The Forbidden Love Of Queen Victoria

The Forbidden love of Queen Victoria

In British history, one of the most famous royal couples to note are Victoria and Albert. A love story that transcends time. Victoria adores Albert. He was her lover, her friend and her confidant. But there were other men before him who tried to win the hand of Victoria, one man even came close to taking her as his bride. But who are the other suitors ad romances before she Became a wife?

In 1837, Victoria ascended to the throne. Her reign ended a 120 Hanoverian rule that brought years of dissolute male ordinance. Victoria was 18 years old and she was as a by product young and untainted. She would bring a sense of goodness and wisdom and she was full of beauty and hope for her nation. As such, Victoria would recieve a mass of letters. These were a rain storm of self possessed love for the queen. The suitors would profess their love for her and a steady flow of stalkers and admirers would be known by the press as the queen lovers.

Princess Beatrice has the eyes of both Victoria and Albert.

Thanks for this video! In one of the Queen Victoria documentaries (I think it was the BBC but I'm not certain) the Grand Duke is portrayed as saying he did not want to marry Victoria because she was a "dwarf." Not in front of her, of course.

At 6:09 you are saying the man pictured is Alexander Nicholiavich but this is a photo of Alexander Mikhailovich who married Tsar Nicholas II's sister Xenia.

Thanks for posting up, very interesting, especially all the lunatics trying to get hold of Victoria hand in marriage 🇬🇧👍

Never would've thought that Victoria had stalkers like so many of today's celebrities do, lol. 12:30 is that a hint of a smile on Victoria's face? 😲 Perhaps this video can be edited to remove the images of Grand Duke Sandro, who was born in 1866.

That photo is of Sandro, GD Xenia's husband

You're using inaccurate pictures of the Grand Duke in some if not all cases.

The photo of Alexander of Russia is incorrect. The photo is Alexander Mikhailovitch.He was married to Czar Nicholas II sister Xenia.

I have been a long time follower of yours. I enjoy your topics and videos. Am confused as to why you didn't include actual photos of Alexander II as Victoria's visitor? I believe you included the husband of Xenia, Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich of Russia. I now see someone else has spotted this as well.

WHY is a picture of Sandro on here? Please do better. I enjoy your posts, and rely on your thorough research.

Why did the English royal family always seem to marry their cousins from Germany starting from George the 1st and continuing with Elisabeth the II ? Also, didn't one of Victoria's sons marry Alexander's daughter mush later on?

Sopposedly Victoria was insatiable. Albert had to lock the door to he\is bedroom to keep her from sneaking in for a bit of midnight delight

The pairing with the Rus Grand Duke would have changed history for the better

[kellyallen]

She was not beautiful and much evidence that she was not a nice person and even worse mother. She treated her children appallingly especially Leopold when she allowed him to be beaten by his teacher fully aware he had haemophilia, was never happy for her children when they achieved anything. In short made their lives miserable. It was NOT mapped out who she would marry, as queen it was her choice. Her mother may have suggested but, she was free to make her own choice.

La reine Victoria n'a jamais été belle même quand elle était jeune mais c'était un parti intéressant
