[QUOTE="Stacky, post: 7057190, member: 22688"] Poverty in the 19th Century At the end of the 19th century more than[B] 25%of the population of Britain was living at or below subsistence level[/B]. Surveys indicated that around 10% were very poor and could not afford even basic necessities such as enough nourishing food. Although some believed the myth that Queen Victoria had only[B] donated a miserly £5 to famine relief[/B], in fact the sum was £2,000, the equivalent of £61,000 today, from her personal resources. She also was patron of a charity that fundraised for famine relief. Queen Victoria was simply a constitutional monarch with no direct powers other than deciding what type of sandwiches to have at a summer garden party and has never received any "honours" by this State.
