QUEEN VICTORIA’S TWITTER ACCOUNT

To celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II the Royal Archives has created a website and Twitter account with exerts from the official diaries of Queen Victoria.

The Twitter feed is a constantly updating feed of interesting facts and information. I recommend anyone with a Twitter account to check it out!

The website also contains scans of the actual diaries and sketches. It’s a wealth of information not to be missed. 

A message from HM Queen Elizabeth II

In this the year of my Diamond Jubilee, I am delighted to be able to present, for the first time, the complete on-line collection of Queen Victoria’s journals from the Royal Archives.

These diaries cover the period from Queen Victoria’s childhood days to her Accession to the Throne, marriage to Prince Albert, and later, her Golden and Diamond Jubilees.

Thirteen volumes in Victoria’s own hand survive, and the majority of the remaining volumes were transcribed after Queen Victoria’s death by her youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice, on her mother’s instructions.

It seems fitting that the subject of the first major public release of material from the Royal Archives is Queen Victoria, who was the first Monarch to celebrate a Diamond Jubilee.

It is hoped that this historic collection will make a valuable addition to the unique material already held by the Bodleian Libraries at Oxford University, and will be used to enhance our knowledge and understanding of the past.

Ahhh. So amazing.

ah yes! If I’m not mistaken this was taken in 2007 to mark their diamond wedding anniversary.

The most amazing Queen and Consort in the world. Hands down.
