Queen Victoria: 6 stories from her diaries

Having taken the throne, Victoria had to propose marriage to her cousin Prince Albert, not the other way around. She did so on Oct. 15, 1839. "At about ? p.12, I sent for Albert," the queen wrote on the day. "He came to the Closet where I was alone, and after a few minutes I said to him, that I thought he must be aware why I wished them to come here,- and that it would make me too happy if he would consent to what I wished (to marry me); we embraced each other over and over again, and he was so kind, so affectionate... I really felt it was the happiest brightest moment in my life."
