Love letter about her lost love love by Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria writer of this love letter
However she also had a very human side to her part of which was her her strong dependence on her husband Albert. She gave so much love to Albert that she was often considered as having no love left available for their children.
Even when he died in 1861 her love was so great it was virtually impossible for anyone to console her. In Victorian times the death of any family member cast every person into a deep mourning wearing black almost constantly for period of up to a year. For widows in society they were expected to continue in this state for much longer.
We can read an example of the depth of her love for Albert in this love letter she wrote to her uncle Leopold (who happened also to be the King of Belgian)
To the King of the Belgians, sent from Osborne, December 20, 1861
MY own DEAREST, KINDEST FATHER, —
For as such have I ever loved you! The poor fatherless baby of eight months is now the utterly broken-hearted and crushed widow of forty-two! My life as a happy one is ended! The world is gone for me! If I must live on (and I will do nothing to make me worse than I am), it is henceforth for our poor fatherless children — for my unhappy country, which has lost all in losing him — and in only doing what I know and feel he would wish, for he is near me — his spirit will guide and inspire me! But oh! to be cut off in the prime of life — to see our pure, happy, quiet, domestic life, which alone enabled me to bear my much disliked position, CUT OFF at forty-two — when I had hoped with such instinctive certainty that God never would part us, and would let us grow old together (though he always talked of the shortness of life) — is too awful, too cruel!
And yet it must be for his good, his happiness! His purity was too great, his aspiration too high for this poor, miserable world! His great soul is now only enjoying that for which it was worthy! And I will not envy him — only pray that mine may be perfected by it and fit to be with him eternally, for which blessed moment I earnestly long.
Dearest, dearest Uncle, how kind of you to come! It will be an unspeakable comfort, and you can do much to tell people to do what they ought to do. As for my own good, personal servants — poor Phipps in particular — nothing can be more devoted, heartbroken as they are, and anxious only to live as he wished!
Good Alice has been and is wonderful.
The 26th will suit me perfectly.Ever your devoted, wretched Child,
Victoria R.
Who would have imagined that Queen Victoria would have been able to write such a loving story in a love letter? Her grief did continue for many years after his death although some people suggest she later had an affair with her gamekeeper who was to become an almost constant companion to her.
