From 1840 to 1882, Queen Victoria managed to survive SEVEN assassination attempts. Lauren dives into these crazy stories, plus another brush with death the Queen had as a teenager, in our final chapter on the Burned Letters of Queen Victoria.

After the death of her husband, Queen Victoria disappeared from the public spotlight for YEARS. Rumors of insanity and abdication started to grow. When she finally made a reappearance, the public was incensed to learn that the Queen had been spending a lot of her time away with a mysterious Scotsman named John Brown.

In 1905, the new King of England, Edward the Seventh, was blackmailed. If he didn’t pay an undisclosed amount of money, 300 letters from his late mother Queen Victoria would be released to the public. After paying up, Edward promptly lit the documents on fire. And surprisingly, this was not the first (or last) time one of Victoria’s children destroyed documents belonging to their mother. What in the world was the family trying to hide?
