The Victorian age is something that gets a lot of attention when studying History as a subject. As a Monarch, Victoria ruled over a quarter of the globe at the beginning of the British Empire and commanded respect from Prime Ministers, the public and indeed her husband Prince Albert at all times.

However, there was a part of her life that didn’t seem to be in control, her relationship with her children, especially after the death of her Consort, which was fractious at best and as her children got older the more it seems they couldn’t wait to rebel against her and carve out lives for themselves. Such was the intriguing premise behind the B.B.C.’s three part series Victoria’s Children.
