Why Young Queen Victoria Was So Adored | Royal Upstairs Downstairs | Absolute History

[@ashthecoolest1]

After her unpopular predecessors, Victoria’s life mission was quite literally to revive faith and support for the monarchy. She was carefully paraded about to get the people to love her

[@MrLoStBeAr]

I don't know if the British see food differently or something but that does not look very appetizing.

[@dawnharley9889]

No we don't see food differently I guess you forgot this is food from over a hundred years ago 🤦‍♀️

[@Jomajaba]

@@dawnharley9889 as an artist who has drawn food over time for commissions and has British family I can easily say old Brits food can look very nasty

[@danellis-jones1591]

@@dawnharley9889 The presenters did say it looked pretty and amazing. It's a valid point.

[@danellis-jones1591]

I think we have a love of our history, so I think it's more that than actually think the food us beautiful. I'm British and although the work involved is astonishing, it looks kinda gross. Aspic is blleerrghhh

[@l-200uv2]

The only difference between British food now and then is that it has somehow lost every bit of flavor or the years.

[@jannoble3123]

You didn't say why she was adored....

[@MariVictorius]

The headlines are always misleading....drives me nuts.

[@MichelleSK6]

Because royalty

[@Dsfgxfdd]

Because she was one of the best rulers that they ever had. She created a great cultural expansion, advances in industry, science and communications; and the building of railways and the London Underground. Before she became queen it was still believed that a woman could never rule as good as a man. But she proved them wrong by being one of the greatest leaders they’ve ever had.

[@riabeweeb1018]

Does anyone know how to delete a thought? When they said Victoria was into all the latest trends and music, my fatigued mind somehow thought they were talking about current trends and music... My brain imagined princess Victoria on tiktok doing WAP...

[@paulwolfley7785]

It must have gotten tiresome people raising such a fuss all the time. Kaiser Wilhelm I at night would have a couple friends around a card with a bottle. And being cheap he would mark the bottle with a razor to show how full it was in case someone decided to help themselves to a nip

I'd have done it anyway, see what happened.

[@stefhanieinsinga-ash2093]

I could binge watch this channel

[@OstblockLatina]

12:00 - no, I don't have to wonder whether those from upstairs appreciated what those from downstairs did for them. They were born and bred in a conviction that it was a god-given order for other people to serve them and never for a moment did they feel a slightest hint of gratitude for the work of the others that was done for them. If anything, they would probably look at your foie gras rings you labored on for hours through a magnifying glass, conclude they were not perfectly symmetrical and banished you to a workhouse.

[@carolking6355]

There are no words to describe the food. Exquisites isn’t enough. Not sure what cold broad beans would be like. Did they not shell them once cooked?

[@sethk5396]

That food looks genuinely foul.

[@pacificalilac8637]

Queen Victoria was a interesting person

[@danellis-jones1591]

I love that in her early days she was a total horn bag! The exact opposite to how Victorian Britain is viewed

[@Shk.x19]

I love history

[@TXP2P69]

All this wasted wealth, while the truly poor were basically enslaved in the English Workhouse.

[@Dionathene]

Awesome video btw

[@detectivewiggles]

I think Mr. Pink Egg Man should be screened for color blindness!

[@MsKittyGirl2010]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@OstblockLatina]

I sure do hope that image at 8:53 is purely fictional, because if it isn't it means that somebody stole a bird's nest with newly hatched chicks for a child's pleasure and sentenced several young innocent animal lives to untimely death to satisfy someone's whim. Thanks to multiple livestreams from bird box cameras I witnessed the amount of time, work and hardships birds have to go through to build their nests, lay and brood their eggs and feed their young before the new generation is ready to begin their lives in the wild. Very often losing some of them in the process because of attacks of different predators, weather and temperature irregularities, infectious animal diseases and food shortages, or just completely unexpected and random accidents, and it makes me furious to think sb would forfeit all that with such a thoughtless, cruel and egoistic deed.

[@honeybee2812]

[@minagica]

Omg I can't pay attention. I think that's cuz I have both a mild headache and earache... Good thing I have a doctor's appointment in a bit over 48 hours 😂

[@suzettecalleja3122]

Oh my, the singers dress was , how should I put it, she looked stuffed.

[@OstblockLatina]

Honestly tho, if I was a queen visiting this place, I'd order to have servants hold screens around my head whenever I'd be walking through that entrance hall because the tasteless motley of textures, patterns and colors "adorning" it is literally painfull to look at. ALSO OMG the Victoria's supposed bedroom - it should have a notice hanging on its door prohibiting people suffering from epilepsia from entering it because the chaos of patterns and colors put all over it is sure to trigger a seizure. It reminds me of that hotel the guys from "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" were staying in. *"TACKARAMA"*

[@alienbeef-gravy493]

I agree about the entrance hall, it had to have been designed by a blind man or woman, it looks like it has feces rubbed all over it.

[@TheDilovely]

Lolol it's very busy. I guess that was the taste back then.

[@alienbeef-gravy493]

I wonder who reads the comments

[@ES11777]

Queen Victoria looks pretty when she was young in those drawings, but when she was old in her pictures she went downhill lol. She did NOT age gracefully
