Love Like A Queen

A woman with great power, intelligence and courage. But nothing beats her undying love towards her husband, Albert. A young girl at 18, forced to mature beyond her years, weighed great responsibilities and leadership. Many expected her to fail, but the important thing was not what they thought of her, but what she thought of them. Many attempted to end her, but, she was not interested in the possibilities of defeat. They did not exist.

She mourned and wore black for her remaining 40 years in solitude. The death of Albert had left an emptiness in her soul, taken the spirit to live. She lived waking up laying her husband's attire by her bed, the only remembrance left of him.

She... was Alexandrina Victoria herself, Queen of the United Kingdom (20 June 1837 – 22 January 1901).
