The Danish Royal Family / Series on Danish Royal Family
« on: November 08, 2017, 09:41:40 AM »
On YT, there is a series (6 parts) about the descendants of Christian IX, titled A Royal Family. From the comments, I'm assuming it was done several years back, but has only recently been dubbed in English. I found it fascinating, even if some of the audio is dropped in spots due to copyright issues.

Carolina of Parma married Prince Maximilian of Saxony, and they had seven children, all of whom have Wiki pages except for Klemens. He died at age 24 - does anyone know what happened?

Does anyone know how Ruggerio Maria, son of Ferdinand Pius and Maria Ludwiga, died? He was only 13, and his death prompted a family schism.

I can't believe no one will buy Tatoi, if only to keep it from falling to ruins. I wish the British RF would buy it since it's the DoE's family buried there.

No, I know that. But they didn't tell US that. This time they made a point of saying "We have a name but we're waiting on the Queen."

Anyhoo. It doesn't matter. They did what I thought they WOULDN'T do, which is honor Diana. I thought at the very least, they'd use Frances as a middle.

It seemed like the made a POINT of doing a release/leak that they had decided on a name and were waiting to tell the Queen. They didn't do that with George.

I wonder if waiting to tell the Queen wasn't because they were using Elizabeth, but to tell her they were using Diana. This, coupled with using Diana's engagement ring, is William's way of saying "You're not going to erase my mother from memory."

Has one ever seen the memorial, sculpted by Jules Dalou, to Helena's deceased infants, Harald and the unnamed stillborn boy? Where is it?

They seemed like they were having a great time at the Sochi speed-skating venue yesterday!

The Hohenzollern / Re: The Reuss family
« on: January 17, 2014, 09:05:45 AM »
Last night I saw an older (2008) episode of Antiques Roadshow UK, and there was a man on there who had a collection of memorabilia from Viktoria Margarete of Prussia.  His great-great aunt, I think, was her nanny.  There were some pictures and momentos, including a four-page handwritten inventory of Viktoria Margarete's jewelry.

I looked her up on Wikipedia and noticed she passed away at the young age of 33.  Does anyone know what happened?

I'm still holding out for my dark horses - Helena and Mathilda. Helena because it's the only one of Victoria's daughter's names that hasn't been used by the RF, and Mathilda because, if this baby is a girl, then she'll be the first English monarch who will rule over a brother since Mathilda/Maud. (Right? I think that's right.) But that's just me!

I still think George for a boy, but my dark house there is Arthur.

The Hohenzollern / Re: Schaumburg Lippe family

I was reading up on royalty who sympathized with or were members of the Nazi party, and I came across Prince Friedrich Christian of Schaumburg-Lippe.  His wikipedia entry lists a daughter, Marie Elisabeth, who died at age 16.  Does anyone know how she died?
