When I finished my research I realized that the way Victoria was portrayed in “The Young Victoria” was in many ways correct. She was a fiery young woman with a love and desire to serve her country. Victoria had a passionate love for her husband Albert with whom she fought and argued over responsibilities and authority. We see all this and then the credits start rolling. But the story doesn’t end there. Victoria’s life continued and she brought many children into the world who in turn married into other royal families across the globe and had children, making her the “Grandmother of Europe”. She also led Britain during troubling times, from rioting in India to the Crimean War. But even though she was a monarch and led a great empire, she was foremost a woman who outlived her husband and ended her life as a lonely widow.
