1:04:13Now PlayingThe statistics are impressive: Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland as well as Empress of India, was on the throne for sixty-three years. She oversaw an empire that encompassed a quarter of the world’s population. She survived seven assassination attempts. Her children and grandchildren became rulers of more than half a dozen nations. But what was Victoria really like? In her deeply researched biography, Baird, a columnist for The International New York Times, delves beyond the monarch’s public persona, laying out fresh details of her marriage, her relationships with her nine children, her passions, and her rejection of many of the social constraints that, ironically, bear her name.
