Uncover the scandal of Princess Viktoria of Prussia marrying Alexander Anatolievitch Zoubkoff 35 years younger in this intriguing video. Princess Viktoria of Prussia (1866-1929), the second daughter of Frederick III, German Emperor, and Victoria, Princess Royal of the UK, was raised in a liberal, Anglophile environment. Despite her royal status, her personal life was marked by romantic disappointments. Initially in love with Alexander of Battenberg, political objections prevented their marriage. She later married Prince Adolf of Schaumburg-Lippe and, after his death, caused a scandal by marrying a much younger Russian refugee. Viktoria's life reflected the complexities and challenges of European nobility during a time of significant change.

What a sad story. It shows you can have riches and titles but it doesn’t guarantee happiness. Great video as always, Jon!

It's a powerful reminder that true happiness comes from within. Thank you Trish

I found your video to be quit accurate. Times were very harsh then and Victoria suffered greatly loss of her children 😢 😞 💔 Thank you 😊

Loneliness is more than enough for 2 people to have in common. However, its a shame he showed himself unworthy of her love,gifts,and lifestyle.

The majority of Queen Victoria's grandchildren had unhappy lives.

I read her memoir. The memoir is moderately interesting, but the last chapter, about her meeting with & love for Zoubkov is heartbreaking. She must have thought he was Alexander of Battenberg reincarnated (I think).

Indomitable spirit? As portrayed, she sounds fragile, emotionally dysregulated and abandoned by family. She was vulnerable and her family did not stop the emotional exploitation around her. That's a very sad story.

What a sad life. Seems that Queen Victoria's children and grands had many issues of their own to deal with.

I would have sympathy for her families’ interference and control of her love life except that was overshadowed by who and what her brother was. Their parents are a good study on the importance of paying attention to your children. Psycho Willie was tortured and unloved as a child.
