Product Description

Queen Victoria's Children (DVD)

In fairy tales, the prince and the princess fall in love and live happily ever after. Reality is quite a different story. This new three-part series examines one of the most tempestuous of royal relationships, that of Queen Victoria with her husband, Prince Albert, and their nine children. The series uses personal photos, letters, diaries, memoirs and journals to bring to life the story of the tumultuous relationship of Victoria and Albert and the dictatorial attitude of Victoria towards her children following Albert's untimely death. It is a story of manipulation, conflict, intimidation, emotional blackmail, and fevered attempts by her children to escape the clutches of their domineering and needy mother.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well done, insightful offering.
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014

I was very impressed with this documentary. It presented quite a bit of material which was new to me. I don't think I appreciated the degree to which Queen Victoria was a 'Mommy Dearest'. This documentary works very effectively in conjunction with 'Royal Cousins at War', this offering covering Queen Victoria's children, the other her grandchildren. With the centennial of World War One upon us, these two films offer valuable insight into the personalities and politics which determined the age. Note: They ARE documentaries, not films designed purely for entertainment, though that does by no means diminish their value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Victorian Empire - Outside The Home & Around The World

I really enjoyed watching this DVD of Queen Victoria's 9 - COUNT EM' 9 Children! It was interesting to find out the dirt behind the crown. Who knew that Victoria had a voracious appetite - not just blood or figgy pudding guys ;) or that she was a near tyrant in controlling her children's lives. If any of you are interested in history and all sorts of tidbits - I'd recommend you pick this up. Its about 180 mins and broken down into 3 sections; but worth every minute and penny. I love history so if you do too - this one is for you. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars QUEEEN VICTORIA'S CHILDREN
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2014

Yes I have watched this DVD and I must say I was not surprised that she loved sex but hated Babies. I am so glad I was not one of her poor children. They were both so harsh on their Kids. AS for Prince Albert he was harsh on his Bertie too. Bertie well he had a wow of a time in his life and why not.!!! His Mother was always harsh not allowing him preparation for the time he would become King which happened in 1901. He reigned for 9 years. It turned out he was a natural diplomat the opposite of his cold Mother. I am interested in the History of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha later to become the House of Windsor by King George V whilst WW1 was active. The name was changed because the Royals were concerned about a back lash against a very German Monarchy including Queen Mary who has been depicted in history as a ICE QUEEN.. They George V even denied the CZAR Nicholas & his family sanction even though PM David Lloyd George was happy to give them protection. We all know the story in 1918 the entire Czar and his family and servants were all executed by the new incoming Red Russians. Well would you like to have that on your conscience. It was blamed on the Govt. until the truth was revealed some time ago now. The current Queen gets her looks from Queen Mary that is obvious to see from DVDS and Photos. This is not a surprise as I have read a book about the Princess who never married to devote her life to Queen Victoria at her insistence of course so a lot was covered on all her children.

This was a well done three-part documentary on the children of Queen Victoria. She was a difficult woman and none of them had a good childhood. I found it interesting and wish BBC would put out more of their programming in the US/Canada DVD format.

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2015

Very interesting tidbits, especially Queen Victoria's deep physical obsession for her beloved Prince Albert and how German was the daily language of discourse for the family. I have viewed better documentaries on British royalty, however, and believe that is one rates more a 2 1/2 star - but since that wasn't available, I had to give it 3. Ok, but omit from your collection.

Great learn a lot, recommend to anyone who loves English history. Queen Victoria was quite a woman, both privately and in the eyes of the public. As a mother she left a lot to be desired, maybe she would have been different if Prince Albert had lived.

4.0 out of 5 stars I felt that the issue of immorality with Victoria's sons was poorly portrayed as being a better alternative than being sexually
Reviewed in Canada on October 31, 2015

This documentary about Queen Victoria is more about her role as a wife and mother, rather than as a queen of England and her royal duties. I've watched other BBC versions of her life, and I must say that this one reveals a much different perspective of who she was. This project was put together by interviewing royal biographers and historians, including many letters, photos and early attempts at moving pictures.

The conclusion must be drawn, from what was presented here, that personally, Victoria was not a "nice" person, but rather a selfish, controlling, overbearing mother. I suppose one must look at Victoria's own childhood, being raised as a secluded, only child of a loveless, similarly controlling mother, to understand that Victoria tried desperately to meet her own needs by the way she treated her children. I wonder if she would have been different towards them if Albert had not died so young.

For the most part, this was interesting and well-presented. However, I felt that the issue of immorality with Victoria's sons was poorly portrayed as being a better alternative than being sexually pure, as their mother and father had both modeled and desired for their sons. It wasn't an "either or" situation. The sons could have led exemplary lives and done their "royal duty" well at the same time. I don't believe their waywardness can be entirely blamed on Victoria's overbearing mothering. They made their own choices.

I would have preferred a more lineal presentation of the 9 children. There was some "jumping around", especially with the daughters. At times I
became a little confused about who was who. I would recommend this to those who enjoy learning about British history.
