Queen Victoria: The Shy Widow Who Became A Political Powerhouse

After Albert's death, Victoria began to explore a more liberated life. Her journals reveal her transformation from a constrained queen under Albert's control to a more independent woman who embraced personal freedom and new loves.

Victoria's close relationships with men like John Brown and Abdul Karim were sources of scandal and intrigue. Her deep affection for these figures, along with their unconventional roles, was both a source of comfort for her and a point of contention with her court.

Upon her death, Victoria's unconventional relationships and personal attachments were largely erased by her children. Despite attempts to censor and destroy parts of her life, her letters and journals remain a valuable testament to her complex and dynamic personality.
