Queen Victoria & The French Royal Families

Queen Victoria & The French Royal Families

Throughout the six decades of Queen Victoriaâ€™s reign, France underwent immense political changes, fluctuating between monarchies, empires and republics. Relations between Britain and France were equally variable, as the shadow of Napoleon Bonaparte still hung over the collective memory, and it was widely believed on both sides of the Channel, that one day his successors would attempt to avenge the defeat of Waterloo. Against this background, Queen Victoria was forced to navigate the tumultuous waters of international relations, balancing her personal feelings with her role as a constitutional monarch. Despite the mistrust between Britain and France, and the animosity between the OrlÃ©ans and Bonaparte families, she succeeded in forming firm friendships with both King Louis Philippe dâ€™OrlÃ©ans, and Napoleonâ€™s nephew, Emperor Napoleon III without compromising her position as Queen.
