Queen Victoria's diaries to
go online
Queen Elisabeth has put a
document about the life of her great- great- grandmother Queen Victoria on a
website. The diary contains more than 40,000 pages. Victoria had written this diary from the age
of 13 until her death. She had written about her love for Prince Albert,
describing her wedding day on February 10 1840: "Albert repeated everything
very distinctly. I felt so happy when the ring was put on, and by my precious
Albert." Queen Elisabeth said
"This is a part of history’’. ‘’It is such an exciting moment, when you
can unlock history and make it publicly available’’. Bodleian librarian Sarah
Thomas asked Queen Elisabeth if she had also keeping a diary all these years.
She said yes, but "Mine's not being published."
Queen Elisabeth has done something
great, because I think that there are a lot of people that are very curious and
wanted to read more about the life of her great- great - grandmother Queen
Victoria. The Queen has written about her childhood days, the day that she became
Queen and about the marriage with Prince Albert. It is also nice for the
grandchildren to be able to read about the life of their grandmother. To know
what kind of life she had. I wish that I had something like that from my
grandmother. I cannot even remember something of her.
