Page "Victoria, Princess Royal" Paragraph 4

The education of Victoria was closely supervised by her parents.

She was precocious and intelligent, unlike her brother Albert Edward.

She was taught to read and write before the age of five by her governess Lady Lyttelton and to speak French by her French nursery maid.

The Princess Royal learned French and German from various governesses, and science, literature, Latin, and history from Sara Ann Hildyard.

Prince Albert tutored her in politics and philosophy.
