(Queen) Victoria's Secret: Our popular image of Queen Victoria (1819-1901) paints her as a monarch, a mother, a wife, and a widow. But today we are looking at a portrait of Victoria that shows us the woman, not her roles. Join me for a bit of historically sanctioned snooping into the hidden side of Victoria, her relationship with her hubby, and their love language of choice. </p><p>Today's image: Franz Xaver Winterhalter, <em>Queen Victoria</em> (1843).
