Watch Queen Victoria and her Nine Children Episode 1 for free on YouTube with BBC Select.
When her beloved husband Prince Albert died at a tragically young age, Queen Victoria found herself bereft, running an Empire alone and the single mother to nine small children. This three-part history documentary explores how Queen Victoria’s grief changed her as a mother and a monarch.
Queen Victoria’s coping mechanisms were quite extreme. She hid herself away from public life and began to focus on her children, micromanaging everything from what they wore to who they married. But her meddling would lead to resentment and tragedy.

Even the monarchs need time off to themselves
Wow…and I thought my narcissistic 'mother' was toxic.
Victoria sounds like the most narcasist mean woman on earth .
Wow! You can tell they were all siblings. They look so much a like. They also all look like Albert.
This whole "documentary" is nothing more than a personal opinion party with an obvious slant in one direction. What a shame.
Queen Victoria was a terrible person. She loved sex but disliked the outcome.
queen Victoria wasn't right in the head. just saying. children were just chattel to her.
Victoria didn't need to pop out a kid every time she had sex. stupid woman.
I have a distinct feeling that this docu is very anti Queen V.
Text Book narcissist! They are incapable of compassion or understanding anyone else's suffering or emotions. It's all about them. The poor children suffered horrible mental abuse
I'm seeing a lot of judgment here.☹️
Victoria swims out to battleships…one wishes.
She was a nut.
Are there other documentaries of this saga? I’d like to watch.
Poor Leopold :(((
I have never been a fan of Victoria. This documentary cements that dislike. What an awful, abusive narcissist.
Those poor, abused children.
The photo of Alice at 5:07 is shocking. When was that photo taken?? Those dark circles and bags under her eyes… wow. Was this taken in the time immediately following her fathers death?
she didnt need to have any children!! she was evidently psychotic !!
She was a looker lol
Unfortunately it hasn't changed much. Royals can't be a normal family.
Twot
Oh no…a woman that doesn’t have maternal instinct…the worlds gonna crash. Who gives a sh!t. Just bc somebody’s born in a woman’s body doesn’t mean they have automatic maternal instincts. P!ss off society.
Seems like the queen was nothing more than self absorbed hog.
this sucks. If it were 300, 400 years earlier they all wouldve gotten rid of her and everyone wouldve been happy again. Too bad
All that old woman needed was a good pimp and all her tantrums would have seize…LMBO…All jokes aside, she was bored and wanted to make everyone else pay for it…Imagine if when Albert went to visit Bertie, she would have had an affair and just moved on to a new Richard (change for nick name)…She was simply an overtly sexualizing, selfish, envious, narcissist, sadist…Jealous of the youth of others…A real sick puppy, indeed…LOL…
British history always the best in the world I personally enjoy anything about great Britain they are the reason the whole world speaks English ❤🙏🇬🇭
