- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Hedvig Elisabeth Charlotte was a German princess who married the brother of Gustav III, the king of Sweden. It was hoped that her arranged marriage to a Swedish duke would help secure the succession to the crown. It turned out that in the end Charlotte was not able to produce an heir. What she accomplished though was offering a written account of life at the Royal Court during the late part of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. She was a very intelligent princess who found her vocation in life through writing.

I love listening to your voice. I have a friend from the Netherlands who died with Covid. I miss her and you sound just like her!
I am so sorry for your loss. You made me cry.
My condolences...
Queens named “Charlotte” are always my fav🏰
Nice. It makes perfect sense :) Thank you for watching Charlotte.
I like story and more with narration perfect. Perfect AUDIO too. Thank you so much.
Thank you for watching. Glad you liked it.
I love your stories they always make me want to research more about the person. I am now on the hunt for a book about Queen Charlotte!
Yes, that is the intention to make others interested about different historical figures and personalities. Thank you for watching.
Indeed. Now I will look for her memoirs. Chapeau.
its so fascinating to see her change I the paintings from the 12700s style to the 1800s style. its such a drastic change lol
Indeed.
I am sorry I haven’t been watching your videos for the last few weeks. I enjoyed today’s video as well. There is a difference between videos made with love and videos made for commercial purposes. This is one of the very lovely videos. I love history, which is why I also love this channel. Keep going!
Thank you for saying that. I also LOVE history.
Von Fersen like Marie Antoinette's beau?
Yes, she was the sister to Axel von Fersen.
Great video, thank you so much.
Thank you for watching Julia.
I love these videos so much, thank you for continuing to make them!
Glad you like them! Thank you for watching Tessa.
Great video again. You make history so interesting. You have a lovely voice, making it so much better.
Thank you very much! I am so glad you think so.
Sad about her children
Yes. I was thinking if she had had children history would have been different. No problems for the succession to the crown, Bernadotte would have not probably been king ... life is weird. Thank you for watching.
15 year old marriage with 25 year old would be called paedophilia these days. Looked beautiful like her mother. People of promiscuous character don't have children usually due to STDs as we now discover.
Thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful presentation.!❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another superb story well narrated and very interesting as always thank you. 👍
Thank you very much.
@@livesandhistories Always a plesure I look forward to your next slice of history hope your well? Enjoy your weekend.
@@robertdudley4017 Sure, stay tuned for more videos. You have a nice weekend too.
@@livesandhistories Thank you L&H 👍
She seems to be very down to earth
From what I read about her, it seems so. Thank you for watching.
What other people besides Bernadotte were being considered to inherit the throne?
Initially, Charles XIII of Sweden adopted Charles August, a Danish Prince, as his son and heir. But the Crown Prince died shortly after; therefore, his brother, Frederick Christian II, was chosen as his replacement. As this agreement lasted only 2 weeks, the final choice fell on Bernadotte.
@@livesandhistories so no other candidates were in the running other than Bernadotte? For instance, not Swedish or from a royal background?
@@hepsabaptron00 As far as I know, Gustav, Prince of Vasa, the grandson of Gustav III of Sweden, was nominated by the Gustavian Party to be recognised as Crown Prince, but this proposal was not successful.
