Echoes of History

Queen Victoria

Listen on

Episode notes

Queen Victoria was the last English monarch of the House of Hanover and gave her name to an era in British history. Although small in stature, she was a towering figure as she witnessed major turning points in British history. Yet she is often caricatured as a spiky and stubborn woman to deal with.

This episode will focus on her life as queen, unpacking the myths about her personality, exploring how she ruled in tandem with her beloved husband Albert, survived eight assassination attempts and then emerged from hacasis shadow to rule with imperial magnificence.
