Victoria 2 How To Become A Monarchy

Part of the problem is that I have never found Victoria herself all that interesting and worthy of study.In THE CROWN we're not only dealing with the changing of the monarchy, the modern era, World War II, marital difficulties, but also one of the great Lions of history in Winston Churchill. Fascinating stuff.In VICTORIA we're dealing with a lot of fine clothing and pomposity and general cultural stodgniess. Not much else. Much as I love many of the actors, the story itself is bit too tea and crumpets.For me, that is a fascinating part of the story. Changes in society and how people adjust to it are reflected in even the small ways. The candles are a good example.

They reflect that technology has changed outside the bubble, but takes time to be accepted in places steeped in tradition.What most of all amazes me is Victoria herself. How many 19 year olds, even in their time, would have the maturity to become the head of state of an empire, and do it with such confidence?The young actress who plays her is amazing, mixing the maturity beyond her years and the confidence of youth. She also reflects the time of Victoria, not an interpretation of 'victorian' Britan.This kind of drama is a very tricky thing to bring to life, but this show does it well, and I love the way its not about big things, but daily events and small changes and how they redefine the world. I don't know. I feel like all the downstairs scheming (like the 'let's put rats in the cake!' ) wouldn't be put up with in an actual royal household.I get that.

I don't know how it would have gone, either way. I do know, from doing just a little research, that Victoria's nanny (the German woman) was really, really awful at household management, and had no idea what she was doing. In real life, Albert (Victoria's husband) eventually argued with Victoria about it, and Victoria ended up effectively firing the nanny (but giving her a good pension). So, even if it didn't happen (I don't know one way or the other), it could have been done just to show how little control and how little understanding of the household the nanny had.Also, while Victoria did have a lot of chutzpah in taking up her position at the age of 18, she really had not been groomed for it, and didn't really know much of what she was doing. Her entire childhood had been spent with her mother and Conway trying to force her to have total dependence on them (called the Kensington Method - that they created) - it obviously failed, as once she was the Queen she basically dismissed them, but even still, while her education was good in many ways, she was not educated in how to lead, how to make household decisions, or how to navigate royal society, etc. It's why she did things like making her nanny the head of the household, and why, in real life, she really did cling to Lord Melbourne and then later to her husband.Until 2015, she had held the monarchy the longest, but (again, just from the little reading I've done so far) it seems like she sort of stumbled through it much of the time.

Kamus bahasa inggris. Her popularity was often not very good, and there were a ton of assassination attempts on her. Rufus!!!Rufus had an incredibly good spy show on BBC a few years ago called Zen where he played the eponymous hero, Aurelio Zen. Very stylish show set in Italy, the was strangely cancelled after only 3 episodes. I do recommend it as a wonderful date night movie.Jenna Coleman and Rufus Sewell are about 18 years apart in age, and infinitely more attractive then the real Queen Victoria and Lord Melbourne, who were 40 years apart in real life.The relationship between Lord Melbourne and his wife was very tempestuous and stormy with both of them having multiple affairs. Although separated for the last three years of her life before her early death, Lord Melbourne was deeply moved by her loss and traveled a long distance to be at her side before she died. Their son did die in real life. But Lord Melbourne was accused of a number of sexual relationships that we might call extremely kinky today.

I think they made him overly melodramatic for the TV mini-series.But, as everyone knows, you can't upstage the main actor (Albert) with a secondary character. Lord Melbourne did live long enough to see Victoria and Albert have 5 of their 9 children.A little more troubling to me is the portrayal of Victoria's British uncle, Ernst Augustus, King of Hanover. The historical record says that he went to Germany only 7 days after Victoria became Queen. In the series he hangs around in Britain, plotting to become co-regent. While there was a lot of popular speculation at the time that he planned to murder his niece and take the throne himself and for his heirs, I don't see that he really spent so much time in Britain.Just as a point of interest, the heir to Ernst August in the TV series, is Prince Ernst August of Hanover (born 1954), who is the current spouse, albeit estranged husband, of Princess Caroline of Monaco.

His families British titles were suspended under the Titles Deprivation Act 1917, but he still personally claims to be a British prince.
