The Heartbreaking Truth Behind Queen Victoria's Loss | Royal Upstairs Downstairs

It was the first official visit that Victoria made after the death of her beloved husband Prince Albert, and Tim discovers in her diary that, despite the passage of six years, she still felt Albert's loss keenly. She wrote in her account that the 'feeling of loneliness when I saw no room for my darling, and felt I was indeed alone and a widow, overcame me very sadly! I thought so much of all dearest Albert would have done and said, and how he would have wandered about everywhere, admired everything, looked at everything - and now! Oh! Must it ever, ever be so?'

Appropriately for a castle resting on the river Tweed, Rosemary and food historian and chef Ivan Day prepare a special royal dish, salmon à la chambord. Created by chef Antonin Carême, often considered to be the first celebrity chef, it is an elaborate dish of poached salmon garnished with sole, truffles and crayfish.

From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.

As a widow myself my heart aches for the loneliness she must have felt. Albert was probably the only person that knew the real Victoria.

This brought tears to my eyes. Poor Victoria. I can only imagine the pain and heartache she was enduring. Now she is reunited with Albert.

I was delighted to see the old fishing rod...my husband has his grandfather's and it looks exactly like that one! It is probably much older than we thought.

Poor dear Rosemary now a widow who also lost her Mum - husband and Mum within weeks of each other! 😭 oh my heart! I can’t imagine! My mum died in May of 2019. My fiancé and I have been separated since March 2020 by the US/Canada border closure. Both of us in our early 50’s - such precious time lost. So sad!

What an amazing episode, I have watched nearly all your videos so please keep them coming because I find Queen Victoria fascinating. Thank you.

Even though I was divorced from my husband, I still loved him and when he passed away, I still couldn't date for another 4 years. Our children miss him dearly. I never remarried and after I turned 50 I still think of him and I havent Found anyone interesting enough to date again. I can definitely understand Queen Victoria and how lonely and depressed she felt. At last, I believe that they are together in the afterlife. No love that big could be left as your legacy still moves on.

The love that Victoria had for Albert is inspiring. I hope to love someone that much some day.

Tim and Rosemary are so sweet I love them

[thomasszymanski]

I am always curious about the fish preparation. Would they have taken the smaller bones out of the fish before poaching? If not, would they be suck eating around with the small bones in the salmon?

[andreawilson]

Look forward to the release of the new episode each week!

[KuriaSecunda]

I feel bankrupt just looking at how many truffles were in one dish lol

Victorians chefs were very hands-on weren't they? I mean i don't think there were plastic gloves. And it's always easier to use your fingers to create something so meticulous
