What Happened To Myanmar's Royal Family? | Burma's Lost Royals

This is a must watch for all currently reigning monarchs in the world

If you return the king to his home you must also must return the 1st princess home.

istj estj istp estp.

Why do you want to bring back the royal family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Royals only rob the people and impose heavy taxes to steal from you!!!!

The British Imperialsts past and present are serial killers.

Once upon a time Burma
was rich and good people
According to the kingdom
History Burma was ruined
by queen Mei Nu .
According to the history
She killed many people .
Prince Ka Naung was killed. These are Bad history .

Burmese kingdoms were Always brutal.. They always have massacred millions of people in North East India & Thailand.. They have brutally killed everyone in their neighboring regions... So, What happened to them is their own karma..& so, Almighty have punished them for their brutalities.

Sad
King Thibaw invited the East India Company to come into Burma to trade, but they captured him and exiled him! And worst give a country and people as a gift to queen victoria! Taken the country poor, then plant opium in the golden triangle to go unto china thru yunnan! That how HK was lost! And
now drugs plague the world! Tis is A long apology england owes Myanmar!

The British are assholes, why didn't they allow the body of the king to be moved back ???? Even after their death, they still want to antagonize them.

Kolonial Inggris yang merusak macro cosmos ( mandala) tatanan negara Burma ketika mereka menghapus kerajaan.kekosongan raja diisi militer yang tak bagus dalam mengurus negara.sama seperti Jerman ketika Kaisar di suruh pergi maka Hitler yang mengganti.

The difficult thing is myanmar people don't recognize their own royal family because Royal family in the past are full with discrimination to public , arrogant behaviors in every royal families .

I don't like British...but I learned the language...at least I know their ideas on someone and something 😂

Very sad situation for the royals.

‘Let the sleeping dog lie’ ‘ချေးခြောက်ရေနူးမနေနဲ့’

It might be difficult for some to believe but that colonial era is the best time in a thousand years history. Everybody longs for it especially this time of the year.

Small correction. Britain invaded the North of Burma in 1885. It had occupied the South in 1824.

Typical British land thieves.

I am really curious when they filmed this documentary because I saw greatgrand son with Min Aung Hliang whether to get permission to get the remains of King ThiBaw to Myanmar. At that time 2016 , the country's government is NLD, Daw Aung San Su Kyi. Why did he need to ask permission from the general. Realizing we have not gotten and known the taste of Democracy really cause me shocked.

It makes perfect sense why the Burmese people remember Mindon as their last king, as he valiantly defended Burma against Britain. In contrast, Theebaw, his son, made no significant contributions, leading to his being forgotten. This historical pattern resonates with Puyi, the last ruler of China, who later became a puppet of Japanese imperialism, further illustrating the impact of leadership on a nation's memory and legacy.

"Sick man of Europe" is a label given to a nation located in Europe experiencing economic difficulties, social unrest or impoverishment.Throughout the 1960s to the 1980s, the term was also most notably used for the United Kingdom when it lost its superpower status as the Empire crumbled and its home islands experienced significant deindustrialization, coupled with high inflation and industrial unrest – such as the Winter of Discontent – including having to seek loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Since the mid-2010s and into the 2020s, the term being used for Britain with  cost-of-living crisis and industrial disputes in 2023.

Why they couldn't restore the monarchy?

Myanmar has many dynasties. Every last king of each dynasty failed to unit the country. Among all, the history of king Thibaw was the worst for Being a puppet of his own men. Of course, no one remember him because he did nothing for the country.

What a shame the sound is so low.

🙏

bro now we have military Min Aung Hlaing 💀💀💀

very weak sound. I can hardly hear it on full sound. Please try again this time louder sound. From London, England.

Can hardly hear this

Life goes on. Enjoy civilian life. No more soecial treatment

Interesting but the introduction is tendentious and inaccurate. Thibaw Min came to the throne on the back of massacring any possible rivals,and then proved to be indolent and incapable of governing successfully in comparison with his predecessor Mindon MIn. It is debatable whether Burma, as it was, 'ever had a thousand years of monarchy'. "The royal family 'vanished', (if it had done so, this video would have had nobody to interview) and the country was plunged into war and the longest military dictatorship of modern times". Do you mean the British colonialists count as a military dictatorship? Some telescoping here for the uninitiated. Unfortunately, this wonderful country is currently plunged back into the darkness from which it desperately needs help to emerge. Nostalgia is not going to help.

I’ll rather call the country Burma instead of Myanmar, to Myanmar means chaos and political instability.

As a mixed thai I'm sorry to hear about this. I have learnt the thai history about how Burma invaded thailand during the ayutthaya era since a very young age but thought that till now there were still the descendents holding some sort of power in the country but really didn't expect that younger generations are forgetting their royals who once ruled the country.

The granddaughter of our last King passed away two years ago. There are some direct decedents of our Kings and Queens in Myanmar. We all gathered together twice a year in Yangon and Mandalay on the occasion of alms donation to monks for the late King Mindon (father of last King) and King Thibaw until COVID-19 period. We are not so sure to have this kind of chance under this devasted country situation.

that prince should be proud that at least they rebuilt it to teach history about his family

THE BRITISH LOOTED EVERYTHING FROM THE BURMESE ROYAL FAMILY INCLUDING THE BIG DIAMOND EVEN IN CHINA THEY LOOTED EVERYTHING. THE BRITISH BRING DISEASES TO EVERY COUNTRY THEY OCCUPIED

The British should move the remains of the last king back to his homeland as a show of respect and peace.

How extremely sad 😢

See Indonesia, the royal kingdoms there still in-charge even though only traditional purpose, not real political powers. Why Myanmar didn't do the same to treat royal family as tradition rather than to exile them?

😍😍😍❤❤❤

People forget that the Burmese kings were expansionists who liked invading and ransacking their neighbors. They weren't peaceful kings who kept to themselves. Somehow the Thais evaded colonialism even with a king as their head of state.

Karma 😁lol you kill mon king..

If the Myanmar military were smart….they would be anxious to reinstall the Royal family….Hereditary monarchies tend to bring stability to a country…

That Colonel Interviewed has a hel* of a nerve : “I have a great responsibility to this country—risking my life for it”….(He only “risks his life” fighting—and killing—his own countrymen….Military losers.

“I’m the bloody granddaughter of the king, and I’m only popular when I’m about to die”….Omg…I LOVE that woman ❤

If the communists wanted to reinstate the monarchy they could.

Man, for a second I felt bad for Burma but they were also invading other countries.

Europeans 🙄

It was a fact that the Burmese monarch was incapable.. and so were the rulers in India .. after the fall of the Marathas and the Punjabi empire of Raja Ranjeet Singh .. the entire Indian subcontinent fell into the clutches of the British .. only the Afghans and the Gorkhas of Nepal had the guts and the wit to hold the British

It’s a little surprising to me that very little was mentioned about the 1878 massacre of 100+ royals engineered by the queen in order to get Thibaw on the throne. Obviously this doesn’t fit very well into the narrative the video was emphasizing but it’s a pretty shocking, significant chapter in the royal family history.

Who cares! They burned takes and killed my people! Good ridden!!!

A century from now, here's hoping the descendants of Elizabeth II will end up just like the Burmese Royal Family.
