Every family has at least one skeleton in its closet… and the royal family is no exception to this rule.
------------------------------------------------------------
It is 1888… and Queen Victoria, Empress of India, has been on her throne for more than five momentous decades. A solemn widow of twenty seven years, Victoria keeps her private life private, surrounding herself with a select group of faithful servants and advisors.
But within Victoria’s royal household rumours abound of a dark secret kept hidden from the public’s ever enquiring gaze. Perhaps this secret is of modest significance; enough to set tongues wagging, but little more… or perhaps the truth is so incredible, so shocking… its exposure would shake the foundations of this Great British Empire.
As a trusted member of her majesty’s royal household… you have access to the private life of your dear Queen. And… as curiosity conquers your better judgement, you decide to use your position of privilege to unearth Victoria’s secret.
Prowling the royal corridors of power in the dead of night and tiptoeing from room to room in the eerie silence… you start to uncover the nature of Victoria’s hitherto undisclosed secret. In private papers and in blurry photographs… in whispers and in idle gossip… Victoria’s secret will begin to reveal itself.
But the Queen will attempt to thwart a prying subject… and has instructed her diligent butler to challenge and remove anyone found lurking in the royal corridors at night (no matter who they are). And Victoria herself is a notoriously light sleeper, so be warned… she will not tolerate a snooper.
Will Victoria keep her secret… or will you expose the improbable truth?
One thing and one thing alone is guaranteed… her majesty will not be amused.
