Downing Street, London, United Kingdom.

Robert Peel, as the leader of the Loyalist, was embarrassed by the fact that he had not been treated by the queen for a long time.

In order to regain the Queen's attention, Robert Peel publicly declared that when it comes to personnel appointments in the Queen's Palace, he will definitely listen to Queen Victoria's advice and will not easily change the personnel around the Queen.

What Robert Peel said was true, that he did theoretically have this power as prime minister, but it was harsh, and to the general public, it was as if the prime minister controlled the queen.

In particular, the Chartists, whose demands were not met and were suppressed. At first they received a promise from the Queen, and the group disbanded.

However, the Whig government at the time did not admit it, and the Prime Minister, Viscount Melbourne, even claimed that "even if the North Sea is filled, it will not raise the wages of the workers." ”

But with the fall of the Whigs, the pressure came to Robert Peele. The ill-fated politician had to endure a lot, what he should never have suffered.

This was the time of the economic crisis in Britain, coupled with the workers' movement and the insurrection in the overseas colonies. There also appears to be a mycosis in agriculture, and this year's grain harvest may fail.

Of course, the poor harvest was a bad thing for Britain, but it was a good thing for him personally, after all, it would allow him to better promote his theory (free trade).

Internationally, Britain had hardly good relations with all the great powers at this time. Previously, the Whigs had suppressed France too much, even leading to the crisis in La Plata (Argentina).

He wanted to isolate the Russians, but unexpectedly pushed Russia over the side of Austria. There are constant conflicts with the United States, especially in Oregon, where the number of Americans has completely outnumbered the number of British colonists.

Although Oregon is still run by the British, it is only a matter of time before it is lost without action.

The question of taking sides in the Luxembourg crisis offended the entire German Confederation, and even Hanover, the queen's home, had to draw a line of demarcation from Britain.

This was a great diplomatic disaster in the eyes of Robert Peele.

In order to prevent Austria from becoming a dominant force in Central Europe, especially the possible annexation of Italy, Britain put up many obstacles, but it seemed that they had gained nothing but the envy of Austria.

Austria still had unrivalled influence in Italy, and countries like Serbia and the Ottomans could hardly pose a threat to it.

In addition, an archduke of the House of Habsburg seems to have accepted the invitation of the Jacobite Party, which can be regarded as a kind of Austrian countermeasure to the pressing British approach.

However, Robert Peel did not take this matter to heart at this time, because now in the world, Britain has almost no allies, and war may break out at any time. Even the proud industry has suffered frequent setbacks.

Robert Peel felt as if his burden was weighing a thousand pounds, and while he was trying to figure out how to solve it, the queen seemed to fall in love with sailing at sea.

It would have been an inconsequential matter, but the queen's chosen destination was Paris.

This is interesting to note, and while the Queen herself may have been a private trip (to relatives), the political value that could be brought behind it is immeasurable.

Robert Peel intended to use this as a means of easing relations with France, which was both an adversary and its best ally in the world quest for world domination.

After all, both countries have the same enemy - the Holy Alliance, and the Triple Alliance of Russia, Prussia, and Austria is too strong. The so-called continental balance of power policy does not mean that we want a peaceful, prosperous and powerful Europe.

Rather, it is a chaotic, powerless Europe to confront Britain and full of business opportunities.

The French naturally became the natural allies of England, because the Vienna system itself was a yoke that constrained France. A beast of prey cannot be willingly trapped in a cage for the rest of its life, and neither is France.

That's what Robert Peel wanted to crack, and the Queen's travel was undoubtedly of great value.

This will be Queen Victoria's first time on foreign territory (Hanover used to be a British confederation) and the first British monarch to visit France after Henry VIII (the King of Gluttony, said to have reached a waist circumference of 155 cm) in 1520.

Of course, this is not a gesture of goodwill, but only a show to the French that there is another possibility, a signal of cooperation. At the same time, it is also a warning to Russia, Prussia and Austria that Britain is not without allies.

However, the trip did not go well, as Queen Victoria had been assassinated earlier. And more than once .

At the same time, their queen was a little reckless.

Sunday, May 29, 1842.

Queen Victoria was riding in a horse-drawn carriage through Green Park when she was laughing with Prince Albert and accidentally opened the window and saw a man not far away aiming a pistol at her.

When the man saw Queen Victoria looking in his direction, he immediately blended into the crowd and fled, but the Queen did not say anything, but decided to "pass" by Green Park again that afternoon.

Despite the efforts of the entourage of ministers to stop her, Queen Victoria insisted on going her own way, saying, "I would rather take a risk than live in danger all the time." ”

Eventually, the Queen passed through Green Park for the second time, and this time the British Royal Guard, who were already ready, did not let the Assassins escape.

But the Queen's actions terrified the British Parliament and ministers in case Victoria was assassinated in France, or even died in France.

What should the UK government do?

The queen gained a lot of popularity because of her pro-people attitude and hard-working attitude when she first ascended the throne, but then she suddenly became a secluded and no longer concerned about politics (married Albert).

This has led some conspiracy theorists to believe that Congress has kidnapped the Queen, after all Victoria's previous promises of a series of social benefits and reforms such as a 10-hour working day for workers have not been completed.

If the queen is assassinated in France, then the British government will be discredited.

So security will be the top priority of the trip, but on French soil, security cannot be entirely the responsibility of the UK, which involves a lot of issues.

Of course, Robert Peel did not think that the French would assassinate Victoria, after all, although the two countries have disputes, they are far from the point of life and death.

And the assassination of a head of state is far less affordable than kidnapping as a hostage.

Of course, in order to prevent such extreme things from happening, Britain has long formulated the "Regency Act", that is, when the queen needs to leave the United Kingdom, it is necessary to appoint a regent or multiple judges to perform duties in place of the monarch.

Since then, the Crown Lawyers have been acting as Queen Victoria's "regent", so Victoria has become one of the most visited rulers in British history.

The Queen and her husband are scheduled to visit France in six months' time, and Robert Peel must deal with any problems that may arise.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the whole of Europe, and countless forces were ready to move, and the undercurrent of the world will go where it will go
