I've always liked Queen Victoria, for obvious reasons, but perhaps moreso than others might be aware of.
She had a life-long close relationship/bond with Queen Emma of Hawai'i, which is something that should be admired (hence time and context, if you know what I mean.) This relationship, a pen pal of sorts, was unlikely from the start, but the one major aspect/experience that connected the two: both lost loved ones that they were very close with. Queen Victoria lost Albert. Queen Emma lost her son, Albert Edward Kauikeaouli Leiopapa.
Queen Emma spent time at Windsor Castle with Queen Victoria and during their second meeting, the Queen wrote extensively in her diary, that same evening, about how she was so worried about Emma as well as detailing the meeting between her, Emma, the future Emperor Frederick III of Germany, and his wife the Princess Royal.
Clearly the relationship was an emotional bond and perhaps spiritual one as well. What some may not know is that Queen Victoria was the god-mother of Queen Emma's son and had a fondness towards Kamehameha IV.
