I respect Princess Mako for choosing love over being an Imperial Princess. What’s the point of being in a royal family if you or your daughters will never be Empress. The fact that the women lose their titles if they marry commoners should say something.
To be fair, that was the custom throughout history and I don't just mean for Japanese princesses. Throughout history, because women were considered second class citizens, their status always depend on the men in their lives. At first, their status depended on their father (or brother if the father died), then their husband when they got married and then their son if they were lucky enough to have one. Unmarried/widowed women were always in a precarious position in society. That's why people, including Japanese royals, always tried to make sure their daughters could find the best marriages possible even if love didn't matter. That and political alliances lol
Kunle and Keisha really have a strong relationship. I love love how even though he's royalty, they just live normal lives and always support eachother.
And that is great!🙂💗
Sultan Suleiman & Hürrem Sultan
Charles V & Isabella of Portugal
Henry VII & Elizabeth of York
Edward IV & Elizabeth Woodville
Nicholas II & Tsarina Alexandra
Pedro I of Portugal & Ines de Castro
King Jeongjo of Joseon & Ui-bin Seong
Ivan the Terrible & Anastasia Romanovna
Mary of England & Charles Brandon
etc...
Most couples in the video have nothing on these.
And how can H&M be on the list and not William and Kate? 😄
I wouldn't count Rainier and Grace Kelly as a love story because she didn't really like him that much. It was more of a marriage of convenience, and he was notoriously unfaithful to her.
Goodness!!
Yeah you are right
Awful mess. He was pretty sleazy, and she was his second or third choice. But then, the house of Grimaldi has always been remarkably sleazy as far as I can tell. And she wasn’t particularly honest with him; couldn’t have been, considering the issues involved. If she hadn’t decided to marry a prince she would have had every reason to not marry that guy.
I LIIIIIIIVE for real life royal love stories! Even bought a book on the subject, some of them mentioned here! 🥰👑
I can't believe ginge and whinge made the list but not Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway, Queen Beatrix and Prince Claus of the Netherlands, King Constantine and Queen Anne Marie of Greece, King Michael and Queen Anne of Romania, Kaiser Frederick and Empress Victoria of Germany, Napoleon and Josephine Bonaparte or King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Their love lasted decades and remained strong throughout.
I agree. I was shocked when they were not number 1. Look how long they were married too. I didn’t care for the list at all. Couples that I have never heard of.
I expected Crownprince Haakon and Crownprincess Mette-Marit of Norway to be number one…And then they are not mentioned at all 😳 His parents story is also something.
Agreed. Maybe not number 1, but they totally deserved a spot in the list.
Princess Mako: knew giving up the throne would mean giving up her royal life and salary. Lives a private life without complaints.
Harry: Gave up royal life and continues to whine publicly about it.
👍🏻😂
I still like Harry,,,,,,,,,,complaining, so American.....expecting good treatment as a royal, so British.
Crown Prince Frederik (not just Prince) and Crown Princess Mary deserved one of the 10 spots. If you researched more into their story, you would know what a major impact their relationship has had. It’s not just a boy meets girl story. It’s a true love story of a very shy and insecure future King, who met the person on the other side of the world, who would become his rock and biggest support. And their love for one another is just as strong as when they married 19 years ago.
I forgot about how much I loved Bride and Prejudice!!
I have to respect and admire those that gave up their royal titles for love. I don’t agree with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle being included. I think William and Catherine would be a far better example of a healthy, happy, loving relationship. Think my favorite it Queen Victoria and Albert.
He cheated on her.
Good list but I'll add a few more to this list: William, Prince Of Wales and Catherine, Princess Of Wales (formally as the Duke And Duchess of Cambridge), Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip, Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Elizabeth (was known affectionately as Sissi) of Austria, and Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden. Dishonarable mention: King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson (Edward gave up throne to marry her since divorcees were not welcome to marry into the royal family by Parliament at the time and they were styled as the Duke And Duchess Of Windsor and lived in exile in France).
1. Elizabeth II and Phillip were honourable mentions.
2. Franz Josef and Sisi, not so much. He loved her, but she didn't care much for him. She wasn't attracted to him and found him quite boring when they met. He fell for her because she was beautiful and vibrant. She actually fell into deep depression a lot throughout their marriage and was quite unhappy. Sisi also disliked his inability to stop his mother from disrespecting her and bullying her and baring her from seeing her children.
Ironically, some of Sisi's siblings had wonderfully happy marriages, though!
You should definitely check out the love story of Pedro and Inês from Portugal. A story full of love and tragedy but a truelly remarkable part of our history. That is true love and pettiness
Now that was a really good story. England is a bit sterile on the love story front, and that one is as highly colored and medieval as it gets.
Happy 4th of July everyone ❤
Happy 4th July Msmojo
I get the history behind royalty, but as with any governing body & country, you have to evolve with the times. I don’t agree with them seeing non-royals or anyone outside of nobility as lower than them. I find it so funny how it’s so “scandalous” to marry someone that’s an average Jane or Joe.
This also proves that money, titles & privilege doesn’t equate to happy, fulfilled lives. Many royals & nobles left for love & are extremely happy.
I always agree with your lists! But in this case it was hugely lacking!!!! You mentioned those pieces of horrible people in number 8, but you didn’t mention William and Kate, nor Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip 🙄😤 And what about King Gustav and Queen Sylvia from Sweden, and their daughters???? And Maxima and William from The Netherlands???? Honestly, you should give it a second try!!! 🤦🏻♀️
Seretse khama and ruth williams could also be on the list.
They really should. They could displace the Monaco royals & their misery.
Yes, Mumtaz was his *favorite* wife.
Wow all those are surprising, especially King George the third and queen Charlotte's (15 KIDS) cuz HOLY WOW, good info thx.
You seriously included Harry and Meghan--who are toxic at best, but leave out William and Catherine?!
Exactly! 😏
I totally agree.
You might have it switched!
Totally agree
Agree. Can't stand them anymore!
To include Harry and Nutmeg, honestly what were you thinking. You could have featured William and Catherine instead they are a better love story. Disappointed by that one bad choice you made.
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip should be no. 1 on this list. This will be my list but I disagree everything on this list.
1. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip
2. Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel
3. Princess Margaret and Peter Townsend
4. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia
5. Druk Gyalpo and Queen Jetsun Pema (the Bhutanese Queen is more popular than Kate or Diana combined)
6. Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik (a modern day Victoria and Albert)
7. King Charles III and Lady Diana Spencer (if Camilla did not exist in the first place, Diana would have been a better consort)
8. William, Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales
9. King Frederik X and Queen Mary
10. Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold of Belgium
God save the Queen!
i really think harry and Megan markhan uesd have not put on this list in this video on here though two are very toxic with other at some point Their relationship is gonna end badly. At some point
Where is the Queen & Prince Phillip. Where is Sophie Ryhs Jones and Prince Edward. Instead you include 2 toxic relationships Harry & Megan and Grace Kelly's marriage
Totally agree!
No I had to pick out pick maybe it’s on them I thought
To be fair, it's tradition for every Japanese princess to give up her royal life when they marry (a commoner). So it wasn't really a choice 😅
But she was in line for the crown for a long time until her brother was born. People even wanted to law changed.
@melissaclark1051 Okay, please don't take what I'm about to say as condescending because I'm not trying to be lol.
1. You kind of contradicted yourself. Princess Mako was never in the line of succession because Japanese law prohibits women from succeeding to the throne.
2. You're right in a way that people wanted the law changed but it was because of Princess Toshi, daughter of the current Emperor Naruhito. Princess Mako is Naruhito's niece.
3. Because women cannot inherit the throne and Emperor Naruhito only has a daughter, the current heir is actually Naruhito's brother, Crown Prince Fumihito. Fumihito was made Crown Prince after Naruhito ascended in 2019 even though his brother obviously already had a daughter because women cannot inherit and she will also eventually give up her royal life amd status when/if she marries a commoner. Fumihito's son, Prince Hisahito, is 2nd in line to the throne even though he has two older sisters and Naruhito's daughter also being older.
@@areiaaphrodite Thanks for the summary for my comment
@@melissaclark1051 np! 😊
I mean, I’m not as up on the state of Japanese nobility (the equivalent to Dukes and Counts and such) but you would think that there would be a pretty limited pool for the girls if, in order to keep their title, they have to marry nobility if not someone who stayed in the royal line. And I imagine if the daughters loose their titles, this takes out any sons they have out of the running for heir as they would, presumably, be commoners right?
You are cool 😎
There is absolutely no way an abusive relationship will ever be any type of “a LOVE STORY”! The harkles are perfect examples of an “ABUSIVE TOXIC RELATIONSHIP.”
I totally agree Harry and Meghan should not have been included. I think William and Catherine are a far better example of a healthy, happy, loving relationship and true romantic love story.
Wow
I won’t comment on the modern people as I don’t know much detail about their lives, except that Harry and Meghan have a weirdly uncomfortable dynamic and neither of them come off like they’re… particularly impressive people. But I will definitely say there were a lot of missed opportunities.
Rainier of Monaco was a sleazebag who wanted Grace Kelly’s public image - which did not happen to resemble her real self. He wanted the virgin bride, she knew this, and though she was actually a major player she did not dissuade him from thinking something untrue… and they did not have a very happy marriage. She was also not his first choice.
George III and Queen Charlotte were not exactly an ideal couple either. He was relatively decent in many ways, especially for a man from the house of Hanover, but he was trying to cure generations of familial dysfunction by controlling his wife and children, and he isolated Charlotte and prevented her having friends other than himself, and she became rather twisted from that isolation. He also had the same effect on his sons as he had on the American colonies. And the daughters infamously were kept from marrying and were very unhappy.
There are a number of old time royal love stories that are more obscure.
Charles XI of Sweden and his wife Ulrika Eleonora of Denmark, in the 1600s; they got off to a very rocky start because the two countries had just finished a war and he didn’t trust her. However, a few years of marriage and several children later they were so deeply in love, albeit quietly, that all of their surviving children were chronic romantics. The way he looks at her even in state portraiture is… speaking. She, tragically, died at 36 of an unknown degenerative disease, and he was utterly distraught. He could not hear her name without bursting into tears, rather to the surprise of the court, as he was not the heart-on-sleeve type, and refused the stringent efforts to convince him to remarry. He died four years after her of stomach cancer, and told his mother on his death bed that he had never had a happy day since her death. They were also both substantial people with a lot of integrity. Especially her. Open, compassionate, courageous, never broke her word. Also was supporting 17,000 people out of her household budget at the time of her death.
Baldwin II of Jerusalem and Morphia of Melitane; the king of Latin Jerusalem during the Crusades was more of a war chief than an administrative king, and his power levels were subject to negotiation, but he refused to divorce his Armenian wife Morphia in spite of the heavy pressures put on him by the nobility. The reason for that pressure was that they had only daughters, and were not expected to have more children. He arranged things so that his daughter Melisande could succeed him, which she did. And when Baldwin was captured by a neighboring Muslim ruler, Morphia orchestrated his rescue from the dungeon.
Nicholas II of Russia and Alexandra of Hesse were famously deeply in love. Embarrassing to be around, or so it was said. They tried very hard to be a great power couple, though, deeply unfortunately, neither of them was actually very good at it. But they did stick together until the end of the line.
John III Sobieski and Marie Casimire d’Arquien; before he was elected king of Poland, they fell in love, but she was married off to someone else; after her first husband’s death they were able to get together, and they had a very strong relationship and their correspondence is famous in Poland. He also took her political advice.
Charles I of England and Henrietta Maria of France; they got off, like many, to a bad start - she was too young, he was too titanically awkward, but they were highly devoted to one another for most of their marriage and he was noted to kiss her as often as the opportunity arose.
Edward I of England and Eleanor of Castile. He was utterly brutal, and in other ways a flawed character. Her shady dealings with money and property were infamous. But he despite his flaws was a superb husband, and she honest with him if not with others, and they were very much in love. After her death on the way to join him on one of his campaigns, he famously built Eleanor crosses to commemorate every place her body rested on its way to burial.
Empress Maria Theresa and Francis of Lorraine; they were first cousins, and married to join the daughter of the previous emperor to the nearest genetic heir in the male line, namely Francis, so that she could be empress despite the laws of succession forbidding female inheritance of the throne in Austria. She forged on through a war of succession and ran the empire, and he gave her the emotional support necessary to run the empire. And nearly as many children as George III and Charlotte. After he died she missed him and his support greatly.
Charles V and Isabella of Portugal. Maximilian I Holy Roman Emperor and Mary of Burgundy. Paul I of Russia and Maria Feodorovna. Just to name a few.
❤❤
Carl Gustav and Silvia?
Harry and Meghan ❤❤
Yep
I have to say I didn’t care for your list at all. You have people that I never heard of. Then to top it off you never put Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phelps. How could you miss them. Look how long they were married. You didn’t put Queen Nora and King Hussein and you had King Frederick and Queen Mary as honorable mentions. King Frederick parents were another one that had a love match.
Next time really think before you put a list out. This one sucks
I hope they break up
First!!!
Pellet pit add to pick up we Rachael Meghan Markle on him
