last Czar of Russia. Irene's other sister was Princess Victoria who was Prince Philip's grandmother who died less than 2 years ago.

    You provide a wonderful video. You speak slowly and with tremendous understanding. Bravo. I’m very interested in German history. Just one minor - in English there is no such word as ‘anyways’ , the word is simply ‘anyway’. God bless.

    WW1 not WW2 at 6:28. The mother Princess Victoria was the eldest child of Victoria and Albert in 1840 when male children of the monarch born later would ascend to the throne. Nothing changed until 173 years later in 2013 the Succession to the Crown act girls are now equal to their brothers

    Do they not pronounce the W as V for German names in your country? Also, Hesse is pronounced as hessa.

    He was born Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, so Princess Alice Isn't the longest lived blood royal...

      The first Princess Alice mentioned was Queen Victoria's longest living grandchild. She passed away in 1981 at age 98, I think. She was the only daughter of Prince Leopold who died in 1884 almost 100 years before his only daughter. This Alice had a brother, Charles who was born after his father passed away and who died himself in the 1950's, if I remember. What's also interesting that this Alice was married to the brother of Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth's grandmother. Prince Philip was the great grandson of Princess Alice who was the 2nd daughter of Queen Victoria. This Princess Alice who passed away in 1878 was the first of Queen Victoria's children to die and the other Alice's father, Prince Leopold was the 2nd one to pass away. They were brother and sister. Princess Alice, Queen Victoria's daughter gave birth to Princess Victoria who was Prince Philip's grandmother, who in turn gave birth to Princess Alice, her first child who Prince Philip's mother. Prince Philip's uncle who was his mom's brother was the almost legendary Lord Louis Mountbatten, who was either admiral or vice-admiral of Britain's royal navy before or during the war and the last viceroy of India before its independence from Britain in 1947.
      (Leopold was Queen Victoria's youngest son.)

    Valdemar, not Waldemar….in German, “W” is always pronounced as “V.” I’m sure you know this, so the only justification I can think of for making this silly error is that you “dumbed it down” for some reason. Maybe you thought Americans are incapable of understanding this….if so, please don’t do us any favors….many of us understand other languages.
