Queen Victoria described the day in her journal:
“A fine warm day. The public celebration of my birthday today, therefore, at a little before 10, Albert started with all his Gentlemen for the Parade. It was the first time, (as were absent the last year) without the good old Duke & Ld Anglesey & Ld Londonderry were also absent & gathered to their Fathers. Ld Hardinge & his Staff & Ld Seaton met Albert & rode off with him. I & the girls witnessed the departure from the balcony. The Boys had gone with Col: Biddulph to the Horse Gds to see the Parade. — We walked in the garden, & then saw the return from the window. — We lunched early with Vicky, who, like me had had her hair dressed, as she was to go to the Drawingroom. I had the Koh-I-Noor in my diadem. WE started shortly before 2, for St. James’s, Vicky going in the carriage with us. She looked extremely well in a white silk dress, with flounces of Irish Guipure lace, & the bodice trimmed bouquets of roses & lily of the valley, the same in her hair. She behaved very nicely & stood between her Father & Grandmother (who remained only a short time) Aunt Cambridge & Mary were also there. Before the Drawingroom we received the Archbishops & Bishops, to whom I returned the annexed answer, which I had learnt by heart. The Drawingroom was very full & lasted till ½ p. 3. — Drove out later with Vicky, dear little Arthur, & Flora Mc D. — We dined alone & went to the French Play where we saw 2 little pieces “la Pensionnaire Mariée” in which M. Ferville & Mlle Luther acted extremely well, & “L’Héritiere” in which the former & Brindeau acted very well. The streets were brilliantly illuminated.”

“Sweet Baby’s 8th birthday. How delighted dearest Albert would have been with her. May God bless & ever protect this treasure. She came in to me early, looking such a duck in her little dressing gown. She remained ½ an hour with me, sitting on my bed. Gave her her presents in my sitting room, & she was much pleased with all her things. At 10 went to the Chapel & received the Holy Communion with our eldest Children, &c. — Afterwards took a short walk in the rain with Lenchen. — Went to see dear Uncle, who is much the same I grieve to say. He was most kind & affectionate. — After luncheon went to him again & thanked him for the most splendid presents he has given our 3 girls. He seemed more cheerful & liked to see the Children. — The rain seeming less, went down below the Terrace, where all the Children were, & Affie let off balloons. — After this walked a little with Lenchen & drove to the Mausoleum. — Leopold, the Wellesleys & Katharine B. dined, Baby appearing, & looking so sweet. But it always gives me a pang, & to think how proud her dear father was of her. —“

Upon entering the Hall at Kensington Palace, the young and isolated princess found herself mesmerised by the two attractive princes that stood before her. However, it was Prince Albert that immediately captured the Princess’s attention ad she went on to describe him as “extremely handsome”. She goes on to add that “his hair is about the same colour as mine; his eyes are large and blue, & he had a most beautiful nose, & a very sweet mouth with fine teeth”.
Throughout their visit the brothers feature heavily in Victoria’s journal and she often writes of going on walks and playing the piano, particularly with Albert. Despite this, when the brothers returned to Germany on 10th June, Victoria makes it clear that she still only sees “Dear Albert” as nothing more than a cousin and friend.
The following June Victoria’s life changed forever when she succeeded her uncle, King William IV, as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. While Albert had no experience of ruling a country, Victoria still often turned to him for advice. However, over the next few years she made it clear that she had no intentions of marrying.
This changed when the two brothers returned to England in October 1839. On the 15th October, Victoria experienced the “happiest brightest moment” of her life when Albert accepted her proposal of marriage. The two got married just four months later on 10th February. Together, Victoria and Albert had a total of nine children and while their relationship was turbulent at times, its tragic and premature end had made Victoria and Albert one of history’s most iconic couples!

The grand ceremony included the placement of an oblong casket time capsule, which contained; a copy of the Duke of Devonshire’s address to Queen Victoria; where he spoke about the history of the museum; and also a set of coins supplied by the Royal Mint.
Although visitors today can see the foundation stone next to the main entrance, it isn’t in the place Queen Victoria laid it. This is because the laying of the foundation didn’t begin until the following year. It’s likely that they chose to lay it in 1899 to coincide with the Queens 80th birthday.
Queen Victoria described the event in her journal:
“[…] — At ½ p. 4 started in the open landau at 4, the postillions in Ascot Livery, with Lenchen, Beatrice & Arthur, the rest of the family following, as well as the suite. I had a Sovereign’s Escort. Went up Constitution Hill, down Knightsbridge & Brompton Road to South Kensington, to the site of the new Victoria & Albert Museum. Immense & enthusiastic crowds everywhere, reminding me of the Jubilee. On arriving I entered a Pavilion, which was very handsome & full of people. Bertie & the rest of the family were on the Dais as well as Ministers, Ambassadors & many Notables. Two verses of “God save the Queen” were sung, as also an Ode, words by the Poet Laureate, & music by McKenzie. Before the latter, the Duke of Devonshire, as Ld President, read an address. I handed my answer & said “It gives me great pleasure to lay the foundation stone of this fine Museum which is to bear the name of my dear Husband & myself”. I then laid the stone, Bertie helping me to spread the Mortar &C, & struck the stone 3 times with mallet, after which Bertie in loud voice said he was commanded by me to declare the stone well & truly laid. A bouquet was presented by one of the students of the Royal College of Music. The ceremony concluded with the Archbishop of Canterbury offering up a prayer & giving the blessing. I drove off amidst a flourish of trumpets, “God save the Queen” & loud cheers.”
Soon after the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, King Edward VII commissioned Sir Thomas Brock to design and sculpt a memorial to the late Queen; with Sir Aston Webb also being placed in charge to redesign the area surrounding the monument.
Due to it’s large scale, the project took ten years to complete and wasn’t ready until after the death of the king.
In the image above, Sydney Prior Hall has depicted the unveiling of the statue, which took place on 16th May 1911.
King George V and German Emperor, Wilhelm II, can be seen saluting in the centre. Their wives, Queen Mary and the German Empress stand at the base of the statue with the rest of the royal party.
Over the years, the memorial has become an iconic symbol of the British Royal Family and of the United Kingdom as a whole and will hopefully continue to do so for many years to come.
The painting can currently be seen on display in the ‘The Edwardians: Age of Elegance’ exhibition at the King’s Gallery, Edinburgh, which I highly recommend visiting!
This famous photograph of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert from May 1854 is often described as showing the couple in their wedding costumes from fourteen years earlier. However, the history of this photograph and the dress itself have been well documented not only by a colourised version of the image from the same time period but throughout other temporary sources, which all show that she was in fact wearing court dress.
In her journal dated 11th May 1854, Queen Victoria notes that she and Albert had taken their luncheon early so they could dress in preparation for a Drawing Room, which was to take place at St James’s Palace that afternoon. For anyone that is unfamiliar with the concept, a Drawing Room was a formal societal event, to which young ladies, usually aged around 17/18, would ‘come out’ in society by being presented to the Queen, signifying that they were now open to potential suitors. According to the Queen, the presentation on 11th May involved ‘many presentations but otherwise [was] not very full … On coming back [to Buckingham Palace I] was photographed by in my Court Dress, by Mr [Roger] Fenton, alone, & with Albert’. As the Queen had hoped, the photographs had been successful and two versions of the photograph of Victoria and Albert were produced, one of which was later hand coloured to show an accurate representation of their costumes.

Louise’s Godparents included three of her paternal aunts: Princess Alice, Princess, Helena, and Princess Louise. The other godparents included: Prince Friedrich of Prussia; Grand Duchess Augusta of Mecklenburg-Strelitz; Friedrich Wilhelm of Hesse-Kassel; Queen Louise of Denmark; King George I of Greece; Tsarina Maria Feodorovna of Russia; Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenqch; and Charles of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.
Growing up at Sandringham House in Norfolk, Princess Louise maintained a close relationship with her parents and four surviving siblings. ‘Toots’, as she was known by her family, and her two sisters received a minimal home education that mainly focused on music and art. Together, the three sisters were known for their shy and reserved personalities, which caused them to dislike being the centre of attention. Their confidence wasn’t helped by their overbearing mother, who insisted on keeping her daughters as children as long as she could. A shocking example of this was when Alexandra made Louise have a children’s party to celebrate her 19th birthday!
Alexandra was also possessive over her daughters and saw no reason for them to marry, instead wanting them to remain as her permanent companions. Luckily for Louise she was able to escape her mother’s grip on 27th July 1889, when she married her third cousin Alexander Duff, 6th Earl of Fife, in the Private Chapel at Buckingham Palace.

“Another intensely hot day. — We were out as usual. — Mama most kindly sent the Baby a string of pearls, to which was attached a locket with her hair, similar to what she gave Lenchen. — It was uncertain at one moment in the afternoon, whether Aunt Gloucester would come to the Christening or not, on account of not having been well, but eventually, as she wished it so much, she came. Those who were also present were the Queen Dowr & all her family, the Pce of Prussia, the Ct of Syracuse, Aunt Cambridge, her 2 nephews & Mary. I wore a silver mairé dress with my wedding lace wreath of acacia’s, with diamonds. The 4 Children came down with us into the Drawingroom, Bertie, in a light blue velvet jacket, embroidered with gold, Vicky & Alice in white English lace dresses & Affie in a white & silver blouse After waiting a while, the procession of the Sponsors was formed, consisting of the Queen, for the Dss of Meiningen, Aunt Cambridge, for Augusta, & Albert, for Gd Uncle Gustaf, followed by their attendants, & soon after, we began to move, the Pce of Prussia leading me, & having Alice by the hand, & I, holding Affie. Vicky & Bertie walked together behind me. We sat near the Altar. After the 1rst piece of music had been performed (Albert’s last Hymn, composed as a Christmas one) the Ld Chamberlain left, to fetch the child who was brought in by Mr Bray the nurse & Ly Lyttelton in attendance. I offered up my fervent prayers, that God would bless & protect through life, our dear little child. She looked very pretty, – so white plump. She cried a little at first, but behaved very well when the Archbishop took her in his arms & christened her. The Queen named her Louise, Caroline Alberta. Another piece of music by Mozart followed before the Blessing, & then we returned as we came, We went upstairs in procession, excepting Aunt Gloucester whom Aunt Cambridge took up another way, as she had been seized with giddiness & faintness, during the service.

While Albert only lived long enough to see two of them born, Queen Victoria met all of them, as well many of their 87 great-grandchildren!
As the children grew up, many of them married into European monarchies, which is how Queen Victoria earnt the nickname ‘Grandmother of Europe’.
