Rumors about the two being lovers started during their lifetimes. There is a equestrian portrait of Victoria featuring Brown which was highly controversial as he was considered a servant. Brown is credited with getting Victoria to go out in public and start performing her royal duties after an extended period of mourning for Albert.

BBC produced a miniseries about them in 1997 titled “Mrs Brown”. Judi Dench played Victoria

Puts me in mind of a quote...

I am not up on my Victorian era royals. Somehow I had thought that this tied into Harper’s Ferry.

It’s all circumstantial. She is not here to defend herself. I’d hate for people to speculating about what she would have described as sinful sexual behavior after I died. Let alone making it canon.

At first I thought they were talking about the abolitionist.

Whether they were lovers or not, matters not IMO.
But I do love these photos:

Nothing new here,
Queen Victoria loved sex, had 9 children with her husband in rapid succession.
When Prince Albert died so early, she was bound to start having sex with someone.
John Brown was a lusty Scottish lad who preceeded to seduce her and regularly gave her the business mostly out at her castle in Scotland.

The Empress and the Gillie? This is too much like "Lady Chatterley's Lover."
My money was always on the wily Munshi. Kama Sutra and all that:
It's rumored that Victoria was illegitimate herself and therefore not the rightful queen. The hemophilia gene was said to come into her family through her mother's lover.
