Picture
The movie Victoria, starring Dame Judi Dench in the lead role, tells us about the life of the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland who ruled from 1837-1901. She came to the throne at the tender age of 18 after all male sovereigns in her family had died and is the second longest living ruler.

In one scene of the film, an Indian writer gave her a gold coin at her Coronation ceremony. She liked his appearance so she asked him to be her attendant. She was fascinated to learn about him and his culture though he wasn't easily accepted.
She was sad and lonely at the time they met, but he taught her how to write the ancient Hindu language, Sanskrit. After her death at the age of 81, he returned to his homeland.
If you could have an attendant, what type of person would you like to have?
