A proposito di questo titolo

This episode of Queen Victoria and the Age of Empire explores the remarkable career of Princess Louise, Queen Victoria's sixth child and most unconventional daughter. While Victoria's reign is often associated with strict morality and imperial pageantry, Louise carved her own path as a sculptor, painter, and the first British royal to marry a commoner. But her most surprising chapter came when she and her husband, the Marquess of Lorne, moved to Canada in 1878, where Lorne served as Governor General. In Ottawa, Louise navigated political tensions, championed the arts, and even survived an assassination attempt. We also delve into her relationship with her mother, her struggles with mental health, and her legacy as a feminist icon ahead of her time. Discover a side of Victoria's family you never knew—one that challenged the very empire it represented.
