Since Edward the Confessor
Was Victoria Regina et Imperatrix
God Bless 'Er!
On Wednesday night I watched a channel 5 documentary which did a real hatchet job on poor old Vicky - basically saying that she hated her children. Now, alright, she certainly wasn't the world's most hand on mum, but come on!
I quite like this one, it's based on a photograph of course - she doesn't pose for many life classes these days, does our Vick - but it looks like the kind of engraved illustration you might have got in a contemporary Illustrated London News.
