Victoria was just 18 years old when she was crowned Queen in 1837 - a tiny figure, with a will of iron. Never was there so queenly a queen. She made Britain great and the people loved her for it. In 1861 tragedy struck, when her husband Albert died. Dumb with grief, she hid herself away. Could anyone persuade her to be Queen again? Ages 10+.
