  • Heir of the Month: May 2016
    HEIR OF THE MONTH: MAY 2016 Princess Victoria of Kent How to educate a last minute heir: The Duchess of Kent and the Kensington System Jennifer Henderson Crane In 1861 Queen Victoria suffered a devastating loss that brought her to the brink of collapse. “The dreaded calamity has befallen us,” she recorded in her journal at Windsor Castle, “which seems like an awful dream, from which I cannot recover.” For those even remotely familiar with Queen Victoria, the image of the black-draped monarch is immediately evoked, a wife in perpetual mourning for the beloved husband she lost in 1861. However, the quoted line does not refer to the passing of Albert the Prince Consort, but instead to that of his paternal aunt and mother-in-law, Victoire, the Duchess of Kent, who passed away in March of the same year. Henry Bone: The duchess of Kent with her daughter, the future queen Victoria (c. 1824/25) Victoria had an at times fraught relationship with her mother, but Victoire’s death appeared to erase the past difficulties and animosities, leaving her daughter feeling like a bereft child. She opened herself fully to her grief, so much so that her obsessive hold onto mourning protocol provoked much commentary even outside of court circles. In her work, Magnificent Obsession, Helen Rappaport quotes an American diplomat lamenting that, “‘the Queen carries her sorrow at her mother’s death to an absurd extent… There are no balls this season and in lieu 1 HEIR OF THE MONTH: MAY 2016 thereof but one concert, and to this only the Ministers, and their Ladies and Chief Secretaries only are to be invited’.” Just as Victoria held varying emotions for her mother, so too have historians held variant stances on Victoire, as well as on her perceived motives and ambition.

It was the first time in the race’s 206 year history that a reigning Monarch had been honoured with such an exciting accolade and this being the 60th anniversary of the Coronation too. No wonder London is basking in glorious sunshine! To top all of these amazing events there is further excitement and anticipation a foot as in the next few days Britain, and indeed, the world, are looking forward to hearing good news from the two young, vibrant and glamorous of couples, TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as they are expecting their first arrival of a new baby and a future heir to the British Throne. Kensington Palace with Queen Victoria’s Statue in the Foreground This young couple are taking up residence at Kensington Palace; one of London’s most enchanting palaces and a place where several Monarchs and families of Monarchs have made their home. In the recent past it has been the London home of the late Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowden, the Late Diana, Princess of Wales and the late Dowager Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Alice. So Kensington Palace and the borough of Kensington has family members in its very enclaves and it has been like this since the time of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 which deposed James II and brought over from the Netherlands his daughter and son-in-law, King William III and his wife, Queen Mary II as joint rulers.

  • Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: Queen Victoria
    Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: Queen Victoria directed by Art Manke by Susan Myer Silton, Dramaturg © 2019 Little else has exerted its influence on the events and characters of this play more than the Victorian Era, which is discussed in a separate document. Queen Victoria herself is an offstage character in the play. The following biography of Queen Victoria draws from an article on BBC.com (https://www.bbc.com/timelines/ztn34j6), written by royal historian Professor Kate Williams, and is supplemented by the resources listed at the end of the document. Alexandrina Victoria was a study in contradictions. She reigned in a society that idealized motherhood and the family, and had nine children of her own. Nevertheless, she hated pregnancy and childbirth, detested babies, and was uncomfortable in the presence of children. She had no interest in social issues, yet her reign ushered in an age of reform, including benefits for the lower and middle classes and support of child labor laws. She resisted technological change during a time when mechanical and technological innovations, spawned by the Industrial Revolution, redesigned European civilization. Victoria was determined to retain political power; at the beginning of her marriage to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, she insisted that her husband have no part in the governance of the country. Yet within six months, and after repeated haranguing on his part, she allowed her confidant, advisor and mentor, Lord Melbourne (William Lamb), to give her husband access to the governmental dispatches, and then to attend her meetings with her ministers. What was initially a concession became standard practice, and during her first pregnancy, the prince received his own “key to the secret boxes.” Finally, the queen relinquished her reins of power to her husband, who succeeded in incapacitating her with unwanted pregnancy after unwanted pregnancy.

  • Queen Victoria's Medical Household
    Medical History, 1982,26:307-320. QUEEN VICTORIA'S MEDICAL HOUSEHOLD by A. M. COOKE* On the 24th of May, 1819, at Kensington Palace it was announced that: Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent was safely delivered of a Princess this morning at a quarter past five o'clock. Her Royal Highness and the Princess are doing well. D. D. Davis J. Wilson DRS. DAVIS AND WILSON were the first of a long line of medical men who attended, or were appointed to attend, Queen Victoria throughout her lifetime of nearly eighty-two years. Also assisting at the birth was a midwife, Friaulein Siebold, who, although she also held a medical qualification, did not sign the bulletin. It is an interesting coincidence that the Frilulein also attended at the birth of Prince Albert. We do not know what other medical attendants Victoria had as a child or before she came to the throne, but we know the medical staff of her father and mother. When ill, doubtless she would have been attended by one of them.

This is thought to have been part of a plan by her mother and her mother's Comptroller, Sir John Conroy, to make her mother Regent.

    c01.qxp 4/18/07 5:03 PM Page 25 1 THE WIDOW OF WINDSOR QUEEN VICTORIA CAME TO THE BRITISH throne through a series of tragedies and a conflux of familial dereliction. She was born in 1819, in the last full year of the tumultuous reign of her grandfather King George III; his illness had placed his son George at the center of power when the lat- ter assumed the title prince regent for his father in 1811. In 1785 Prince George, a man of insatiable appetites and thoroughly disagreeable reputa- tion, had married his mistress, the Catholic Marie Fitzherbert, in a morga- natic union; the marriage was also illegal under the Act of Settlement, which forbade any heir to the throne to enter into a union with a Roman Catholic. Perpetually in debt as a result of his extravagant building schemes, George eventually—and bigamously—married Princess Caro- line of Brunswick in hopes of gaining a large monetary settlement from Parliament. COPYRIGHTEDTheir union was a disaster from MATERIAL the very beginning: George complained that he found his wife ugly and common, and spent his wed- ding night passed out on the floor; Caroline, in turn, was scarcely enrap- tured with the licentious, grossly overweight prince, who flaunted his continued affair with Lady Jersey before the eyes of the court and his spouse, and both husband and wife proved wildly unfaithful. 25 c01.qxp 4/18/07 5:03 PM Page 26 26 TWILIGHT OF SPLENDOR As time dragged on and relations grew worse, George increasingly humiliated his wife in a series of deliberate acts that won her much sympa- thy; Caroline, in turn, carried on her own affairs, although the public con- tinued to side with her, even through her husband’s unsuccessful attempts to divorce her.
