Princess Victoria excelled in dancing and singing. Her voice was admired by Mendelssohn. Her sketches and paintings show a true eye for colour and form. She worshipped the stars of ballet, theatre, opera and, most of all, the circus.
Her Prime Minister Lord Melbourne was exhausted by her varied enthusiasms.
The Queen still lives in her letters, diaries, sketches and watercolours.
