From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.

    "Mary suffered from low spirits" is that old timey talk for depression im assuming
  • @larapaulyn1488
    what the two daughters did was slapping their father right in the face when Mary put back the Catholicism and Elizabeth ended the Tudor dynasty.
  • @m0L3ify
    "Henry loved children." Aw, that's so nice! "He used his daughter as a political pawn." Wait, what? "And he also used her as emotional blackmail against her mother." Hold up...

    I'm all of a sudden interested in the history of English monarchy.

    Katherine of Aragón had more balls than Henry when she was pregnant she got on a horse and rescued him in battle

    I always hated history in school but I find myself as I get older watching more and more history and loving it lol 😆

    "women were controlled by emotions not reason" [Henry VIII has entered the chat]
  • @irawilliams343
    Mary and Elizabeth had a loving relationship when their father was still alive. They were united by blood but divided by the crown.
  • It always blows my mind at how close Mary came to executing Elizabeth, and how much that would have changed history.
  • @jmie5
    Bless Mary for treating her sister far better than Henry ever treated his children.

    Imagine getting cancer, only you don't know because there's no way of finding out, and then it's taken for pregnancy. You think it's something joyous, when it's really a mortal disease. When the pregnancy is revealed to be false, you are not only left with humiliation and isolation, but enormous physical pain of something you still don't know what is, and have no idea how to treat. It would have to be the worst of all.

    Edward who was so badly wanted by his father DIES at 15....anyone else think that it was karma?
  • @InnateNobility
    A lot of these portraits are of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots -- not Mary Tudor. They are being used because there's a severe lack of portraiture for Mary Tudor.
  • And we've recently lost queen Elizabeth II. I was always fascinated by the Tudor sisters, and loved reading about the life of Elizabeth I. What a privilege it was to witness a queen of England who's authority wasn't questioned and who was also named after my favorite queen 🤍
  • "Together, the two sisters rode together into London." 😩 Must have been beautiful to watch
  • @c.s.7266
    Poor Mary. She deserved to be treated better by her father.
  • Henry’s excuse was it was “incest” I- THATS THE ENTIRETY OF ROYALTY
  • @pleuvixr4408
    I have the greatest respect for all the queens that married henry. They all went through something bad with him, all the queens were powerful women.
