As I doubt that Queen Victoria will be writing me a letter to post and frame, I find autographed letters a unique glimpse to one of the most powerful feminine sovereigns in world history.
The English are unique in having three Queens in Elizabeth I, Victoria and Elizabeth II having ruled for extended periods. Elizabeth I literally built the British Empire and Victoria expanded it to it's end, and Elizabeth II has ruled over it's ashes.
The British Constitutional Monarchy is supposed where the royals do not take much part, but the reality is the ruling monarch is very aware what her Parliament is up to.
In the letter below, Queen Victoria was congratulating Lord Randolph Churchill for his skill as Leader of the House of Commons in keeping the United Kingdom together.
Great obstructionism was undertaken by leftists and Irish interests, but he handled it without bullying nor destroying the Constitution.
Her Majesty though was amused and personally wrote a note to the young man appreciating his service for the Empire.
Queen Victoria's handwriting reveals a unique person in her closed letters, showing great attention personal details, and the broad sweeping words covering the page, reveals she is a Empress who spreads herself over her empire fully.
The sharpness of the cursive lettering means she cuts to the quick in not accepting any flowery nonsense.
This was an Anglo Germanic and her psychology and personality is revealed in her letter fully of her heritage.
The English have had astute women, including Margaret Thatcher, for governing their holdings and did so wisely while the the majority of the males have not promoted British interests, save Cromwell, Pitt and Churchill.
Queen Camillia will have to be the saving grace of Britain as leftist Charles, while up to the task, has spoken too openly of the monarchy's good.
