All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel

Description

Hello everyone and nice to see you back. Kings, queens and emperors come and go, but who was the shortest reigning monarch in history? While Queen Elizabeth II is officially the world's longest reigning monarch with her 69 years old tenure, other monarchs from history were not so lucky. Luis Filipe, the Prince Royal of Portugal was the eldest son and heir of the King of Portugal, Carlos I. On the 1st February 1908, when he was just 20, he and his family were returning to Lisbon, when they were attacked by revolutionaries. Carlos I died immediately, while Luis Filipe himself was fatally wounded, still alive for an excruciating twenty minutes. As he was next in line for the monarch, he subsequently became King of Portugal for the same brief period following the assassination of his father. His younger brother Manuel survived the attack, having only been shot in the arm, while the queen was unharmed. Manuel succeeded to the throne as Manuel II but two years later was overthrown in a military coup when the Portuguese First Republic was established and monarchy abolished. If you found this interesting, please stay with us as we move on with some more interesting stories where reigns were shortened by everything, from assassination and intrigue, to democratic movements that sought complete abolishment.
Please check the video to see a list of shortest reigning kings, queens and emperors!
