Mary, The Princess Royal

Описание: Princess Mary: The Forgotten Princess Royal | Regal Chronicles

She was born into a world of opulence, duty, and suffocating royal protocol — the only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, and the beloved sister of two kings. Yet despite standing at the very heart of the British monarchy during some of its most turbulent years, Princess Mary, Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood remains one of the most overlooked figures in royal history.

In this atmospheric episode of Regal Chronicles, we unravel the poignant, complex, and often melancholic life of Princess Victoria Alexandra Alice Mary — known simply as Princess Mary. From her birth at Sandringham in 1897, under the imposing shadow of Queen Victoria, to her unfulfilled romances, wartime service, and quietly tragic marriage, this is the untold story of a princess who deserved a crown of her own.

👑 What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

The strict upbringing Princess Mary endured under Queen Victoria’s relentless expectations.

How she charmed a famously reserved Queen Mary and became her father King George V’s favorite child.

Mary’s touching wartime contributions during World War I, including her iconic Princess Mary’s Gift Fund, which sent Christmas boxes to over two million soldiers at the front.

The immense pressure she faced to marry within royal expectations — and how she finally wed Henry Lascelles, Viscount Lascelles in 1922 in a media frenzy dubbed the royal wedding of the decade.

The hidden heartbreaks of her married life at Harewood House, far from the glamour of court.

How she navigated the royal family's darkest moments — including the abdication crisis of 1936 — with steadfast dignity.

Her unwavering loyalty to King George VI and the young Princess Elizabeth, even as her own light faded from public memory.

📜 Why Princess Mary’s Story Matters:
Though often eclipsed by her famous brothers — Edward VIII and George VI — Princess Mary was a vital, unyielding presence within the House of Windsor. She embodied royal resilience during the monarchy’s most uncertain hours, yet her story remains one of history’s quieter tragedies: a royal woman born to serve but denied a destiny of her own making.
