In my video about Queen Victoria and Jack the Ripper, I stated that there were rumours that, in the aftermath of the first murder, it is rumoured that Queen Victoria telephoned her Home Secretary, Henry Matthews.
This caused several viewers to question the accuracy of what I had said, since they maintained that phoned hadn't been invented at the time, so it was impossible for Victoria to have used one.
In this video you will discover that, not only did Victoria have access to a telephone, but she had been shown how to use it, and had been sent two as a gift, by no less a person than Alexander Graham Bell himself.
