Its like a post you might see on mumsnet AIBU to think that my MIL hates me. She came to our wedding but was very miserable and wouldn't even pose properly for the wedding photos. DH says she misses her own H so much but I think she should be over him by now.
She never forgave him did she, though - she blamed him for Albert dying so I imagine there are all kinds of slights and messages going on.
Why did she blame him?She never forgave him did she, though - she blamed him for Albert dying so I imagine there are all kinds of slights and messages going on.
Was he caught shagging some prostitute or something, Albert went to see him to tell him to pack it in, got caught in the rain, got pneumonia and died. She was a drama Queen in all sensesWhy did she blame him?
she said something along the lines of ’I never can, or shall, look at him without a shudder’.Was he caught shagging some prostitute or something, Albert went to see him to tell him to pack it in, got caught in the rain, got pneumonia and died. She was a drama Queen in all senses
Oh my God, that's hilarious!
The perfect image of the mother in law from hell!Oh my God, that's hilarious!
Oprah fake?That’s hilarious! Do Americans think royals wear tiaras 24/7? Even in the olden days they didn’t wear them all the time!

I thought it was the daughter who burnt her diaries? But yes, she loved sex but didn't like the babies that came with it. I get a similar feeling about our own blessed Queen to some extent. She loved Phil, but wasn't that bothered about motherhood.And a hypocrite too. When she died, her son burned her diary as it was extremely ”saucy”. Vicki spent much of her marriage romping with Al. That’s why she had so many children, I guess.
To add to the terrible person reputation, Victoria ordered her youngest daughter to remain unmarried so she could serve solely as a companion and carer to the old bitch. Imagine THAT thread on “Am I The Asshole” on Reddit.
There’s a new school of thought that says Albert may not have died of Typhoid, but he actually had something like Chrohns! No one else got sick with typhoid within the royal circle at that time, and now we look back the symptoms don’t match, and he throughout his life has periods of ill health, especially gastric symptoms at times of stressWas he caught shagging some prostitute or something, Albert went to see him to tell him to pack it in, got caught in the rain, got pneumonia and died.

The more I read about Victoria the more I feel really sad for herI thought it was the daughter who burnt her diaries? But yes, she loved sex but didn't like the babies that came with it. I get a similar feeling about our own blessed Queen to some extent. She loved Phil, but wasn't that bothered about motherhood.
And ironically the 'frog like' look came from her, the kind of bulging eyes for example. There's a great doc of her on Netflix, Victoria and her nine children I think it was called.She called her babies ugly and frog like. She used her youngest as an emotional crutch after Albert died. Allegedly she had a number of emotional if not physical relationships after his death but kept up the public persona of the eternal grieving widow.
She was certainly a very complex character, I'm fascinated by her tbh.
I've enjoyed that doc. Beatrice has her eyes, I think she looks so like her, apparently Victoria was tiny.And ironically the 'frog like' look came from her, the kind of bulging eyes for example. There's a great doc of her on Netflix, Victoria and her nine children I think it was called.
She was also disgusted when her daughters and granddaughters breast fed their babies, calling them milk cows. Pregnancy and childbirth was the 'shadow side' of marriage.I thought it was the daughter who burnt her diaries? But yes, she loved sex but didn't like the babies that came with it.

Beatrice definitely got a lot of Victoria's features, thankfully not her personalityI've enjoyed that doc. Beatrice has her eyes, I think she looks so like her, apparently Victoria was tiny.
I think she became Queen at 18, was very sheltered and immature even for an 18 year old, then married Albert, fell madly in love in a teenage way then proceeded to have lots of sex and babies, then he died and she was still a teenage drama queen at heart and hadn't really done anything else.So the general consensus is Queen Vic was a bit of a beatch then?
