      What? This comment makes no sense. I’m pretty sure she’s from the US, the US doesn’t have monarchs, you know, there was a whole war against the English back in 18th century over it, so it’s probably not her culture, either. Secondly, she talked about, I dunno, 5 different countries in that quiz? Yes, most where from the UK, but there was French one, South Africa, Russian, etc (I was half asleep, I don’t really remember the exact countries, I only watched this one cause I had it on auto play as I was sleeping because I like the ones she does about the Ottoman Empire). So which culture are you talking about, presumably the English but wth can tell when so many cultures were mentioned. So I don’t know how knowing history of several countries “terrified” you. The reason I like the Ottoman ones is cause I lived in Turkey and wanted to learn about the Sultanate of the women since I only really learned about the sultans there, should I be “terrified” that I’m becoming a Turkish nationalist, I can assure you that will never happen. Way to lump a bunch of cultures together, smh.

    • @jeandehuit5385
      @jeandehuit5385 3 года назад +6

      He was also the 'rightful' heir (or as close as you can get to it in an elective monarch like Denmark's), being the grandson of her elder sister.
      Margaret of Denmark was also, critically, NOT the ruling queen of Denmark at the time. She was Queen consort of Norway & Sweden, & she was the regent & power-behind-the-throne of Denmark during the reigns of her son & sister's grandson, but she was never queen in her own right.
      Margrethe II of Denmark is actually Denmark's first ruling queen. She chose her regnal number in honor of her cousin & predecessor, but Margaret 'I' never actually existed. Much like how there were already 7 kings named Haakon who ruled in Norway b/f Haakon VII took his regnal number as the 1st independent Norwegian king in centuries (& also the 1st 'native' Norwegian king to use a regnal number).
      Consequently, 6 of the prior Haakons had to be back-dated w/ regnal numbers, w/ a junior-king/claimant-king of that name discarded as a 'ruling' king.

    Lindsay-- the Age of Majority to assume the throne without a regent is 18 (in the UK; I don't know about other countries), not 21 as you said in the video. Queen Victoria was just barely age 18 when her uncle died and she assumed the throne. She did not need a regent. Otherwise, great video! 😊👍

    • @gidzmobug2323
      @gidzmobug2323 3 года назад +18

      Correct--the age of majority is 18. But the requisite age for a Counsellor of State (who acts on the monarch's behalf) is 21, as per the 1937 Regency Act (exception made for the first-in-line).

    Little tip for ya, when an heir becomes the monarch, they choose a regnal name. Charles can choose any name he wishes, it’s also very possible that he won’t go by Charles because the past two Charles weren’t the best kings. Same for William and George, when they succeeded, they can choose any name they wish, or keep theirs just like The Queen did.

      A queen mother differs from a dowager queen in that the former is both a widowed queen consort AND the mother of the reigning monarch. There is no law or rule restricting the title of dowager queen to only one woman. Between 1216-1230 the title was shared by the widows of Richard I and John; between 1422-1437 by the widows of Henry IV and Henry V; and between 1701 and 1705 the widows of Charles II and James II. During the reign of George VI Queen Mary was Queen Mother, as she was the widow of George V and mother of George VI. Upon Elizabeth II succession she ceased being Queen Mother as she was grandmother not mother to the reigning monarch.

    In the instance where George is gay and is married would the spouse be referred to as the prince consort?

    • @reyisawesome
      @reyisawesome 3 года назад +41

      In theory, probably? I mean George would be King so it would be weird if his husband was also King(Consort), so I see Prince Consort being a good compromise. Plus George's Great Grandfather and 5 times Great Grandfather were both Princes Consorts officially and unofficially, so it seems fitting

      @raphaelledesma9393 3 года назад +15

      That would be very inconvenient tho. The heir’s legitimacy is borne both from ancestral blood and being the product of a valid marriage. So if George were gay and he married a man, then Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis better have children from a valid marriage. I don’t see this norm going away even after a generation. I must admit I ran off topic there. It’s a thought experiment I once indulged in. Haha

      Prince is not a title that is inherited. Albert was Prince Consort because a) he was born a prince and b) was especially given the title of Prince Consort. Philip has no title of consort and was only created a prince in 1957, 5 years after the Queen had ascended the throne

      @@jeffkardosjr.3825 -- But William is a Prince. The children of the monarch's male children are titled princes and princesses. Thems are the rules. So this includes Prince William and Prince Harry (sons of Prince Charles), and Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie (daughters of Prince Andrew). Prince Edward declined the titles for his children (but could still change his mind), and Princess Anne's children don't get such titles due to her being female.
      Buy I agree it is more appropriate to use William's title of Duke of Cambridge when referencing him and his wife jointly. Kate is certainly not "Princess Katherine."
      Finally, William's children are ALL titled princes and princess only by order of the Queen, and not by the rules set down in 1917.

    • @thealucas7247
      @thealucas7247 3 года назад +45

      I agree. The term is silly and it seems he probably has other issues to not want to be buried next to his wife over it. If he was being discriminated against purely because he is male then it wouldn’t be “reverse” sexism, it would just be plain sexism. Like racism, it doesn’t matter whom is being discriminated against so long as it is because of uncontrollable features like race or sex.
      I have a theory that women were not as frequently in positions of power because positions of power were often associated with fighting in or handling wars. Men are typically better suited to physical conflict and women throughout history were likely even less fit due to risks of bearing children. I theorize that women were not so readily put into power because men value the safety of women more than they do of men. It would also explain the many exceptions because it would account for men valuing women highly and in some cases it translated to allowing them to have power. If men as a whole purely hated women/didn’t want them to hold any power then we wouldn’t have exceptions. That being said it would still be called sexism to prevent a women from going to war because she’s a women. I just don’t think there could have been that much malice behind it given the exceptions.
