That is a Great Photo! Probably the best I have seen of Queen Victoria. When I ever Ii see Videos or photos of her it almost Brings her back to life in a life. She is the first British monarch to be Photograph or be Filmed and seen on video which is pretty cool.
Before her all the monarchs were portraits or paintings.

Hahahaha!!!  I just finished reading a book about Queen Victoria's life, and she seemed to have smiled much while her consort Albert was alive and then ceased when he died. Very sad. What was interesting that I learned was that she become somewhat of a "mother figure" to her deceased daughter Alice's children, which I found very touching. She really took them to heart emotionally following Alice's death at such a young age. Gave me a new insight into a most complicated monarch.

Definitely Albert Victor
When Queen Victoria's daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, became the mother of a first son. did Victoria definitely declare that the boy's name had to be Albert Victor?

 According to Wikipedia, he was named Albert Victor because it was amongst Queen Victoria's wishes. (Although he was nicknamed "Eddy".)

Quote:
A love letter highlighting the heartfelt passion between Queen Victoria and Prince Albert is to go on display for the first time.
In the document, written shortly before their marriage, the prince describes how the 20-year-old queen had stirred passions which burned so brightly they filled his “whole soul”.
The letter, which will be seen at an exhibition in Windsor Castle in the new year, is one of a series of love letters Albert wrote during their engagement, which are filled with poetic expressions of desire for his “deeply loved” fiancée.

Queen Victoria was the first reigning monarch to use trains. In 1842 she made her first train journey.

From the invention of the telephone to the bicycle and even the steam ship, the Victorian period saw a mini revolution in the field of science and technology.
But of all the new gadgets invented during her reign, it was the camera that delighted Queen Victoria the most.
By the time she died in 1901, the UK's first modern monarch had amassed a huge collection of more than 20,000 images that included everything from favourite landscapes to early war photography and touching snaps of pets, friends and children.

I find Queen Victoria the most interesting royal ever...but what a monstrous mother she was, overall. As soon as Albert died, she gave in to her innate selfishness and everything became about her...something Albert had warned her against not long before she did, telling her in a letter she would be better off if only she did not think so much about herself...and despite her immediate vow, when PA died, to only do as he would do, never go against his wishes...she proceeds to do exactly that, by hiding from her subjects for years on end and neglecting business. He would have been horrified.
But she was certainly the most interesting letter-writer, possibly ever. One can learn the entire history of the royal family in a nutshell by reading her letters to the Princess Royal, and later to granddaughter Victoria of Hesse.
If one learns motherly behavior from their own mother, evidently QV certainly took after her own mother with her domestic tyranny...
All JMO and I am a great fan of the British Royals...find them extremely interesting and am obsessed with books and documentaries on the subject.
