Britain's Queen Victoria's sordid love affairs and astonishingly high sexual libido have been unveiled in a new TV documentary.
The queen, who died in January 1901 aged 81, has always been portrayed as a sexually and emotionally repressed monarch, but the fascinating British TV documentary 'Queen Victoria's Men' shows she was actually extremely keen on both men and sex.
After marrying her cousin, Prince Albert, she recounted their passionate wedding night in a letter.
She said: "It was a gratifying and bewildering experience. I never, never spent such an evening. His excessive love and affection gave me feelings of heavenly love and happiness. He clasped me in his arms and we kissed each other again and again."
Historian Tristam Hunt revealed Victoria was incredibly fond of making love to Albert.
He added: "She enjoyed the physical side of their relationship - but rarely the consequences. At one point, she had nine children under 15 and deeply resented the physical and emotional repercussions of child-bearing, because pregnancy and babies got in the way of sex."
To avoid their children interrupting any passionate trysts, Victoria instructed Albert to install a switch by her bedside which activated mechanical locks on the bedroom door.
