Queen Victorian and Friends



Queen Victoria is seen here writing Urdu, with her much-admired and respected teacher, friend, clerk, and travel companion Mohammed Abdul Karim. They were close confidants for 15 years, and she gave him a landed estate in India. The relationship was maternal, with Queen Victoria signing her letters "mother".
