queen victoria

Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, Dowager Duchess of Kent and Strathearn and Sir John Conroy As we well know, during her childhood Queen Victoria was under the rigid Kensington System, it was created to govern her education, with the intention that if Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld...

What if as a result of birthing her first child, our world's Princess Victoria, the Queen dies in 1840? How would the realm deal with having a newborn suddenly become the monarch as soon as she draws her first breath? Victoria I, 1837-1840 Victoria II, 1840-1931 I have the Princess here...

I’m playing around with a 19th century Scandinavia scenario, which may or may not include the house of Augustenburg gaining the Swedish throne - and possibly the Norwegian and Danish ones down the line as well. This would of course exclude the Glücksburg line from succession. Now in otl...

As the title says, sometime in 1845 Albert Edward, Prince of Wales catches a childhood illness and dies, his younger brother Prince Alfred is now the heir to the British throne, let's say he lives at least a decade longer than OTL, become king and eventually die in 1912 after a reign of 11...

This is based on a discussion I had with @The_Most_Happy @VVD0D95 @Fehérvári: OTL Emperor Franz I had no living grandkids until the birth of the future emperor Franz Joseph. However, both he and his wife (Karoline of Bavaria), were very attached to their grandson, "Frankie", the duke of...

I'm not familiar with this period but what would be the wider ramifications, knock on effects, and butterflies?

Is there a possibility that the British allow Alfred to take the Greek Crown? What are the conditions that will get the approval of the British and Queen Victoria?

Queen Victoria was one of the most influential monarchs of European History; grandmother to the 3 main kings/emperors of ww1 bar Franz Joseph, living a bit more than a century, and oversaw the transition to modern Britain's democracy. So, messing with her is a big deal. That begs the question of...

According to Wikipedia: What if that fever grew into something worse and she died because of it? Who would become king of Great Britain and Ireland after the death of William IV? Ernest Augustus?

What would be the effects in British history and culture if the Prince Consort had lived around the same age as Queen Victoria (just as both were born in 1819 within a month of each other, both die in 1901 within a month of each other)

Recently a though has passed through my head: what if Albert had died in 1871 and he and Victoria had had 24 children, born on this order: girl in 1840; four boys in 1841; girl and boy in 1842; girl in 1843; two girls in 1846; boy in 1848; boy in 1853; girl in 1854; girl and boy in 1856; boy...

Today's the 94th birthday of Empress Elizabeth, who has ruled over Albion since the age of 28 and in 4 years could be surpassing her great-great-grandmother was the longest-reinging monarch of the isles . That got me thinking, what if we hadn't had Victoria the Great? She ascended to the throne...

There was an actual attempt in 1840 on the lives of the newlyweds then expecting their first child. Assuming the child is lost too, the king of Hanover was next in line for the throne at that moment. One supposes an earlier George V means no Prussian conquest of Hanover, which completely blows...

So there's a commonplace rumour that Prince Albert Victor, son of Queen Victoria, or at the very least members of the English Royal family (specifically the Marquess of Salisbury), were responsible for the murders that happened at the hands of Jack the Ripper. There isn't really much to back it...

It is finally time for me to start my not-so-long-teased new TL (which I teased a lot more in the Our Fair Country Discord server, and is actually just a reboot of an earler TL I did)! Presenting, Patagonia 2.0! This will function similarly to many excellent TLs such as Our Fair Country, A...

What if King Victor was born a girl? Too the best of my knowledge of British succession laws she'd still be the heir to her uncle. However, Hanover's succession laws forbid female inheritance. So perhaps fewer wars in Germany? Also things in India maybe quite different, Victorian era people...

WI: Queen Victoria, infamous for her mourning of her husband, the Albert, Prince Consort, developed an interest in the popular 'Spiritualism' movement that emerged in the Victorian Era and tried a séance to speak to him once more? Would she try it more than once? Would she embrace a...

On March 2, 1882, a disgruntled poet named Roderick Maclean shot at Queen Victoria. Needless to say, he missed, possibly because his aim was disrupted by an Eton schoolboy. What if his shot had killed Victoria?

What if the princip of Leiningen live more and not die so early, making the mother of the queen Victoria remains marriage with him and the queen not born, how the not born of the mother of Europe influence the Europe?

How would a longer-lived Prince Edward (let's say living until just about a year before Victoria becomes queen) affect Victoria's abilities and time as the Queen of Britain? First off, it can be pointed out that Edward might well have a son who would knock Victoria out of the succession so...
