Robin Stevens Payes
“She who tells the story makes history”
Robin Stevens Payes

Lucy Worsley
“Victoria's courtiers generally shared the views of her administrators and colonial staff in India, which were that Indians were decidedly inferior to Europeans. Victoria, however, perhaps having less cause to worry about her status being challenged, was less prone to this, 'There is no hatred to a brown skin - none,' she wrote, even in the wake of the Indian Rebellion of 1857.”
Lucy Worsley, Queen Victoria: The authoritative biography of Victoria: Daughter, Wife, Mother, Widow, by beloved historian Lucy Worsley OBE
