Queen Victoria was a very complicated and fascinating woman. Like most people with these characteristics, Victoria was selfish, bossy, rude, conceited and in all truth, simply not a nice person, but quite interesting.
Alexandra also had some dementia before her death. She had a run-in with her grandson George V and Queen Mary when her sister Dagmar convinced her that as Dowager Queen she should outrank Mary like she did in Russia as Dowager Empress. Alfred's heir to Coburg was his nephew Charles-Edward (son of Prince Leopold) only because neither Alfred's next oldest brother Arthur, Duke of Connaught or Arthur's son wanted it. Helena's daughter, Princess Alice unfortunately was a hemophilia carrier who passed it on to her sons. Helena's son the Duke of Coburg and the Hanoverian Duke of Cumberland were not stripped of their British titles, but the titles are in "abeyance" and could be restored at some point (Prince Ernst of Hanover asked Queen Elizabeth for her permission when he married Caroline of Monaco). Excellent video.
I think having Victoria as a mother in law would have been about as awful as having root canal work! Lol! That said, I think Alexandra is the most beautiful queen the British ever had, but I don't like how she tried to prevent her daughters from marrying The one daughter didn't. What was up with that? In that era, it was expected that daughters would marry. I think it was Victoria.
It seems to me that Queen Victoria was a terrible person to her children and their spouses. But she doted on her favorite grandchild Alix of Hesse and by Rhine. She was a complicated person. Just an opinion.
Interesting information however, the piano in the background is very distracting. I don''t understand why it's used in so many videos. Maybe not using it should be tried, I gave up trying to listen at 6:09.

One of Queen Elizabeth's middle names was Alexandra, after her great grandmother Queen Alexandra.
Very interesting
It was all quite incestuous.
Nicholas II was Alexandra's nephew not her grand nephew.

Some ugly broads.🤢
Denmark had semi Salic succession until 1953
Maria looks like her grand daughter Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna Romanov the daugther of her nephew Czar Nicholas
They should have left them at the alter from day one
