You know, Victoria and Albert are treated as the Adam/Eve of the British monarchy. HM keeps a chair that Queen Victoria sat on empty and shrieked at a few people for almost sitting there and lately there is a clear distinction about descendants of Queen Victoria. It's as if anyone who came before Queen Victoria does not count.

It's as if anyone who came before Queen Victoria does not count. If she does it's a crying shame because she has some stellar ancestors that are heads and tails above many of whom who get the good press because they are from present times and of course are known world wide. I should highlight here sometime soon my own findings with some ancestral and personal research. Her 3rd great grandmother literally gave her life and standing so her son could have one, really. That is my conclusion anyways. And yes her story has mostly been shut aside except by a few authors and others. More on that later. |

Queen Victoria ticked off the Tsar because she wanted to have Grand Duchess Marie sent over to England to be looked over before a marriage proposal would be allowed and that caused a diplomatic mess. So insulting really. It is also clear that Queen Victoria made the mistake of not including her son in some affairs of state, leaving him to drift.

No she didn't. She never let up on him and never treated him as anything other than a feckless failure even as a small child. She is also responsible for this mess that the current BRF is in and it is frustrating that Victoria is held up as an ideal despite her support of child labor and her cruel treatment of the Irish during the Great Famine.

But also the Romanovs were very self important and demanding higher precedence for Marie (later Duchess of SCG) than the English princesses allegedly and Vic was having none of that. Yes she could have included him but he was rather uninspiring and shiftless from a young age too. Not an unintelligent man but rather not grounded and too susceptible to a lazy, louche kind of lifestyle. They definitely butted heads. |

I fully agree; supposedly Marie wanted precedence over Alexandra, which was absurd since Alexandra was Princess of Wales, not just another royal wife of a minor royal like Marie would be. Thankfully Victoria slapped that down. As for her son, Albert was supposedly really harsh on Edward from a young age and therefore Edward didn't thrive as he might otherwise would have.

I think it was because Beatrice was kept by Victoria as a companion and almost prevented fro marrying at all. I do not think that Victoria is the best monarch ever and I am sick of hearing about how she had the best values of any monarch ever. She made the Irish suffer throughout the famine, taking all the food that was grown by the Irish and sent it to England and prevented others from sending in aid.
