- Last in a two-part documentary in which Prince Michael of Kent traces the story of the idyllic love match between his great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria, and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coberg.This edition covers the period when, devastated by the death of Prince Albert, the Queen went into hiding for over five years, and Britian almost became a republic. But she was finally brought out of her seclusion by Benjamin Disraeli and by the relationship she formed with her servant John Brown.

Prince Michael did a bang up job with this documentary. Nicely paced, without any filler or fluff.
My favourite Victoria docurama, part 2 particularly. Love the music, Michael of Kent did an excellent job narrating. He's a great prince. 👍
Thank you Prince Michael for sharing the lovely story of your great-great grandparents. It is wonderful that you have the buildings, photos, letters and personal items to treasure. I really enjoyed your program.
Prince Michael gave the documentary a deeper meaning for me, as its his personal family history, and his narrative skills I enjoyed very much....
And now I'm enjoying reflecting on it......history....love.....devotion....
Thanks for the upload:--)
Excellent presentation, and by Queen Victoria's great great grandson no less. Very appreciated!
Oh my, what a love story? Prince Michael excelled in giving us such insight not just into the life of Queen Victoria & her "sweet angel" Prince Albert, but others she'd grow to love as friends be they PMs or servants right up to Victorias death, what a fabulous docudrama I've had the pleasure of seeing! ⚘
The finest account of an extraordinary life during an equally extraordinary period. This documentary has been the most informative met with the approval of an heir to its subjects.
HRH Prince Michael of Kent was the perfect presenter for this memorial of Victoria and Albert .
I enjoyed this series. Prince Michael of Kent is an excellent narrator---and adds a little 'something' to the documentary.
Very informative and engaging. Prince Michael of Kent was excellent in presenting this story of his great great grandparents.
What's a nice to me to listen he has a very educated a voice my forte is physics history anyway
I've watched other documentaries he's narrated. I enjoy them very much.
Absolutely beautiful. H.R.H Prince Michael..so well articulated history.
im am vary glad we have Victoria day in canada no one should mess with history Victoria day is the gem of canada
HRH Prince Michael really does a splendid job in commentating; authoratative and engaging.

Most definitely - and so graceful, he apparently has a natural gift for this -
have fun,

Mop
So sad that he is married to a vile and despicable racist, that is unless he himself too is an ignorant and deplorable racist as well
Beautifully narrated by HRH Prince Michael of Kent.
Fabulous !
Loved the history
Wonderfully presented by
Prince Michael of Kent
The Brits know how to narrate a documentary, nobody can beat them.
I love this documentary about Victoria! It is very well done 👍!!!
...if fact, she loved - and was loyal to her husband and friends. Holding on to an ancient mind toward ruling and monarchy - she did what she considered the duty and best for her kingdoms.
A sad loss of Albert at such a younger age, for the Queen and the people, as her empathy would surely have been evident in a different story of the balance of freedoms and ethics in her own England and in my families Ireland.
A most kinder person she was than many around her, or those that followed.
Peace be with her and Albert always...
One thing for darn sure, Albert would Never sign away Royal Authority the way silly Victoria did! She was like a fish out of water without him & had no more political savvy then a rock! Obviously had No idea of what she was signing & the politicians took advantage of this fact. Albert would Never have approved of her head-in-the-sand period of alleged grief. I personally think she was really "hiding" as she didn't want to have to face her royal responsibilities without Albert's guiding hand.
John Brown helped her out of her depression, so in his own way saved the monarchy. He never had a holiday, & was there 24/7 for the Queen. Obviously he slept as she did, but he was up, dressed & had her pony ready for her daily. She felt Albert had sent JB to her, & that's why she had a statue of Brown in a triangle facing herself & Albert at Balmoral. "We three are yoked". But after Victorias death, her eldest son & heir, had Browns staue removed far into the woods. He'd also burned all of Victorias letters to Abdul Karim, & her photos, anything with Victorias name on it was burned in front of Abdul. Her son Bertie, Edward the 7th was on the thrown after Victoria for 9 yrs. 1901-1910. Shouldn't the British monarchy now have John Browns statue placed bk where Queen Victoria wanted it to be?
Great, yet sad story of love & loss in our Britsh monarchy. 👑
agree with you.
You obviously wern't watching the same docu as the rest of us. She was very political, esp after she recovered some, from Alberts loss. At age 60 she was more busy as Queen than she'd ever been while Albert was running the show. She was a great Queen who had an age named after her. God bless her, & may she R.I.P.
@@michealtaylor7745 Well, I can see him moving the statue of JB. At least he didn’t destroy it, he easily could have. Abdul? I’m with him. He was a grifter.
Very well narrated and interesting docu!❤️thanks for posting!!
As what could happen to a peasant women, also happened to Victoria. Sadly, there are no guarantees in life; not even for a Queen. This is what happens when we love someone too much. When we do, we often leave ourselves no safety net to fall back on, should we lose the object of our love. Never love anyone so much - that you would not be able to survive the loss.
Only God deserves that kind of love.
Susie Arviso well said, and understood in my own life now. Lord Jesus is one that will never leave us, or disappoint.
The cult of death indeed. The music is beautiful but way too intrusive and loud. But apart from that it is a very good documentary and to have HRH Michael of Kent present is a very good touch. Bravo!
Really awesome that Albert and Victoria loved each other very much. 💝
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful documentary of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
very well put together and narrated documentary.
Excellent documentary! Informative. Well done.
that movie with dame judi dench and billy connolly as john brown was very enjoyable to watch. based on fact and fiction. very good movie
What's the name of that movie
Brampton kid I think it’s called Mrs Brown
@@Kassieana2 HM Mrs Brown.
I have so enjoyed the story of Albert and Victoria. Such respect and love
Such a strong, and courage's queen. To myself as a woman. This would have definitely been one of my most sought after role models. Also, the biography. The way in which his great-great grandmother was incredible.
Truly enjoyed the documentary but especially as it was narrated by HRH Prince Micheal of Kent, excellent job, impressive
why are British documentaries especially their history ones so good
+Angelina Harshbarger Lack of sensationalism, I suppose
No Hollywood influence............
Because they are truthful and factual without a lot of glitz or melodrama Love british documentaries
Angelina Harshbarger based on fact rather than "chinese whispers" that seem to be on CZcams about Prince's Charles, William and Harry.
they are usually produced by the BBC
Prince Michael is the spitting image of his grandfather, King George V.
I hope he is kinder to his sons, if he has any.
He has a son and a daughter. Apparently he is a good and loving father
I'm in tears.... I wish she had been able to be with her Prince her whole life... she loved him SOOO much.... I can't stand the thought of her grief.
Thank you so much for this educational documentary! Shared, for sure!
Thank you for uploading this
She really stood by a window and yelled?? She must have had severe depression. :-(
I lost my breathe and cried for hours when my best friend died some deaths hit you harder.
I’m absolutely in love with all of Great Britain History
Wonderfully detailed and narrated.
Really awesome documentary. I enjoyed it very much.
I enjoyed this documentary.
Chris Leone 2
Chris Leone ,
Great documentary, thank you for sharing.
Disraeli was an oleaginous creep. Victoria was fortunate to have had a happy marriage. Edward was notoriously unfaithful to Alexandra.
To point out , the Cello Concerto at the beginning of Part 2 was composed by Elgar
and was performed by Jacqueline du Pre with Sir John Barbirolli conducting.
For those who asked: what you hear at the beginning is Elgar's Cello concert.
Prince Michael looks WAY more like Albert than the guy they chose to portray Albert in this.
WOW this was great thank you
I do like Prince Michael. What an amazing resemblance to George 5th, and the Russian prince etc.
The Ducumenterys you post are fantastic
Excelente relato de una parte muy importante de Reino .Unido . Muy bien contada x sú Alteza Real el príncipe Mikael de Kemp. Ok
it seems there was a lot of sadness-some parts music was too loud to hear what was been said.
I think that she was clinically depressed after alberts death.One of the symptoms of depression is that they have difficulties making decisions,no matter how trivial the decision might be.I think that Brown relieved her of that responsibility.Perhaps she also liked Brown because he didn't kiss her ass.I don't believe that the relationship was sexual.
You are thinking what you should not think and say about the world famous Queen Victoria. pl show some respect to the iconic Queen.
I love how the reenactress of Queen Victoria (and all the reenactors) uses this posh RP! Especially with those trilled _r_'s for emphasis!
Queen Victoria: (23:43) ... she will sooner abdicate than send for that half-mad fire-brand! Others but herself may submit to his _democrrrrratic_ rrule, but not the Queen!
(23:56) There must be no attempt to change the foreign policy! no change in India! and no hasty retreat from Afghanistan!
jjeanniton Re: Afghanistan: the more things change, the more they stay the same, don't they?
I learned a lot from this. Thanks
That was awesome very sad God bless her Victoria
and Abdul Karim, her East Indian secretary, was a huge influence as well....haven't watched all of the documentary, so don't know if he's mentioned.
I can't hear the Queen very well because of that depressing music.
Karina Irmer its not the queen !
"Her eyesight failing..." Poor thing, she probably had cataracts - no cure for that back then.
Just old age, I think.
Yes there was a cure. Father of the Brontes had surgery in 1847...no anesthesia....but it restored his sight
I struggle with the fact that Queen Victoria’s diary and hence this particular interpretation of her life was edited by her daughter after her death... what is the truth of this life ?
We will never know.
JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!
bertie was a rebellious , gambler and womanizing son....Queen victoria was not quite sure how to handle him...they seldom saw eye to eye on anything..
Thanks a lot !!
what a fascinating story !
I wish that I was born during the time of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
This is absolutely amazing 3
@maryc331: Today, we'd call people like Disraeli "brown nosers" (at least in the States).
Black is the traditional colour of mourning in most Western cultures, especially after the death of a close friend or loved one. White, in Western culture has a number of different meanings but in this case stands for wholeness and completion. The Queen was returning to her beloved husband after a long period of mourning.
WellJohn Brown seems to have been what she needed at the time, he seems to have given her a well deserved kick in the ass.
Simply must agree, wev'e had some interesting history to enjoy
Excellent documentary. I enjoyed watching it. Prince Michael did a great job.
Christine Click qqq
@@jerrymcghee2170 Qqq? What's that about?
Very moving...
I wonder, are the coffins directly under the statues of Victoria and Albert, or are they in the a vault, several feet below? Prince Michael said "buried", but was that meant literally?
Directly under the effigies
I am sensing some serious " daddy issues" here.
Jane Hill she had no biological father. Her father was Lord M!
Music is far too intrusive.
Agreed. It's too loud.
Lexi Grimbrooke "
Simpson Henry ,yes it is too much, and not necessary.
Totally agree. Excellent documentary but I found it hard to concentrate with the music at such a loud volume
Lexi Grimbrooke glad I am not the only one bothered by the music. Hard at times to understand what is being said.
I still Miss the vídeo about Scotland, it was great.I'd love to visit.
Wonderful
The video is wonderfuuuuul
Mighty Queen Victoria.
When I look at the British monarchy and the British people all over the world and I see the humility and goodness in the world, it must be the strength of the tribe of Joseph
How sad they didn't mention a thing about Princess Alice's death, which happened on the very same day her father died.
Obviously it had no relevance to Albert & Victoria. This was just about them.
@@michealtaylor7745 Also if you watch the 1st part of the documentary they mention the fact that her father died when she was less than a year old so she probably didn't have that much of a consideration plus it is said that she said when her son got sick this date again so maybe that's kind of a reference to the fact that her father died on the date too
Her relationship with John Brown set her children's teeth on edge. Dying in the arms of the Kaiser, a universally disliked man who would engage Britain in the First World War is devastatingly ironic. It is said that she forgave Bertie on her deathbed, but I really have to wonder why one of her children didn't hold her instead of that despicable clown. This documentary is fairly well done, but a lot has been left out. Taking a lock of Brown's hair and his photo into her coffin was odd given her deep love for Albert. So he was more than a mere friend to the Queen and there was speculation that they were secretly married near Balmoral and their honeymoon spent in one of the little cottages.
Anstria Greenwood Queen Victoria called Wilhelm her "Clever favorite grandson" but Wilhelm's English relatives despise him and consider him arrogant and abnoxious. As of a matter of fact All of his relatives in Europe hated him and the only one that gave love to him is his Grandmother.
Victoria was just a woman, though with an intense job. She had been in a very happy marriage...she was very open that she liked sex and living chaste once the first sorrow is blunted is difficult...she met someone who was approved of by her husband, who was blunt with her as no one else was allowed to be, who she felt was honestly loyal to her. If there were more, good on her.
But she also was burried with one of Albert's bath robes. But yeah, bringing things from John Brown with her into her grave is peculiar. Unless there was more than just friendship between them, but I don't believe that we'll ever really know...
Anstria Greenwood Who cares if she did it or not. Queen Victoria is an adult and she was single. Life does not stop at a death or divorce.. If the old gal and JB had fun power to the them. I mfeel it didn’t go down. Her uterus collapsed thus no tsex for her.
@@VolumedMusicMan Her Uterus hadn't collapsed when she was in her 40s after Apbert but when JB was sort after to get her out on her pony again. He really did save her from a constant blackness of sorrow in the 2nd part of her life. Hence Victoria also had JBs mothers wedding ring on Victorias 3rd finger of her left hand, also a framed pic of JB in her left hand amongst his pocket watch etc. Maybe he was a very close friend who was there for her 24/7. Something she said she'd always needed. Even Albert wasn't there for her as much as John was. They enjoyed eachothers company & enjoyed a drink together etc but there is no evidence but speculation on anything else. He saved her in the yrs ahead & helped her get out & be Queen to the ppl again. That's what matters.👸
woooow. This vídeo is superbbb
All together she was a remarkable woman!
This was so sad. 😢
great...............
What is in the box that she hands to the prime ministers?
@WindowOnThePrairie Agree. I don't think this is an objective telling of the story of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert given that it is being told by Queen Victoria's great-great grandson, Prince Michael of Kent who likely has a vested interest in painting a mostly positive picture of his royal ancestors.
Robert Peel (1788-1850) was the Founder of the first new Metropolitan Police Force at Scotland Yard in 1829.
Victoria and Albert were magnificient
Hello everybody.
Maybe somebody can help me to find the Name of Composer and Musictitle which is played at the beginning and the End of this great documentary. Shazam didnt work :(
they said she did nothing to help the police to stop jack the ripper
If you are trying to imply that her Grandson Albert Victor was Jack the Ripper you may need to rethink that because there is not one shred of evidence to support it.
I am from India still i love the queen and their lives!
Does the music play the entire time!? I want to watch this entire documentary, but it seems I’ll not be able to watch it in peace.
She felt guilty for how badly she treated the prince.
At 4:58 is that the Czar and his wife on the upper right hand corner? Kaiser Wilhelm down in front ?
37:36 She says, "there will be no one depressed in this house" ...after spending a decade in depression, not being able to go back to Buckingham for over 6 years?? Hypocrite? I don't think she ran the country. The other men in her life did.
She said “There IS no one depressed in this house.” She’s talking about not being depressed over the current situation.
Thanks
The queen was truly devastated
That was good....
She kind of looked like Lincolns wife
Victoria did send understanding condolences to Mary Todd Lincoln.
Anyone know the namme of the music played right in the beginning of this video?
It's Elgar's cello concerto. Look up Jacqueline du Pré for the definitive recording.
