you

with a loud scream on the night of the

14th of December 1861 Queen Victoria

gave first vent to her grief a lifetime

of mourning for her husband Albert the

Prince Consort

had begun that night the Prince Consort

died from typhoid Queen Victoria was my

great-great-grandmother there's no doubt

that the death of Prince Albert led to a

period of great uncertainty for the

monarchy and the country the Queen shut

herself away with her family and

household at Osbourne on the Isle of

Wight or Balmoral she came to Windsor

solely to visit the mausoleum here at

Frogmore and spent hours praying at this

great shrine she'd built for her husband

the green have become a recluse

immersing herself in green

the Queen wore black for the rest of her

life her court had to dress in Half Moon

even estate workers at Balmoral dressed

in black kilts shops in London ran out

of black material railings all over the

country were painted black and have

remained so ever since a whole industry

grew up supporting the cult of death

the Queen shot herself up at Osbourne

and refused to go to Windsor or

Buckingham Palace to be near the seat of

government without the gone she couldn't

cope it said she feared she was becoming

unhinged one morning at Osborn she was

heard shouting in desperation by an open

window

she struggled to do her duty Privy

Council meetings at Osborn was strange

Affairs first ministers had to travel

down from London to the Isle of Wight

following this letter

we must humbly submit that Your Majesty

will buy your order in council authorize

the transmitting of a draft of a Royal

Charter for erecting the British

settlement in the bay of Honduras into a

colony to be called the colony of

British Honduras approved we beg leave

most humbly to authorize a salary of the

officer in charge of the dockyard

at Deptford

approved

Queen Victoria's grief was terrible

she plunged the country into seemingly

endless mourning Buckingham Palace was

empty for two years and was eventually

boarded up son wagged put a notice on

the railings which said these commanding

premises to be let or sold in

consequence of the late occupants

declining business the Queen was no

longer doing what her public expected of

her

they were baffled and then angry her

ministers had very strong views but the

Queen's main concern was a national

memorial to her late husband her cause

and his skeptical House of Commons was

given a boost by an ambitious politician

Benjamin Disraeli who argued the

memorial should represent the character

of the prince himself in the harmony of

its proportions in the beauty of it

solomon and in its enduring nature so

that those who come after us may say

this was the type and testing me to a

sublime life and the transcendent career

all this was music to the Queen zero

later after Disraeli carried the vote

through Parliament he was invited along

with other ministers to the wedding of

the Queen's eldest son Bertie the Prince

of Wales to Princess Alexandra of

Denmark at Windsor the Queen in black

watched ghost like high up from the

gallery

after the ceremony there was the

obligatory photograph with a bust of

Prince Albert at the end of 1864 an

event at Osborne lifted the Queen from

her misery one morning she saw on the

terrace John Brown Prince Albert's

favorite Gilley from Balmoral the Queen

had asked that he be brought south to

help her take up horse riding again

that day Queen Victoria appeared happy

Braun was suddenly always at the Queen

side she refused to go anywhere without

him she felt safe with him and gave him

the title the Queen's Highland 7 answer

will end to herself but Braun the

swarthy Highlander became known as the

master of the cold and the shadow behind

the throne

Browns mana with his sovereign did

appear to be brother brewski again with

our old dress on you again for tis my

own green women feel like a kid I'm

thinking that's enough John Brown was

strongly disapproved off by the court

but his over familiarity with the

subject but he gave her the reassurance

and protection she appeared to need his

influence was the first step in her

rehabilitation as dutiful sovereign the

Queen's Highland servant was seen to

adopt heirs when the mayor of Portsmouth

arrived at Osborn with a request to the

Queen he was surprised by the way her

answer was delivered the queen says

suddenly not just ago my request was for

the Queen did I wish the Queen Stiles is

busy but nothing Brown did seem to alter

the Queen's affection for you first he

raised his salary from a hundred and

twenty pounds year to 150 and then he

was paid three hundred and ten pounds

and finally four hundred

the cruel title of mrs. Brown reflected

the discontent now being felt within the

country at least the queen in her

seclusion was aware she was unpopular

when the ruling Liberal Party failed to

pass the second reform bill a measure

that would have put a million new

householders mainly the middle classes

onto the Electoral Register the Queen

knew that the discontent amounted to

republicanism when an incoming

Conservative government promised to try

to enact the new reform bill the Queen

decided she should open the new

parliamentary session it was the first

time in nearly six years she'd been seen

in two state occasion the battle for the

second reform bill one great festes for

Disraeli who successfully steered it

through the Commons for the Conservative

Party Queen Victoria gave her assent to

the new Act in August 1867 and here's

her signature on the Royal Commission at

a stroke it doubled the number of people

entitled to vote although the Queen

wasn't aware of it at the time the

passing of this bill would help to shift

power into the hands of the electorate

the Queen's troubles did not go away

Finian's who are Irish Republicans based

in America were involved in terrorist

incidents up and down the country

Ireland which was still part of the

United Kingdom was the key issue for

William Gladstone the leader of the

Opposition Liberal Party his long-term

plan was Irish self-government an idea

that horrified the Queen then the

government reported that finials was

secretly planning to kidnap the Queen

from Osbourne make sure you cover all

the with all the way down to the

maintain they begged her to go to the

safety of Windsor Castle the Queen

refused believing that it was only apply

to Esau back into affairs of State

instead she allowed police to be posted

in the grounds of the park

provided that Brown could organize them

when the plot turned out to be a hoax

the Queen felt triumphant leave it

with some relief the queen was able to

ask Disraeli to become Prime Minister

when the present Conservative leader

became ill she was overwhelmed by his

exotic appearance when he was sworn in

at Osborn he is full of poetry romance

and chivalry when he knelt down to kiss

my hand which he took in this is he said

in loving loyalty and faith mom

there began an extraordinary

relationship between sovereign and Prime

Minister Disraeli needed the support of

the Queen in his duel with the

opposition leader his great rival

William Gladstone

so Disraeli set out to flatter and charm

the grieving widow as long as we are

advised of your proposals you see we

need to know can you hope that in the

great affairs of stage your Majesty will

deign not to withhold from him the

benefit of your Majesty's guide

Disraeli was also a popular novelist and

he made sure the Queen was provided with

graphic inside details and all the

gossip from parliament but the idiot

came to an end the Queen was informed

that Israeli had been defeated in the

House by Gladstone and was offering to

resign in desperation she implored him

to carry on until the new electoral

register was ready but Disraeli lost the

ensuing general election the Monarchs

traditional power to have a say in the

choice of government was over forever

the Queen had lost out to the will of

the newly enlarged electorate as

Disraeli gracefully bowed himself out of

the Queen's presence Gladstone his great

rival marched in the Stiles couldn't

have differed more William Glasson was a

populist his power rested with his party

machine fed by the new electorate mom

the primary mission of my government

would be to pacify Ireland if I'm a

readout bomb my proposed new palette

Lord Chancellor

Gladstone had been advised by his wife

to pet the Queen instead he read her

lists made speeches and treated her like

a rubber stamp

Lord Chancellor mom Lord Hathaway Lord

President of the Council held gray

ribbon Lord privy seal at mr.

she reacted predictably and went into

retirement again and began writing and

illustrating a book about her life in

the highlands in which brown feeds it

strong

now as a direct result of the Queen's

continuing seclusion a much more

determined four publican movement with

growing in the country the Marseillaise

was sung in Trafalgar Square to

celebrate a new French Republic and a

pamphlet was published entitled what

does she do with it asking how the Queen

used the money voted to her by

Parliament there was a family conspiracy

to try to get the Queen back to duty

Princess Victoria her eldest daughter

organised a secret round robin to be

signed by seven of her brothers and

sisters in the following terms those of

us who are abroad and only here now and

then of what's going on in England are

startled at the murmurs of discontent

which reaches those of us who live at

home are the unwilling and grieving

witnesses of criticism which are

agonizing to us to hear the dangers

which are daily spreading will crush the

monarchy and the dynasty but the letter

was never delivered

perhaps they were too frightened

in 1871 for reasons beyond her control

Queen Victoria suddenly found herself

back in favor with the public the Prince

of Wales had fallen ill with typhoid the

Queen rushed to his bedside at his home

in Sandin fear gripped the nation

because the 14th of December was

approaching which would have been 10

years to the day since Prince Albert had

died of typhoid hidden behind the screen

so that her son wouldn't see her the

Queen wrote fearfully December 10th 1871

the feeling shown by the whole nation is

quite marvelous and this touching and

striking and on December the 13th this

railing has been the worst day of all

and coming so close to the sad 14th

field s and I believe the whole country

with anxious forebodings

finally on December the 14th this

dreadful anniversary the temps returned

again instead it brought the cherry news

that dear Bertie had slept quietly at

intervals the respiration much easier

the whole country breathed a sigh of

relief on the way to sin pause for a

Thanksgiving service the show of

affection amazed the Queen dressed in

black and wearing only a simple bonnet

she drove in an open carriage to enable

the people to see her properly then two

days later another near tragedy touched

the Queen as she was alighting from her

carriage outside Buckingham Palace Brown

had got down to let down the steps when

suddenly a semi hit my side then I

perceived that it was someone aren't

known with an uplifted count in

voluntarily in a terrible fright I threw

myself over Lady Jane church I soon

recovered myself to stand up and I saw

Bram holding a I married I claimed who

was struggling they flipped the ham ham

dropped something look there it is

I then did see shining and round a small

historic this filled us with hard it is

to would brown to his wonderful presence

of mind but I've greatly owners safety

for he alone saw the boy brush rounding

holiday

the young man was a Fenian it was the

sixth attempt on the Queen's life she

was severely shaken but her prestige in

the country rocketed in the space of a

few weeks republicanism was dead the

royalty problem had been swept away the

faithful John Brown was awarded the

Victoria devoted Service Medal

he's the only recipient of that honor in

history

we have a large conservative majority

change of ministry will take place

shortly mr. Gladstone is contrived to

alienate the front it was February 1874

and Israeli had won the general election

for the Conservatives at his swearing-in

the Queen treated him like a long-lost

friend thirteen years after the death of

the Prince Consort she was no longer in

deep despair I saw mr. Disraeli at

quarter to three today he knelt down and

kissed him sang I pledged my trust to

the kindest of instances never the

sovereign wishes should be done

the Queen's wishes were simple with

Disraeli now at her side she needed to

fulfill her great destiny and that to

the British people we had the largest

fleet in the world a professional army

and vast colonies that were the envy of

yo

now that the parliamentary parties had

finally tempered the British crowns

power her destiny lay in foreign affairs

the Empire Israeli too could see sound

reasons for patriotism the Conservative

Party would become the party of Empire

the Empire needed an empress and the

Queen asked Israelis government to make

her Empress of India the brightest jewel

in the imperial crown to mark the

occasion the Queen sent the Prince of

Wales out to India to preside over the

celebrations given in her honor

the prince became the incarnation of the

British Raj and was treated everywhere

like a God missions for the poor were

open and charity was dispensed in his

wake he was even given a pair of

elephants that later appeared at sandia

my thoughts much taken up with the great

event at Delhi today where I am being

proclaimed Empress of India I have for

the first time today sign to myself as

VR and I that day the first of January

1877 she wrote New Year cards one went

to Disraeli

bearing her initials VRI Victoria Regina

at Emperor Asterix another was sent to

John Brown to my best friend JB from his

best friend V our eye at about this time

the Queen also gave Browne a locket

containing some of her hair and some

belonging to Prince console emblazoned

and enormous jewels

Queen Victoria gave a dinner that night

here in Windsor Castle the night she

became Empress of India

Disraeli made a Florence speech praising

the Queen and when the Nile toast was

proposed

he called out your Imperial Majesty

whereupon to everyone's amazement the

Empress rose and did a half curtsy to

her Prime Minister

later the Queen had the durbar room

added at osborne house it looks like an

indian temple but its architecture is

rather surprising sitting in the middle

of the island light the queen was

mesmerised by india the corridor next to

the devil room is lined with portraits

of her Indian subjects as well as

Maharaja's in their magnificent costumes

she commissioned pictures of ordinary

people here we see soldiers a Potter at

the age of 102 a carpet weaver silk

spinner coppersmith servants farmers and

children they represent the close

affection the Queen Victoria held for

the people of her subcontinent the Queen

took her role as mother will be

empowered seriously a chieftain from the

Gold Coast digital and asked whether he

could take back one of her morning

bonnets to Africa as a ceremonial crime

almighty Queen give me unknown the right

to wear it and this asked my successors

the Queen was happy to oblige

Disraeli is foreign policy echoed the

Sultan's grand vision received a box

from mr. Disraeli with a very important

news that the government had purchased

the Viceroy of Egypt shares in the Suez

Canal for 4 million pounds which gives

us complete security for India it is

entirely mr. Disraeli is doing

it is just settled you have it madam the

French government has been out

generalized next day Disraeli with a

theatrical flourish presented the queen

with share certificates the Suez Canal

coup was entirely the doing how mr.

Disraeli who has very lofty views of the

positioned country should hold his mind

so much greater larger so much quicker

than that of mr. Gladstone and Israeli

was asked to sit the first Prime

Minister to do so at a Queen's audience

since Lord Melbourne 40 years before the

queen of Six there was a new woman no

longer eaten up by grief she was working

harder than she ever worked in her life

she was immensely popular with her

people and her armies and they approved

of her vision of imperial power

Disraeli may have given her the

impression she received a permanent

position overseeing the empire but

Gladstone had other ideas

preparing for the fast approaching

general election in 1880 Gladstone was

making a series of electrifying speeches

in his Midlothian constituency and

elsewhere

he attacked the colonial wars which had

done so much for the prestige of the

Queen and the country pleading for the

rights of the Savage he denounced the

title of Empress of India as theatrical

bombast and folly by appealing directly

to the nation in this way the Queen

believed that Gladstone was usurping her

will but when the Liberal Party won the

election the Queen was faced with the

alarming prospect of Gladstone as Prime

Minister again

she will sooner abdicate them center

that half-mad firebrand others but

herself nice admitted his democratic

rule but not agree

there must be no attempt to change the

foreign policy no change in India and no

hasty retreat from Afghanistan with

gladstone in power again the Queen

became less interested in affairs of

state when she was spending time at

Balmoral she often preferred to stay

here at the glass old her house on Lok

m'q some miles away from the castle at

times this house was literally at the

hub of the Empire it's modest rooms and

simple furniture really rather humble

for the Empress of India

then chemists series of tragic blows

first her close friend Israeli died in

April 1881 such a loss is irreparable to

me in the country to lose such a pillar

of strength at such a time is dreadful

then John Brown had to carry the Queen

back into the castle after a fall at

Windsor in March 1883 at less than two

weeks later the dreadful news that my

good faithful Brown had passed away

early this morning it is the loss not

only of a servant but of a real friend

the shock the blow the blank the

constant missing at every turn of the

worm strong powerful arm head almost

stunned me and I am truly overwhelmed

and now all is gone all is gone in this

world and all seems unhinged again in

thousands of ways such was the status of

John Brown when he died but wreaths were

placed on his grave by princesses

Empress's even he may have been only a

simple Gilly without education but he

was the only person in the household who

could make the Queen do what you didn't

want when Prince Albert died a statue of

him was placed on the Balmoral estate it

faces the one of Queen Victoria

remarkably enough just about here where

I'm standing the Queen put another one

up to John Brown when he died and so the

three memorials together formed a

triangle his statue was removed from the

triangle by King Edward the seventh when

his mother died and tucked away here in

the woods the Queen at 65 was lonely but

still resolute foreign policy remained

her obsession and here she felt Gadsden

was it his most neglectful when General

Gordon was under siege from hostile

troops in the Sudan she begged Gaston to

send out a rescue column to Khartoum

the Queen trembles for general Gordon's

safety if anything befall him the result

will be awful six weeks later the Queen

was still questioning captain's policies

mr. blanton you told the Queen when we

last met Gordon must be supported yet

what he asked for repeatedly nearly five

weeks ago has been refused not the

humanity sick for the honor of the

government and the nation

when Gordon was murdered nearly a year

later just before the relief column

finally arrived the country was an

uproar now from Osborn the Queen sent a

telegram to Gladstone it was

deliberately uncoded for all the world

to read saying to think that all this

might have been prevented and many

precious lives saved by earlier action

is too frightful his army who have as

the head of the nation to bear the

humiliation the Gordon de baak was

responsible for bringing down the

Gladstone government but in six months

Gladstone was back and it was the issue

of Irish self-government the Home Rule

bill that did most to divide the country

and also Gladstone from the sovereign to

Queen Victoria Home Rule was a threat to

her empire ignoring her true

constitutional role the Queen set out in

1886 to disrupt Home Rule by secretly

working with a conservative opposition

leader Lord Salisbury she was letting

him see Gladstone's confidential cabinet

papers to the Queen about the bills

progress may its the Queen sends Lourdes

sauce for the copy of mr. Gladstone's

letter to her

there was a very important cabinet

meeting to decide whether any

concessions were to be made in the bill

if they were made they would certainly

be defeated this is the fast amount of

defeat please return the enclosed May

10th the Queen sends mr. Gladstone

second letter received last night which

she would also ask to have back

the Queen was at Balmoral when the final

vote on home rule was taken but division

within Gladstone zone party was making

the bills progress increasingly unlikely

did not sleep well as I felt worried and

anxious when I got up a telegram was

brought to me which gave the news that

the government had been defeated by a

majority of 30 cannot help feeling

relieved and think it is the best for

the interests of the country

more than 30 years earlier and the

halcyon summer days at Osborn the Royal

children gave a regular afternoon tea

party and the swiss cottage for their

parents the Queen and Prince Albert

here in the children's own Playhouse the

Prince Consort conceived the grandiose

scheme for his family his plan was to

marry the family into royal houses on

the continent his aim is to achieve

peace and influence in Europe

and here you can see demonstrated the

Prince Consort greatest vision this

famous photograph was taken by Queen

Victoria went to Coburg to attend a

family wedding over 30 years later in

1894

there are cousins from Russia here's the

Tsar Germany the Kaiser Romania as well

as connections with Spain and with

Greece and Denmark

my great-grandfather King up at the 7th

to be all these people are related to

Queen Victoria but closer analysis of

the picture shows how the dream was

about to shatter first he be married was

Princess Victoria Vicky Prince Albert's

eldest and favorite daughter at 17 she

married Prince Frederick of Prussia the

Prince Consort hoped that through this

marriage the belligerent prussian

descendancy would be tempered by a

liberal constitutional monarchy instead

the worst happened and the couple

produced a son Kaiser William sitting

here with the wax moustaches he was the

Queen's German grandson and it was he

who led his armies against Britain in

the First World War

please advise me how to say we would

like to send a letter to the Viceroy

come Viceroy go home Viceroy go big cut

it cut cut Your Majesty

the sovereign began to learn Hindustani

so she could deal with indian affairs of

state suddenly another strange figure

came into the Queen's life and helped to

send a telegram to the Viceroy home

Viceroy cool Abdul Karim was engaged as

a teacher and Indian secretary forever

at her side he now took the place of his

own brow abdul karim known as the

Munchie or teacher was disliked by the

court as much as bran

in early 1894 the Queen's LDAP restrict

Gladstone finally came to hand in his

resignation he was 85 10 years older

than the Queen both had such poor

eyesight they could scarcely see each

other and although gladsome had served

the Queen as her prime minister a record

four times at his final audience the

Queen uttered not a word of that

she had much difficulty in finding

topics for an adequate prolongation but

fog and rain and a coming journey to it

all did that duty and hoped she was at

the highest point of her cheerfulness in

a miserable day outside again today mr.

Johnston my journey to Italy shortly

should be very good for my health and

for the sake of the country

Gladstone's great power had come with

the birth of the nation's first modern

party democracy it had made the two of

them needless rivals for the country's

affection with Gladstone's passing the

Queen was at last prepared to assume a

role of prestige and influence rather

than power a pattern followed by

sovereigns ever since in June 1897 the

60th anniversary of the Queen's

accession the might of the British

Empire was on parade in London the

Queen's Diamond Jubilee here the Queen

had no need to exert her power over

difficult politician as mother of the

Empire her influence was there for all

to see and she was clearly moved by the

occasion and never to be forgotten day

no one ever I believe has met with such

an ovation which was given me passing

through those six miles of streets the

crowd was quite indescribable and their

enthusiasm truly marvelous and deeply

touching every face seemed to be filled

with real joy I was much moved and

gratified surrounded by a mounted escort

of various members of her family from

all over the world

Queen Victoria arrived in her carriage

as some Paul's Cathedral she was too

arthritic to go up the steps so a

special service was held outside with

the Queen sitting here in her carriage

at the bottom

that day for the first time the Queen

used Telegraph to send her Jubilee

message around the Empire from my heart

I thanked my beloved people may God

bless them eighty years old her eyesight

failing the Queen still had one more

service to perform with the outbreak of

the Boer War in 1899 in South Africa she

found a new lease of life rallying the

nation after a string of defeats staring

memos were dispatched to her government

and to her commanders I sincerely hope

that the increased taxation necessary to

meet the expenses of the war will not

fall upon the working classes the

attempted relief of lady Smith would

have succeeded had we had more troops

read tapings and useless difficulties

must not be regarded would not

corrugated iron Hut's be used instead of

tents

it is quite imperative that Lord Roberts

should not move until he has plenty of

troops pray impress this on please let

me know what steps you intend to take to

protect the Zulus from being attacked by

the Boers we are bound in honor to stand

by my native subject the Queen

dispatched a hundred thousand tins of

chocolate to the men at the front which

promptly melted in the African Sun a

period in December 1899 became known as

black week after three major defeats of

the British Army but Windsor the Queen

rose to the occasion

telling the Foreign Secretary please

understand there is no undepressed in

this house we are not interested in the

possibilities of defeat they did not

exist but black week coincided with the

anniversary of the death of Prince

Albert and privately the Queen showed

her real feelings when she visited the

mausoleum at Frogmore already 38 years

since the dreadful catastrophe which

crushed and changed my life and deprived

me of my guardian angel feel very low

and anxious about the war by Christmas

1900 the Queen was not well she was

sleeping badly eating nothing

on Christmas Eve she came down to the

durbar roma cause born to see the

distribution of presents but could only

write I felt very melancholy because I

see so badly I gave all my personal

servants their usual presents I took a

little sufferer in my room on January

13th 1901 the Queen's Journal the diary

she had written for 69 years finally

came to an end with out before 1:00 in

the garden chair luncheon and Beatrice

going with me

rested afterwards then did some signing

the Queen was taken ill and she slowly

began to sink from all over the country

and from Europe members of her family

began to assemble at Osborne house the

Queen lingered on for ten days and

finally on the 22nd of January 1901

learning that the end was near

they began gathering at her bedside Sir

James read the Queen's doctor at her

deathbed later wrote all the family was

summoned and the Bishop of Winchester

said prayers for the dying while I kept

plying her with oxygen princesses

Christian Louise and Beatrice kept

mentioning each other's names the Queen

for long too blind to see my path but

now lead thou me on

dear mama is Beatrice luncheon is closed

too

it's luncheon you're not alone

it's Bertie

the Kaiser remained the whole time on

the opposite side to me the Queen kept

looking at me and frequently gasped sir

James I'm very ill a few minutes before

she died that eyes turned fixedly to the

right and gazed on the picture of Christ

in the entombment of Christ over the

fireplace she died with my arm round her

I gently removed it led her down the

pillar and kissed her hand when she died

at 6:30 I had for the last hour been

kneeling at the right side supporting

her in a semi upright position helped by

the kaiser note on the opposite side of

the bed

the Queen wanted a white funeral a

picture of her was painted at Osborne

looking serene in her final sleep

dressed in white

the death of Queen Victoria marked the

end of one of the greatest eras in the

history of this country but there was

one final twist she had left the secret

list of keepsakes that she wanted placed

in her coffin

some of malbert and the children but

there were others too she ordered Sir

James read her doctor to hide them from

everyone Sir James called in members of

the family to see her and Princess

Alexandra was the last and she arranged

white flowers if so she looked beautiful

and then they all left and he put a

photograph of John Brown in her left

hand as per instructions and a lock of

his hair which he wrapped up in tissue

paper and then he covered her up with

the white flowers which Queen Alexandra

had put there and then he called in the

rest of the members of the household to

come do you think that the Queen

Victoria's children were aware of some
