I work in a museum with many of Victoria’s letters, and I had to clean one (with a soft brush). If you have clean, dry hands you can usually hold paper fine. While transferring this letter from case to table I obviously had to hold it, and my right thumb was, for twenty seconds, (delicately) pressed against Queen Victoria’s signature.

If she says her childhood is sad, why don't they just believe her? At 18:40 the host keeps insisting she had a "happy childhood" depsite her mentioning her childhood was horrible and unhappy. This is probably one of the reasons why she likes to journal so much - because even if she tells someone about her unhappy childhood, they'll say "well, you're a princess and you've got everything you want and need so what's there to be unhappy about?" So sad. Also, I really disagree with them calling Victoria a "callous daughter" at 34:36. How she treated her mother is a reflection of how her mother treated her. When she was so sick, her mother didn't show an ounce of concern for her, instead thought that she was faking it and colluded with an outsider for her to give up her rights. *That* is what I would call callous. And saying Victoria is callous for ignoring her is ridiculous. Her mother never seemed to care much for Victoria, instead using her as a pawn for political power. So why did she expect the same care to be given back to her? Idk why this documentary seems so intent on vilifying Victoria. Would be better if they just laid out what was said in her diary instead of interpreting it. We don't really need your interpretation. We can interpret it for ourselves.

I was thinking the same about her childhood. They are looking at the material things and not how her childhood was and how she was treated. She is telling how she felt and what her emotions were and they are saying she had pretty things so everything must be ok and she is just fabricating it all. As you said they should just tell the story and leave out their thoughts on what they think her life was like.

I came here to say the very same thing. They don’t believe her because they think a gilded cage + a puppy = happiness. The poor girl couldn’t move without at least her mother or the mother’s narcissistic boyfriend being with her. They treated her as a commodity, a golden goose. And the fact that Victoria’s assessment changes periodically is very characteristic of abused children. It’s called splitting. Even bad moms sometimes play good moms. When it’s convenient to them, of course.

She was never allowed to sleep alone, per the Kensington System, had a food taster, could not go down the stairs without holding someone else's hand, let alone could not be alone with a man without a chaperone. Her mother was afraid that she would have been poisoned or murdered in some other way, as her uncle was next in line to the throne. It is bc she was so angry that her mother controlled her life so much--in her opinion (until she would ascend the throne)--that she disliked her mother so much. Not because her mother was cruel to her. Do you have daughters who have hit their teens yet?

Just because Victoria had happy moments in her childhood doesn't mean she was exaggerating. It's normal to change our perceptions of our past as we develop nostalgia for it. The COVID pandemic lockdown showed us how hard it can be to be isolated. Imagine being raised excluded from the world, with every aspect of your life controlled and with virtually zero privacy.

IE: Albert and then after his death her younger children. That was ingrained into in her adolescent years. Im.sure her life was great compared to normal life's at that time.

In Ireland Victoria is known as the "Famine queen" the irish famine started 1845 - 1852 and while the English might think her great, the Irish view her a lot differently. Millions evicted, million emigrated and over a million died as a result of the Famine. There are memorials in most towns in Ireland to the devastating effects of the Famine which happen in what was a province of Great Britain at that time. Help was offered by Ottoman sultan with aid on three ships one of the ships got through into Dundalk by breaking a blockade and as a result, Drogheda football team have as part of there club crest a crescent moon in recognition. The Turks also offered 10,000 pounds but British civil servants said "that that was too much and could be embarrassing for queen Victoria and 1000 would be better as it was less than her 2000 pounds. American choctaw Indian tribe sent 200 dollars in aid, a sizable sum at the time and is acknowledged even today by the Irish people. While Victoria may have been insulated by her government civil servants from the happenings in Ireland at this time she was queen of what was at that time a wealthiest and massive empire well capable of helping its people on literally its doorstep. Nobody is perfect and Victoria is just a person born into privilege with so called title and could have done more by careing more for the people of Ireland better. In the early 2000's Tony Blair acknowledged the failure of the British government at that time to ease the suffering of the Irish and apologized. This act of apology was well received in Ireland.

I think her relationship with her mother affected her maternal instincts to her own children.

Wild to see the way her abuse as a child is downplayed as her overreacting. Narcissists are great at playing the victim, it's obvious her mother was one. Victoria was clearly mourning the relationship she never had, much like happens to abuse victims today.

Such an endearing reading of a queen's passionate life! Thank you, Mr. A.N. Wilson

Great doc!... I think it's my 3rd time watching. Thanks for posting good quality, well produced documentaries. I actually knew most of what was presented, but I guess I never tire of excellent UK history! ~Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦

Absolutely! They are third cousins who are related to each other in three different ways. The only normal relationships in the British Royal Family, that have grown over a period of years , before marriage, are Prince William and Princess Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Edward and Sophie, The Earl and Countess of Wessex, and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, aka Mr. and Mrs. Brooksbank. None of these three couples rushed into marriage. It seems that they took their time to get to know each other and to develop their relationship, before getting married. These royals all married in their late twenties or later, and they chose commoners their own age; equals, who were articulate, educated, and caring. Their spouses all came from intact families, with a mother and father, who had strong family values, who nurtured their children.

If only Frederick III lived longer, how different might Germany and the western world have turned out? All that man wanted was for his nation to be peacefully united and a beacon of inspiration to the world. When you read on him, it's easy to see why Queen Victoria admired her son-in-law so much.

This was a common practice for royals. They would frequently take their children to events with the intent of having them meet a potential future spouse. The events of course were always royal balls, etc. where other royals and upper nobility would be. By the 1800s, they wouldn't get married at that age, but they could go ahead and start cementing the relationship with letters while the parents did the paperwork. Late teens and early 20s were standard marriage age, maybe slightly younger for non-reigning women. Marie Antoinette was 14 when she married. Prior centuries frequently had the marriages arranged shortly after birth, like Katherine of Aragon and Henry VIII's elder brother, Arthur.

How revealing and beautiful. Thank you for this upload

Thank you so much for this wonderful historical experience ... so interesting snd enjoyable!

An absolutely beautiful telling. More please❤️

I can see a lot of Queen Victoria in Princess Beatrice.

Great way to fill in the gaps, so to speak. Woe to these ones

Wow, I find these fascinating. Her feelings for her husband and jealousy towards her children, is soo relatable and real. I can’t stop watching this, she was formidable but also so naive with men because she never knew her father. But her relationships with all the different men in her life is just so down to earth. When my home town ramsgate was shown and spoken of I felt a real sense of pride for this queen. Wow! Thankyou.

Albert & Victoria was a great union & love story! He learned to let her be queen but found out how to be the man of the house & daddy. Queen Elizabeth's Prince was great at it also.

Albert "discovered" how to keep Victoria busy being pregnant so many times, which made it difficult for her to be in charge of her state affairs as a queen, and Albert was so competent, this gave him the opportunity to be in charge of most of the state affairs and get a more relevant position as the King behind Victoria

Thank goodness the King was such a great uncle to her & basically willed himself alive until hrh Victoria reached maturity. How different things would’ve turned out to be if he hadn’t been able to do that. Just bc 100% of your days growing up weren’t exactly drenched in misery doesn’t mean there was no abuse, bullying or maltreatment going on. Ppl, especially young girls, don’t just divorce/banish their mothers from their life @ the 1st possible opportunity for no reason. Some of these historians need to get a damn clue😤

Thanks for the clarity of style and explanations. I’m really thrilled and interested, better than a film. Plus, finally an excellent English. Thank you

in a biography of queen mary, it states that she herself was born in the same rooms as Victoria.

I agree .

Being a future queen was not easy for a child to have such happy childhood. Adults hoped to control everything just to set them into the most powerful position as well So the only thing they must do was keeping her on their plans in every seconds. So I believe that little princess Vitoria had unhappy childhood as she wrote in her journal.

I usually love the videos on real royalty. This one rubbed me the wrong way. Unless you have been raised by a narcissistic power hungry mom who ignores the psychological and emotional abuse both as Victoria’s mom and her boy toy Conroy. It took me 40 years to figure out how messed up my home of origin was. Did we go camping, have a pool, dogs, . . . Yes, would I have said I had a great childhood, yes, but I was also ABUSED. Child abuse is not funny, it wasn’t her being mean to her mom, it was a justified reaction to the batsh@$t crazy you grew up in. Also as a mom who deals with depression from my childhood and definitely hormones after didn’t help, your brushing it off as ‘King George III’s’ madness is insulting and will keep people from getting help when they go through something similar.

I love reading and hearing about Queen Victoria. I find her multi- faceted and a mass of contradictions (just like me in fact) but ultimately a “real” person with kindness and empathy when needed Maybe I just feel she comes across as very real and did not put on a facade regarding who she was whether that be mother, friend, or in fact, Queen

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thankyou 💖

Queen Victoria's penmanship was so beautiful. I do not think the Queens journals should be public. These were her personal, private thought and feelings. Every part of her belonged to her country...these should not be public in life or death.💎

Damn. The world really is shallow.

I'm sure Victoria was no different from most teenage girls who kept/keep diaries. I had one and there are tons of pages of how "abused" I felt, although reality was quite the opposite. I lived in a nice house with both parents and I had TONS of advantages. I was just selfish at the time. Victoria probably took her anger out on her mother because it was easy to do so.

Excellent!

Incredible documentary. RIP to Deirdre Murphy

To see Anna Chancellor pop up narrating these diaries is delicious. XD Edit: Omg what was that fake German accent?! I'm dying!

Love your channel

I am American so I really don't understand the monarchy. But I find this fascinating. Her diary's give us a glimmer into history. She was a woman before her time.

Sounds like Victoria was in a Narcissistic/Empathic marriage

As someone who is going through this sort of thing right now. No. She had a terrible childhood. Her mother honestly sounds like mine. Yes she loved Victoria there's no doubt in my mind about that, but she did all the wrong things with that love. Conroy was an absolute asshole who bullied Victoria for her most of her childhood.

She wrote that she had a very unhappy childhood. Why do they keep trying to deny this? They even put contradictory words in her mouth. She hated her Mother, isn't that proof enough? They bend these stories as they go along and it becomes "History".

“Yes, the Duchess of Kent was a silly goose...”

Im from Philippines, but I love watching old Victorian house, life of a royal family. So interesting.

Princess Beatrice is the spitting image of the young Queen Victoria!
