  • Fascinating film but King George is NOT the KIng of England. He's the BRITISH king. Its insulting to Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish - who all together make up the United Kingdom - and who give their loyalty to the British monarch.

    Why do so many people - particularly people from the USA - find this concept so difficult to grasp??

  • Dear rightmoment , often I need to put the titles short as possible so they can enter. However in the world it is customary to say "the king of England" simply. So they say in all media E.G in fren say only le roy/reine d'Inglaterrre, not the "roy du royome uni ou de la Grande Bretagne", idem in spanish etc.

  • @rightmoment I know right? Same mistake with the German Monarchies, people say Emperor of Germany, but that is offense to Austrians alike, the correct title was German Emperor.

  • @UnleashedKane And according to history book - the Kaiser was Victoria's favourite grandson and he was at Osborne House when she died with his arm around her.

  • @thebritish25 King George V & Queen Mary were in Berlin for the 1913 wedding of Princess Viktoria Luise with Prince Ernst August of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg. I wonder if this video is from that visit or from a proper State Visit from The King & Queen to Emperor Wilhelm II & Empress Auguste Viktoria... Thanks for replying.

  • @UnleashedKane so was Tsar Nicolas II of Russia while the King of Greece was the borther in law of Whilhelm.

    Foxy Ferdinand of Bulgaria was of Prussian dessent and Im sure there is much more.

    But from the end of the Roman Empire to the end of the first world war when the world was ruled by monarchies everyone was everyone eles brother cousin father mouther uncle auntie etc

  • @MrPeterMichael Well the war started in 1914 and Edward VII died in 1910 so somewhere bettween them four years sorry I cant be more specsific

  • @rightmoment Well, technically he's also the King of England but I grasp your point. Most Americans don't have any teaching in anything near that specific on the various elements of the UK. And most of the non-english speaking world doesn't care enough to even witness the issue come up so that's why it might seem like more from the US don't grasp it. I think a great number of Scots would just assume he be specifically their monarch as they attempt to set themselves toward independent.
