QUEEN VICTORIA AND PRINCE ALBERT

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had a quarrel, as it
occasionally happens in a marriage. One word led to another, and
suddenly Prince Albert angrily left the bedroom, went to his study,
slammed the door and locked it. Queen Victoria ran after him,
knocked on the door and demanded, "Open!" There was no answer.
She pounded the door with her fist and shouted, "Open at once!!"
No answer. She shouted at the top of her voice, "I am the Queen of
England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, the Empress of India and of
the entire British Commonwealth, I am the Commander-in-Chief of all
the British armed forces, and I order you hereby to open this
door!!!" No answer. Finally she said in a soft voice, "Albert, I
am sorry, I love you and miss you." Now the door opened.

This shows that nonviolence is more powerful than violence
