Queen Victoria: History & Facial Reconstructions Revealed | Royalty Now

Queen Victoria and her consort Albert have one of the most fascinating stories in English history. Victoria came to the throne at only 18, after a sheltered childhood. The handsome Albert of Saxe Coburg was an instant attraction for Victoria, who admired his kindness and intellect. With Victoria’s power and Albert’s cunning, the two created a more technologically advanced England. Sadly, Albert died at the young age of 42, leaving Victoria with 9 children and deep in mourning. England, growing to the height of its size, still flourished despite a withdrawn Queen. Today, we’ll revisit the tragic love story, and of course talk about what Victoria and Albert really looked like, along with re-creations of them young, before photography.

I cannot imagine outliving the love of your life for around 40 years. It’s beyond painful.

[@ShirleeKnott]

hope you never have to know how awful it is.

[@sweethistortea]

I can't imagine how heartbreaking it is. That's why I always felt bad for Victoria: she didn't have anyone close to her growing up, her mother and John Conroy were cruel and abusive, and then she falls head over heels for Albert, only for him to die in a tragic illness. Now modern medicine could probably save Albert. I have a book that mentions one of her jubilees, and she writes how she's "all alone" without Albert. :

[@gardengirl7446]

She was fortunate to have John Brown and later Kareem her Indian friend and servant ❤

[@mchapman132]

My mom outlived my dad by 32 years. She told me once the memory of his voice was fading away. Sad.

[@lipingrahman6648]

We should I think not forget about John Brown. It is reported that they would walk hand in hand. Exchange valentine with each other’s pictures in them. Brown gave the queen his mother’s wedding ring. And Victorias personnel chaplain said on his deathbed that he secretly married them off.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

It’s interesting how they are one of the first historical figures to transition from portraits to early photography.

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

I think it's really fascinating! It's rare to get the portrait painting / photography crossover.

[@noraxo4654]

This also applies to Queen Elizabeth (Sisi) of the Austro-Hungarian empire!

[@gardengirl7446]

Albert was really into photography! He was a photographer himself!

[@sweetestaphrodite]

It’s also interesting to think what an influence her long reign had, so much so that I find similarities between her and Queen Elizabeth the first and second. 3 long-lasting, influential and powerful queens. (I know it’s slightly off topic but it was a sudden epiphany)

Prince Albert sounds like such an amazing person overall

[@monmothma3358]

He seems to have done a lot of good for Britain, from what I can understand. The country was lucky for someone so progress-minded to gain power, even though the reason was his royal status and falling in love with the Queen Regnant.

There was one book I read, when she and Albert had a bad falling out, Albert shut himself into his room, Victoria knocked on the door, he said " Who is it ?" Victoria said " The Queen of England let me in " Albert didn't. She went away and came back, knocked again. She said " Albert it's your little wife ." Albert then quickly answered the door and took her into his arms.

[@Liza33650]

that's adorable

[@mlj6293]

[@PrinceAlhorian]

They absolutely adored each other. She mourned for life after his passing.

[@victoriadiesattheend.8478]

I read this also. She could be very "imperial" when angry even though she was very petite in height. When she finally went into the room after saying "its your little wife", they made up and he showed her what he had been doing while she was outside of the door pacing and banging and crying, he had been sketching the scene outside of one of the windows. "I was going to give it to you," Albert said, "as a memento of the day you locked me in my sitting room." Lol

[@sylviaroberts8103]

Unfortunately there can be no truth in that. Why would she refer to herself as “Queen of England” when there is no such title? She was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India. The last Queen of England was Queen Anne about 300 years ago.

[@katyggls]

Everything I've ever read about Prince Albert has convinced me that he was a very good man. Of course, Queen Victoria must have loved him very much. I've heard that quote from her diary after their wedding night before and it's always struck me how she wrote that she had never even hoped to feel as much love and affection as he showed her. It's both a sad clue to how deprived of love her childhood had been, but also a clue to just how wonderful Albert must have been. It was 1840 after all, and one can't help but think that perhaps not every new bride felt as positively about the wedding night after it took place. The reigning sexism and misogyny of the time, the lack of sex education, and especially among the royal and aristocratic classes, the push to marry who was "suitable", rather than the choice of your heart, probably affected many marriages negatively. They were fortunate that they were able to form such a partnership that was both suitable as far as society was concerned but also based on real love and affection.

[@tianna1116]

Yes, Victoria and Albert had what is called a love match. I agree he was likely an unusually good man, even by todays standard

[@cleocatra9324]

I also read that she overate and was obsessed with food because as a child her mother restricted her eating. So yeah that backfired…

[@MalloryNewcomb]

Yes that makes sense as to why she fell so hard for him and loved him so much. Thankful she had a good man after such a difficult childhood! Sounds like she got the kind of man she needed 😊

I can see why she fell for Albert so quickly. 😍 She famously hated pregnancy, childbirth, and babies, but she loved the process of creating those babies, hence the 9 children. 🤣

[@landsea7332]

She had 9 children in less than 20 years . Apparently , she spent about 10 of those years suffering from post partum depression . Albert was shocked at the living conditions in London , and was a real driving force for social improvement in Britain

[@anainesgarciaarango3420]

According to Lady C, the attractive "traits" of his family also inherited by the men in their legacy were very powerful. Also, she was a very sensuous woman, but above all, Albert knew that while she was pregnant and delivering a baby and recovering from the process, he handled royal affairs. He, as the Consort of the Queen was one of her Counsellors of State. He loved it. He did her job and loved it. A very progressive man.

[@MashaRistova]

I have read every biography of Queen Victoria and she is one of my favorite historical characters. The pictures of Albert and Victoria celebrating Christmas did much to influence how it is celebrated today, especially in using the Christmas tree. Albert was a man ahead of his time, and I can't help but wonder if he had lived longer he might have influenced the course of European history and maybe prevented World War I. His quiet diplomacy may have been the cause of keeping England out of the American Civil War. Look up the Trent Affair for more information.

As an historian who focuses on European Royalty I need to mention Victoria wasn't Queen of England but the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. England and Scotland were joined together in 1707 with the Act of Union creating the Kingdom of Great Britain. In 1801 Ireland, which had been a separate kingdom since the reign of Henry VIII, was formally joined to Great Britain and the name of the kingdom became the Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the monarchs title reflected these changes.

The one thing I've noticed about a lot of the depictions of famous persons is that there must have been an fair/a lot of editorializing over their physical features. The recent passing of ER2 has revealed an enormous amount of content in the form of film and photos. At the young age she became queen, Elizabeth was strikingly beautiful. Glamour came easily to her, and she served as an enticing palette for the royal image makers.

[@moodylittleowl]

victoria's ability to love people mostly when they're dead was surprising. there are records of her abusing her children and constantly nagging and arguing with her husband (in one documented instance she followed him from room to room shouting as he was trying to get away from her) and hated her mother's guts...but when both her husband and mother died, they were her beloved people...

I unfortunately agree with this, I’ve read so many nasty things about Victoria. I do genuinely believe Albert was holding everything together.

[@tilseptember]

She was definitely a toxic character but if you’ve also read about the way Conroy bullied her, you realize that she had severe mental health issues. Albert’s letters home and her own words about her moods also strongly suggest a mental health issue possibly linked to postpartum depression. Mostly I think she has narcissistic personality disorder

Thank you for this video! I had an awful panic attack today, one of my worst in the last few years, and this video helped calm me down. Nothing calms me down, so I'm very grateful for you❤

[@jorijoestar4998]

Not only is your voice beautiful, but so is your pacing.

I always think of Queen Victoria when I see princess Beatrice. They look so alike!

[@marybaker8582]

These are my favorites of your work so far.

Watching this was beautiful and listening to the history of Queen Victoria and her beloved Prince/King Albert is intriguing. But I did notice that when you did the first Queen Victoria to make her look more realistic she's prettier in your version then the portrait. And the modernized version of Queen Victoria blew me away because of the strong resemblance in Queen Elizabeth's granddaughters to that modernized portrait you did of Queen Victoria. At this moment May Queen Elizabeth rest in peace whom she broke Queen Victoria's record on the throne Queen Elizabeth was Queen for 70 years. Awesome beautiful pics.

Thank you. Your work is wonderful. I was thinking…The painted portraits where they are in their formal Queen and King apparel are going to be much different than the black and white grainy photos where they are more dressed casually. Either way, they were a stunning couple. Their history is fascinating. Its so sad Prince Alberts life ended so premature.

This was fascinating! Thank you so much.

Stumbled upon your channel after finishing the first book of the Wolf Hall trilogy and WOW! You're doing amazing work! Not just the reconstructions, but your balanced, intelligent, empathetic and well-researched views on historical figures are just a gem. This is especially important for the women, which history is not necessarily fair to, precisely their legacy may be been smeared by those with hostile intentions (as you'd mentioned in Anne Boleyn's video). Learning so much from your channel. An easy subscription and you deserve all the success in the world

I lost the very soul of my life at 32 with many small children to raise solo. The late, Her Majesty the Queen has been my daily companion and heart felt inspiration to go forward in my life. The beloved Queen has been someone I could relate with and look towards for my inspiration. I’m an old lady now, I still miss my beloved as if it were today. He went on his journey over 40 years ago. God Save the King God Save King Charles III God keep us stronger God help those that are struggling People help others Humanity is good

Hi I love your videos. I'm from Portsmouth, England where Admiral Lord Nelson died. I would love to see you do a video on him, his story is incredible. I hope you see this and fingers crossed you do one. Thank you so much xx

[@vantedante3638]

You did my favorite royal couple thank you for another amazing video! ❤️

[@patriciabaughn4749]

As usual an interesting re telling of history and beautiful portrait interpretations.

[@fabulouschild2005]

We all know what Victoria looked like as an older woman, as a result of photography. To see her as a younger woman is simply fascinating

I've been watching Royalty Now for a while. Mesmerized and fully absorbed by the magic and artistry of, not only the visual but the narrative, as well, I quickly became a fan and subscriber. It was this particular video that made me mindful of how lucky I am to be living my latter years in a time where historical figures, especially those so deeply in love, and depicted in monochromatic images with sullen and stoic expressions, come to life in brilliant color, textures and the majesty they so richly deserve. To see expressions of love and happiness is profound. Giving them life again is almost godlike. The simple words "thank you" are inadequate.

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

Wow, this comment warmed my heart. I’m so glad that you find the videos and recreations intriguing, we have the best time making them. You are so kind, thank you so much ❤️

[@kimbunchalastnames5357]

their story is fascinating, and you told it so well. i learned several things from it, so ... thank you!

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

Thank you!

[@Leezl41]

They were 1st cousins and look so much alike. Thank you for coaxing new life into history. Your work helps the information stick in my memory.
