The last time Antiques Roadshow focused on Queen Victoria, host Fiona Bruce was amused when a loo seat once graced by the queen’s posterior was valued at £500. In this charming image, the Roadshow is at Balmoral for a special episode celebrating the former monarch’s 200th birthday. The atmosphere at the castle is festive – from pony rides to picnics, Highland reels to caber tossing.

Balmoral has been the Royal Family’s Scottish home since 1852, when it was purchased for Queen Victoria by Prince Albert. It’s here that the queen continued her daily routine of writing a journal, along with many letters.

These chronicled every aspect of her reign, including life behind closed doors: ‘My dearest Albert put on my stockings for me. I went in and saw him shave; a great delight for me.’

Not everyone was happy at the prospect of such personal details spilling into the public domain. After Victoria’s death, her daughter and literary executor, Beatrice, burned or censored many of the journals and letters.

Today, a visitor to the Balmoral Antiques Roadshow has brought along an intriguing piece of Victoriana – a faded letter in Beatrice’s handwriting, hinting that she did not tamper with all her mother’s correspondence. A cache of letters illustrating the grand passion between Victoria and Albert still exists somewhere. Answer the clues to find the hiding place.
