Since Professor Milstein mentioned Queen Victoria briefly in class this last week, I thought I'd look up a bit about her. I'm endlessly fascinated by royal families, particularly that of England, and I found this a short but succint summary of her life.
Also, she wasn't a very pretty woman - not like we expect our royalty to be like today. Maybe there's something to be said for the juxtaposition of beauty and wealth? I'll probably end up doing more research on that during the rest of the semester.
Brief Biography of Queen Victoria

She was NOT attractive by any standards LOL, though perhaps she exuded a sense of middle-class propriety and decorum.
