Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Queen Victoria regarded Lord Melbourne as a close confidant and father figure early in her reign?

Yes. Two reference sources state that Victoria relied on and befriended Lord Melbourne early in her reign and that she described him as a father figure; other items confirm his early mentorship without addressing the confidant or father-figure description.
