I am told people think I am difficult. Darling, I have simply met the public. by Queen Victoria

Both of you may continue fighting after breakfast; I will be reigning and emotionally unavailable.

Your Majesty, you call it difficult; I call it selective access.

I married into this and still had to schedule my own opinions.

Albert, you are in no position to complain when you turned the palace into a lecture hall.

The real scandal is that the crown has better attendance at my compliments than at anyone's advice.
