- Queen Victoria visited Floors Castle on the River Tweed, Scotland, for three days in 1867.
It was the first official visit that Victoria made after the death of her beloved husband Prince Albert, and Tim discovers in her diary that, despite the passage of six years, she still felt Albert's loss keenly. She wrote in her account that the 'feeling of loneliness when I saw no room for my darling, and felt I was indeed alone and a widow, overcame me very sadly! I thought so much of all dearest Albert would have done and said, and how he would have wandered about everywhere, admired everything, looked at everything - and now! Oh! Must it ever, ever be so?'

Yet again we get to enjoy our precious Rosemary
Right? 🥰🥰
I love Victoria & Albert enjoying each other their love at first sight, his death broke her heart, she pulled herself together in the face of tragedy, as all really great Ladys ❤️
Ladies...
Except she didn't and she almost caused an administrative paralysis of the state because she couldn't be bothered to get herself off the bed to sign some very important and urgent documents etc. weeks and months after Albert's death still.
Her immense grief being so pronounced in her diaries certainly humanize her much more. On the outside she seems very intimidating but her never ending love for Albert just breaks my heart. She carries on despite her pain, I find it inspiring. Its tragic given how much they loved each other and they barely got to enjoy their short time together since she was pregnant so quickly and so often.
Very informative. I always love watching Rosemary and Tim.
They’re so fantastic at this and show a lot of empathy for Victoria and Albert. I love their attention to detail!
LOVE Rosemary's outfit!!
I wonder who got the rest of the salmon and all those truffles?
I am shocked you were allowed to touch that basket and jewelry.
YES! Where are their GLOVES?
Especially at a table with food!
Wow that was a really entertaining episode, complete with the humorous tooth sparkle ! 😀
Funny this was reposted yesterday I made Salmon à la Chambord for my daughter's and my birthday dinner last night it was a 2 day process the quenelles were delicious
My mum hates her what did she ever do 😳 Am like how would you know you weren’t even born yet
How gorgeous is that basket ✨
I love that lady chef , as always she's a real kick in the shorts
5:17 - "... the people who still live here: the butler, the chauffeur and the housekeeper - how lucky are they!"
**a potted plant falls over**
Just wondering if it was trying to tell us something...
Ok, but…the green herbed butter used in that dish had garlic listed as one of the ingredients, which sounds delicious to me, but I distinctly remember in a previous video in this series that Queen Victoria did not eat garlic, and even had it listed as a food that she would not eat when she went visiting places away from her home!!! ???
Basketweaving? Who knew?
Did they eat the crayfish?
I've read that her son, Leopold, loved them, they were plentiful and often cooked as edible garnish. He died young, age 30, but had a wife and 2 children and I believe it is the oldest daughter , Princess Alice of Albany, that wrote most about her father.
Me sitting here wondering what it would be like to enjoy such a fantastic meal.
Except I think 12 for a meal is expensive
I want that butter available in stores worldwide. 🤤
Probably shouldn't have worried about loneliness and more about the hemophialia
I get being devastated by the loss of someone very dear to you. I am a bit confused as to why the public and politicians were seemingly unconcerned with having a leader so in their feelings that they checked out for 6 years, not months, years. I've never lived under a monarch so maybe that's why I don't understand this.
She was working, but, only in private. The public parts of her life/duties were what she largely did not do for those years. I believe she still attended opening of Parliament and those very large duties,but, even those are fairly private being just Her and the Parliament. She didn't travel or appear in public though.
I would love to
Being the queen there wasn't anyone she could go to for consolement I guess
Queen Elizabeth11 is olongest raining monarch !!!
Help, help! It's raining monarchs!
I'm seriously amused by this comment 🤣🤣🤣 Who knew of Elizabeth XI?
27:25 oh ffs! She couldn't even give a gift to a friend without making sure they knew Victoria is the center of attention victim smdh
K, sick of Victoria alright, already. Eeeeesssshhhhhh#OverIt#OverHer
Honestly. That salmon looks awful and bland. Poached fish. Ick. But that place is so awesome.
Don't they have dentists in Britain?
Too funny… I’ve asked that very question years ago…🦷
Of course they do.
They do, but dentistry in the Victorian period were expensive and primitive. Much like in Tudor times, dental hygiene is mediocre.
😂 euro-mouth , it's really a thing
21:36 Her fingernails are minging.
Aren’t those HIS fingernails in the close-ups?
Garish
My word, Victoria was so self centered. I've already heard the story of her almost paralyzing the government of Britain by refusing to fulfill even her most urgent duties weeks and months after Albert's death still because of her ostentatious mourning. And then showing a total lack of compassion and understanding to one of her daughters losing her beloved spouse a number of years later.
But that horrid bracelet with the gloomy dedication is absolutely ridiculous. She even managed to make a gift to that woman be all about herself and her grief. I really thought a royal would be raised better than to do something as rude and thoughtless as that. If I was the recipient I would throw that thing somewhere where I'd never have to look at it again and then donate to the first charity auction to just get rid of it.
Victorian sushi/sashimi is a joke
That would not be fun to eat. As salmon is full of bones, some are called pin bones.
Those would likely have been removed by the same staff preparing each diner's serving tableside. For almost as long as nobility had private chefs, they've also had private "put food on plate"ers.
