Before her marriage, Victoria had relied on the guidance of Lord Melbourne and Uncle Leopold; these were replaced by her beloved husband Albert to whom she became totally devoted. After his death she found herself desperately alone to meet the demands of raising a large, turbulent family and dealing with the affairs of state. The prospect seemed too much to face and she reacted by going into morbid seclusion in a state of perpetual mourning.
