As a child of abuse just because you have a happy memory with your family DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAD A GOOD CHILDHOOD. I like using the analogy my friend told me: if someone is horrible to you all the time and nice to you rarely, it does not make them a nice person. The same can be said about childhoods. Never let someone tell you your childhood wasn't that bad because you had some fond memories in it. Nobody but you experienced it and dont let someone tell you different! ):

Well said, I totally agree with you. I had an abusive childhood and you can't have somebody being good and bad to you simultaneously. If they're being bad to you, then they are out and out bad. Any seemingly good deeds, however rare, do not discount the bad. If bad deeds are done, then these abusers have chosen to be bad. They cannot say that they've done any good to you.

Victoria DID love her children an awful lot. She had a difficult time to coope with post-natal depression and despised pregnancy, true, and it's also true she didn't like babies. But it's not true that she was jealous of her children in the way that she hated them. Victoria wasn't a true mother-bird baby-cuddler but she always wanted what was best for her children. If you read her diaries, you'll see how she prays for them and notices their individual personalities.

Continuously questioning myself and my behavior and almost forgetting the beatings and name-calling.maybe if I would have acted differently she wouldn't have treated me that way and almost forgetting I acted that way trying to fight off the physical and verbal abuse. When I was about 50 and she was talking about what a bad child I was I asked her mom what did I do that was so bad? And she said you kept running away. I ran away because of the beatings.

what's with the hysteric capital letters? Chill out. How many people on the planet have that name, do you expect them all to have fits like this? Grow up.

This presenter rocks!

Curious why her cousin George Duke of Cambridge. Didn't become King of England. And why she became Queen instead.

Because her father (Duke of Kent) was older than George's father. So naturally the line of ascension will follow the Duke of Kent's dependents first, before passing on to the next sibling and their dependents etc. Also, you had to be born in England in order to inherit the British throne, which is why the Duke of Kent rushed his laboring wife to London to give birth, because he knew his child would be heir to the throne (behind him), only if born in England. George Duke of Cambridge was born in Germany.

I didn’t understand earlier either. So I just googled. Look at it like this- when the Queen’s reign ends, the next in line is Charles. After Charles it would be his son William (not his brother Andrew). The same for after William- next in line would be his son George (not his brother Harry). That comparison made it make sense, for me.

AFAIK often German in the family and English in the public. Edward VIII was one of the last of the Royal family who spoke and understood German very well. Prince Philip also speaks German very well. At least he did so a few years ago. Now, becoming older, that might have changed a bit.

How is it missed that she clearly (correctly) held her mother responsible for the ominous presence of Conroy in her life? Pretty sure that equates equivalent to a bad childhood.

A.N.Wilson is hilarious. Whoever directed the shots was a master of ludicrousness. The staging is very Fais and serves as a great one to punch beside the narrator‘s own camp. And I love it! I think AN Wilson ought to be a cult classic in his own right. I’m trying to find more of him.

Victoria and Albert did have some quarrels, but they never fell out of love or really got distant. In fact, Albert said he felt their love was strongest after 1851 (for the rest of his life that is), so they either they resolved their issues or the "power struggle" has been exaggerated. Some people also dislike Albert for seeming to discourage Victoria's desires for friendship with France, but his concerns were understandable. The French in centuries past had repeatedly threatened Britain's power and his native Germany had been ravaged by the Napoleonic Wars. Ironically, the leader who Victoria mostly built the Anglo-French alliance with was Napoleon III (and despite his uncle's actions, the French emperor seems to eventually have at least earned Albert's respect).

Spoiled by too many ads

As someone who was abused as a child. It is very saddening that they dismissed Queen Victoria's perspective so lightly. The family that adopted me were of well do to stature. They gave me nice things (to an extent really). It was done to show others how charitable they wrre towarda me. And also because they felt guilty to how they treated me. Saying all of this to say that it doesn't matter that Queen Victoria had her dolls, her Beloved Pet Dash etc. Those are the RIGHTS of a child to have a loving, fun and carefree childhood. That doesn't take away from the the fact that Connroy and Duchess Kent were awful to her. Also to add that the Host of this documentary is Hilarious when he does his SUPER CRINGEWORTHY German accent of Queen Victoria. 🤣

14:44 is odd--no other legitimate heirs? At the time of William IV's death, he still had three living brothers--Ernest, King of Hannover; Prince Augustus, Duke of Sussex and Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge and both Ernest and Adophus had sons called George who were born in 1819, the same year as Victoria! George of Hannover was 3 days younger and George of Cambridge was a little under two months older.

That’s not how the line of succession works. It goes to the next brother and if he’s dead, then the brother’s child.

@@JGJGAGSG Correct, but that's not what the presenter said. He said "There were no other legitimate heirs to the throne." But there, in fact, were plenty of other heirs. Within the royal family alone, you would have HRH Princess Victoria of Kent HRH The Duke of Cumberland HRH Prince George of Cumberland HRH The Duke of Sussex HRH The Duke of Cambridge HRH Prince George of Cambridge HRH Princess Augusta of Cambridge HRH Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge HRH The Princess Augusta Sophia HRH The Princess Elizabeth HRH The Dowager Duchess of Gloucester HRH The Princess Sophia HRH Princess Sophia of Gloucester And then any other legitimate descendants of Frederick, Prince of Wales, George II and George I who were still living, not Catholic and legitimate. So there were, in fact, plenty of legitimate heirs to the throne. What the presenter should have said is "William IV had no legitimate children who could inherit the throne, and so it passed to his niece Victoria." and not "There were no other legitimate heirs" when there were plenty of legitimate heirs. There just weren't any who were children of William.

Poor Prince Albert!

trust me, looking at that family line now, I can agree.

The myth of a totally unhappy childhood was born… That’s not our judgment call to make, and certainly not yours old man. Seems to me that when she was 16 and that illness struck her and she was confronted by Conroy that she saw everything that had happened up to that point and it’s true light. That’s all that was. Her realization was actually quite accurate. Honestly this whole video is so heavily laden with patriarchal points of view as to completely discount the reality for women and that Queen Victoria portrayed in some of her letters especially to her daughter. I would really like someone with an open mind free of the assumptions and lies about women that are swallowed by the patriarchy and taught by it to actually honestly portray Queen Victoria‘s life… And allow her truth to actually be told.

You don't have to be a feminist to realise that Victoria really did have an unhappy, oppressive childhood at the hands of Conroy and her mother.

I have often wondered it QV spoke English with a German accent? My own German aunt who grew up hearing about Princess Victoria of Saalzfield (spelling ??). She said she was almost certain that without any immediate English speakers around either of them for a great number of years that it is almost certain that their German accent was deep, noticeable, and immutable. Any thoughts?

My husband's family came to this country from Germany as adults. His father and aunt had no accent. His aunts husband did. His uncle had quite an accent as did his wife. They never explained why the difference, and I didn't have the nerve to ask.
