10 Tragic Facts From The Life Of Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria may have enjoyed the splendors of being royalty, but, before taking the throne, her childhood was miserable and tragic. She lived a confined life with a difficult mother and went through some horrible things that would shape the queen she would become.
10Her Father Died Before She Turned One
Victoria never knew her father. He died before she turned one; before she’d formed a single memory. It was the first in a series of horrible tragedies that would end up putting her on the throne.
When she was born, no one expected Victoria to grow up a queen. Her father was the king’s fourth child, and she was behind a long line of heirs. It took the death of three uncles and five cousins to make her the rightful heir to the throne of England.

Directed by Brian Durnin for Red Rage, the spots see award winning TV and radio broadcaster Baz Ashmawy drop the F-word to remove stigmas on talking about finances
Finance is on a par with sex and religion and topped only by death on the list of things we find it hard to talk about, according to research by Bank of Ireland. The survey also found that almost three in four people either don’t talk about their finances at all or will only do so if they have to. This is the basis of a new Bank of Ireland campaign – the ‘F-word’ – to encourage a more open discussion of personal finances among consumers. This campaign is part of the Bank of Ireland’s Financial Wellbeing programme featuring Emmy Award-winning TV and radio broadcaster Baz Ashmawy. The ‘F-word’ aims to remove some of the stigmas around talking about finances. The campaign was devised by Grey London and directed by Brian Durnin and produced by Paul Holmes of Red Rage Dublin.
