She disliked bishops, because as a child she was scared of their wigs and aprons.  The dislike stayed with her for life.  She once startled a lady in waiting when she was quite an elderly woman by annoucing "I do NOT like bishops"  When her lady in waiting reminded her of certain bishops with whom she was on friendly terms, she replied firmly "I like the man but not the bishop"

She also wasn't keen on very young babies. "An ugly baby is a very nasty object, and the prettiest is frightful" she wrote once "until they lose that dreadful froglike motion"

She was an enthusiastic theatre-goer, and when she was young she was particularly captivated by some performing lions, she was thrilled when the lion-tamer put his head in their mouths.  "It is quite wonderful and makes me wish I could do the same" she wrote in her diary.

She was strongly opposed to the Sabbitarian movement, which tried to prevent people from doing anything enjoyable on a Sunday.  When objections were raised to the Sunday openings of museums she wrote "it is very well for those people who have no hard work during the week to go two or three times to church on Sunday and remain quiet for the rest of the day, but as regards the working class the practice is perfect cruelty."

Her Late Britannic Majesty, Victoria, Queen Empress's first name was Alexandrina. The old idea that She was a grumpy person "we are not amused", was apparently incorrect.  The late Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone who died in the 1970's and who was brought up by Queen Victoria, as the Princess's father had died when she was a child, said that she had asked The Queen about the quote and was told, that Victoria had never uttered it.  Princess Alice, interviewed by Prince Charles, just before her death, remembered Queen Victoria having a "bell like" voice and remembered her often heartily laughing!

In 1847 Sir James Young Simpson introduced the medical use of chloroform as an anesthetic in Edinburgh and began using it in his obstetrical practice, but Scottish clergymen quickly objected to this, insisting the pain of childbirth was ordained by God.
