On 2 March 1882, Roderick Maclean, a disgruntled poet apparently offended by Victoria's refusal to accept one of his poems, shot at the Queen as her carriage left Windsor railway station. Two schoolboys from Eton College struck him with their umbrellas, until he was hustled away by a policeman. Victoria was outraged when he was found not guilty by reason of insanity, but was so pleased by the many expressions of loyalty after the attack that she said it was "worth being shot at—to see how much one is loved".

Den 2 mars 1882 förnärmade Roderick Maclean, en missnöjd poet tydligen av Victorias vägran att ta emot en av hans dikter, skjuten på drottningen då hennes vagn lämnade Windsors järnvägsstation. Två skolpojkar från Eton College slog honom med sina paraplyer, tills han blev bortförd av en polis. Victoria blev upprörd när han befanns icke skyldig på grund av sinnessjukdom, men var så nöjd med de många uttrycken för lojalitet efter attacken att hon sade att det var "värdigt att bli beskjuten – för att se hur mycket man är älskad". Hur stoppade skolpojkarna Maclean?
