Prince Michael did a bang up job with this documentary. Nicely paced, without any filler or fluff.

HRH Prince Michael of Kent was the perfect presenter for this memorial of Victoria and Albert .

My favourite Victoria docurama, part 2 particularly. Love the music, Michael of Kent did an excellent job narrating. He's a great prince. 👍

Excellent presentation, and by Queen Victoria's great great grandson no less. Very appreciated!

Thank you Prince Michael for sharing the lovely story of your great-great grandparents. It is wonderful that you have the buildings, photos, letters and personal items to treasure. I really enjoyed your program.

Prince Michael gave the documentary a deeper meaning for me, as its his personal family history, and his narrative skills I enjoyed very much.... And now I'm enjoying reflecting on it......history....love.....devotion.... Thanks for the upload:--)

Absolutely beautiful. H.R.H Prince Michael..so well articulated history.

Beautifully narrated by HRH Prince Michael of Kent.

Oh my, what a love story? Prince Michael excelled in giving us such insight not just into the life of Queen Victoria & her "sweet angel" Prince Albert, but others she'd grow to love as friends be they PMs or servants right up to Victorias death, what a fabulous docudrama I've had the pleasure of seeing! ⚘

I enjoyed this series. Prince Michael of Kent is an excellent narrator---and adds a little 'something' to the documentary.

The finest account of an extraordinary life during an equally extraordinary period. This documentary has been the most informative met with the approval of an heir to its subjects.

Very informative and engaging. Prince Michael of Kent was excellent in presenting this story of his great great grandparents.

Fabulous ! Loved the history Wonderfully presented by Prince Michael of Kent

The Brits know how to narrate a documentary, nobody can beat them.

...if fact, she loved - and was loyal to her husband and friends. Holding on to an ancient mind toward ruling and monarchy - she did what she considered the duty and best for her kingdoms. A sad loss of Albert at such a younger age, for the Queen and the people, as her empathy would surely have been evident in a different story of the balance of freedoms and ethics in her own England and in my families Ireland. A most kinder person she was than many around her, or those that followed. Peace be with her and Albert always...

The cult of death indeed. The music is beautiful but way too intrusive and loud. But apart from that it is a very good documentary and to have HRH Michael of Kent present is a very good touch. Bravo!

Very well narrated and interesting docu!❤️thanks for posting!!

One thing for darn sure, Albert would Never sign away Royal Authority the way silly Victoria did! She was like a fish out of water without him & had no more political savvy then a rock! Obviously had No idea of what she was signing & the politicians took advantage of this fact. Albert would Never have approved of her head-in-the-sand period of alleged grief. I personally think she was really "hiding" as she didn't want to have to face her royal responsibilities without Albert's guiding hand.

John Brown helped her out of her depression, so in his own way saved the monarchy. He never had a holiday, & was there 24/7 for the Queen. Obviously he slept as she did, but he was up, dressed & had her pony ready for her daily. She felt Albert had sent JB to her, & that's why she had a statue of Brown in a triangle facing herself & Albert at Balmoral. "We three are yoked". But after Victorias death, her eldest son & heir, had Browns staue removed far into the woods. He'd also burned all of Victorias letters to Abdul Karim, & her photos, anything with Victorias name on it was burned in front of Abdul. Her son Bertie, Edward the 7th was on the thrown after Victoria for 9 yrs. 1901-1910. Shouldn't the British monarchy now have John Browns statue placed bk where Queen Victoria wanted it to be? Great, yet sad story of love & loss in our Britsh monarchy. 👑

As what could happen to a peasant women, also happened to Victoria. Sadly, there are no guarantees in life; not even for a Queen. This is what happens when we love someone too much. When we do, we often leave ourselves no safety net to fall back on, should we lose the object of our love. Never love anyone so much - that you would not be able to survive the loss. Only God deserves that kind of love.

Disraeli was an oleaginous creep. Victoria was fortunate to have had a happy marriage. Edward was notoriously unfaithful to Alexandra.

it seems there was a lot of sadness-some parts music was too loud to hear what was been said.

Excelente relato de una parte muy importante de Reino .Unido . Muy bien contada x sú Alteza Real el príncipe Mikael de Kemp. Ok

To point out , the Cello Concerto at the beginning of Part 2 was composed by Elgar and was performed by Jacqueline du Pre with Sir John Barbirolli conducting.

Prince Michael looks WAY more like Albert than the guy they chose to portray Albert in this.

Thanks a lot !!

I love how the reenactress of Queen Victoria (and all the reenactors) uses this posh RP! Especially with those trilled _r_'s for emphasis! Queen Victoria: (23:43) ... she will sooner abdicate than send for that half-mad fire-brand! Others but herself may submit to his _democrrrrratic_ rrule, but not the Queen! (23:56) There must be no attempt to change the foreign policy! no change in India! and no hasty retreat from Afghanistan!

For those who asked: what you hear at the beginning is Elgar's Cello concert.

I think that she was clinically depressed after alberts death.One of the symptoms of depression is that they have difficulties making decisions,no matter how trivial the decision might be.I think that Brown relieved her of that responsibility.Perhaps she also liked Brown because he didn't kiss her ass.I don't believe that the relationship was sexual.

WellJohn Brown seems to have been what she needed at the time, he seems to have given her a well deserved kick in the ass.

Black is the traditional colour of mourning in most Western cultures, especially after the death of a close friend or loved one. White, in Western culture has a number of different meanings but in this case stands for wholeness and completion. The Queen was returning to her beloved husband after a long period of mourning.

Simply must agree, wev'e had some interesting history to enjoy

@WindowOnThePrairie Agree. I don't think this is an objective telling of the story of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert given that it is being told by Queen Victoria's great-great grandson, Prince Michael of Kent who likely has a vested interest in painting a mostly positive picture of his royal ancestors.

I wonder, are the coffins directly under the statues of Victoria and Albert, or are they in the a vault, several feet below? Prince Michael said "buried", but was that meant literally?

Her relationship with John Brown set her children's teeth on edge. Dying in the arms of the Kaiser, a universally disliked man who would engage Britain in the First World War is devastatingly ironic. It is said that she forgave Bertie on her deathbed, but I really have to wonder why one of her children didn't hold her instead of that despicable clown. This documentary is fairly well done, but a lot has been left out. Taking a lock of Brown's hair and his photo into her coffin was odd given her deep love for Albert. So he was more than a mere friend to the Queen and there was speculation that they were secretly married near Balmoral and their honeymoon spent in one of the little cottages.

Victoria was just a woman, though with an intense job. She had been in a very happy marriage...she was very open that she liked sex and living chaste once the first sorrow is blunted is difficult...she met someone who was approved of by her husband, who was blunt with her as no one else was allowed to be, who she felt was honestly loyal to her. If there were more, good on her.

@@VolumedMusicMan Her Uterus hadn't collapsed when she was in her 40s after Apbert but when JB was sort after to get her out on her pony again. He really did save her from a constant blackness of sorrow in the 2nd part of her life. Hence Victoria also had JBs mothers wedding ring on Victorias 3rd finger of her left hand, also a framed pic of JB in her left hand amongst his pocket watch etc. Maybe he was a very close friend who was there for her 24/7. Something she said she'd always needed. Even Albert wasn't there for her as much as John was. They enjoyed eachothers company & enjoyed a drink together etc but there is no evidence but speculation on anything else. He saved her in the yrs ahead & helped her get out & be Queen to the ppl again. That's what matters.👸

I know not much about monarchy..but I am curious to know if....for whatever reasons..popular or personal....prince Charles refuses to take the throne......would it be automatically his brother Prince Andrew to be the next King ? or his son Prince William?..?because if I'm correct..when it happens before..it was the present Queen Elizabeth uncle who abdict to the throne for his lover ..so the king becomes Queens Elizabeth's father.?...or the reason was that the king who abdict to the throne didn't have children so it goes to the brother?...I am confuse !

She felt guilty for how badly she treated the prince.
