Queen Victoria of England

Artist: George Hayter  (English, 1792–1871) 

Title: Queen Victoria (1819-1901) 

Genre: Portrait

Date: 1840

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Royal Collection of the United Kingdom

Description

Before his appointment as Queen Victoria’s ‘Painter of History and Portrait’ in 1837, George Hayter had impressed the young Princess with his skill as a portraitist and helped her with her first attempts at oil painting. Hayter was to succeed Sir David Wilkie as Principal Painter in Ordinary to the Queen in 1841. However, he received no royal commissions after 1842 as the Queen came to prefer the work, and personality, of other artists - particularly Sir Edwin Landseer and Franz Xaver Winterhalter. Queen Victoria commissioned this, her State Portrait, from Hayter in 1838. The 19 year-old Queen is depicted as she was at her Coronation in Westminster Abbey on 28 June of that year. Shown seated in her Homage Chair, she wears Coronation Robes and the Imperial State Crown and carries the Sceptre with the Cross.

Hayter’s first background for the painting showed the Queen in Westminster Abbey, but he was to alter this later, placing her in a more generic regal setting. Queen Victoria’s pose, with her upturned face illuminated by a shaft of light, endows the composition with a religious spirit reminiscent of Baroque painting. In fact the day did not proceed smoothly, as the Queen was to relate in her journal. For instance, the Coronation Ring, which had been made to fit her little finger, was forced on to her fourth finger by the Archbishop and the unfortunate Queen had to bathe her hand in iced water after the ceremony before she could remove the ring. There was, according to Lord St John, the Sub-Dean, ‘a continual difficulty and embarrassment, and the Queen never knew what she was to do’. Nevertheless, she described the day as ‘the proudest of my life’.

So what about the leading men? How do you think they would get on with each other? Honestly I'm interested in any and all your cross-universe opinions: heroine/leading man friendships, between the older gents and ladies...

Follow-up to the female version. I find the men harder. And again, I think the heroes would all basically get along because they are all decent people with similar worldviews.

Best Friends:

Charles Bingley & Everyone, this man is friends with Darcy pre-reformation, enough said. Also, him and Sir John Middleton & Charles Musgrove have a special bond and magnificent house parties.

Henry Crawford & Everyone... at first. Then they start to realize what he's really like (except Edmund, takes him longer)

Tom Bertram, Frank Churchill & John Willoughby, disaster pairing

Colonel Brandon & Captain Wentworth, bond over their mutual time in the military. They are also both hopeless romantics. They get drunk and cry one evening about Eliza 1 and how Wentworth should have written Anne sooner.

Fitzwilliam Darcy & Henry Tilney, Henry is the male version of Elizabeth, so obviously Darcy has to bring him home and show his wife.

George Knightley & Fitzwilliam Darcy, Darcy reminds Knightley of Emma, but they mostly bond over estate management.

Henry Tilney, Edmund Bertram, Charles Hayter, and Edward Ferrars, the country clergyman club, Mr. Collins is not invited.

Mentor/Mentee:

Mr. Knightley & Edmund Bertram, Edmund really needs some life advice from someone older and not his father. And we know he won't listen to women, so I hope he'll listen to Knightley.

Captain Wentworth & Lt. William Price, best captain ever!

Henry Tilney & Edward Ferrars, Edward wants some advice on being a clergyman but they also bond over having shitty families.

Bonus: Sir Thomas Bertram & Sir Walter Elliot are both in parliament, they hate each other.

Also, an anon asked the same question basically:

I don't think Henry Tilney would be anyone's mentor except Edward Ferrars, because he's either the same age or younger than most of them. He is the eldest of the country preachers but not by a whole lot. But Edmund is bad at advice taking... All of them should take his advice on flirting but they won't.

Some paintings in the previews look blurry but in the game they're very high definition, it's just because I had to add multiple preview pictures in one picture to be able to upload them all! Also sizes shown in previews are not accurate to the objects' actual sizes in most cases.

Queen Victoria’s Coronation took place on 28 June 1838 at Westminster Abbey. After the event, the Queen made several drawings ‘recollecting’ the Coronation, under the guidance of her teacher Sir George Hayter. In her journal entry of 28 June 1838, Queen Victoria describes how she would "ever remember this day as the proudest of my life". (x)

Sir Frederick William Erskine Nicolson, 10th Baronet Nicolson, depicted as a Royal Navy midshipman by John Hayter and William Sharp.

In an 1807 audience with George III, the British naval hero and Admiral of the Fleet John Jervis, Earl of St. Vincent, complained that too many noble and socially elite midshipman were hurting the service:

I have always thought that a sprinkling of nobility was very desirable in the Navy, as it gives some sort of consequence to the service; but at present the Navy is so overrun by the younger branches of nobility, and the sons of Members of Parliament, and they swallow up all the patronage, and so choke the channels to promotion, that the son of an old Officer, however meritorious both their services may have been, has little or no chance of getting on.

Quoted by Samantha A. Cavell in Midshipmen and Quarterdeck Boys in the British Navy, 1771-1831.

St. Vincent himself came from relatively humble beginnings, and Captain Taprell Dorling described his hardships as a midshipman in his book Men o' War:

We are told by some of St. Vincent's biographers that twenty pounds was all that his father could afford for his son's outfit and pocket money, and that, for the next five or six years, he was forced to live in a state of penury... he is said to have exchanged from ship to ship to obtain his pay tickets, which he cashed at 40 per cent. discount; to have sold his bedding and slept upon the bare deck; sometimes to have made and mended his own clothes; invariably to have done his own washing; never to have eaten fresh meat, and to have bartered what he could save of his scanty sea service rations for fruit and vegetables.

It's understandable that the Admiral St. Vincent might not have been too fond of highly privileged young gentlemen.

The Kensington System

The Kensington System was a strict and elaborate set of rules designed by Victoria, Duchess of Kent, along with her attendant, Sir John Conroy, concerning the upbringing of the Duchess's daughter, the future Queen Victoria. It is named after Kensington Palace in London, where they resided prior to Queen Victoria's accession to the throne. The System was aimed at rendering the young Princess Victoria weak and dependent. 

Princess Victoria at age four

8 rules of the ‘Kensington System’ that governed Queen Victoria’s childhood

1. Victoria was not allowed to spend time by herself and she always had to sleep in her mother’s room.

2. Victoria could not walk downstairs without holding the hand of an adult in case she fell. (It sounds melodramatic, but Victoria did actually confirm in later life that this was a rule she had to abide by.)

3. Victoria was not allowed to meet any strangers or third parties without her governess being present.

4. The young Victoria had to write in a ‘Behaviour Book’ how well she’d behaved each day, so that her mother could assess her progress. Sometimes it was good, sometimes “VERY NAUGHTY”.

5. Victoria could only appear in public on carefully stage-managed ‘publicity tours’. This was to distance her from the unpopular regime of her uncles, Kings George IV and William IV, and to present her as “the Nation’s Hope”.

6. Victoria was not allowed to dance the scandalous and intimate new dance called the waltz, not even (as is often said) with other royal relations. She would never waltz until married to Prince Albert.

7.  Victoria had to build up her strength by exercising with her Indian clubs [a pair of bowling-pin-shaped wooden clubs] and a machine with pulleys and weights and was mandated to have plenty of fresh air. She would be a life-long devotee of open windows, to the extent that her courtiers would always be shivering.

8. The young Victoria was not allowed to gorge on her food. She was allowed to eat bread with milk and plain roast mutton, and was restricted from eating her favourite things: sweetmeats and fruit.
