QUEEN VICTORIA

Orly Borges Personal Collection

A Royal Letter

Alexandrina Victoria (1819-1901) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 to 1901. The following letter was written by her to Lord Selborne in 1885, on the death of his wife.
 

It is for you to whom she was so devoted that I feel so deeply, for to lose the loved companion of one's life is losing half one's existence. From that time everything is different, every event seems to lose its effect, for joy which cannot be shared by those who felt everything with you is no joy, and sorrow is only redoubled when it cannot be shared and soothed by the one who alone could do so.

The longer God has has permitted us to remain together, the more acute must be the agony of separation, and I do most sincerely feel for you.

No children can replace a wife, or a husband, may they be ever so good and devoted. One must bear one's burden alone.
