What Was Queen Victoria Like Behind Closed Doors? | Victoria's Secrets | Real Royalty

28 minutes in and still waiting to find out what Queen Victoria was like behind closed doors.

I think the doctors of the day kind of knew that Victoria was suffering from depression after Albert’s death. It’s too bad none of them could help her.

Here. I’ll try to help. She really DID like sex, a LOT, but, I honestly think it wasn’t the sex on it own. I truly believe it was the closeness with Albert. (Clasped in his arms at night, where she felt loved and safe. Don’t we all want that?) When he died, she said now I have no one to call me by my name. Nobody COULD. Can you imagine? When he died, that’s IT. There was no WAY to get remarried. No way to have that relationship again. They were truly in love, and they irritated the sh*t out of each other a lot, but they were devoted to each other. And she was not a snot compared to other monarchs at the time about birth class. She actually was pretty enlightened about other cultures and religions.

Victoria was a result of the way she was handled as a child. She was very abused by Conley with the allowed by her Mother. It made her very strong in trying to protect herself. That’s what some kids do. You find ways to deal with it and Albert married a very troubled emotional woman. He gets Conley removed from her life along with her maid who was no longer needed. But when she felt Albert was usurping her it triggered her anger. He stood up to her and became more important to her life. I understood why she reacted this way.

I always enjoy the documentaries that feature Prince Michael of Kent. He is a distinguished and uniquely knowledgeable commentator.

Dr. Livingstone, did not discover the falls, but rather was the first European to see it. We had local people who lived around that area and had a local name for the falls Mosi-oa-Tunya. 21:55

What was Victoria like behind closed doors? Well, that’s Victoria’s Secret!! Lol 😝

what a fascinating lady! So she fell in love with John Brown but secretly concealed that so the public could think her love for Albert was immortal. But John Brown was the one who rescued her from grief and depression, and became her true love.

That woman who called Q.Victoria selfish does not understand much about depression. Anyone who is suffering from grief and depression could be called selfish, but when a person is under that dark cloud, they can hardly be judged.

52:52 "Victoria took many of her secrets to the grave..." Including the designs for some quite impressive bras, panties and assorted other lingerie.

Please notice that before, during and after Queen Victorias' era the color for (baby) girls was light blue, not pink. Pink was the color for (baby) boys until the early 1940s. If the sex is indicated by reference to the ribbon, which is pink, the coil of hair shown at 28:40 is that of a boy, not a girl. In this case, HE was brown-haired, not she. Whoever "he" could be... The commentator, and the archivist as well, should have known this.

Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II were my favorite queens. They were amazing queens

I hate that her daughter burned her diaries....🙄 But I'm glad some still survived. I would have loved to learn about her, her life and times from her own pov

3:55 "As the adolescent Victoria enjoys glimpses of well built men" - wait, what??! That kind of came out of nowhere lol.

Amazing video and history. I never realized Victoria was such a progressive Queen.

Queen Victoria loved her children but she had a hard time expressing it due to her own dysfunctional relationship with her mother. Giving birth to 9 children and running an empire really took a toll on her. Had she lived much longer, she could have stopped WWI from happening.

No, we don't really get much of an answer to the question. but one thing this channel appears to have missed is the real cause of death of the Prince Consort. Doctors and others have looked at his medical records and correspondence in recent years and concluded that he probably died of Crohns disease , which was not known of at the time. He seemed to have a bad digestive system and had periodic stomach problems, the symptoms of which pointed toward Crohns.

Always enjoy your video. Thank you for sharing

There’s a school here in Malaysia ( formerly known as Malaya, a former colony of the British Empire) called Victoria Institution or VI for short ( named after Queen Victoria). There’s so many British names here still. Fraser’s Hill, Cameron Highlands, Georgetown etc

At 5.30, the narrator refers to William IV's dying days in 1838. As far as I am aware, Victoria came to the throne on 20 June 1837.
