She was in fact once very vibrant and lovely, with an arresting personality and huge amounts of energy for music, dancing and staying up late. Born in , Victoria was a fat, jolly baby, who as a toddler had the most appealing dimples and fair hair.

But despite all his advice on her diet, Victoria never grew. As the young Victoria grew older her fair hair became darker and mousier and straighter, and although she had a very good complexion, her intolerance of heat caused her face to flush.

There is definitely a genuine prettiness in the early portraits of Queen Victoria, but one could never describe her as conventionally beautiful — except perhaps in that famous image of her gazing up adoringly at her husband, Prince Albert , on their wedding day.

Victoria shared a likeness with her male German ancestors in some of her facial features — the slightly hooked Coburg nose, and the receding Hanoverian chin were features passed down to several of her children; the queen particularly lamented the latter in her son, Bertie, prince of Wales. It is a great shame that almost all official images of Queen Victoria are with a neutral, if not po-faced expression, for she in fact had a lovely smile.

But that elusive smile would not be captured by a photographer until much later in her life. Queen Victoria is said to have had a lovely, pealing laugh, as well as a habit of shrugging her shoulders when she did so.

Her self-confident delivery in public was noticed from her very first Privy Council meeting, held soon after her accession in It was impressive of dignity and mildness, and at the same time I felt quite at my ease, as tho in company with merely a well bred lady.

This is a much-debated point. Victoria was brought up in relative seclusion by her German mother , Victoire, Duchess of Kent, and German governess, Baroness Lehzen, and the three of them spoke their native language for most of the time.

However, with the prospect of her becoming a future queen of Great Britain, it is likely that some of that accent was trained out of her by elocution lessons. When married, Victoria and Prince Albert conversed among themselves and with many of their foreign relatives in German, and they were often heard quarrelling in German too. However, it would seem that although, as she grew older, the queen had no overt accent, she had a slight German lilt to her voice that even rubbed off on her children , particularly Bertie.

While Victoria was by no means conventionally beautiful, and indeed at first glance she appeared quite unprepossessing because of her lack of height, she had tremendous presence — as was noted by many people. Queen Victoria also had tremendous poise, as Thomas Sully noticed.

Such lightness on her feet had perhaps been acquired through her youthful enthusiasm for dancing, and Victoria remained a nimble dancer well into old age.
