I'm an American with UK roots. I belive that 'Queen Vick' was a wonderful monarch and a wonderful human...this simply states that she was woman. This endears her, again, to me.

I read this and I think this is just somebody trying to make some money by being a little bit fancifull with facts and having a 'disrespectful dig' at the dead. In this case an interesting lady who's lifetime spaned one of the most truely interesting eras in history. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert played a direct role in making the world a better place in her time and ours. How she found time for all this is a time management miracle even by todays standards. She had a husband she was crazy in love with and loads of bambinos - great ! Great woman, Great Queen & Emperess. Obviously Albert was a lucky man and sounds like they really lived a life and enjoyed it.

She was doing with a man who had a ring through his knob end (which is why that particular one is known as a Prince Albert). Of course she was into shagging!!! Duh!

I think that, historically, humans have been falsely over-glorified. The repression of human urges is a testament to the anti-human sentiments that have dominated Western thinking. Instead of trying to model ourselves to something otherworldly, we should embrace our own identity and learn to love our natural (but harmless) tendencies, lest we should suffer self-deprivation.
