Victoria Victorious
At birth, Princess Victoria was fourth in line for the throne of England, the often-overlooked daughter of a prince who died shortly after her birth. She and her mother lived in genteel poverty for most of her childhood, exiled from court because of her mother’s dislike of her uncles, George IV and William IV.

Then one morning, at the age of eighteen, Princess Victoria awoke to the news of her uncle William’s death.
