BBC Radio Berkshire's Sarah Walker found out more about the secrets of the Monarchs from Historian Tracy Borman, including finding out more about the life of Queen Victoria. Tracy's show 'Secrets of the Monarchs' airs on Yesterday at 9pm on Mondays. Tracy Borman, Historian: "She was always under threat, and she was very brave to still go out in public and insist on doing so. "She was shot at, she was hit, there were people all over London who seemed intend on people seeing her for better or worse, and her husband Albert remained by her side. "You couldn't control the crowds, but it was thanks to her bravery that she was seen in public so much. "She is often misquoted... also though she was a drug taker."
