Childhood and school

Victoria didn't go to school. She was taught at home. As well as learning languages, Victoria studied history, geography, and the Bible. She was taught how to play the piano and learned how to paint, a hobby that she enjoyed into her 60s

Victorian food

Hot Chocolate Victorian RecipesChocolate or cocoa was not only a beverage for a cold snowy day, but was a favorite luncheon beverage for Victorian ladies. Many, especially those who spent time abroad, also adopted the French habit of breakfasting upon rolls and a cup of hot chocolate. Make your own cup of hot chocolate with one of Baker’s Chocolate favorite recipes from 1886

Prince Albert

Albert Francis Charles Augustus Emmanuel of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was born on 26 August 1819 at Schloss Rosenau, in Bavaria, the younger son of the duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. When he was seven, his father divorced his mother on grounds of adultery, and she was sent to live in Switzerland and forbidden to see her children. Albert was educated at Bonn University. In 1840, he married his cousin, Queen Victoria. The marriage was unpopular in some quarters, and parliament resisted granting Albert what his wife regarded as a suitable allowance.

Workhouse childrenBefore 1834, poor people were looked after by buying food and clothing from money collected from land owners and other wealthy people.

Victorian toysToys in rich homesDuring the 19th century, factory-made toys, including tin toys and clockwork toys, went on sale. Rich children had more toys to choose from: train sets, toy soldiers, rocking horses, dolls and doll's houses, tea-sets and toy shops with toy fruit, vegetables, meat, hats and medicines. Other popular toys were alphabet bricks, sailing boats, jigsaw puzzles and Noah's Arks. In many homes, children were not allowed toys on Sundays - except Noah's Ark, because that was in the bible

Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria was only 18 when she came to the throne and she had a lot to learn. Her reign had a rocky start. She thought that, as queen, she could do as she liked, and she quickly had to learn that she couldn't.
