Queen Victoria's HORRIFIC Death

Inside her bedchamber in Osborne House, her favourite residence, on the 22nd January 1901 at the age of 81, Queen Victoria was gravely ill. She was a Queen who had been on the throne for a huge amount of time, and the impending death of Victoria was a big problem for the nation that she had reigned over. It was such a long time since a monarch had died that the precedent and ettiequte of a state funeral had also died out, and not one person in the country had any experience in dealing with this sort of event. But inside of her bedroom, the Queen who had ruled for 63 years was slipping away surrounded by her family. She was a woman who was not very well, and she was also a Queen who had suffered with depression and great grief and upset for years following the death of her husband Prince Albert. But what happened in Queen Victoria’s final moments?

There are truly "horrific" ways to die and this is not one of them.

If I may, please don't use clickbait titles. You do good work, and the exaggerated titles just cheapen it.

[Courtneybenson]

I really don’t find dying in your favorite house, surrounded by your children and grandchildren horrific.

[caroldickens]

It wasn't an horrific death!! She suffered heartache of losing 3 adult children & a grandchild, that part is horrific for any body to have to deal with.. She lived a long life, she died at home surrounded by her loved ones. That's how all of us would like to end our days.

Nothing horrific about this normal elderly death. A relatively peaceful death and so good to have her family there.

I was brought up in an English school, with the royal religion forced upon me (even though I would never change that). Queen Victoria I've always learned was ill. But I can tell you a few horrific deathes out my own family of young people gone to soon. Please don't feel sorry for her death. Feel sorry for her childhood

I’ve enjoyed this channel greatly for the past year, but five consecutive episode titles with HORRIFIC seems hyperbolic and all for clicks. As much as I like a dark tale, I hope this isn’t turning into “Her HORRIFIC History.” Also hope YouTube hasn’t forced it to come to this to sustain or grow viewership. Your content has been very good, and stands on it’s own merits.

[carmenseryani]

With that title you would think she was stabbed to death in her bed. Still waiting for more information on what was so horrific about her death.

[dukeofhaas]

Old woman dies peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family. Absolutely HORRIFIC. My dear, you need to stop this baiting. P.S. I will no longer watch another of your videos.

[zzzbbbooo]

Another ridiculous and misleading title. Queen Victoria died peacefully in her old age. She was comfortable and had her family and those close to her at her side, nothing "horrific" about it.

[historybuff]

I am a bit confused... how is dieing in your favorite house with your family around you, horrific? Sounds like it was pretty ideal, as death's go. Was her family so bad that that is what made it horrific? I guess it is just click bate.

[thecameraninja]

Please stop calling this series 'the horrific death of..' its cheap clickbait, its disingenuous, if you have to have spectacular headlines to get people to watch, then you havent got an interesting story!

In my opinion, the Victorians were rather melodramatic or lived in denial. Unlike today, Victoria had reigned for 64 yrs. It's likely that until the House of Commons and the House of Lords would have had to be consulted to even know what the procedures were for the protocol to plan a State Funeral. I suspect the family's reaction to her death and the chaos of figuring out a State Funeral was rather horrific. I personally would find it horrific if I were ill, blind, confused and had been lonely for years had a horde of relatives crying, sobbing, wringing their hands and talking about me as though they had no idea what to do about a funeral should I actually die, would be quite horrific.

As many have already Commented, her death was hardly horrific. She was remarkably old for that time, died in her home, and with family around her. From all I’ve heard about QV, she was not a particularly “nice” person. She was very cruel to her children, and ridiculed and dismissed her husband Albert’s chronic health issues. Today Albert’s symptoms would likely lead to a diagnosis of Crohn’s Disease, a very painful and debilitating disease. IMO, I believe the most remarkable things about her were the length of her reign, the number of children she had, and the way in which her children were used, as is so common among royalty, to marry into other European royal families for political alignments and to spread that royal blood of hers around; you know, the blood that carried hemophilia and all that entailed regarding the Russian revolution.

8:20 Imagine the look on the Undertaker's face when the Royals asked him "Where's the coffin?" lol. Not horrific, just a lot of grieving family members coping with the death of an elderly relative. We all go through it. They just happened to go through it with nice mansions / palaces, fancy clothes, jewels, underpaid servants, no financial worries, yadda yadda yadda.

[DanaDark]

Elderly rich lady dies warm in her bed surrounded by loved ones in a palace... so horrific. Truly, how could such a thing happen to anyone?

[TheJoan]

No wonder Queen Elizabeth planned her funeral way ahead of time. What a bunch of fawning nicompoops her relatives were to not even accept the poor woman was dying. She must have been relieved to be laid to rest beside her true love, Albert and get her privacy back after all that.

[neilthewheelio]

The most horrific thing is that the Royal Undertaker forgot the coffin.

[SusanFromTexas]

Well done video, but the title is misleading. I wouldn't call her death "horrific" by any sense of the word. She died of old-age, surrounded by her family, in her favorite home.

[sallypope]

The horrific part is that she lived through so many deaths of her family members.
