The main content of Queen Victoria

"First, I can be replaced, you can't." "Second, you are and will always be my only wife. You are the meaning of my existence, and I love you until death do us part. " After waking up, Albert replied weakly to his wife.

"No, no, no, you are irreplaceable to me." Sobbing Victoria leaned over and pressed her wet cheek tightly against Albert's chest.

After the young Victoria succeeded to the British throne, her stubbornness and impatience aroused some people's disgust. One day, shortly after leaving Buckingham Palace with her husband Albert in a carriage, a bullet suddenly flew from the dark. If Albert was not witty, alert and brave, and tried his best to block the flying bullets with his body, Queen Victoria would be in born to die. Albert fainted on the spot. To this end, Victoria was surprised and moved by her husband's actions. However, this couple is facing not only a family, but also a powerful empire.

They were all born in 18 19, only three months apart, and they are cousins of close relatives. Victoria's father, Duke of Kent, the fourth son of King George III of England, died when she was eight months old. Her three uncles George IV, Duke of York and William IV had no legal heirs, so she succeeded to the throne after William IV's death. Albert is the youngest son of the Duke of Saxony Coburg Gotha in Germany. King Leopold I of Belgium is their uncle. Leopold and Victoria's mother are brother and sister. They planned the marriage of two little people early. Albert never imagined his marriage. At first, young Victoria resisted and didn't want to give up the right to make her own decisions for life. Their marriage eventually became an unparalleled love legend in the history of British royal family, but this legend is not as perfect as the prince and princess in fairy tales. 17 years old, met for the first time, but each left a different impression. At that time, Victoria was still a princess tightly controlled by her mother. She comes from the Hanover family, which is famous for its uneducated and quarrelsome style, and has inherited her family's stubbornness and impatience. She is independent, but she has no formal education. Albert is a model of virtue, wisdom and self-discipline, which is completely opposite to his father, Duke of Coburg, and his younger brother Ernest. He is very clever. As an ideal prince, he received a good education in language, culture, philosophy, music and other aspects. Albert, 17 years old, conceited. Although he knew that he had been engaged to Victoria since he was a child, he was indifferent to her and even looked down on her. Victoria thinks Albert is kind, cute, smart and handsome.

Three years later, the two met again. At this time, Victoria is the Queen of England. In this arranged marriage, the queen needs to give birth to an heir, and Albert reluctantly finds himself the husband who will make this goal come true. Victoria thinks that an outsider will dominate, disobey and oppose her. How terrible it is! She loves him, but she also loves power. One thing is certain, she may be his wife, but she will always be the king of England. When he reappeared in front of her eyes in a beautiful uniform, her hesitation disappeared like a mist in the sun. Because of their great disparity in status and status, it is unnecessary to propose marriage. Before they were about to enter the marriage hall, He, who was sensitive by nature, fell into the most serious depression in his life.

February 1840, they got married. A brand-new and unimaginable world opened before her eyes-how nice he was! Great! How could she think of putting her wishes above his wisdom, overwhelming his knowledge with her arrogance and opposing his taste with her hobbies? He is not as happy as her. He said in his love letter, "I believe that God sent an angel to light up my life", but he never loved her as much as she loved him, and his life was far from satisfactory. There are few queens in British history, and the royal family has never prepared a suitable position for the husband of the ruling queen. Albert has no official position, no special title and no definite position. Victoria's subjects always regard him as an outsider who stole their queen. Although Victoria regards him as a model of handsome men, her subjects don't think so. For them-especially those upper-class men and women who often see him-his non-English looks are really terrible. He is naturally shy, dislikes being close to others and pursues perfection, so his manners and attitudes are extremely stiff and bound by etiquette. He has no praise for Britain. The weather here is really terrible. Her family is really uneducated. These people only know hunting and Sunday worship ... he really has nothing in common with these people. He is destined to be in a position of no power. Like a little girl who is a groupie, she followed him closely, looked at him adoringly and shouted "Dear Albert". But she doesn't intend to involve him in state affairs. He helped her put a square piece of paper on the signature of the document when it was closest to the state affairs. He is not without ambition. He came here not to make himself happy, but to do better. British national affairs, which embody aristocratic spirit and constitutional monarchy everywhere, are indeed taboo against foreign interference, and their families also have obstacles. In order to maintain the relationship between husband and wife, Victoria did not hesitate to pay a pension to Le Zhen, an old tutor who accompanied her for many years, and sent her back to Germany. Because many unpleasant problems Albert encountered in England originated from the bad influence Lezhen exerted on the young queen, and the terrible Lezhen never reduced Victoria's love for Albert. Usually when Victoria is depressed after giving birth to a baby, the two will quarrel over some trivial and boring things. She lost her temper and scolded him, while he went to do his own research. She will catch up and still argue and complain. Then, her attitude will turn 180 degrees again, drowning him with apologies and promises. He will forgive her and make up. Lezhen's departure liberated Albert and enabled him to participate in her life and state affairs. He tried to overcome difficulties and exerted a very beneficial influence on Britain and his wife. Albert can easily understand and explain the difficult documents in Victoria. When she was impatient, he wrote letters to ministers in her name and issued memos, comments or suggestions on state affairs. He is the Queen's private secretary, secret adviser and her body double. He often attends her meetings with ministers, and his influence is beyond doubt. As Victoria showed more and more absolute obedience to his intelligence, he became more and more deeply involved in mechanized political affairs, and a huge empire was endlessly involved in various affairs. Albert finally had an extremely important influence on Britain, which was, is and will never be compared with other members of the royal family. Almost single-handedly, he reformed the royal family's participation in foreign and domestic affairs and activities in science, art and industry, created a brand-new image for the royal family, brought them to the public, and established an image of a leader who was very concerned about the well-being of his subjects. He visited those poor families and appealed for the unemployed. Under his influence, Victoria began to know that too many people outside her palace were facing the threat of insecurity, poverty, infectious diseases and premature death, which required the royal family's concern. He initiated the first World Expo-Expo1851London, which showed the miracle of the industrial revolution to the public and effectively enhanced Britain's international reputation. Not everyone welcomed Albert into the political circle, but with his help, ministers and other authorities did expand the scope of the government's attention out of moral rather than political or personal interests. This achievement depends on the queen's willingness to obey her husband, and Victoria can't cooperate. After 1842, she worshipped her husband without principle, and this excessive love sometimes made him unable to cope. Albert lacks self-confidence and is unwilling to show off, which is completely contrary to Victoria's emotional and moody personality. The duties of the king of England are now performed by an outsider, a real uncrowned king. As a husband, he will naturally have an influence on her, but this does not reduce the strange feeling from the outside world. This man helped form the surprisingly high moral standards of Victorian Britain. He is not British at all, and the British don't want to forget this. This kind of "supreme foreigner" is often the object of ridicule by British high-level society and the scapegoat in the national political crisis. He disturbed the ancient, subtle and well-controlled balance of the British Magna Carta, which Bert did not expect when he cautiously started his political career. He is in a state of detachment.

Victoria worships him. At home, his words are the law. The Queen teaches her nine children, and their father is their role model and the only one. Some children are disobedient, especially Edward VII, a complete prodigal son. Victoria will blame their dishonest father, not sympathize with them. 1857, she broke the precedent and gave him the title of "Wang Fu". This blind obedience made her suffer a great blow when Albert died young at the age of 42. Her sadness, like her love and worship, is extremely excessive and selfish. As a queen, in the19th century, it was not common for her to wear mourning all her life. She doesn't even want to live. She's ready to die. Albert used to live in the same room as when he left. Since then, laughter and entertainment have been forbidden in the palace. Shortly before his death, 20-year-old Prince Edward, her heir, had an affair. The news made Albert very miserable, and he died of typhoid fever a few weeks later. But Victoria blamed Edward for killing his father, never really forgave him, and never allowed him to perform his duties. She lives in seclusion, neglecting her duties as a queen or even a mother. She did not appear in public for a long time, which greatly damaged her prestige, so that there were many calls from the people for restructuring into * * * and the state. She regarded him as a saint, a supernatural spirit unworthy of this world, so she left prematurely. The biography she wrote for him is simply a biography of a saint, calling him "kind Albert" as if he were an angel. After 40 years of widowhood, Victoria died in 190 1 and was buried beside Albert. In front of the mausoleum stands a statue made by 1862-Albert looks up as if looking up at the sky above; And she looked at him, all her love, piety and sadness were solidified in the stone. This statue represents everything between him and her.
