Yeah, but they lived in palaces and had plenty of clothes, plenty of money, no one starved in the palace either. They had the absolute best of everything. Let’s not forget that they could order the death of anyone..for any reason at any time. Slightly different than the “regular” people.
I've been watching Grunge for a long time, and this is the first time I've found an error. By a strange coincidence, right now I'm reading the book "Princesses Behaving Badly: Real Stories from History -- Without the Fairy-Tale Endings" by Linda Rodriguez McRobbie. According to McRobbie, the police conducted an investigation lasting several years after that wild party, and concluded that Princess Charlotte was not the blackmailer. The real culprits turned out to be the kaiser’s brother-in-law, Duke Ernest Gunther of Schleswig-Holstein, and his French mistress. Also . . . . What's so "beyond weird" about not being straight? Or not being conventionally attractive? Compared with a blood-drinking murderer who tortured her victims?
Surprised Mad King George and Empress Sissi were not mentally. Also so ironic that little girls want to be princesses, when in reality who wouldn't want to be a princess? Most of the time princesses lead a miserable life
It's fascinating how history reveals the complexities of royal lives. These stories are like a mix of drama and intrigue, keeping us hooked to the past. Makes you wonder what kind of tales future generations will tell about us, doesn't it? Speaking of stories, did you hear about the king who was so lazy he married his chambermaid? He wanted a queen-sized bed without having to change the sheets himself!
Some believe Bathory's crimes were largely fabricated by a Catholic Nobel and bishop in order to take her substantial property since she was then the sister to the king of Hungary and was the crown princess of Transylvania.
Yeah, her biography is fascinating and infuriatingly full of mystery! My conclusion is that she was a sadist, but no one would have cared if her family didn't owe a ton of money. The court evidence has tons of holes
While I have no first hand knowledge of being Royal, from small peeks into their lives makes me very thankful I'm 70, retired and live quite peacefully by myself and enjoy my family's gifts of fresh flowers, a well cooked meal and NO drama
These are the type of people lots of modern day people fantasize about being all classy and above the rest. but they were just nasty, weird people, no one special.
My right leg is shorter then my left my grandson has the same issue my mouth is so small they had to use the smallest tray they had to take a cast of my teeth I was also born with my 2 bottom teeth my granddaughter has a small mouth also with the same issue’s so both of them said to me…..Thankyou Grandma For My Short Right Leg And My Small Mouth ‼️‼️ Lol 🤣🤣
My grandfather had pes cavus or cave foot with a very high instep arch. My father had multiple lipomatosis. I have both. On top of that I am a Chimera with two sets of DNA and I have dyscalculia or difficulty understanding numbers. Despite this I have made it to 82 and still on my feet and generally in good shape for my age.
That last story…good god what a terrible way to die. Prince should have taken the poison. Suffocating or dying from dehydration/starvation in a locked chest is a gnarly way to execute your own son. One imagines he must’ve committed some atrocities to be punished so harshly, considering how much royalty could get away with in that time and place in history.
You should have met some of the Scottish people I have known in my life. Some of the Welsh are also very strong in insisting on their roots. When I am abroad I introduce myself as being English and that says to which of the four countries in the UK that I belong to. When travelling in Italy I found that most people who introduced themselves would give their name followed by, I am Venetian, or Florentine or Siennaese etc. and not I am Italian.
@@Kazza_8240 I have met many Scots who are very patriotic. My best mate Stewart was one of them, and another one who lived in England who put it in his will that his body must buried in Scotland no matter where he was when he died. My maternal great grandmother was a Halliday who came from Scotland.
I had a great aunt named Alexandria. Apparently her father had seen the name on a ship and liked it. He called his other daughter Christiania after the old name for Oslo. People always thought she was called Christina. As you probably know, Queen Victoria herself was Alexandrina Victoria.
You left out the part where Elizabeth Bathory was initially using blood of her servants to treat her epilepsy, she had seizures pretty regularly. She may have been sadistic but she didn't do it out of fun, she genuinely believed as she got older that bathing in the blood of young girls would keep her young forever, because that's the thought process her doctors had about her seizures.
Check out the 1975 English movie with the beautiful Ingrid Pitt called Countess Dracula. Lame title but it's a great movie about Elizabeth Bathory. I'm obsessed with English film from the 50s -70s.
Megan and Harry wanted out? They're as weird as any. Most of their "appearances" in the past few years appear to be CGI. They are not who people think they are. The authentic escapee would be poor Diana, who is quoted as saying "they (the Royals) are not human."
Ludwig the 2nd. Dressed as a knight riding in a clamshell boat, in a man made cave, listening to Wagner, and talking with his imaginary medieval friends.
The Prince George in this is not King George VI, it’s his brother. George VI’s first name was actually Albert, known as Bertie, he just took the name George when he became King.
I’ve always heard you can only survive 3 days without water. If he managed to survive 8 days he likely would have ingested his own urine in order to last that long.
"her mother basically ignored her since she was born"... so......is that typical in a royal household? I will just sit back and hope that someone that knows will answer.
The sound and video aren't lined up so it's making my head hurt watching his mouth move while speaking but hearing different sounds. Man, oh, man. It almost feels like I'm watching an AI.
So three of them were just homosexual or bisexual. It was unusual to be open about that during previous eras, but to call it "beyond weird" in 2024 is really kinda boring.
There is a little known or talked about phenomenon that affects the mental health of people who live a dream like life. When your life is perfect or nearly so and in particular when you live in an extremely luxurious and privileged life, you enter a sort of permanent pseudo dream like state where your connection with reality becomes fragile and tenuous. This is not universal but it is common. It is almost a sort of insanity or may actually rise to the level of insanity. You tend to believe things that are not real or disbelieve things that are. And you may often do things things that sane people do not do. Adversity grounds people in reality. Poverty and despair sprinkled into your life once in a while, closeness with death or danger, failures in life etc tends to keep one awake in the world of reality in a way that the extremely and profoundly privileged do not experience. Another way of saying this is if you have too much time on your hands and not enough to do your mind tends to wander into fantasy land. Premodern royalty is a prime example. Examine the lives of the most prominent pre 20th century royals and while we are at it, dictators (since they are little else but self appointed royalty) and you will find a wide variety of instances of insanity or at least behavior bordering on such. This sort of thing is often blamed on inbreeding which can also in of it self cause issues but inbreeding among royalty is, believe it or not, only slightly more prevalent than inbreeding among non royals and is almost statistically insignificant for the most part. There are exceptions like the Hapsburgs. Take almost anyone and put them into a situation where all their dreams come true, people adore them everywhere they go, they can have virtually anything they want just be expressing the desire for that thing and you end up with a person who will lose touch with reality. Look at child actors as an example. How many have ended up abusing drugs, engaging in reckless behavior, committing suicide etc?
I never in my wildest dreams or thoughts ever wanted to be a princess! I just don’t have that feeling in me period! And I love that!! Because I am the daughter of The real King! And I’m His daughter Princess and cherish child.. I honor and respect I bless His Holy name above any other name.. He is God, Father God! Amen 🙏
What, no Elizabeth of Wied? Bad poet, a notorious attention seeker, may have been bisexual (fine now, but horrifying then) and weirdly averse to clothes (more like not dressing for the conditions than being a nudist).

@@Candybear264 It still is. It is deviant from the norm. Despite the modern propaganda, it is still a very small percentage of the population worldwide.

Being homosexual (Isabella of Parma) or bisexual (the late Duke of Kent), or being chemically addicted or being adulterous (also the late Duke of Kent) are not weird at all, but are actually quite common attributes in human history.
