Victoria's first order as queen was to be left totally alone for a couple of hours.... because she'd literally never had any privacy or agency in her entire childhood.
That’s awful.
@@jackwimmer2249 when her husband Albert died she wrote, "The only person on this Earth who could call me by my name is gone." Just chilled me to the bone the first time I read it... I can't even fathom that degree of isolation.
Victoria was a deeply flawed, damaged person (especially as a mother) but she herself suffered terribly as well. Her life is a testament to epic achievements AND grief.
@@Miss.Kacie.M there are a number of biographical programs about her and her family, from her perspective, from Albert's perspective, her daughters' perspectives, and also her sons'. They are *fascinating* and many are available here on youtube.
@@suzbone I know almost nothing about her, but if she wasn’t a highly functional human being, the wholesale isolation from every member of the species but her mother might’ve contributed to that one. I really can’t imagine what that would do to someone psychologically, particularly while growing up with the brain still forming.
@@suzbone victoria also spread haemophilia when the children of her got married
This is underselling it. Her mother was a monster, mostly due to Conroy.
For real she hated John Conroy cause he manipulated her mother?
It sounds like her mother manipulated her!!! Like what?
I wouldn't call her a monster. She was very strict and conservative.
@@grievuspwn4g3 Victoria’s mother was never queen
And she was also a monster. Look how she treated her kids...
Pretty sure Conroy was responsible for the deaths
It was not in order to keep her pure. It was in order to keep her weak and unsecured, to make her totally dependant on her mother and Conroy who was hoping to become Lord protector.
this is why some People don't like their own parents
The way he said it, I'm pretty sure "pure" was meant to be in quotations
Didn't she had a blood related disease?
@@ifykyk679 Yeah but that isn't Victoria's fault. The disease is due to years of incest so pretty much a lot of British monarchs and relatives had this disease. Remember, the monarchy practiced cousin marriages.
That's what he meant when he said "pure" in quotes
She wasn't allowed to walk down stairs without another adult holding her hand, when she became queen she stopped her mom's silliness.
Maybe it was her mom's discipline which you call silliness that made her a great queen
@@GodisMyNo1 no. Look up the facts before saying shit like this.
@@GodisMyNo1 Wrong. She became a great queen because she sent her mother away after being crowned Queen. She took control of her own life instead of letting someone dictate it.
@@GodisMyNo1 Surprised it didn't make her go insane before she ever got to be queen.
@@tuxiclassicpage I think loathing her own children and smothering her youngest daughter after her husband died, is a clear sign her childhood indeed made her go insane.
Her marriage to Prince Albert wasn’t only good for her heart, but her mental health as well. She was only allowed to stop living with her mother when she got married, and luckily found the perfect match with Albert.
It's not strictly true that her marriage was good for her mental health. Many historians believe that Albert was controlling and in fact infantalised her. Taking control with each pregnancy.
They were cousins, but there’s nothing else wrong with their relationship other than that.
@@theluminaryofthestars4181 I think you will find you're wrong. According to many historians Albert was very controlling and he infantilised her. They used to have many heated arguments. Plus she then unhealthily stayed in mourning for him for years. You need to read A N Wilson's biography.
@@Jo-pr7bg oh, sorry. I didn’t realize that. I just don’t know a lot about monarchs and all that stuff because I’m not interested in history.
thanks for the info though, gonna keep that in mind. had no idea about that, poor Victoria.
@@theluminaryofthestars4181 Victoria's diaries are quite illuminating! A N Wilson seems to have researched them a lot. You might enjoy some of his books on Albert & Victoria 😁👍
Interesting to think that just two queens have reigned in Britain for 135 years out of the past 185; kings reigned only 50 of those years.
Wow
@@agyeiwaaosei3045um, she hasn't ruled during the last 185 years?
And look at the state of the UK, such a backwater. Sun set long ago.
Yeah their kings always died or went to some wars and did stupid sh*t. Makes sense
@@bmona7550 what king went to war in the last 135 years
You forgot she wasn’t aloud outside at all she wasn’t allowed to leave the rooms she and her mom lived in. Her mom also forbid her from playing with any other children so basically she only knew a handful of adults her entire childhood
And when she was sick nobody took it seriously
Aloud

@@Jo-pr7bg aloud
She was actually born to be queen. Because non of the five heirs who were her uncles has legitimate children. She was always going to be queen.
Small correction. It was actually quite likely at her birth she would get the crown. All of her uncles didn't have legitimate children. It was possible they could but part of the reasons she was born was specifically to make more heirs after the death of princess Charlotte. She was born for the sole reason of not having any heirs
And people wonder why she married her cousin when she couldnt meet anyone
They all married their cousins/second cousins/third cousins. Over and over. Even the more distant relations were still cousins
@@shroomtastic4875 I mean ties only broke off when most monarchs fell after WW1 and the world some nations got tired of monarchy and Autocracy
Royalty don't marry for love, so I doubt she had much choice. It was EXPECTED of her or anyone next in line to marry for the sake of the country, not for the sake of love.
Well, Cousin marriage in 18th century was quite common not only among Royals but also among common people.
@@AirConditioner402thing is Victoria loved Albert quite a bit and when he died in 1861 she continued to wear black out of mourning for the rest of her life.
At least the current Prince of Wales desires to raise his children like an ordinary dad.
Thanks to his late mother legacy, Princess Diana

@@muhammadnursyahmi9440 💯💯
*desired* you mean. Past tense. The new king’s children are both adult men now, they no longer need to be raised.
@@MatildaV1980 I think they're referring to William, he's the current Prince of Wales since his father became king
I am amazed how she didn't get depressed under those circumstances. Living alone with your mother till u r 18 is quite strange.
She was depressed
she is depressed…
You don't know what you're missing if you never had it. Victoria wouldn't know what she was missing if she was isolated all her life
how is living alone with your mother until youre eighteen strange? wut
@@KK-ln9gu I don't get it either. They made the mother out to be a monster when she was just protecting her from harm smh
Unlikely she would become Queen? 🤔She literally was conceived for THAT purpose. There were no legitimate heirs…. The brothers went on a marriage and mating spree to see who would sire the heir.
My thought exactly, her fathers elder brothers didnt have any living children and were already elderly. They didnt pass away suddenly. They reached at least middle age. The only one who passed away unexpectedly was probably her cousin Charlotte, who died in Childbirth, and her death was the only reason Victoria was even conceived.
@@Huli83William IV had several children who outlived him, but they were all with his mistress.
There was a lot of disease at that time, even royalty wasn't immune from it. Keeping Victoria isolated might've kept her alive. Still, her mother took it too far.
and funny thing is she carried the recessive genes of hemophilia...
so her mother was basically iscolating others from her 🤔
Somewhere I was told her mother never allowed her to walk up or down a staircase without holding the hand of either her mother or a trusted companion.
Actually, Victoria was born to be Queen. The only reason her father got married, was to have a legitimate child who could inherit the throne. Since George IV’s only daughter had died, and none of his older brothers had legitimate children, at the time of her birth Victoria was very likely to inherit the throne.
Hard to have kids when everyone in your family tree is related by blood to one another 🤣
Thats exactly what i was thinking,Victorias whole existence was based of the quest of the sons of George III for a legitimate heir to the throne after Charlotte died
Actually Victoria’s father Edward was already considering marriage even before Princess Charlotte (the only legitimate child of George IV) died.
It wasn’t really to keep Victoria “pure” it was to build dependency. Conroy and her mother had such a ridged system because they wanted Victoria to be fully reliant on them, seeking their guidance and instruction over anyone else’s. Thankfully Victoria was already a willful girl and the assistance she received from her servants as well as her uncle King Leopold of Belgium helped her maintain her independence.
It was actually a big issue when Victoria was heir presumptive and William IV was close to death. If he died before she became 18, Conroy and her mother would get to rule as regents and keep their control, but if he died after she became 18 she would get to be queen in her own right. William IV himself was determined to die after Victoria’s birthday to give her her rightful place and did so, shaping history as we know it
OMG! I feel sorry for her. Having to share a room with her mother until she was queen.
I shutter to think if she fidn't become queen. Till marriage maybe? Or perhqps not even then
She famously had her mothers bed moved out of her room the day she became queen.
@@thedivinewayofbeing That’s not the same thing. They had the money 💵 in your situation it’s necessary. Best wishes at University. 🥰 🇺🇸
They just died unexpectedly huh; something tells me her mom had a hand in their untimely deaths
They didn't die suddenly. Her grandfather was I'll for a long time. One of her uncles became a morbidly obese glutton. Her other uncle who lived till she was 18 was old.
And a another Uncle and her own father
@@Tasha9315 And William IV daughters all died as infants
I'm not saying there couldn't be something there, but this was a time when it was common that children died and people typically didn't live past their 50s.
No, they didn't die just because. This dude is lazy with his research.
This makes her mother sounds less villainous. And yeah, her mother's villain origin story was that the King of that time (William IV) had mistress and sired many illegitimate children.
She was actually expected to be Queen since birth, since the people who were before her in the line of succession were her older uncles & father, since they had no children, it was expected that when they eventually die, Victoria will gain the throne, which she did.
Queen Victoria's mother was
not a nice person - step father was
worse. Lucky she got to be Queen
at all with those ppl🙏🇬🇧
He SAed her ,if I'm not mistaken?? Her mom was just all kinds of twisted ..
He wasn't her step father he was her mother's lover and secretary.
Queen Victoria didn't have a step father.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
So all 3 of the greatest English Queens since Henry VIII weren’t likely to become monarch when they were born?
That's usually why there's a queen on the throne, because all the other options were dead XD
Correct. When you have a group of siblings, in the order of succession, boys were always prioritized before age. So let’s say you have 5 children, the eldest is a girl and the rest are all boys. Even though the girl is the eldest, she gets pushed back behind all her brothers because they’re boys. And once her brothers grow up and have their own kids, those kids also cut in front of her, because children get in line directly behind whichever parent is ahead of the other. They cut in front of that parent's next younger siblings. Next thing you know, said hypothetical daughter basically has no chances of being regnant queen despite being the eldest out of all her siblings. Up until around 2013, the system was literally designed to make it more difficult for women to take the throne by their own rights, so the vast majority of English queens were just consort queens rather than regnant queens. Most royals have multiple children with preferences for sons, so this is why regnant queens are so rare in English history.
The main reason Elizabeth II got the throne is because her only sibling was also a girl, she was the eldest, and her father was able to become king since his older brother abdicated. If Edward VIII never abdicated, Elizabeth basically would not have had a chance. This allowed her to take the throne herself despite her father not even being the eldest of his own siblings. The main reason Victoria got the throne is because she didn’t have any brothers to cut in front of her, her biological father died during her infancy, his siblings were already getting old, and they mostly had no legitimate children of their own. The only legitimate cousin who was in line in front of Victoria, Princess Charlotte, died young, and the king and Victoria’s uncles all died earlier in her life, so this is what allowed teenage Victoria to take the throne despite having started out with so many people in front of her in the line of succession. If Charlotte didn’t die, she herself would have become regnant queen, so we still would have had a regnant queen either way whether it was Charlotte or Victoria.
But the point is, up until recently, if you were born a girl, you needed a shit ton of luck to ever make it to the throne. Now that Queen Elizabeth II is dead, chances are we won’t live long enough to see another regnant queen of England. Only ways that would be possible are if King Charles III, Prince William, and his young son Prince George all die before George is old enough to have any of his own children, or if they all abdicate, or a combination of the two. In either of those cases, George’s sister Princess Charlotte would be regnant queen. Since William had his children after the gender priority rule was abolished, Charlotte did not get cut in line by her younger brother Louis. But even then, knowing how young her father and older brother both are, chances are she will never live long enough to be queen.
Historically, pretty much (if not entirely) every regnant queen of England was not likely to become monarch at the time she was born. It was always easier to become consort queen instead, which relied on being married to a man who eventually became (or already was) king, which was also unlikely to achieve. Since the gender priority rule is gone now, once William dies, women will have an equal chance at the throne from then on. If George grows up to have children of his own and his eldest is a girl, that daughter would maintain her position as George’s successor whether she has younger brothers or not.
This is assuming England still has a monarchy in the next century, though. With increasing protests against kings and queens these days, for all we know, England could abolish the whole monarchy system altogether before they even get another regnant queen and the royal family would no longer have a purpose.
TL;DR Yes
Victoria wasn't unlikely to become monarch; in fact, her father was pressured into marrying and having her precisely BECAUSE his father George III had no legitimate grandkids. Let me just copy my own comment:
Yes, she was 5th in line, but behind whom? Her uncle George, the prince of Wales, having no legitimate children, his wife aged 51 and hating him; her other uncle Prince Frederick, having no children, his wife aged 53 and separated; her other uncle Prince William, having no legitimate children and his wife having had three miscarriages; and finally her father prince Edward, of whom she was the only legitimate child. It was perfectly clear that she was to become queen one day, and her father even went around telling his friends " to look at her well, for she would be Queen of the United Kingdom".

She couldn't walk up or down the stairs without holding someone's hand up until she was queen
Stairs were dangerous though, especially before building codes, ijs.
Wow, Princess Beatrice inherited her eyes. That's seriously strong DNA.
Two thoughts come to mind
1. Did God dispose of the others in line
2. Did Conroy and Princess Victoria’s mother dispose of the others in line to the throne?
Which do you think is more likely?!
The other people in line to the throne were older men with no legitimate children. More likely to be nature than murder.
Untimely death was more common back then. Disease was rife. Before antibiotics were invented a lot more young people died than today. Keeping Victoria so sheltered and lonely obviously saved her life, regardless of their original intent.
2. Is more likely out of these scenarios
Don't be ridiculous.
They didn't even need to be disposed of. They were all elderly men unlikely to have children. There's no great conspiracy here. The whole reason Victoria was born is that everyone knew all those old men would die and not leave heirs behind.
If therapy existed back then and writing autobiography was a thing... Her therapist wud have a field day & She would have sold a million copies in the first week back then 💀💀
Isn't that the plot of frozen but without magic?
yes
That’s what I was thinking!
Oh no it's much worse, but more empowering, they didn't even give Victoria access to a doctor when fatally ill until she signed something
And Tangled?
Andrew and Fergie's daughter, Princess Beatrice, looks so much like Queen Victoria.

Being a part of the royal family sounds awful and people view them like they're the perfect family and that's why they're pressured to uphold their perfect royal family image, even it's pointless in today's time.
I like what Harry did, he took his wife and kids and left to live a normal life..I'll bet you his children will be the happiest children in the royal family..
Ha!You wish...with a narcissistic and manipulative wife, he and his children are probably miserable
I doubt it. He is keeping all the titles, and his wife is constantly trying to milk the Royal connection she got with marrying Harry. Meaning, the children are going to go through all this nonsense, but don't even have the Royal connections to scare their future therapists from going to the press.
It would have been different if he had cleanly removed himself from the Royal Family, like Elizabeth II's uncle (dude wanted to marry whoever he wanted, gave up the throne and all titles, and did just that.)
He could have done what Princess Anna, his aunt, is doing: She has her title and does her work representing the family. But she chose not to give titles to her children, meaning they have been allowed to have a normal life without scrutiny.
Harry is trying to both exploit the Royal connections, yet have none of the responsibilities. Acting like a spoiled kid, instead of a father who wants best for his children: Every other persons in his positions have simply given up the titles and responsibilities with them, and lived normal (Though very wealthy) lives. Or done like his aunt did.
Yeah but the insane people who worship the royal family would believe otherwise lol
I was with you on that first paragraph, but the 2nd one was written before Spare came out 🤣
She also sent away her mother when she was crowned queen
Maybe one reason so many in line died and so many royal members die is from the terrible inbreeding
Or they got killed off
Inbreeding is only severe if it's immediate family.

So that's why she hated being a mother, so they say.

Bro the queens reign ended when she died. SMH I didn’t know that! 🤯🤯🤯
I think her mother was just being paranoid of the RF dying at the early age plus she wanted to ready her daughter to be a rightful next to the throne. But she literally forgot that she could've enjoy her childhood.
Sounds more to me like a bad case of malignant narcissism from the mother.
How was she readying her daughter for the throne when she wouldn't even let her become an adult?
Beatrice really does resemble Queen Victoria.
This explains why the queen didn't know how to mother her own children. Smh!!All the drama in the royal history. Sheesh! Thought the commoners had issues.
“All her family members started passing suddenly” you know 5 year old Victoria had to be pulling strings
No wonder the family is so screwed up
Somehow i want Princess Charlotte to become Queen of England one day.. She’s like a reincarnation of late Queen Elizabeth.
How is she a reincarnation? She was alive 7 years before the queen passed away….?
You’re literally wishing death on George
Just no. You know exactly what has to happen in order for her to be moved up. Don’t speak such horrid things.
@@mariem8705 well can the first in line refuse the throne?
@@takemyhand1988 yes they can refuse to reign, happened before, but it is not very much appreciated and speaks volumes about one’s determination and respect to the country and their people. Queen Elizabeth literally gave and pledged her life to her people as was expected of her and anyone who takes the Thorne.
Therefore refusing this honour is very much looked down and frown upon.
We can’t just blame her mother for all of that, John conroy was her late fathers friend from the army and took Victoire under his wing when her husband died, she really relied on him because she was quite a lonely woman and he abused his power over her and her daughter
To say that Victoria was never intended to inherit is misinformation. Victoria was literally born to inherit the throne. George IV's only legitimate daughter, Charlotte, died in childbirth, which started a race for all the princes (who were already getting on in age) in line for the throne to produce an heir. Prince Edward and Victoria of Sax-Coburg-Saalfeld produced Victoria, and that was literally the main goal.
Victoria’s father was already considering getting married even before Princess Charlotte (the only legitimate child of George IV) died.

I love that show too!
Victory is who our falls is named after
Thank you now I see who is the QEW
Alexandrina is a lovely name
Victoria was born to be the heir. After the death of her cousin, Charlotte, there was no heir so all her royal relatives scrambled to breed one. Victoria was the daughter of the 3rd in line making her the new heir. Her uncle, who became king William IV, had children but none survived childhood. Everyone knew that Victoria would be queen one day, it was the inevitable.
This is genuinely best video for revision of this chapter. 6 ghanto mein bohot acche se revise kar diya sir ne. ❤❤
She sort of was destined to inherit the throne as none of her fathers elder brothers legitimate children that made it to adulthood (excerpt for George VI had princess Charlotte of Wales who married Leopold I if Belgium but she died in childbirth) after her death a succession crisis came and all George VI (at the time known as The Regent) younger brothers rushed to get married to produce the next heir to the throne, Fredrick, Duke of York died with no children in 1827 and his younger brother William succeeded George VI as William VI as he had no legitimate children upon his death with his Queen the throne went directly to his niece as Victorias father died when she was a baby and no brother showed up to take her spot in the line of succession. (William VI had a few children with his Queen Adelaide but none survived infancy) so by the time George VI was king and William far beyond child bearing age it was known that Victoria would inherit the throne
Precisely; I don't know where these goofballs getting their information! 👉🤡
What are you talking about? It was absolutely clear that she would be queen. Ahead of her in the line of succession were her three uncles, all in their 50s when George III died. The Duke of York died when Victoria was 8, so there were George IV and William IV. Barring a tragedy in her childhood, Victoria was set to be queen.
What better way to raise someone to be a leader to a country than by isolating them from when their own family
I’m all for helping your daughters to remain pure till marriage but dang this is beyond overkill. The queen mother needed to lighten up a lot.
Honestly the life of Victoria would make a great prequel series to The Crown.
William IV - who loved his niece - forced himself to stay alive until Victoria was 18 just to spite Victoria's mother.
As an Indian we need to learn about her for our grade 10 exams and her policies in india were umm.... Not good
I always thought that her mother was overbearing but she was the 11th to the throne of England at birth. This meant that supposedly ten of the would be English Monarchs would have to die of disease or injury within the first ten years of her life. She easily could have been killed herself either by disease or injury. Her mom already probably lost her other children either in childhood or birth. The previous three monarchs all died unexpectedly without any heirs to take the throne. This was a weak time for the English Monarchy. As a mom I would have been very overprotective of my surviving child. Monarchs are also human beings whatever they or you might otherwise suggest.
I smell murder.
She wasn't 11th in line at birth.

My grandpa was 1 of 17 children. Only 5 of them lived past the age of 5. And only 3 lived to adulthood. While it's very possible that the other family members met less than natural ends... It's also extremely common for the era for them to have passed from various illnesses.

Damn if this was a plot to get me to watch a longer video it's working 😭 this John Conroy character came outta nowhere

Beatrice is her mini me. Amazing ☺️
It was not a tradition. The Kensington system was only used once.
This was the worst biography of Queen Victoria. There was even suspicion that John Conroy was her father as he was explicitly close with her mother before and after her prince Edward's death. Also because of the sudden entrance of hemophilia in the descendants of her which literally destroyed the monarchies where her children were married into. She was literally conceived to be the future monarch! She didn't “accidentally” become Queen.
She was literally conceived for the sole reason to be the future monarch because even though George III had 15 kids, he only had one legitimate grandchild, Princess Charlotte, whom herself was forced by George iii to George iv to conceive or else he wouldn't pay off his debts. After the Princess and her stillborn son both died, the nobles bribed the princes to produce at least one legitimate grandchild who could continue the line. After multiple miscarriages and stillbirths from the princes, Princess Victoria was born to George iii's fourth son. She was conceived in Germany and as a child born in English soil is only considered a legitimate heir, her parents rushed through the rough sea where she was precisely born in Kensington Palace.
After her grandfather and his 4 sons passed, she finally became Queen at 18. After becoming Queen her first order was to remove her mother and her step father from her room
I don't understand why it's never considered wrong to be Oppressed by Family Members. Royalty or not.
It is...now, at least.
Her mother also was in great fear of Victoria's life. She was afraid that one of Victoria's uncles ( younger brothers of her father) would have Victoria assassinated, so that's partly why Victoria slept in her mother's bedchamber. John Conroy manipulated the Duchess of Kent into devising the Kensington System. He even tried to force Victoria to sign documents making him her private secretary after she became queen. She was 16 and very sick at the time. After she banished Conroy, and Victoria became a mother, Albert was able to negotiate a reconciliation between Victoria and her mother
Then she developed serious temperament issues
Conroy controlled Victoria and her mother.
All the people before her were elderly British uncles who died without legitimate issue. Her road to throne was always assured, barring her own death.
In defense of her mother... Victoria's father's family was known as drunken, debauched, gluttonous and certifiably insane. While I do not condone the Kensington system, her mother did have her daughter's best interest at heart AND as queen, Victoria reshaped the monarchy into a respectable establishment for the time whereas the Hanovers, the line she descended from, was pretty much on their way to the same fate as King Louis XVI and Czar Nicholas II. While it was a LONELY, sheltered, and perhaps abusive childhood, Victoria is remembered as the exemplar of British Royalty.
Its not later on in 1901. It should be Early in 1901 cuz she died January 22, 1901.
It was actually entirely expected that she would be Queen. Very few of her aunts and uncles had any legitimate children. Her cousin Charlotte was expected to become Queen but tragically died from childbirth complications at 21. When Charlotte died, all her uncles quickly married in a race to try and father the future monarch. By the time Victoria was born, her father's older brothers were seen as unlikely to have anymore children and then when her father died the following year it meant she wouldn't have any younger brothers to supplant her as heir.
She is Elizabeth’s and Philips great grandmother 😮
She was actually Elizabeth and Philip’s great-great-grandmother.
Did anyone else think of Aegon the unlikely?
It's 'Roman Holiday'
This whole thing just SCREAMS, reeks really, of child abuse😬 reminds me of Jennette McCurdy's Brook I'm glad my mom died. One can only surmise how the queen truly felt about her mother and her abhorrent and controlling Behavior
It's crazy how much Princess Beatrice looks like her
I wasn't alone till 13
Her mother was like that
