  Funny how Queen Elizabeth II wasn’t meant to be queen either, but both she and Victoria made history as queens.

  I thought it was ironic that she fell down the stairs. An accident her mother tried to avoid for 18 yrs.

  How sweet that she wanted her dog placed on her bed as she was dying. She obviously loved dogs from the time she was a child, and my theory is that she wanted her dog to know that she had died and had not abandoned it. How lovely that she cared so deeply for the dog.

  Sadly interesting that Charlottes death was the only reason that Victoria was born. If Charlotte had lived....one of those big “what if’s” of history.

  Fun fact:<br>She was named Aleksandrina in honor to Alexander I of Russia (who hugely participated in Napoleon&apos;s defeat). He was also her godfather.

  It really bothers me how there’s always a line of being cold toward the kids in this family

  Victoria began the tradition of brides wearing white and she also began the tradition of wearing black for mourning when her husband died. She’s the queen of fashion

  One really cool thing: <br>Victoria was multilingual. <br>She spoke: English, French, German, and Italian! Also learned a little bit of hindi! Her and Albert spoke German to each other in private! I have always been fascinated by multilingualism! Queen Victoria is one of <br>the inspirations toward me learning French and German on top of Spanish!<br>Possibly catalan too! But we’ll see!

  Prince Albert was the best husband a queen could ask for

  It’s very funny to me that once Charlotte died, everyone scrambled to produce an heir. It must have been bitter for Victoria to know that the only reason for her birth was to get someone to succeed her old uncle.

  I kind of think John Brown was probably her best friend. He helped pull her out of her depression after Albert died and supported her bluntly. When she fell he carried her without hesitation. I guess to brown there was no difference in status he just saw his friend being hurt. They could’ve been lovers and that’s all good, maybe Victoria needed someone like John to help her in her old age.
