Queen Victoria's Children

Focusing on Victoria's relationship with her sons and how after Albert's death, they struggled to live up to his model of purity. We explore Victoria's difficult relationship with her eldest son Bertie, whom she blamed for Albert's death, believing his sexual indiscretions to have fatally weakened her husband. We also examine her relationship with her son Leopold, the physically weak but spirited haemophiliac.
