The Daughters of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert

Although Victoria was famously besotted with Albert, maternal affections did not come as naturally to Victoria, who was quite strict with her children and expected unswerving obedience from all of her offspring in both infancy and adulthood. Eight out of her nine heirs would marry, and between them all Victoria and Albert eventually would have a grand collective of over forty grandchildren. (x)
