Like many people, once I start looking at YouTube I get distracted, and can spend hours looking at clips.

I found an interesting clip about Princess Victoria Alice Elizabeth Julia Marie (Prince Phillip's mother)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEWJ184PQjg

What I found very interesting is at about 33 seconds into the clip, a photograph of Queen Victoria SMILING!



:-D

I remember seeing the old Princess Royal being interviewed once , she knew Queen Victoria who was her grandmother, and she said that the queen actually laughed a lot. That she would throw her head back, open her mouth so you could see her gums and really laugh heartily.

Because the queen went into such a tremendous decline when the prince consort died the memory of her remains with that.

Think on, she had nine children I believe. She must have been a bit of a goer. Know what I mean? Know what I mean?
