You always come up with the most fascina...Shelley,<br /><br />You always come up with the most fascinating topics. I must admit that what little I know about Queen Victoria is a matter of the movies I've seen - clearly not depicting historical reality other than, perhaps, the number of her children and a handful of other facts. <br /><br />Indeed, you point out many contradictions during the long period of her reign, and many consequences - intended or otherwise.<br /><br />Naturally, when Hollywood puts a pretty face like Emily Blount to the name/story - I believe that's who played Victoria a few years back - we are more favorably inclined to whatever the script portrays as reality.<br /><br />That, of course, is a good reason to remember that screenplays produce fictionalized stories; books may be more likely to present fact and context.
