"What my country needs right now is a queen. Not a brood mare." such a feminist quote!

Ira Williams Less a feminist, more a practical woman who wanted to succeed where her mother and various other figures in her life had failed. She desired power over the people who would traditionally have controlled her because of the deep mistrust in people like her mother, and she goes about snatching power back from them in some very petty / immature ways in some instances... The Flora Hastings incident comes to mind as a particularly poorly managed attempt to disgrace an enemy

“I am most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of ‘Women’s Rights,’ with all its attendant horrors… Were women to “unsex” themselves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen, and disgusting of beings and would surely perish without male protection.” - Queen Victoria

Couldn't have expressed it better. 'Restraint' was the shackle that was put on our wrists since infanthood. Victoria was Queen and yet, for all her power and vested glory, she had to constantly prove herself.

Victoria possessed rather keen instincts - what in modern terms is referred to as situation awareness. One glaring exception was the Irish Potato Famine - the Queen could not fathom the uniform, insidious and pervasive discrimination against Catholics by the Protestant ruling class - and to his day - remains a stain/blight upon the legacy of British rule.

I think in Season 2 they do cover the Irish Potato Famine and in the show at least, it shows that Victoria wanted to help but Parliament couldn’t agree or something along those lines. And later in her life I think Victoria did regret what happened during the Irish Potato Famine

The appeal of Victoria and her ability to stand the tests of her era, [if it could so much as be put in a mere statement], could no be better said than that by British Prime minister Sir Winston Churchill: that, "History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.'' [*simply paraphasing for the sake of space available. Don't quote me on that...] → “Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.” (“The Sphinx Without a Secret”, Oscar Wilde) → “I am every day more convinced that we women, if we are to be good women, feminine and amiable and domestic, are not fitted to reign; at least it is they that drive themselves to the work which it entails.” (Queen Victoria) → “Men never think, at least seldom think, what a hard task it is for us women to go through this very often. God’s will be done, and if He decrees that we are to have a great number of children why we must try to bring them up as useful and exemplary members of society.” (Queen Victoria)

"Ruled" is rather an inappropriate term. Current british monarchs are more figureheads and have no (or little) say on how the country is ran. Why they still exist is beyond me...same for other countries that have elected officials, but still waste taxpayer money on kings/queens and their decendant and their lifestyles.

From what I understand, Queen Victoria hated governance, politics, the women's rights movement, and thought women belonged in the home. She was quite happy Albert took so eagerly to it, and let her not. The woman wasn't a feminist icon, she just happened to be queen.

I just LOVE to see those stupid actors talking about Queen Victoria as if they knew anything about her. They were merely repeating the words written to them, nothing else. I also think the way to understand her is to see how she treated her children. That is how one can judge her character.

Eu Sei you clearly haven't been watching these for too long. Jenna Coleman was given the opportunity to read Victoria's personal journals and diaries. That is where her knowledge comes from. Including the journals that speak of her children. She loved her children but she was queen in a time in which mothers and queens "couldn't" be the same thing.

That's a very harsh comment regarding the series. Personally i think, and I'm sure many would agree with me that the cast gave a brilliant performance and the series has been very well-produced as well as directed. Sure, there might be some historical inaccuracies ( which no doubt is the same for EVERY series intended to depict people and their lives more than a CENTURY ago) but overall, all the characters have been brilliantly portrayed with Jenna Coleman definitely giving the part of Queen Victoria its due. I myself certainly find the series a well-worth pastime. Or perhaps you could do us all a favour and publish an article giving full explainations and evidence as to why you think the actors are so incompetent as to guarantee such severe criticism from your side. At the very least, please do refrain from insulting people and their efforts without having full knowledge about the subject.

Any actor worth their salt will study the characters they are portraying (particularly if they are historical people) and do their best interpretation based on what they've researched. They will have more knowledge of these historical figures than the general public, though probably not as much as a true historian. I'm sure they know what they're talking about here.

There's lots of historical proof that Victoria loved her children. Yes,she might have called them ugly as babies but like every mother,she cared about them. A momentary reaction to a situation may be insufficient to judge and get the full picture of someone's personality
