cleaner Victoria. We did his bike or

1:02

episode last time but this week it's

1:04

all about scoring on the fact doesn't

1:06

decide whether or not he deserves the

1:08

bricks factor for we get into the

1:10

ratings, will have a quick. Recap on him

1:12

to refresh hour or alleys moment. Biography.

1:17

Prince. Albert was born on the Twenty

1:19

Sixth of August eighteen nineteen. just three

1:21

months after the birth of his future

1:23

wife and first cousin, Victoria and Albert

1:25

Chart. It is disrupted by the affairs

1:27

of his parents, with his mother sent

1:29

away from court and dying a few

1:31

months later few years later with either

1:33

saying ah but again serious a tedious

1:35

child Albus destiny almost from the off

1:37

his to be victorious future husband, first

1:39

visit to England's and modest success but

1:41

returned as a nation, Thirty Nine is

1:43

a triumph. Victoria falls madly in love

1:45

and proposes marriage soon after. All

1:48

but initially frustrated by limitations placed on

1:50

his role as consult but with victorious

1:52

frequent pregnancies, Albert's able to become an

1:54

effective co monique over single household, having

1:56

meetings with government ministers, in playing of

1:58

a public role, promoting guys. The warming

2:00

and endeavors our the incessant however

2:02

the incessant hard work, compassionate but

2:04

and estrus relationship and factoid thanks

2:06

it's toll on Albertson becomes prematurely

2:08

aged, probably suffering from depression at

2:10

the long term health condition ages

2:12

eighty one, increasing me on well

2:14

he develops a fever after visit

2:16

to his eldest son following a

2:18

reported in discussion, and his condition

2:20

gradually deteriorates on Albert dying on

2:22

the fourteenth and send but eight

2:24

and Sixty One of the H

2:26

just forty two. So that

2:29

was Albert. Survive for yeah, let's get

2:31

on to the scoring. Whoop!

2:35

This is interesting. Well, as a military man

2:37

the that he does have a little bit

2:39

of a legacy military matters. So when the

2:41

Duke of Wellington retired as Commander In Chief

2:43

of the Armed Forces and eighteen Fifty Two

2:45

proposed Albert should succeed him in the post.

2:48

Boy. Because. These permanent. Person.

2:51

But it isn't it, it's essence Indeed

2:53

alba is also as the danger of

2:56

to overthrow an intrusion into government affairs

2:58

by being Commander in Chief of the

3:00

Offices Africa want. To

3:02

see about Commander in Chief of the

3:05

Armed Forces physically giving him the nuclear

3:07

busted assess as well. He won't be

3:09

like it's not like he'll be the

3:11

field Marshal directing the military campaign. It's

3:13

more of an administrative i might be

3:16

caught, Could have weddings and probably saw

3:18

a old modernize. In

3:20

some sort of bureaucratic, the minister's boss your

3:22

office and directing where they put the guns.

3:25

But. Still like this. Eat that? Yes. Be

3:27

careful. Let a stuff that he just don't

3:29

know. Let's see, how are we spending so

3:31

much on cooks? This is an army. Three

3:36

to conceal. For that he does. I hope

3:38

to create the Army's first ever permanent training

3:40

Carson and Aldershot and eighteen Fifty four understand

3:42

that Stalinist A asked oh it's an hour

3:44

to close interest in the gas in the

3:46

town that grows around as a result. So

3:49

they build whoop a billion with a two

3:51

day when attending with he's the only and

3:53

Alba establishment out the Prince Councils library and

3:55

eighteen. Sixties contributing extension of soldiers and

3:57

so donated the thousand bucks and plate.

4:00

Construction and day to day running costs Months.

4:04

Otherwise I'll but not amount of actual

4:06

fighting. but in this series on the

4:08

Consorts, we're looking for a sort of

4:10

fighting spirit. Your Independence Election Agency exact

4:12

a Monday and in that case Albert

4:15

is ticking over boxes. Okay, so when

4:17

he came to Britain, the politicians tonight,

4:19

I'm a title or place in the

4:21

House of Lords. Victoria refused to sell

4:23

discuss matters a state. With him leaving.

4:26

the Royal Household is run by Be

4:28

Toys Old Covenant down as lazy and

4:30

he still enjoys great influence as Victoria.

4:32

They have a private. Passes linking their

4:34

rooms, latency prices, the courts and with

4:37

the arrival of first whoa baby is

4:39

towards of nursery. Oh

4:41

okay. So that's the

4:44

of the role that if the roles

4:46

are reversed with p the queen would

4:48

be. Or. Other, the queen

4:50

consort would be in charge of the household

4:53

yeah and he has any. Gotta get noticed.

4:55

He would expect sort of in a like

4:57

her and that accompanied expect that. The console

4:59

I guess is the executive. Ten.

5:01

As someone doing maybe the dice dice.yes

5:04

but in this case laziness, executive hundred

5:06

a day and Albert spice span as

5:08

lesson. So he thought that she had

5:10

warped victorious. As.

5:12

A child has her faults he says.

5:14

so over the place health healthy you.

5:18

Described her as an old hag, a crazy

5:20

stupid entry, the obsessed with the first a

5:22

power he regards herself as a demi. It

5:24

is a simple power struggle then, but it's

5:27

quite a small one when eve try it.

5:29

Went when he's setting up Crystal Palace and

5:31

brother was pheasants. As if he must think

5:33

about out argue with the pursue ranges when

5:36

the part is delivered Is a very small

5:38

bear yes, but he's got to deal with

5:40

the porridge before we can get you know.

5:42

exhibition. Face is cutting his teeth her

5:45

infant great pool with their album is

5:47

upset. When Laysan appointed to the earnest

5:49

three a physician, it recent been discredited

5:51

in a public scandal and when the

5:53

first at. Lille

5:55

and eight. Hour for

5:57

spousal was deeply plaisance. Running

6:00

at at any price of a tire

6:02

Doctor Clark is mismanaged the child and

6:04

poisoned her with Callum out. A

6:07

dude starter. I still have nothing more to do

6:09

with it. Take the child way induce you like

6:11

him. If he dies you will have it on

6:13

your conscience. Big

6:15

was. So reluctantly

6:17

Victoria greece to give weighs about as lazy

6:19

as persuaded to retire on the grounds of

6:21

ill health And thereafter Albert has full control

6:24

the oil household. Okay,

6:27

I. Mean probably right? For

6:29

the sake of the. Family.

6:32

But. It's a whole

6:34

it's it's it's crazy the world and

6:36

that we these prince consort not quite

6:38

prince consort the his take on women's

6:40

work not be lucky that do a

6:42

bloke was going on anyway. Battle.

6:44

Want and amount spent. This in terms

6:46

of the Munchkins itself, it was again

6:48

the Iraq Iran. As with children, That

6:51

sort of turns things into Albus favor.

6:53

So with the birth of the Key,

6:55

the eighteen Forty Regency Act designate Albert's

6:57

returns in the events of Victoria died

6:59

for. Child. Reaches a majority

7:02

and eight pounds him to rule without

7:04

an advisory council was as getting more

7:06

pals and previous potential regions that had.

7:08

Art. And be

7:10

to is near constant pregnancies and some

7:13

says it's probably postnatal depression. Limited capacity

7:15

to fulfill her duties as all times

7:17

so she's intermittently take him out of

7:19

circulation. Maria yes and so that not

7:22

to seek his album an opportunity step

7:24

into the great and he vanished the

7:26

lights in the money shot public administration

7:29

quickly demonstrators ability to them effectively. The

7:32

once he's given the chance of as I can

7:34

see his computer this. He

7:37

replaces Lord Melbourne. His victim is piped

7:39

sectarian soon though some just nothing of

7:42

a business. He drafting a correspondence and

7:44

he is. He is essentially making key

7:46

decisions. Either with own

7:48

to for. That probably

7:50

co rulings blue the both in private

7:53

and public. The scene effectively the to

7:55

monarchy so he sits beside to say

7:57

totally opponents He holds public audiences alongside.

8:00

They receive ministers together in private.

8:03

And and they know that. He speaks

8:05

for both as a y de so I

8:07

see full time clock of the Privy Council

8:10

Charles Gravel noted that they were both starting

8:12

to say we think or we wish and

8:14

but in this guy's not just meetings the

8:16

royal way but literally. Yeah, I

8:18

and he and a deep level concluded

8:20

that they were now one person and

8:22

as he likes business, it is obvious

8:25

that while she has the title, he

8:27

is really discharging the functions of the

8:29

sovereign. He is kings to all intents

8:31

and purposes. And

8:35

rothys happy with it, but you know,

8:38

some up at an agency, independents, that,

8:40

etc and influence. He's gone from being

8:42

denied any things he was. he's got

8:44

control of the royal household, is. That

8:47

very least effectively job on it. and

8:49

probably. The. Dominant force in

8:52

actually sort of managed to make himself

8:54

in charge or without shop and first

8:56

alerted help. Haven't gotten s. I.

9:02

A saw that all as all good battling the

9:05

South on the console. Despite that. People.

9:07

Without they have you. how do

9:09

not score that as a perfect

9:11

ten? When he's not all powerful

9:13

and all things and he probably

9:15

was still have felt frustrated at

9:17

the limitations that he wasn't able

9:19

to overcome. So bone stock Mall

9:21

his Uncle Leopold Secretariat I've seen

9:23

the latter part of Alberta education

9:25

and means preparing him to be

9:27

something of a benevolent dictator. Seven

9:29

Modern Prince it exercises executive power

9:31

asks now that be relevant for

9:33

the Germanic.season lot of other European

9:35

monarchies, but it. Doesn't really appreciate all

9:38

the changes that happen in Britain as glorious

9:40

revolution in which is really the politicians real.

9:43

So as alba and toy to

9:46

have an influence. but. They're.

9:48

Not making. The. Big decisions sets

9:50

the politicians alba probably seems bit

9:52

of a nuisance. That. Times

9:54

in I see. Okay, so he's

9:57

not important enough. These on their

9:59

radar. Not that he can give

10:01

them orders to. he's more he who

10:03

must not be ignored rather than he

10:05

surveyed. The

10:07

iron Wilson Riley noted that when the

10:10

that one of the Prime Minister's Lord

10:12

Aberdeen sold Balmoral to Albert, these himself

10:14

would have been proud of himself if

10:16

he had persuaded workaholic prince to purchase

10:19

a holiday home almost as far from

10:21

Westminster as it is possible to be

10:23

in the main on the prison. Ah

10:25

chee certainties of affair with the rounded

10:28

up. What what he says when. I

10:30

say ice is just an. At

10:32

places where the story in ah

10:34

back and saying you know, even

10:36

the arts. I see.

10:39

Yes, manipulate a T would have

10:41

hatters doctors cap it this way.

10:43

it's going to be what? Why

10:45

don't you try Balmorals I hear

10:47

a bit far away as it

10:49

is Sonia hunting skills. As

10:53

problem foreign policy that Albert certain limitations and

10:55

most evidence So when Aberdeen was foreign Secretary

10:58

even though they put on quite well the

11:00

more but trying to interfere the more Albert

11:02

withheld state papers said we'd even take the

11:04

just not sending them. To. Alba until

11:07

the decision had already been in act. Basically.

11:10

Just our to hang own and

11:12

on the bus or the. Our

11:15

happiness pretty well, but inaction fifties or

11:17

was it comes to dominate. And.

11:23

Past and is an unashamed break.

11:27

Okay, so more assertive regency figure them

11:30

Victorian when it comes to morals A

11:32

still very much the charm. The slacker.

11:34

The ladies. She's a witness in a

11:36

divorce case in his eighties. Oh

11:39

oh oh ah ah with

11:41

those times and he's widely

11:43

popular in the nation as

11:45

the steam go a stick

11:48

figure he's I proudly pussies

11:50

British interests first. Rhythms.

11:52

Of anything else not supposed lots to Albus

11:54

European outlook is trying to sort of in

11:56

a further the cause of humanity. Yeah sponsors

11:58

like don't care. So that Britain

12:01

swear on desolate M. I'm deathly. An

12:03

album and an egg Thomas it's I

12:05

do like those characters his would have

12:07

been avenged lot of would have had

12:09

some European cohesion. At

12:11

this point. What? Would have

12:13

the have done for the trajectory over

12:15

the to to century. One.

12:19

To ponder, I mean the himself to spin written about

12:21

with. To an ac,

12:24

Forty eight, Alberta suppose when Palmerston

12:26

declares the sympathy for the various

12:28

publican revolutions movements spread across Europe.

12:31

And then we have the build up

12:33

to Crimean War Weapons really does play

12:35

on Albus on popularity in the country

12:37

to improve his own business and government

12:39

so colts very much our expense. Was.

12:44

Towed, despite having councils against for when

12:46

it does com, Albert throws himself into

12:48

devising strategies for victory. He writes voluminous

12:51

memoranda, and of course, the government to

12:53

signals rejects all of it. Was

12:56

any that sensible? Oh yeah some of it they

12:58

do actually sort of end up doing but not

13:01

because our but suggested that just because they try

13:03

something else and then think I should do this

13:05

flower but side a business didn't read. It. To.

13:08

A that Vegas still claim it. Ah

13:12

his particular ambition phone posts alba is

13:14

to insulin secretion be unified to put

13:16

Germany. And is also unsuccessful

13:18

so he thought mowing his eldest

13:20

daughter is basically trained for the

13:22

role and meringues the tram probably

13:25

the key to unlocking the door

13:27

but he is disappointed in our

13:29

guard you might expect Stances plans

13:31

for new Constitution. Nord

13:34

and so is basically concluded. just

13:37

a bit naive and thinking a

13:39

that is so young daughter to

13:41

tip the scales away from Prussian

13:43

militarism. And send tools com

13:45

esses month of Autism. He knows that.

13:48

I'm is Marcus about the on the same

13:50

but equally he doesn't really appreciate that he's

13:52

not actually that. Influential. In

13:55

What's going on? Since So Ortiz is

13:57

my M Seven obsession with absolute. The.

14:01

In everything but apps that in everything

14:03

but title makes me a thing of

14:05

great person. To. Dominant force

14:07

in a blow to the time. And

14:10

right that movie, ten census on an

14:12

assault weapon Germany. It

14:14

is the Dc. Is. Got

14:16

their home countries work on the on passport. Muscle

14:19

Palmerston! Thanks. Isn't that

14:21

at the helm of of people? And.

14:24

He said he round two mikes of saying what it

14:26

you him. When. He gun when he

14:28

to a bit more like this since it's a

14:30

well he should be tell you how to make a

14:32

that Apple products made while. He

14:34

hasn't taken over. Not a knock is still kicking off when

14:37

he should be trying to. Do.

14:39

Islands' Sorted

14:42

announces that his assistants but basically Alba

14:44

is the he's able to sell love

14:46

Him so it's a home to various

14:49

things, but he's not. He's an all

14:51

powerful in all things. Well

14:54

I think that's just miss.

14:56

A. Tried power he'd a.

14:59

Come. From a session of being. In

15:02

charge of Braintree to sit counselors B

15:04

C S. To. Being

15:06

on the edge of power everyone saying night i

15:09

or less bitter for this you are a bloke

15:11

we go to be really careful. Oh told arrives

15:13

is basically king. Then

15:15

he doesn't start looking at was going. It's only

15:17

that. But. I

15:19

think he fails. There is never gonna. They.

15:22

Don't listen To the Uk. Wish they listen

15:24

to them so. He's.

15:26

Done all he can has conquered only can and

15:29

noticed that of. Punching. At the

15:31

glass ceiling. I

15:33

said he could ever smash. No one at

15:35

this point is gonna go back in time

15:37

and as. An. Absolute monarchy I guess

15:39

though is useful. My if we didn't have

15:42

those examples we just the on wow when

15:44

he just completely set control and it was

15:46

just the Century of Alba and he was

15:48

his was the only voice that mattered. Biloxi

15:50

when you see others but with I cannot

15:52

say they're probably quite low Verizon politicians like

15:54

know the letter from Albert to a reply

15:56

to do it and then tell him off

15:59

to it's here. We've got a lot

16:01

of influence. And. He's of the had

16:03

established themselves so yeah think good passing the split us

16:05

that that there is a limit to it so easily.

16:08

Not. Get too carried away and how implements

16:10

least? because clearly. But. In

16:12

terms of fighting to be in a place where

16:14

you can even have a voice. Is.

16:18

Pretty good. She's still shouting even when they're

16:20

not listening if whether or not let. yeah,

16:22

I mean if they have that, have to

16:24

sort of much as the tables are turned

16:26

in this era. queen consort for to go

16:28

from Braintree to sit council to. Queen.

16:30

Of Great Britain and co ruling with

16:33

of the Monique pretty blunt a good

16:35

of and even when no one's listening

16:37

to her anymore still. Himself

16:39

saying I see is pretty goods I guess

16:42

is him with the of my guess is

16:44

some of the stuff of the politicians. It's

16:46

like a see like this incredibly powerful force

16:48

in the policies of like all got our

16:50

but I just be able to resist or

16:52

is it the he's just chapter talking talking

16:54

talking this a in I think we just

16:56

leave the room him to carry on yeah

16:58

it's that. give it give him a task

17:00

that the greatest exhibition and it goes really

17:02

well. I've seen Wellington's point see have been

17:04

good at it. He. Now

17:06

has that he had the title in the

17:08

power wants to do so with it and

17:10

of is depressed that he picks the radio.

17:13

Had lyric about this book group of was

17:15

a Power when you get that so so.

17:18

So so disappointing if bought a messy messy

17:20

does have agency does secure low power from

17:22

sell that was initially been denied from. The

17:25

it's really really good. Because.

17:28

As I say it with what else kids are at this time.

17:32

He I probably as for the a

17:35

school and agencies taking. Them

17:37

taking control waves being denied him. I think

17:39

nothing of the the fact that nobody wants

17:41

to hims have any influence your the politicians

17:44

not him in the title you got that

17:46

governess. Route. Running the household,

17:48

you have a choice. I actually I am

17:50

the queen so yeah yeah. keeps them least like.

17:53

I don't think so. And. Ends up. Ruling.

17:56

And has dead and a does

17:58

get the time. The learned something

18:01

from you. I will go for

18:03

night that sixteen to emptiness. Ausmus

18:06

Retina. Scan. Solely

18:09

none is not really his thing know scandal

18:11

but he doesn't want us out raise the

18:13

price are every now and again so I

18:15

will. I'll put it out that fool you

18:17

and. Them out

18:19

many people listening but have must I

18:21

saw any form of something but victorious.

18:23

Ah seems like critical Albert because he

18:26

was a bad spot. Okay,

18:29

So instead of using a trained sounds

18:31

sent via Aberdeen and to seek out

18:33

of says he just had one of

18:35

his men by the life want to

18:37

then really sit. Through. To

18:40

the hounds to cats. Oh.

18:43

Oh. Oh, so many caught one of the riverbank,

18:45

put it back, said a coat and they let

18:47

it fade a little less. It free. Dot.

18:50

In the imminent company is some

18:52

pounds specifically. Price. To

18:54

ah, it's it's business.

18:57

And. Simulated better example of this is

18:59

them when he went to this talking

19:01

were meant to of course as he

19:03

track it across miles and miles of

19:05

mountainous country. Am

19:08

or eat and was escapist. Drive

19:10

down enclosed area. And. Then start

19:12

eating with. This that

19:14

is seen as baseball and he's criticized in

19:16

the press. Hard to see I thought when

19:18

he said bad boy as it meant that

19:20

at sports snow. Ah well I mean I

19:23

guess that sort of part of his houses

19:25

those but sir that his best is dies

19:27

bats ball is in the state removing the

19:29

challenges. Literally. And metaphorically

19:31

bansal. I get some His perspective is

19:33

not for this is so much more

19:35

efficient. The hear the point

19:37

is to hunt the animal. Yes, yes, we

19:39

got them all together. These it's

19:41

cats. Yeah, Put. Them in a

19:44

field with sties and they live in those

19:46

and where we want. We can drive him

19:48

into factory for slaughter. This is much more

19:50

efficient. Special Forces I that's what mean. I

19:52

think that he doesn't like his lack of.

19:55

It doesn't understand that side of

19:57

doing things with. The

19:59

nevertheless it is it off the complete

20:01

yeah and. Because of

20:03

his couch or he ends up doing and quite a

20:06

barbaric way. But. Now

20:09

I'm more exciting to the bad press came

20:11

the build up to the Crimean War as

20:13

you today allow them to toy as diplomatic

20:15

solution when the Russians had a task is

20:17

squadron the Ottomans in the ultimate and on

20:19

the back in Britain and France against them.

20:22

So it all sticks and and sentiment went

20:24

Palmerston sorry months whips out in the country

20:26

now but finds himself portrayed in the process.

20:28

Someone without with stomach the war and part

20:30

of the Austrian built and Coburg all your

20:32

own could. Speak: plotting with German relatives

20:35

keep England out of the war. Room

20:37

is even start to swell that Albert

20:39

is going to be put on trial

20:41

for treason. That

20:44

pressed and off with nonsense up than

20:46

thou but himself confined to stop months

20:48

he was scarcely credit. The my being

20:51

committed to the Tower of London was

20:53

believed all over the country may even

20:55

that the Queen has been noticed It.

20:59

So. Generally people like gathering outside the

21:01

tower. Thinking now but was

21:03

in the oven it's it is. This is always

21:05

be the ways that we just the press to

21:07

spank from the could unity of people who. And

21:10

it was worth accurately. Yeah, So

21:13

obviously complete and total nonsense. But it was bad

21:15

enough the house of parliament it as a to

21:17

publicly from their trust and gusto. Against

21:20

him of course is the fact that he

21:23

absolutely a ball scandal is got pathological horror

21:25

at the very notion of promiscuity. Answer's no

21:27

interest in any other woman apart from Victoria.

21:33

And that so I think, evidenced

21:35

scandal. He had scandals thrust

21:37

upon him. And

21:40

he batted away thing. Is

21:45

that was a point. That. thing on commuting

21:47

with. No.

21:49

Me either. Zero

21:53

right now. Move on to consider

21:55

was he says his main categories:

21:58

subjectivity buffers what occurred with. You

22:02

haven't heard about Number Crispy? Yes,

22:04

Well, then you probably haven't heard

22:06

the sweet silence. Asks asks.

22:11

Go try for yourself to hear

22:13

the best not sound you've ever.

22:18

Since. This is wow

22:20

that really lays out his stall. Mrs.

22:24

Is that does he helped person a

22:26

new style of moral monarchy that still

22:28

largely the muddle really for the winds

22:30

is today. Via. A sort

22:32

of feels like this is kind of the beginning

22:34

of what we had. Recognizes what the royal family

22:37

does, that he rejects the dissolute hum of air

22:39

into the calm before the royal family now will

22:41

appeal to and lead the middle classes. Yeah.

22:44

The newly and franchise for the masses

22:46

and it does so by presenting itself

22:48

as middle class. So these

22:50

are his mouth appreciate: Strong work ethic,

22:53

close knit family self improvement at Thrift.

22:56

The. Answer is going to the that he's

22:58

throwing tells me to suggested the much

23:00

of what we think of as Victorian

23:02

might be better termed Albert isn't. He

23:06

her. He. And his his

23:08

character and and idea of the side

23:10

of that is the a. Dar.

23:13

Greece. Movies obsessed Victoria which

23:15

is the other side of Victoria

23:17

is the history out of in

23:20

Pretoria Victorian isn't was the let

23:22

the both as how our but

23:24

modernizes and streamline soil finances so

23:26

he make significant developments in the

23:28

revenues. The.sea como. Oh

23:30

yes, can causes major we're we're was

23:32

nice and other measures said as a

23:34

model dairy farmer, winter months quickly turns

23:37

profit from the oh oh. Not.

23:40

This of models I'm into our know if

23:43

it's. Nice. Isn't

23:45

it fit for us? If we will,

23:47

It's a very realistic out of us

23:49

a British. Her milk is amazing. That

23:51

but all of these measures mean that

23:54

the Royal family is able to purchase

23:56

Osborne House and the Isle of Wight

23:58

about Mon in Scotland through their own

24:00

read these Melvin the proper vanilla ice.

24:03

Nice. Yeah they also make for

24:05

these houses perfect rule retreat for this that

24:08

to family life Albert wants to create an

24:10

project so Balmoral gives the outdoor lifestyle tough

24:12

not the children. While Osborne house he sets

24:14

up Swiss cottage where the children learn cooking

24:17

shopping informing tendons said the Royal family seems

24:19

providing stability in continuity really for the first

24:21

time since the early days of to to

24:24

third print Charlotte of yeah was at that

24:26

big family and try to present the moral.

24:30

Moral. Picture said. The family stages musical evenings

24:32

to put on tape. Shows go to the

24:34

circus build snowmen in the winter. Yeah,

24:36

just the sort of regular. Family.

24:39

Stuff He asked that doing it but

24:41

they're also showing that they're doing it.

24:43

Yeah, So

24:45

Alba is something of appeal.

24:47

Gareth. Hence his

24:50

meltdown when a success of the

24:52

last year in Ireland. So

24:55

he embraces new technology of photography so

24:57

says informal pictures of the family. So

25:00

he seizes up traditional images of pump

25:02

and pageantry so they they're not shown

25:04

wearing clowns and know the boy regalia,

25:06

the just wearing. Saw. Been

25:08

a fairly ordinary class aka someone actually Claxon

25:10

rec fact wow But would be to say

25:13

that he introduces Christmas tree to Britain. oh

25:15

you know when they lead said the early

25:17

as well So it is technically Queen Charlotte

25:20

tools with as well as though he just

25:22

mentioned to first brings it to Britain but

25:24

at that point it was only really customary

25:26

within royal circles is not become a big

25:29

thing yet. but it's Albert's arrival that really

25:31

sees. The. Christmas tree Become.

25:34

A popular. O

25:36

K S S S to I think it

25:38

still can. Kind of Clay Eric he makes

25:40

a thing isn't the first time to tonight

25:42

but he's the new makes a think of

25:44

that. Other gems have done it before his

25:47

As or I missed it's that is Cats

25:49

on in the Uk because of his ear

25:51

To the cover of the A scene Forty

25:53

Eight Illustrated London News depicts Victoria and Albert

25:55

in a small children all gathered around decorate

25:57

a Christmas tree, presents underneath creepy mama, a

25:59

red hood. That going. To

26:01

make an but asked that becomes like

26:03

the definitive image of what traditional Christmas

26:06

he looks like. A

26:08

at the time successful. so you're still

26:10

the got few these of Victorian yeah

26:12

cultural things around that period. that's still

26:14

with an unreleased leap on. So for

26:16

of does he was gonna say he

26:18

sucks. And

26:21

Ali slept with us affect.

26:25

How the always my name means to starling

26:27

substance. So he saw the monarchies having a

26:29

central role in steering the nation's he this

26:31

period extraordinary chain. So he advocates new technologies

26:34

but also. The. Social Conscience. So

26:38

one of his first benches in public life

26:40

comes nation forty when becomes the President of

26:42

the Society for The Of Slavery. Nice.

26:45

So Britain had boasted slave trade

26:47

in eighty know seven and slavery.

26:50

A rootless concept I see thirty three

26:52

but still no for most of lead

26:54

our side of the percent positive French

26:57

and Spanish Portuguese cetera. so years the

26:59

many compliments British society and indeed you

27:01

the politicians still actively engaged on it

27:03

and from owning slaves or the slave

27:05

trade away some. People. Miss.

27:09

So. We go Nazis, not sort of preaching to

27:11

the converted. Hey, this isn't completely after the fact

27:13

and it's just you know, A

27:16

pointless endeavor is still and activists

27:18

you need. My blog has the

27:20

Trade center. I guess market

27:22

tobacco is it bad that will not binding

27:24

it and a so no one phone after

27:26

a certain date can buy them see a

27:28

select people smoking or something that. And.

27:32

People from a Geisha so he stated

27:34

in his opening speech president I deeply

27:37

regret at the benevolent and persevering sessions

27:39

of England to abolish that atrocious traffic

27:41

and human beings have not as yes

27:43

let any satisfactory conclusion but I sincerely

27:45

trust of this great country will not

27:47

relax and it's efforts until it is

27:50

finally and forever put an end state

27:52

of thing so repugnant and the spirit

27:54

of Christianity and the best feelings of

28:10

that to I mean he has chance

28:12

to have it set his passenger do

28:14

some stuff if he probably misunderstands Nato

28:16

the role so usually appear ceremonial appointment

28:18

both sailboats like what wealth the size

28:21

model this what is this as a

28:23

he finds a compared to bomb or

28:25

he had study the Cambridge and fact

28:27

everyone Britain's got very limited approach to

28:29

further education got stuck in the past

28:31

so they realize make it usually takes

28:34

mathematics and Catholics is still the substance

28:36

28:42

I'll put into beings to ensure the a

Amazing dollars. Now they're by temperaments

The toil and fewest to the enjoyment

of this world. Saying it was the

30:04

duty of those who wanted the blessings

30:06

of divine providence, enjoy station, wealth and

30:09

education to assist those less fortunate. The

30:11

interests of classes too often contrasted are

30:13

identical and does any ignorance which prevents

36:50

Absolutely huge building easily encompasses the

36:55

I've seen bits of it with treason site.

36:57

Who am I really like him going? this

36:59

is this is actually my job. Where you're

37:01

from, money will shift persevering through. That's all

37:04

it takes an appropriately for what the great

37:06

exhibition was that this is here. This is

37:08

easily the most advanced building of the Victorian

37:11

age. And services, service pumps

37:13

showing unusual and his house and dust

37:15

is the one that dubs it the

37:17

Crystal Palace and that catches the public

37:19

imagination. And that night or impressively given

37:21

it's scale and complexity, the design was

37:23

approved of to just nine days concrete

37:25

foundation laid off the seven weeks in

37:27

just four months later. And

37:30

there was now great and public enthusiasm for

37:32

the exhibition. So nearly two miles of exhibition

37:34

space of over one hundred thousand exhibits and

37:37

fourteen thousand exhibit discuss Britain, the Empire, the

37:39

New. Does he manage to do this without?

37:41

And it's I told you say. Oh

37:44

yeah I think the Syrian with a

37:46

job as litmus a sweat will to

37:49

soft drink company sponsored event. I

37:52

write is quite. I'm naive and

37:54

charming to assume that the that.

37:57

Do. Everything was. Just.

38:00

On and it wasn't covered in promotion.

38:02

Food is like the floor a London

38:32

So the production of cotton popular that

38:34

all the machine setups. he said, what's

38:36

the whole thing. How. Many others

38:38

in Elektra Telegraph's microscopes, air pumps, dorms

38:40

as even some examples of Albert's mobile

38:43

housing for workers. That's more

38:45

like it. Oh no, I don't. Model.

38:47

Houses as an example, Yeah.

38:50

This is because it feels like the

38:52

defining pinnacle of the Victorian A to

38:54

the most grand an ambitious are seeing

38:56

this new A to the advancement of

38:58

progress, you're right at the forefront. Of

39:01

everything, that's right. And the trouble

39:03

is. That salts killed

39:05

him. Is it the open for and

39:07

he had this t what he? he

39:09

was just so full of Victoria and

39:12

stuff he popped it as he had

39:14

at home from victorious at it at

39:16

work. Being Victoria and eight is just

39:18

too much eight heat as. A

39:35

the whole thing was extremely popular, as around

39:37

six million people attended across the hundred and

39:39

forty days it was. I made. Were

39:43

upset about third of the population. Oh.

39:47

And this was in part due to the price

39:49

40:21

Albus sort of the frustrated politician he sewed here

40:23

by much in his best light as a sort

40:25

of civil servants in a cornet. Yeah

40:28

yeah the if I didn't with professional

40:30

good manager but also able to collaborate

40:32

well under my to protect. And.

40:35

And it will finally looked into Firebird. Get some love.

40:37

The while he's ever been accepted by the upper classes

40:39

and elements of the press is much more popular and

40:42

provinces. So. Meeting working and professional

40:44

people he gets a bit more. Love.

40:46

And recognition clearly biased Victoria Notes

40:48

and had our after the grand

40:50

opening. It was great to stay

40:52

in our history and the triumph

40:54

of my beloved helped. An

40:59

exhibition has been present legacy Several wanted

41:01

to find a series of world Fares

41:07

One successfully actually turns a profit of

41:09

one hundred and eighty six thousand pounds.

41:11

Funny. That's another thirty three million pounds

41:14

and twenty twenty three which were huge

41:16

infrastructure mix of is better cetera was

41:18

good for to isn't people that did

41:20

back in for them to got nice

41:22

return an album is determined put the

41:24

money's good you said the organizing committee,

41:26

the royal commission to the exhibition rate

41:28

and fifty one and usually devised just

41:30

keep on going. To change

41:32

is it's focus to be on increasing

41:35

the means of industrial education and extending

41:37

the influence of science and art upon

41:39

productive industry. So

41:42

the body still operates the days that

41:44

princess and is the current president know

41:46

as got a spoon Imperial College and

41:48

since eighty know what one is provided

41:51

post graduate scholarships, the students to study

41:53

and Britain and brought to thirteen Nobel

41:55

prize laureates for been receipts the funding.

41:58

To. Mistreat annually. What's three?

42:00

A Recess Concepts eight young scientists or engineers

42:02

have exceptional promised to be held anywhere in

42:04

the Uk. But aside from from. Everybody.

42:09

And also, yeah fields of science total disbursements

42:11

more than two million pounds a year. Blaming.

42:14

Over. Even more impressively

42:17

than that, Albert

42:19

Rx the an immediate use of profit

42:21

from the Great Exhibition to buy up

42:24

land in South Kensington. As

42:26

he put it and place on it

42:28

institutions to the furtherance of the industrial

42:30

pursuits of all nations. That

42:32

these a lot of your bill after his

42:34

desk as upset as a ten years later

42:36

about Ovi months, his ideas and what he

42:38

wanted. So these are some of the most

42:41

notable. Educational institutions in London.

42:43

So the V in a Science Museum

42:45

of Natural, His Tennessean Cholesterol Gallery, Uphill

42:47

College London, a Cornfield as as well.

42:49

They're all bill in this area The

42:51

Albert's bought up say let's use money

42:53

for the Great Exhibition and put on

42:55

all of these great. Institutions.

42:59

Are like in this Grams I'm Jackie A lot

43:01

now known to South Kensington that the time it

43:04

was dubbed by the press Alba Topless. Kiss

43:07

Partly satirical, but without notice from the

43:09

fact that this is very much his

43:11

legacy and nice and that is quite

43:14

a legacy. A because only like

43:16

it is. I. Do. Despite

43:19

all of the good stuff we just gone

43:21

through, Albert's never particularly popular in the country,

43:23

so you can taste be seen as an

43:25

outsider. This of German Naruto telling everyone what

43:28

to do. Never really have that string this

43:30

cultural norms even speaking German. Improvement. Even

43:34

the that these until families daily life and think

43:36

so close into sinister missile other old. So.

43:39

You have her and one count to make them

43:41

being surrounded by offspring talking helplessly big toys. But.

43:46

It is. This is just a. The

43:49

xenophobia that exists in. This.

43:52

Country or is to outwit. Oh by

43:54

the press one of our great and

43:56

proud history Essence is just cause the

43:58

that is it could if it's sort

44:00

that out for any other new foreign

44:02

members of both only vs all of

44:05

this just sexism, xenophobia. But there's also

44:07

some disquiet a how Alba approaches his

44:09

role as consorts mom or political perspective.

44:11

The David Kennedy installing Talk To The

44:13

Albert wanted to be a sovereign government

44:16

as well as reins on Israeli. Prime

44:19

minister believes that he intended to establish

44:21

caught influence on the ruins of political

44:23

party with perseverance equal to that of

44:25

Joseph third, and talent infinitely greater. To

44:29

some soon as a beam suggested his death

44:31

comes a point inopportune moments and that speculating

44:33

and sort of counterfactual history. The a longer

44:35

lived Albert could have set the monarchy in

44:37

a collision course with Pounds. If he

44:39

when into is that more and more influence

44:42

and control them when the dots of travel

44:44

his opponent to soften the particularly if you

44:46

know if is a grumpy nice work may

44:48

be judgment wouldn't be as good boss. Has

44:51

encountered size and so. So.

44:53

I don't think this is more as I surprising

44:55

of a time have you did a good thing.

44:57

As a M, there's an unfulfilled thing that might

44:59

have happened equally. He might recognize that and avoided

45:01

it. We said how you know he didn't take

45:04

on the. The army

45:06

job with a long as much as and

45:08

and a some the positions had been critical

45:10

of. Alba ended up as an appraiser Palmerston

45:12

as Albus Button on eighteen fifties and it

45:14

becomes by minister at the end is actually

45:17

they get on with better So he says

45:19

I had no idea of his possessing such

45:21

eminent qualities. How fortunate it has been for.

45:23

The country that the queen made such a prince.

45:27

And. On his death, Disraeli declared with Prince

45:30

Albert we have buried our sovereign. This

45:32

German prince is governed England for twenty

45:34

one years with the wisdom and energy

45:36

such as none of our kings has

45:38

ever shown. Here.

45:42

Is. Good news now. Always gonna be

45:44

risky territory for this period. but while

45:46

many of Albus families are sympathetic to

45:48

modern audiences views on imperialism or not

45:51

after the Albert like the toy takes

45:53

a lot of pride in Britain's and

45:55

panel expansion has something of an evangelical

45:58

beliefs in the Benefit precise rules. The

46:00

humanity so he look to the burning

46:02

of the salty division of canals, railways,

46:04

schools and other times he does have

46:07

a son of times have more liberal

46:09

influences. A poll been says of the

46:11

East India Company advocates leniency after they

46:14

can fifty seven Indian Rebellion and also

46:16

Christ the Star of India to reward

46:18

Indian Princess Luna the crown the any

46:21

sort of imperial. Of

46:23

Honor. That. Is created give up.

46:25

But given that the empire was

46:28

happening in his focus seems to

46:30

be on what it can do

46:32

to help from a being like

46:34

an explicit his videos monumental he

46:36

us fundamentally believe that natural say

46:38

to the says his. Phone.

46:41

Role So the Indians and most people

46:43

capable of country independence for themselves to

46:45

say nothing of maintaining it or supremacy

46:48

rest purely upon the circumstances that we

46:50

protect the different races and populations. Can

46:52

mitchell ill usage that replace the poorest

46:54

minas upon the same level before the

46:57

law is the most powerful that showed

46:59

justice with unimpeachable fairness. Oppression is

47:01

out of the custom. Elicit

47:03

just blind to it Than thirty,

47:06

think so. Again as an

47:08

associate his intentions are sort of good that

47:10

you're talking about me and makes oh so

47:12

far as to such and bought aborigines yet

47:15

he is blinds the violence, cultural insensitivity and

47:17

though he does deny as obsolete oppression. And

47:19

as best as has tells me put,

47:22

it is liberal and evangelical belief and

47:24

British rule just find existence an expansion

47:26

of a destructive empire. This curiosity, an

47:28

armchair scholarship resulted in violent colonial expropriation

47:30

of artifacts and other mean love tax.

47:32

So you know, the Great Exhibition is

47:34

very much a demonstration of British imperial

47:36

might and one of it's ties exhibits

47:38

as the infamous coming Nordmann. Yeah.

47:42

When Alba advocates moink nice and international

47:44

outlook for the event explicitly those and

47:46

with says equities of imperialism the products

47:49

of all causes of the global placed

47:51

at our disposal and we have only

47:53

to choose which is the best and

47:56

cheapest for our purposes. By

47:59

what's tricky here. Is that

48:01

a homogenous were? It

48:03

with the first and he had a

48:06

he stays the great efficient that theft

48:08

is bloom in incredible be at that

48:10

I bought the world can see. Okay

48:12

so. Who. They wouldn't be

48:14

a question as. Ah, Explain

48:17

you know Chris of exploitation that time

48:19

mister says standard whoop is really lucky

48:22

that looking at this from a twenty

48:24

first century perspective looking back on Albus.

48:27

Even though this terrible stuff is

48:29

happening, we can hope if he

48:31

isn't that just blind and naive.

48:33

To a least he's going in

48:35

with Titans. Twenty first century values

48:37

suit. It's just resulting in absolutes

48:39

storm of terrible. Blow. The absolute

48:41

opposite Ac protected from a citizen Know that this

48:43

stuff is happening Smith nice some of this stuff

48:45

is happening but I guess it's again it's the

48:47

why he thinks it's happening and what he thinks

48:49

gone wrong. So an interesting always been immense to.

48:53

Say they love and passed. On

48:57

to family to Elements right?

49:02

But we will not than. Mine.

49:04

and kind of of in not I

49:06

can almost see the first that is imperialism

49:09

the best way to go less thanks

49:11

how the rest of it needs Mexico because

49:13

some point keep sending up thing with of

49:15

pressing business and the Molson angles by

49:17

so the guy expressions the celebration of how

49:19

industrialized nations weaknesses. And

49:22

oh right, They.

49:24

Are cool, some rather writing style.

49:26

eighty days. Fifty One

49:28

Thanks for this. Yeah. So.

49:31

Is yeah, isn't all? Go on. conversely. Imperialism

49:34

the Bank of England illegally but that

49:36

I've what I'm unemployment Former a better

49:38

perspective than many yes, which is where

49:40

I think it's helpful reviewing him if

49:43

from this point we the Twenty first

49:45

century does that's different. Point of view

49:47

from many is more similar to the

49:49

or com it was. Finally,

49:52

some of Onto the Alba is something of

49:55

a domestic time. Its. Beloved.

49:57

of familial ties is getting.

50:00

There is no no my seeing his dream

50:02

to the toys, emotional abuse. Oh

50:05

so you have grown. Winter toya comes up

50:07

and at settlements is such a big thing

50:09

is actually the younger a toy was fun

50:12

loving, playful. Point.

50:14

In Devices and Wilson said as

50:16

a fancy exuberance about young Victoria

50:18

energy appetite a passion for dancing

50:20

appeared boundless of i'll bet all

50:22

of these things account of flaws

50:24

that he kind of wants to

50:26

iron out. There who entered

50:29

the marriage with concern at the

50:31

reports of her being incredibly stubborn

50:33

having heard that see the lights

50:35

and caught ceremonies etiquette a trivial

50:38

formalities is a gloomy prospects. Yes

50:41

sir he said of knocks outside ounces

50:43

her and so from the Officer device.

50:45

let's have some bad influences like Melbourne

50:48

Boundless Liaison, the governess, the sepsis himself

50:50

as the significant figure in her life

50:52

and thus is able to use teams

50:55

issue. That were. Or

50:57

escalate. Yeah, I can see that. That said, And.

51:02

A Very. Damaging.

51:05

At ways to. Be.

51:07

In any relationship, she's not always compliance as

51:09

he does sometimes right now. But but users

51:11

can a very. Trivial. Minor

51:14

complaint: something small and to blow up

51:16

but he lacks an emotional intelligence constant

51:18

nice as such, natal depression that probably

51:20

isn't would have said and resentment with

51:23

inherit. Over and the

51:25

fact that he doesn't return to avert device in the

51:27

seat. Next to him thanks

51:29

point and one letter will tell me

51:31

stories too hasty and passionate to not

51:34

hear me out of flies and for

51:36

me to overwhelms me pictures of want

51:38

of trust, ambition Mv, etc etc. Sensitive

51:41

engaging with her when she gets upset our just

51:43

walks away, locks himself and his room and right

51:45

sir a letter about everything she's done wrong so

51:48

often he live in the dressing like dear child.

51:53

So this operating fifty story from the next

51:55

room I try my best to be patient.

51:57

I feel the dreadful waste of my precious

51:59

time and of energy's which should be turned

52:01

to the use of others in mere and

52:04

long recriminations. And.

52:07

So. She's obsessed about things most silk

52:09

nice like but I'm very busy

52:12

months that both so damage don't

52:14

they will laugh so gradually chips

52:16

away have flaws until she becomes

52:18

this series of staring out at

Korea of the public imagination say

52:22

one diane she writes i feel

52:24

has sadly deficient I am and

52:26

how oversensitive, irritable and how uncontrollable

52:28

my temper is When annoyed and

52:30

heard from I improved as much

52:33

as I ought be. Not again

52:35

and again I've come to this

52:37

susceptibility. Performed the best of

52:39

resolutions and explain. It returns to

52:41

the annoyance of that most perfect

52:43

of beings. my dorm husband. Passed

52:47

so when he dies he's always been t

52:50

52:52

to unable to cope but that she sees

52:54

the one that priest be more robust, sees

52:56

a woman carries on sees the one. Of

was doing all this good stuff. But

53:16

this other legacy was this. Version.

53:19

Of Victoria series and were left with

53:21

but I guess there's of in in

53:23

defense of our base. What is probably

53:25

his of these twenty first mindset saying

53:27

that. Doesn't. Have it be like he

53:30

said, they sort of the most damage than the flipside

53:32

when we did by of the for you probably saw

53:34

a bit more from his perspective which was. Aged

53:37

over Victoria told arsenal being and sees

53:39

full of emotion was he doesn't understand

53:41

and it just exhausts seventy throat She

53:43

throws so much at him and demands

53:45

over love and all of this and

53:47

see puts him up on this pedestal

53:49

and and so the my most perfect

53:52

the doors husband's season because he's like

53:54

you will worship me as your god.

53:57

He said once maintenance man and the

53:59

husband particularly point exhausting the him that

54:01

he's put on this area is like

54:03

this isn't really what I'm about. An

54:06

overlay says it's as as. When.

54:09

You to break them down they is it like this.

54:11

Extremists. That magnify. And five,

54:13

yes, it rubbed alone the rice.

54:17

First. Are you so sort of among why if we were

54:19

to or. He. Knows summarize his

54:21

that those that have areas of negatives

54:23

we could say. Ah, Tyranny,

54:25

imperialism and first base. But I'm

54:28

not so that. That

54:30

that's and it's high their character. I

54:32

sit well with him when he trying

54:34

to introduce any gray area into any

54:36

element of those three things because it's

54:39

very his ear. you repeatedly gonna be

54:41

a a two society with the by

54:43

goes on twitter. Poser.

54:45

To be objective, her. Test

54:47

satellites could suffer mean even

54:49

that broadening of. Cambridge.

54:52

Months. Areas of studies. And

54:56

Tesla next and critical and as began

54:58

for the Abolition of slavery sort of

55:00

gets out his deathbed to prevent more

55:03

oil marathon The Great Exhibition in the

55:05

credible legacies had the money to Nobel

55:07

Laureates, all of those incredible museums in

55:10

South Kensington is also to from the

55:12

money That and he says let's spend

55:14

it basically home And yes his idea

55:17

yeah like a to enter the Great

55:19

Exhibition. It is in itself.

55:22

Is the ultimate expression of Victorian. Is

55:24

I'm. Looking for European

55:27

unity? Yeah. Well as we still

55:29

have to put the next to the cross. I.

55:31

Don't Have is all entirely fast. I feel

55:33

it. it feels to be a bit more

55:35

like it might make you liked him less

55:37

but not necessarily the his. Schools.

55:39

had been legacy the on salt. Is.

55:42

Less nothing suddenly be looking at this

55:44

or subjectivity. Would. You want

55:46

to be a subject. What is his legacy

55:48

as the Council of Britain? I don't think

55:50

any less. Next is really affect. Subtle.

55:53

that legacy okay on. So because as

55:56

give me your only reason I need

55:58

to give him. Because.

56:02

We've. Never had attends a subjective zoo discuss

56:04

that recently. No one's ever had four months

56:06

separatists. A thoughts think the sealed weight of

56:08

stuff that he does which as you said

56:10

is not to on the women that anyone

56:13

with the snow and downs of law may

56:15

be done if you'd done that North. Can

56:18

the nuns and the know with nineteenth always

56:20

there the I write I think if we

56:22

looking at as the king has any one

56:24

of all the ones that you done before

56:26

we had better subjectivity. On.

56:28

It is also I the best example we've

56:30

got a I it feels like it was

56:32

traits tend to the and I didn't know

56:34

that known a got ten feels like that's

56:36

a very very true. Response.

56:39

And I'll let you. Tell

56:41

me if anyone has. So. That is

56:44

the perfect twenty for such activity. Brilliant.

56:46

So it on it. Futon it Folks

56:48

on us know. How

56:50

but his consult? The tenth Of February,

56:53

Eighteen, Forty Two, The Fourteenth, December Eighteen

56:55

Sixty One. Twenty One Point Eight, Three

56:57

Years which gets into school. Fourteen Point

56:59

Five. That's. Pretty

57:01

good air it sounds expressive. Rules of is in

57:03

fact that it's a lot less than Victoria Fills.

57:06

I saw he was there for real on with

57:08

our seats deliver twenty years which is pretty here

57:10

as billion. Not

57:12

the photo albums Has nine children

57:14

by Victoria. All. For hims

57:17

survive him tunnels Vivek toy but

57:19

they do i him that he's

57:21

scored eighteen the didn't stay awhile.

57:23

third best overall level with Matilda

57:26

phones. And best A So

57:28

better The Victoria? Yes, because Vittoria, how is a

57:30

couple of her children. From

57:33

he's really was a snacks or

57:35

yes or for devastation that supposed

57:37

to school for our but as

57:39

sixty eight point five eighth which

57:41

places Ham isn't six position overall

57:43

so it's just half a month

57:45

behind Matilda fanbase. I'm surprised it

57:47

says was because he got that

57:49

zero says bachelor holding back if

57:51

we the got a ten has

57:53

given the round the hands of

57:55

the seventy eight point five which

57:57

but agreements that as the be

57:59

so. Yeah, Third, lay behind Isabella,

58:01

France, none of Aquitaine. fun part of

58:04

courses on about the school says he

58:06

had that certain something blasting like see

58:08

the great achievement and star quality that

58:10

week old. As

58:14

it is trickier than I expected. Okay

58:16

well I mean this ah

58:18

yes but it's a it's

58:20

a he wouldn't want to

58:22

that he of it but

58:24

the star quality and lasting

58:26

legacy. Of his passes

58:28

in the said definite yes. Shapes.

58:31

The Mauna sort of blueprints does a wide

58:33

range of impressive stuff. Some was on the

58:36

great Lengths missing so Humphrey might and literally

58:38

tells Reed said he did more to remake

58:40

can reinvent the British monarchy than any modern

58:42

consult. Sunday morning Trump said his mouth bumper

58:45

some some great the most monarchs while and

58:47

Wilson claims has no other figures british rule

58:49

history comparable ability pretzel. the influence of even

58:51

touch isn't. Worth

58:54

hence a big old subject to

58:56

discuss with. Difficult because he wasn't

58:59

the power and people didn't like

59:01

him. yeah I the still

59:03

sort of to fill a he's a particularly

59:05

popular fit over to say I think partly

59:07

cause sucks though is almost everyone sick of

59:09

him? If he had that, think

59:11

that's it. The star quality bet. Is

59:14

almost as becomes. Victoria

59:16

going on. rather irritated. deserving of all

59:19

these monuments guess he doesn't in a

59:21

way he sort of doesn't have much

59:23

Darn close as guess would be the

59:26

one that the work and struggling fast

59:28

the his will make. It appears that

59:30

he's a bit more civil servants is

59:32

not very glitzy. Your story if he

59:35

were given that have to to be

59:37

were kings that. It. Would be

59:39

star quality cause he would be going

59:41

on during this with a bigger crowd

59:43

with a big crowd on assistance of

59:45

a trap and playground near as is

59:47

a revitalized either but he's not kidding.

59:50

He but easy. It would make them closer than

59:53

the As, but it's not kidding. I. Think.

59:55

It definitely has it just how close he

59:57

doesn't matter missing the other things come. Did

1:00:00

you follow that from I think when we're

1:00:02

looking at it if from the vantage points

1:00:04

for don't have any other stuff on of

1:00:06

get earnest are caught in a way I

1:00:08

see effect Yeah Gray just of the does

1:00:10

is very impressive is one of the most

1:00:13

notable. Is always nice Will consuls

1:00:15

as recently as save the modern ones but gymnastic he

1:00:17

is one of the big. Hitters,

1:00:19

it made me all the good stuff

1:00:21

this Victorian it. Person. Is.

1:00:25

That side of the

1:00:27

monarchy and the. drudgery,

1:00:30

Bits and there's. More

1:00:33

leg that Live. Or. Is unfair.

1:00:35

Said. It's unfair to say the all the

1:00:37

good things out but no the bad things

1:00:39

Victoria because like some of this slightly more

1:00:41

toxic elements of their relationship with it does

1:00:43

feel like he goes both ways. That element

1:00:45

like you can see how is that are

1:00:47

see sort of drains the lights off out

1:00:50

of him to cervix turns basically this him

1:00:52

she would air but equally that this would

1:00:54

have the dow a Victoria's kind of his

1:00:56

grace missile was like her morning is sort

1:00:58

of like that was the fulfillment as. Yeah.

1:01:01

And it sucks his legacy is often

1:01:03

but ultimately see reemerge is so in

1:01:05

a way. That. Cameo that there are

1:01:07

Rex actor winning power and I guess he does

1:01:09

have a bit more. About her in

1:01:12

that sense than. It is good he takes

1:01:14

away some of the funny talk of entries on both

1:01:16

of them. She could have been a little bit more

1:01:18

calm and rational if he could be a little bit

1:01:20

less. Sort of money allocated

1:01:22

on trophy com held a rational or they'd

1:01:24

be very effective fair with him being great

1:01:26

detail focused as ministration her been a little

1:01:28

bit more. To

1:01:31

they soon Flynn point they'd been able to

1:01:33

kept both aspects of them than you've really

1:01:35

got. Great pairing. They probably ultimately went completely

1:01:37

one way and than from the of a

1:01:39

1:01:41
