Hubbard’s words ring true to the events that took place in Queen Victoria’s life and the movie representing her actions‚ as well. The acclaimed movie‚ The Young Victoria‚ stars Queen Victoria‚ played by Emily Blunt‚ and Prince Albert‚ who prove their selfless love for each other after living in other people’s worlds.

To the extent of saying sorry and get over it‚ it’s in the past: what is done and we can’t take it back. Do people today really have to respond because of the wrongs our ancestors did?
