I love these videos on not so well known historical families, they are so fascinating and shows how the upper class society was less forgiving for scandal than what was allowed for ordinary people. ❤
How do you get ‘fathaah’ from father?
Daisy's sons are the worst…
George doesn't have children
Constance's children are the best.
Would definitely like to hear more!
“Dirty Bertie” certainly fit King Edward VII. I know that early marriage was a thing back in the 19th century, but a 30 something crown prince carrying on with a 16 year old is just disgusting.🤢 I’m glad Patsy was able to get something out of their relationship to “help” her family. Marrying for money is definitely not all that it’s hyped up to be!
that was both interesting and entertaining. I'm always glad to come back to your videos.
I also love the pacing of your speech. it's easy to follow and stay concentrated.
My father told me that we descended from the West line that brought people across the Oregon trail. Descended from the B. V. Delaware.
❤
Could you look in to James Smithson? He gave the founding donation to build the Smithsonian in the US but he was born the illegitimate child of a woman from Bath in the UK.
Extremely detailed Fascinating series ❤
Their Story Was So Confusing, I Thought It Was An Episode From Jerry Springer.
Speak a bit faster please.
Really impressive – one family manages to encompass all that was and still is wrong with british “society” I guess we should be grateful so few of them managed to spawn.. well done on the video though, beautifully researched.
Thank you so much for covering Patsy and her family. She was Lillie Langtry's close friend and confidante along with Oscar Wilde. I am very intrigued by Mary–it would be wonderful to hear more about her, and her racing career, as she sounds quite gutsy and way ahead of her time!
Their brother wrote a book which I read as a teenager. It was fairly tedious
❤
Another great one for the books! Thank you
Thanks very much.
The name ‘FITZ’ added to surnames, indicated the illegitimate child of royalty. As per King Henry vIII
The women didnt hesitate to lift their skirts .
I so enjoy your content! Thank you❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Prince of Wales at that time was a pure hedonistic creature! He would sleep with just about anything, totally disgusting! Of very low morals, he had numerous illegitimate children.
Not scandalous at all. It was awful to have to negotiate this quagmire of stuffy toffs. I hope someone in this arranged mess was happy.
Ridiculous real estate. 400 rooms! You can't live in that. It's a museum rather than a home.
I bet it was cold, the food was never warm. The kitchens are so far from the dining room the food is served cold.
This was the way it was in Buckingham Palace. It took a half hour to get from the kitchen to dining area.
When ppl hear about King Charles III ordering 7 soft boiled eggs started at different times was so he could get a bloody soft boiled egg that was not too hard, or soft or cold.
The food doesn't go to waste. Someone eats the rest or puts it into a salad.
Best channel ever.
Thank you I really loved this video
I love every time I see a new upload from you. Thank you for your work. ❤
Profoundly fascinating! Thanks so much!!
Be still my heart, those lips. 🙂
Wow, this was a crazy bunch! I love the picture of Stella with the tiny dog! Good job on this one!
Wasn't it Patsy who tried to blackmail Bertie after he became king by threatening to publish his letters to her?
Yes definitely follow up on her daughters. I really enjoyed this episode as I do all of your research but I was not as familiar with this family. Thank you so much for your dedication and commitment to the history and passion to presenting your reviews.☮️
😂 you gave me a bit of a clue about my family history. My grandmother insisted that we were German despite speaking Polish at home growing up. Her grandparents came to the US in the late 1800s. When myself & my cousins did our dna (our dad's were brothers) we had no German ancestry & were actually Polish. The funny thing is that our dad's surname appeared to be German, except he was not either. The majority of the matches were in Silesia and lesser in the north of Poland. My grandmother's family also changed their last name to something that sounded more English.
I knew the name George Cornwallis-West through his marriage to Jenny Churchill, but didn't know much more than that. Thank you ~ fascinating presentation. 💫
Would love to hear more about Mary! We love a gender role breaking queen
Time to get involved with you, narrating those intriguing histories, yet, fabulous to listen to. Thanks FLives!
This family is like a bad soap opera!
Another great upload 😀
First!!!!😊
