- Like any family, the British royals have feuded amongst each other.
- It's believed that Princess Diana didn't get along with her husband, Prince Charles, or her mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth.
- The press was blamed for Princess Diana's untimely death.
Matilda vs. the people
At the age of 58, King Henry I appointed his daughter, Matilda, the heir to the throne of England and Normandy once he passed. But, it was 1126 — and the people weren’t very happy about the new heir because they had never had a woman ruler. The king’s death led to a 19-year civil war that eventually ended in a peace treaty. (Even though there's sometimes drama, the royal family must always follow these etiquette rules.)
George II vs. Prince Frederick
George II and his son Prince Frederick seemed to have hated each other since day one. Frederick grew up away from his father in Hanover and by 1737, they were barely on speaking terms. George II ignored his son and Frederick didn’t talk to his mother. Because of the family drama, the prince was forced to smuggle his pregnant wife away from the court in fear of his father forcing her to stay there. (This is how much the current British royal family is actually worth.)
Queen Victoria vs. Princess Beatrice
Princess Beatrice was Queen Victoria's youngest daughter. In 1884, she traveled to Germany and fell in love with a young man that she wanted to marry. However, the queen did not approve of the match and refused to speak to her daughter, except in writing, for the next seven months. They eventually made up on Christmas day.
