On a lighter note, the Windsors still have the Albertonian nose (Prince Philip, King Charles, Prince William and possibly Prince George). Princess Beatrice on the other hand is a replica of a young Queen Victoria. 🇿🇦
I don’t see the connect with Prince Phillip. Was he a blood relative of Albert? 🤔 Update. Elizabeth and Phillip were both the great great grandchildren of Victoria and Albert.
Considering that Queen Victoria also blamed the Prince of Wales for her husband's death, and not recognizing her probable contribution to his demise, goes a long way to explain Edward VIII and Prince Henry Windsor-Mountbatten 's taking responsibility for their own actions. Oh, yeah; let's not forget her oldest grandchild, Wilhelm II. Runs in the family.
@@maryellencook9528 I agree. Even after he abdicated and fled to the Netherlands both he and the Duke of Windsor (formerly Edward viii) thought that Hitler was not a danger to the world! I've often wondered if Duke of Windsor and Wilhem ii visited each other before or after the Duke's abdication. Wilhelm ii died in 1941
Queen Victoria was not present at Albert's funeral. She had taken herself off to Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. The chief mourner was the Prince of Wales at the funeral.
All documentaries I’ve seen about QV, I’ve learned how she was cold and standoffish to her family, including her children. I thought Albert would’ve been the exception to the rule. Surprising to learn she rolled her eyes at his illness when he wasn’t well and still forced him to work. I don’t doubt she loved him indelibly, but I have to wonder if her great mourning was partly lined with guilt over perhaps not taking his illness as seriously as she should’ve.
I agree, she probably felt a lot of guilt! I’m sure she blamed herself! I’m sure he looked forward to death, a break from always being sick and a break from a cold, selfish wife who didn’t give a damn about his health
Victoria did not have to "force" Prince Albert to work. He was a very intelligent and self-driven man. Her lack of empathy did not make his life easier. She was incredibly self-centered
I’m sure she felt guilty to a certain extent. As is with the super robust, they can’t understand why others can’t just “shake it off”. And her self centerness was off the charts, which didn’t help. That being said, she WAS very concerned about him. She really tried to get him to rest. To not work so hard. She would have been over the moon, as anybody married to a workaholic knows, and she was also obsessed with him, to boot. Also, She honestly believed that being in “cold, fresh air” was like a health tonic. And cold seemed to have no effect on her. She’s like that friend everybody has that wears shorts in the snow. But poor Albert, shivering in his rooms.🙈. I mean. Let the dude light a fire in his OWN rooms. He’s cold! It’s winter in England! Or even worse, Scotland! People DREADED visiting her in cold weather. Plus it wasn’t “manly” to do your dang best to stay dry back then. Victorias own (very robust, apparently) father died after being “soaked to the skin” (which is how Albert was described) after an outing on a very cold day. 🤷♀️. I’ve never read anything about any lady “soaked to the skin”. Victoria herself was always warm and dry. She’d have water repellent skins with furs and blankets under them in her open carriage. while Albert trotted alongside in the saddle, in completely ineffective, but I’m sure very! dashing, riding clothes. Poor Albert. But Victoria pushed any guilt she possibly may have had onto Prince Bertie. Until she died she blamed him for Albert’s death.
People didn't usually smile for portraits as it took so long they would have got face ache. There are some lovely photos of her smiling in her letter years. She had a charming smile.
Women didn't go to funerals then. Also, people didn't smile in photographs for 2 reasons. Firstly, because it was considered rude and vulgar to show the teeth - probably because the teeth were in poor condition - and secondly, because it took quite a while to take early photos so people had to stay rigidly still for some time. It was very difficult to hold a natural smile unchanged for as long as a photo required, so resting bitch face was the norm in photos of the time. Kaiser Wilhelm blamed his English mother, a daughter of Victoria, for his withered arm which was damaged at birth. Facts, not speculation.
You are quite right. She did not attend the funeral ceremony. Apart from her private reasons (she would have broken down) it was not protocol for the monarch to attend funerals.
The recluse story a farce is not true. She was visiting family, esp Paris. I peiced the puzzel. Many relative wished her advice or to visit, but she was unavailable. Cuzz she was out of country. I think she invented gaslighting. 🤺💐
Victoria was a show queen Elizabeth another Charles since when was a marriage aloud to divorce and he became king ask yourself why that was ok and Diana she was the one and only true queen and they made sure she was not around! ..............
English as a second language? Try capitals and periods on sentences. I don't know what a show queen is. Aloud (meaning out loud) should be allowed (permitted). One should ask why there are royals at all, rather than why times change and rules change with them.
Oh be quiet with the conspiracy theories. She had a drunk driver, didn't fasten her seatbelt and the car was speeding in a tunnel notorious for accidents. Nobody survived except the front passenger seat bodyguard who DID have his seatbelt fastened.

Wilhelm ii did have pyschological issues.
I am not sure how much was due to
genetics and how much was due to
his upbringing.

In those days ladies did not attend funerals.
@@lindamassey9817They did not, but can you imagine if she did? Oh dear. This is probably the one time I would agree they “couldn’t handle it”.
Queen Victoria really was kind of a nightmare.
@ MatthewRX
True enough!

I have saw a lot of paintings of Queen Victoria and I have never saw a smile on her face. Why is that? I would really love to know.
If English is your second language, then you got some pulling-up-your-socks to do. It's my third, so I understand.

Queen Victoria may of wore black for the rest of her life, but there was Mr Brown, and her Indian servant.
Hello! Everything I have read says the Queen wasn't at Prince Albert's funeral. Where did you find new information? Love your channel!
You are quite right. She did not attend the funeral ceremony. Apart from her private reasons (she would have broken down) it was not protocol for the monarch to attend funerals.
@@talmadge1926 or females
Uhh, You MIGHT want to rewrite this statement, "For CENTURIES, historians have debated what killed him..." You are off by a few years.
5 of 9 of their children were at the funeral?? Which ones?
Probably the sons. Women were not allowed to attend funerals.
The recluse story a farce
is not true. She was visiting family, esp Paris.
I peiced the puzzel.

Cuzz she was out of country.

He was a good looking young buck wasn't he.
Please see if you can find out what had happened to Prince Alberts dog?
Eos the greyhound died before Prince Albert did, Someone accidentally shot her 😢

Diana would have been a disaster as Queen. She liked the limelight.
