Question

The character sketch of queen Victoria

Answer 1

Victoria was born in Kensington Palace, the daughter of Prince Edward, who was fourth in line for the throne. Victoria herself was fifth in line for the throne at the time of her birth. In 1820 both her father and her grandfather died, placing her uncle George IV on the throne and putting her third in line behind her surviving uncles. Victoria was taught throughout her childhood by private tutors, and heavily isolated by her mother, the Duchess, and her mother's comptroller Sir John Conroy, who wished to keep Victoria weak and under her control. The Duchess was disgusted by the sexual impropriety running rampant in the royal family, and made efforts to ensure her daughter would never be tied in with similar scandals. It has been suggested this led to the development of the strict Victorian morality that would later characterize her rule.  
 
In 1827 the Duke of York died, and then three years later King George IV died, leaving the throne to King William IV and making Victoria heiress presumptive. This same year, and again several times throughout the first half of the 1830s, Victoria was taken by her mother on several tours throughout England and Wales, where she was greeted enthusiastically by the populace. William did not like the trips, and Victoria herself hated them as they made her ill. Her mother ignored her pleas to stop the tours, and forced the young girl to continue them. In 1835 she came down with a severe fever due to the constant travelling. Her mother and Conroy attempted to force the ill girl to appoint him her secretary or to her staff.  
 
In 1836, when Victoria was 17, her mother and maternal uncle, King Leopold I, contrived to introduce her to Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, her maternal cousin, in the hopes of marrying the two off. Though King William IV was opposed to the match, Victoria was very fond of Albert, even writing a letter to Leopold to thank him for introducing the pair. They did not become engaged at the time, but it was assumed that an engagement would take place soon.  

studying, to confront him about a supposed affair. In early December he was diagnosed with typhoid fever and, on December 14th, 1861, he died. Victoria was devastated, and blamed her son's indiscretion for Albert's death. She went into mourning, a state in which she would remain for the rest of her life. She began to wear only black, and retreated from public life, receiving the nickname "Widow of Windsor". While she continued to be involved in the running of the government, she did so from her residences, which brought about a great decline in support for the monarchy, along with a surge in support for republicanism. Her uncle Leopold convinced her to go out in public, but for the most part she remained in semi-seclusion. At this point she began to rely increasingly on a manservant named John Brown, who was later alleged to be her lover. In 1866 she attended the Opening of Parliament for the first time since Albert's death, and in 1867 supported the passage of the Reform Act, which extended the franchise to more working class men, but not to women, as she did not support giving women the vote.  
 
In 1868 Benjamin Disraeli became Prime Minister. A flatterer, Victoria was quite fond of Disraeli, though his first ministry lasted only a few months, to be replaced by William Gladstone, who Victoria disliked. In 1870 republican sentiment was again on the rise, fueled in large part by her continued absence from public life. In 1871, as the sentiment reached a fever pitch, Edward, Prince of Wales, contracted typhoid fever, the same disease that had killed his father ten years earlier. Though his condition looked grim, he survived, and the ensuing celebration quieted republican sentiment. During the celebration another attempt was made on her life, which only served to increase her returning popularity. In 1874 Disraeli returned to power, and in 1876 he pushed through an act, the Royal Titles Act 1876, which officially gave Victoria the title of Empress of India. Disraeli was defeated again in 1880, and replaced by Gladstone, who attempted to pass a bill for Irish home rule, which was defeated as Victoria had hoped.
