Why didn't Queen Victoria smile in photos?

Asked by Wiki User

There are a few reasons why Queen Victoria didn't smile in photos. First, the long exposure time required for early photography made it difficult to maintain a smile for an extended period. Additionally, it was a societal norm at the time for people in formal portraits to maintain a serious and dignified expression. Lastly, Queen Victoria's personal attitude towards photography was generally reserved and serious, which likely influenced her expression in photographs.

What is Queen Victoria's surname?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

British Royalty do not have surnames in the same way that non-royal people do, instead they are referred to as belonging to a "Royal House."

Queen Victoria was the last British monarch from The House of Hanover.

She married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg Gotha and their descendants belonged to his Royal House.

Her grandson, King George V, changed the name of the Royal House from Saxe-Coburg Gotha to Windsor because of anti-German feelings in Britain during World War 1.

Why get a prince albert?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you need to ask why a Prince Albert piercing then you don't need one. A Prince Albert piercing is an exotic male piercing, it adds sensation for both the wearer and the partner. Male exotic piercings are not for the faint at heart, you need to know this is what you want and be ready to get it for all the right reasons. They also need to be done by an experienced professional body piercer who is aware of the structures he/she is dealing with and can explain the piercing procedure, placement and the aftercare as well as any post piercing issues clearly and correctly. Exotic piercings are for those who want to "take it up a notch" and are willing to take the time to research the piercings and willing to go through the healing time to properly season the piercings.

Does a mother pass on hemophilia to her son?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hemophilia is passed down from mother to son. It is extremely

rare for a woman to have hemophilia. It is necessary, though, for

a woman to be a carrier of the disorder for her son to acquire this

disorder. Females have two X chromosomes whereas males only

have one. When a boy is born, he takes one X chromosome from

his mother and one Y chromosome from his father. Therefore, he

can only get hemophilia through his mother.

Example One:

Mother(Carrier)+Father(Non-Affected)=50% chance of their son

acquiring the disorder and 50% chance of their daughter being a

carrier.

Example Two:

Mother(Non-Affected)+Father(Hemophiliac)=All sons will be

non-affected and all daughters will be carriers.
