Queen Victoria Had No One to Call Her by Her First Name

Queen Victoria was almost entirely dependent on the Prince Consort, Prince Albert. When Albert died very young, Queen Victoria was grief-stricken for many years. All her sorrow was summed up by this phrase: “I have no one to call me Victoria now.” She had plenty of people to call her “Your Majesty,” but no one left to do the little personal things which mean so much.
