Gruel & wine is what a cordial was? Wow… BLEchh…
Thank you for another excellent episode my friend!
💙
Going so far in the extreme from generations of royal parents trading off their daughters, often as children, to be royal brides. Even when the intended grooms were decades older.
Poor rich people!
Sheltered lives, very sad. Only the marriage and children of the son's were valued.
…. Yep they got married in secret … And I'm so glad
Whenever I hear his intro I KNOW it's going to be good!
"Unless she had an hour of quiet to herself, she was fit for nothing."
So she was asking for things that pretty much every stressed out adult would like to have in their lives everyday, got it 😄
I didn't know Buckingham Palace's original name or how old Frogmore Cottage is. Another great history lesson. Thank you!
Thanks!
I love how respectful you are of the correct pronunciation of names.
It’s refreshing to see a young man interested in history. Your presentations are always interesting, and it amazes me to hear you pronounce some of the names and places no matter what language. Thank you for your dedicated work.
A very well written and presented video. No hyperbole just plain facts. Please do more on George III's family.
It’s possible there’s no known reply because her brother opted to grant her wish with the requested secrecy.
✨Thank you!!!✨❤️❤️❤️
Hello!!! It's a shame she was never married… Maybe… She has been in Love…I feel sorry for her.She lived a long life…Take care…Great Video!!!…Your fan&friend from USA 🇺🇸…🦋
I really hope that she did marry him
I believe with that she married the love of her life ❤
Thanks, FL.
Does anyone know if Queen Charlotte was mixed?
Why does your thumbnail have the 1864 'Princess Tarakanova' painting in it? 👎 You should use your visuals more responsibly.

Glad I was never born into a Royal life. You had to marry in your station. The majority of the time the girls never knew anything about the groom. Most were definitely not love matches. Some abusive. Your job was to produce a heir. You never saw your parents again. I guess George saw that because of his sister. I hope Augusta secretly married Spencer.
I think it's sad the girls basically weren't allowed to marry but the boys were wild. Sowing their seeds all over the place.
Really enjoyable and no AI. Please do videos on all of George III's daughters.
I wanted to hype but could not… i just absolutly love your channel❤
Thanks for another great video
There's a pretty good book called "Princesses: The Six Daughters of George III" if anyone here is interested in learning more about the lives of these oft-forgotten women.
So sad that Royal daughters have rarely been allowed agency over their own lives. They were either contracted in marriage to other European royalty and expected to produce male heirs, without any consideration to how they felt, or forced to remain spinsters whether they wanted it or not. It's the tragedy of being born female that we're still fighting to overcome. 😢
I never understood why George III didn’t allow any of his daughters to marry. I know 3 of them eventually married but the others never did!
Even if he didn’t want them to leave England and marry abroad, he could have encouraged them to marry English lords or gentlemen.
Looking at how his sons turned out as well, I’m thinking George III and his Queen were very bad parents.
You forgot about Amelia
I choose to believe she married. ❤😊❤
I think most if not all of his daughters didn't marry or married really late in life.
Oh absolutely NOT! Im so thankful I live in modern times
I think it's very sad that the daughters were essentially kept like pets and denied the opportunities to have their own families.
Thank you so much FL ❤🎉❤🎉
I always enjoyed your background music 🎵🎶❤
FLives and his chilling time! I love when i see your notification on my phone 😊 Thank you for this great video 🙂

Thank you! What an incredible life to have lived but such a pity to never be free to really do as she wanted.
