On the 14th January 1892 inside of Sandringham House, the eldest son of the latter King Edward VII died from a deadly epidemic which had been sweeping across Britain. As he lay inside of his chambers, he would take his final breath and across the nation there was great shock and also upset/ Prince Albert Victor was considered by many to have been a great hope for the British monarch, but he would not become King or the Prince of Wales due to the fact his father remained in these posts due to the long reign of his grandmother Queen Victoria. Whilst Albert Victor lay inside of his deathbed, vigils took place around him with his close family members praying that he would get better, however this would not happen and at just the age of 28 the eldest son of the heir to the British throne would slip away.

he DID NOT marry anyone, certainly not princess Mary, later Queen Mary. They were only engaged. He died before their marriage. She later married his brother, as arranged by Victoria again.

Why debase your otherwise adequate videos with hyperbolical HORRIFIC headlines? Death by cholera, bronchitis, or lung cancer - even for a royal - is advertised as HORRIFIC only by those publishers wishing to gain more viewership clicks by luring the type of folks hoping to view HORRIFIC details of death and dying. One is either a historian or a mountebank: One can't have it both ways.

Not really a 'horrific' death but an untimely one. Many tricky words to deal with here - best to look up the pronunciation online to keep mistakes to a minimum, when posting your commentary! (By way of example - strychnine is pronounced 'strick-neen'; viceroy 'vice-er-roy; miasma 'my-asma' and from your very interesting video on Queen Victoria's funeral - scintillating is pronounced with a soft 'c' so 'sintillating not skintilating - just sayin'!).

@i.p.956 Жыл бұрын

It depends on the accent and the region (US or UK). In the UK some people pronounce lieutenant as "leftenant" and the rest of the world pronounces it "lootenant", same goes for viceroy - lots of people would pronounce it "vais-roy". I'm sorry but it's slightly rude to correct people's pronunciation unless they asked you to critique them. Not everyone who speaks English is born in the UK and not everyone speaks English as their first language.

It really was not a question of "intelligence" but an inability to concentrate. The Cambridge tutor who famously claimed when he first knew the prince that he "hardly knows the meaning of the words 'to read'" came to believe there was nothing wrong with him except that he couldn't concentrate for more than a few seconds which obviously impacted his learning. These days, that would be diagnosed as ADD or similar. His handwritten letters absolutely prove his intellect was normal.

I think he might have wanted to drastically change the monarchy and the people who were really in charge weren't going to have any of it (just like Princess Diana). He was probably murdered.

I did not hear what a couple of you thought you heard about Albert Victor marrying Princess Mary of Tech. The narrator made it clear they were engaged; that is all. Queen Victoria seemed to use her children/grandchildren as chess pieces, moving them wherever she wanted political gain. She married for love. Why couldn't she have done the same for her family? It boggles the mind. If Prince Albert had not passed when he did, I wonder what influence he would have had on his children's desires to marry for love. This manipulation has played havoc for generations in the family.

@Iosinggamex Жыл бұрын

George V was never described as 'not intelligent', but as not intellectual. Meaning, he had no interest in arts, culture or philosophy. Not being intellectual doesnt mean you arent intelligent.

@here_we_go_again2571 Жыл бұрын

Albert Victor's and George V.'s (the 5th's) father, Edward vii, was not a good student and considered to "not be very bright." King Edward vii's younger brother Alfred (Alfred Ernest Albert) -- who (like , his nephew. George V) was trained for a naval career (beginning 1850's) was considered to be more intelligent than his older brother, Edward vii. Alfred was made the Duke of Edinburgh by Queen Victoria. He later became the sovereign Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (1893 -- 1900) when his paternal uncle (Ernest ii of S-C, G) died. (Ernest ii was the older brother of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband)
