(37,748 posts)I did my thesis on Victoria's influence in England's infrastructure revolution and have been fascinated by the family (post and prior) ever since.
As an aside, there's a damned intriguing move called King Charles III (based on play of same name) which, in blank verse as well as prose, dramatizes a series of catastrophic decisions resulting from the passing of the Queen, throwing England and the throne into political turmoil.
The verse and prose is border-line Shakespearean. Add the that the tragic over- and under-tones, the visitation of the ghostly dead speaking to her children, and the machinations of various royal factions and interests, all contrasted by the modern setting and the relevant implications resulted in a move which kind of knocked my socks off.
