💬 Victoria - Season 1

A cake that will dazzle the court with its artistry.

A chef has a nose for the most interesting ingredients.

A christening, perhaps.

A copy of Mr Midshipman Easy by Captain Marryat was found in Oxford's lodgings.

A dark coat. Brown boots. Tall hat.

A day of driven shooting, then.

A discretionary title?

A gentleman don't set foot in the field without the kit.

A gun wearing white would be a right howler.

A letter from the secretary of White's club

A little wriggle pants tonight.

A little wrigglepants, ma'am.

A lock of her hair.

A love like ours can burn down a city.

A message from the Palace, my Lord.

A monarch cannot be seen to favour one political party.

A note, Your Royal Highness.

A palace this size can never have too many teaspoons.

A place I have earned.

A Prime Minister must feel he has the confidence of his monarch.

A prince?

A queen. A wife.

A regency on the grounds of insanity?

A search of his lodgings has revealed that he is a member of the Young England Society.

A spell of calm and seclusion is what she needs,

A title?

A very nice job.

A very...

A volume of Shakespeare.

A week away from all this. I long to be alone with you. Really alone.

A word of warning, sir. He is next in line to the throne.

A worthy endeavour, gentlemen.

A young man should not have too much money at his disposal.

About the same time as you. We are here for the same reason.

About which we spoke.

Abstinence?

Actually, Wellington, my wife is now Duchess of Inverness.

Advise, yes, encourage certainly, even warn,

Affairs of state...

Affairs? Let Albert do them for you.

After that, you can call him 'sir'.

Afterwards.

Ah, ah, ah...

Alas, I do not hunt.

Alas, Sir Robert, I think we should let our host

Albert and Victoria seem less comfortable with each other since I was last here.

Albert doesn't know how to talk. He refuses to dissemble.

Albert is my husband

Albert prefers Windsor,

Albert thinks that I will be safer there.

Albert will be expecting nothing less.

Albert, Albert.

Albert, I don't... I don't want a doctor.

Albert, what? What is it? What's happened?

Albert, what's the matter?

Albert, wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife,

Albert, you're not listening.

Albert!

Albert?

Albert? No.

Albert.

Albert. Albert.

Albert...

All my thoughts have been with you.

All she had to do was look at it.

All the dukes want to become kings. And that's why Cumberland's here.

All the marron glaces that she wanted.

All the promises we made before I went to Coburg have come to nothing.

Alleluia

Allow me to congratulate you in person on your marriage.

Allow me to congratulate you, Ma'am.

Allow me? Peel was perfectly within his rights

Allow me.

Almost, Ma'am?

Alone.

Already?

Also without me, but...

Also, I believe it may be rather too long.

Also...

Although I have to admit, I'm strangely drawn to Peel.

Although that would be rather helpful. Perhaps I should.

Although, I suspect, we hope for different results.

Always running at her heels, waiting for her to throw me a treat.

Always thinking of me. I just needed some air.

Am I of unsound mind?

Am I right in thinking you have never seen a locomotive, sir?

Am I simply a vessel to be protected because I am carrying precious cargo?

Amen.

An actress.

An embossed silver tureen from the Lord Mayor of Ly cester.

An expedition into the dark heart of the Tory Shires

An ice house!

An office you shall not allow him.

And a capital job he's done of it too. I shall be sorry to lose him.

And a necessary ally in the unfortunate event of you becoming regent.

And a Tory as well.

And all the people talk about is the weather.

And also, I'm told he's an aficionado of the railway.

And amongst people like the Giffards, it's...

And an allowance that means I am not always the poor relation.

And as to your position...

And at this moment it seems that only Sir Robert has the confidence of the House.

And before the wedding, there are things that have to be decided.

And childbirth is a perilous business.

And decided he would not have it.

And don't necessarily want it disfigured by iron rails.

And even then, I cannot be at the Palace as much as I have been.

And favour neither side over the other

And furthermore, to show how much we believe in English justice,

And giving him a ride on your ruddy infernal machine.

And he may ask you to make a few changes in the Royal household.

And he's spending them on actresses!

And His Grace the Duke of Wellington.

And His Royal Highness Prince Albert.

And His Royal Highness, Prince Albert.

And how I will miss you?

And I am grateful, Mama.

And I believe he lives off ices and turtle soup.

And I believe it is the correct choice.

And I believe they're expecting more than 3,000 people.

And I believe you have no right to ask me.

And I cannot do it alone.

And I do hope you will take care.

And I have been looking for it my whole life.

And I hope to say a few words of my own.

And I promise you that our dear little cousin will thank you for it.

And I say to the noble lord that a moral principle cannot be ignored

And I see no reason to make you Queen Mother, however much Sir John might like it.

And I shall certainly make a subscription.

And I suppose a love for you too.

And I think there will be some crumbs from her table for Coburg.

And I wanted to lose no time in congratulating you, my dear niece.

And I will not allow you to put it in danger.

And I will promise to love, honour...

And I'm not at home...

And I'm worried too...

And if found guilty, you will be hung, drawn and quartered.

And if I were the man that you think I am, I could have taken everything.

And if it should be found rats reached as far as the state rooms,

And if she succeeds, we will not be able to protect her with a regency.

And if you answer back using the word "future", I shall scream!

And is your other half so very bad?

And it is clear from the testimony of the doctors that Oxford is not of sound mind.

And it is good that you're here today...

And it is my job, no, it is my duty, to see that you come to no harm.

And it will be a great honour, sir.

And it would be unfortunate

And it's a surprise!

And keeps his other women out of sight.

And look what happened to her.

And Mama telling me how, when she was pregnant,

And no one, I suspect, tells you what to do.

And nothing, not even my devotion to you, will stop me from upholding it.

And now he comes here to await the Queen's confinement?

And now Peel won't form a government unless she does.

And now you have Victoria...

And obey you.

And of course, Ma'am, you know it is essential that the Crown, that is, you,

And offers to rescue the Queen from her cruel imprisonment

And peas. Post haste. And for the Prince?

And render it conducive to the interests of my people

And see Peel fidgeting with the silver

And she doesn't want him as Prime Minister.

And she stayed there, for as long as I did.

And she was watching me from the terrace.

And should be by my side. It is time things were changed.

And simpering over my husband...

And smile occasionally.

And so I waved and she put her finger to her lips

And so the torpid Teuton wedges himself yet further

And soon to be a mother.

And that I would choose as my instrument a half witted pot boy from south of the river?

And that is the Lord's Anointed.

And that means I can no longer lead the Whigs in government.

And that we may, at no distant period,

And that your party must take charge.

And the blackest stain upon civilised Europe.

And the blackest stain upon civilised...

And the Tories belong to you.

And their servants, they're all the same.

And then he cannot form a government.

And then my life would have been over.

And then there are your bridesmaids.

And then they are released.

And then...

And there will be no freedom for our child either.

And this is Mr Barrett,

And throw yourself off?

And wait for you to smile at me.

And we can start looking for new positions.

And what do you think, Sir Robert?

And what will you do now, William?

And whilst I salute your tenacity, Ma'am, I must tell you

And whose fault is that, Mama?

And yet everyone believed them.

And you believe she should overcome her dislike.

And you think that's what I should do?

And you told him that a queen's dresser with her own money coming in

And you were almost right.

And you will come for dinner tonight so I can tell you all about it?

And you will never want for handkerchiefs, I promise.

And you, Liebes...

And you'll make a wonderful mother. This... I know.

And your hips.

And your mother is always talking about her travels.

And yourself.

And, above all, allowance.

And, of course, Sir John Conroy would be at her side.

And...

Anson. I have written what I wish to say in German

Anson...

Any day now by my calculations.

Any government serves at the... pleasure of the Crown.

Any man can keep a woman happy if he pays her enough attention

Anything good is worth waiting for.

Anything? No, sir. Nothing, sir.

Apparently she still is.

Apparently, it is the custom, in case there is a substitution.

Are created en masse in the factories.

Are moaning about incursions on their property.

Are rather fond of the peculiar virtues of their region

Are they Chartists?

Are we paying attention?

Are you all right, ma'am?

Are you all right? It's nothing.

Are you following me? You're not meant to be here.

Are you going to accept?

Are you going to tell her, or shall I?

Are you hurt?

Are you in the country long?

Are you listening to me? Are you listening? Yes.

Are you not going to open that one?

Are you randy for it?

Are you suggesting that the Queen is not of sound mind, sir?

Argh!

Arrest that man! Quickly, sir!

Arrest that man! Thank you, Captain Childers,

As a matter of fact, it does.

As co regent.

As ever, this subject makes men overstimulated.

As I had Victoria.

As it happens, I also have a plan.

As President of the British And Foreign Anti Slavery Society,

As President of the British And Foreign Anti Slavery Society...

As Regent.

As the only prince of the blood present,

As they say there, he that pays the piper calls the tune.

As to the ceremony itself,

As we are presently unencumbered by other guests,

As well as my own domestic happiness.

As you know, Your Majesty, the wicked practice of slavery

As you see, I am far too busy to die.

As you wish, Baroness.

As you would not visit me, I decided to visit you!

As you've not yet told me who you spoke to,

As your marriage is morganatic, she cannot be Duchess of Sussex,

As your sovereign, I cannot open your meeting...

Ask any woman who has conceived.

At a time like this! Have you lost your mind, Mrs Jenkins?

At least here we only have one royal family.

At least I know Albert doesn't have any secrets.

At the moment, I don't know if I can...

At your service, Your Serene Highness.

Bacon, Mr Francatelli. And peas, Mr Penge.

Barbarous trade is repugnant to the spirit of Christianity

Barbarous, sir, is the correct pronunciation.

Baroness, how may I help you?

Baroness, you put me off my stroke.

Baroness, you, of course.

Be rewarded by the accomplishment of the great and humane object

Because he is still drawing on them

Because I did not have the sovereign's consent,

Because I knew I was on the way to freedom,

Because it looks like a bomb, yeah?

Because that's all you know.

Because they have the fever in Seven Dials.

Because you are not a young woman, Duke,

Because you may find that the people of, for instance, Staffordshire,

Because you seek my favour for your political advantage?

Because you seek my influence to ratify your Regency?

Because, Ma'am, the country needs a government,

Before I congratulate you, Ma'am, may I remind you

Before you came to the throne,

Begging your pardon, Herr Lohlein.

Better a bit of rouge than a mistress and a clutch of children

Big job, mind, a place like this. I'll have to charge royal prices.

Brandy. In the library.

Breathe. Breathe.

Brodie could take a message to Dover House in no time.

But for some reason they did not.

But after all, what else could you possibly need

But also Sir Robert Peel, who as you know, sir, is a Tory.

But because she is not of royal blood, she is not recognised as his wife

But don't worry, Sir John and I will help you. We have a plan.

But ever since I arrived in this country,

But for you I pray in every denomination.

But he begs to receive Her Majesty and her entourage.

But he cares for me. I know he does.

But he does deserve your support. A monarch must be seen to be impartial.

But he was mad.

But her doctors would not let her eat them.

But how can I reach the very pinnacle of my craft

But I am afraid I shall make a fearful hash of it.

But I am neighbour to the Giffards.

But I am not a German woman.

But I am your subject.

But I assured him that you would not mind.

But I can't afford to keep my horses waiting.

But I can't think of many people who would do what you did for a stranger.

But I cannot allow you to jeopardise the position of the Crown on my account.

But I chose not to, out of a love for her,

But I didn't mind the hardships

But I do believe in the British constitution in all its tattered glory,

But I do not know if your uncles would agree.

But I do not know Sir Robert, and I have admired you all my life.

But I do not think that I will be so lucky.

But I fear he has never understood the fairer sex.

But I have a palace full of handkerchiefs.

But I have decided to be my wife's companion today.

But I have to go back to Coburg first.

But I have to prove my worth every single day.

But I like London.

But I look like a goose wearing a crown.

But I must deliver it in English, of course.

But I never forget a face, especially one as pretty as yours.

But I regret that I am too old to be Prime Minister again.

But I think my drawing is quite lifelike. Don't you agree, Lord Alfred?

But I think she could perhaps be a Duchess of say...

But I think you should also be careful.

But I want to be free.

But I'm afraid it will not change my mind in the question of precedence.

But I'm afraid that this is a battle... you cannot win.

But I'm sure Victoria will be generous.

But if I cock this mayonnaise...

But if needs must, we must not shirk our duty.

But if that is your concern, then you should tell him the truth.

But if the bill passed, why should you resign?

But instead you allowed Sir John to make you his creature.

But it is all that I desire in the world.

But it is essential, my dearest, that I have some title of my own.

But it is not fitting in the Queen.

But maybe you're needing some rest and quiet.

But Melbourne can't govern the country from Brocket Hall for ever.

But more than anything I care about you and the baby.

But Mrs Ashdown thinks now they are out of the city, it will get better.

But my answer is no.

But my equerry is dealing with the obstacle ahead.

But my sister's married and she writes to me very frankly.

But not any more.

But now I have you...

But now you have me.

But of course you have a seat in the House of Lords.

But of Great Britain and Ireland.

But that won't be necessary. Your Majesty.

But the future belongs to the Tories

But then I do not believe

But then I was not happily married.

But then she's not the one who's lighting the gas.

But then we will be together for ever.

But there has never been such a queen as you are.

But there is one thing of which I am quite certain.

But they are my friends!

But this is my wedding.

But this isn't about pleasing her or anyone else, is it?

But underneath...

But we have nothing to fear from what...

But we must proceed carefully.

But what a profile!

But when she held that baby in her arms,

But when you upset the natural order of things with your gas lighting,

But why would you put your trust in him or any man?

But why? It's too dangerous.

But you are here on business, Sir Robert.

But you are not alone, are you?

But you are not an ordinary woman.

But you cannot insist.

But you do know that your days are numbered, don't you?

But you have... other friends, Ma'am.

But you must not forget I am the Queen.

But you should be aware that, as the steward, I take an emolument.

But you will be back soon.

But you will deal with them, Mr Penge

But you'll have to wait and see.

But your attendants must come from the aristocracy, Ma'am.

But your current title belonged to poor dear Papa.

But, Ma'am, you are not yourself.

But, Ma'am, you will have to make some adjustments.

But? Your eyes are full of "but".

But... there is no greater ally than yourself.

But...what about the instructions from Hanover?

By order of the Parish Council, on account of the fever.

By the way, Baroness, the Prince would like to speak with you.

Call it...a bomb surprise.

Calm yourself!

Can this really be true? The Tory Party,

Can we define "entourage"?

Can your husband spare you?

Can't fix what she's got with chocolate.

Can't I do something about it? As Queen?

Can't travel without my dear Lehzen.

Can't you persuade Parliament to make him King Consort?

Captain Childers has been writing to the Queen for years.

Captain Childers.

Carlisle?

Carriage be damned. We ride here.

Celebrated for textiles. Adjacent is Northumberland,

Ceramics. It is the industry of the region.

Certainly, Baroness

Certainly, but it will be an expensive business.

Charlotte used to like sweets too,

Childbirth is a dangerous business.

Childbirth is a hazardous business.

Childbirth is surely an ordeal, but you are equal to it.

Chillington Hall, ma'am, is well situated for your research, being in Staffordshire.

Coast to the port, damn you

Come back here, you little rascal!

Come on, gentlemen, please. Let's have some order.

Come on.

Come sit.

Come...

Condone or condemn.

Congratulations, Ma'am.

Conroy? The Duchess would need the appointment of a co regent.

Contrary to general belief, I'm not actually frightened of Tories.

Cotton. Whereabouts is cotton mostly?

Could we have met before?

County town of Cumberland.

Cousin.

Crikey, whose are those?

Critics would say that I had manipulated you for my own advantage.

Cumberland shall be my mistress.

Cumberland thinks the little Queen listens to voices in her head,

Cumberland would crawl over broken glass for a crack at the Regency.

Curdled!

Danke, Gretchen.

Dear Albert! Has my nephew arrived yet?

Dear Lord M.

Dear Mr Bumps! How I have missed him, Lord Alfred.

Defeated by the caprice of an 18 year old girl?

Delighted to be here, Ma'am.

Devise the programme of activity.

Did he make these? Mm.

Did someone tell you to do this?

Did you hear the crowds cheering me, Drina? It was most flattering.

Did you hear those cheers? They were even louder than at my coronation.

Did you know that Uncle Leopold has a mistress?

Did you make that just for me?

Did you miss me?

Did you see the Giffards s******ing up their noses at me?

Did you see those fellows in the field?

Did you see Wellington's face when The Duke of Sussex gave way to you?

Did you sleep well?

Did you?

Didn't want to have children right away...

Dining with the Queen, Mr Francatelli?

Dinner shall be preparations of the vital organs.

Directly after luncheon you must go to bed,

Do the British people have no concern for their Queen's safety?

Do you ever imagine what I might need?

Do you find me much changed?

Do you find this amusing, Lord Melbourne? Forgive me, Ma'am.

Do you have a more pressing appointment?

Do you imagine that I want to leave you, Ma'am?

Do you know how much I envy you?

Do you know what I have here, Nancy?

Do you know what that... child has done?

Do you know when I will be needed, Your Ladyship?

Do you know, Lehzen...

Do you like it?

Do you mean...?

Do you not care at all about our unborn child?

Do you really imagine I would do anything

Do you really mean to forsake me?

Do you really think Uncle Cumberland would try and shoot me in broad daylight?

Do you really want to make another mistake?

Do you remember, in our room in Rosenau,

Do you think that Albert has a mistress?

Do you want any particular style, Ma'am?

Do you want anything?

Do you want to surround me with spies?

Does he? At least your father gave up his mistress when he married me.

Does my niece do anything like that?

Does your hand contain royalty?

Doesn't give it up to follow a pastry cook.

Doesn't it matter to you, my love?

Don't be childish.

Don't be scared, my Liebes, nothing will happen to you.

Don't blame me, Mr Francatelli, blame the Baroness.

Don't give it up for a man.

Don't know your name.

Don't listen to an old cynic like me, Ma'am.

Don't talk railway at me.

Don't worry, Albert.

Don't worry, we're quite safe here.

Don't you care what people think? Of course.

Don't you think I've arranged things marvellously?

Don't you think I've managed it all rather neatly?

Don't you think? The world is on the move, Sir Piers.

Don't you want to be my Prime Minister?

Don't you want to get out of here before you fade, Miss Skerrett?

Double bacon and peas!

Dressers don't curtsey to cooks.

Drina can be foolish, and headstrong maybe, but she's not mad.

Drina, this is your affair of state.

Drina!

Drina... Laughter is bad for baby.

Duchess of Inverness.

Duchess, there are some very curious looking shrubs over there.

Duke of Cumberland's back, I see.

Duke.

Each time I wish to buy a... handkerchief.

English, brother, English.

Er, the butler said that in the country

Er... yes, an income which, if I'm not much mistaken, Your Majesty,

Er... yes, Ma'am.

Ernest is not an honest man, Harriet.

Ernest, how can I?

Ernest. Ernest.

Ernest. You look so serious.

Ernest... I must speak with you about something.

Even if one of those Coburgs is the Dowager Duchess and her dresser?

Even in my dreams I never imagined I should find so much love on earth.

Even Papa does not seduce other men's wives.

Every week for a year after you left.

Everybody, please, out! Out.

Everyone is for sale. It just depends on the price.

Everything I have is yours, Your Majesty!

Everything the Queen says is interesting.

Everything will go very smoothly if you avoid contradicting her.

Everything!

Evidently!

Exactly the man I would like to see.

Excellent. Excellent.

Excessively diverting.

Excuse me, Majesty. I thought you were alone.

Excuse me, Your Grace, but have you informed Lord Melbourne?

Exeter Hall is a large venue,

Expeditions clearly agree with us.

Faint.

Fascinating.

Filling the palace with this female rabble and their infants

First rats and now an infestation of Coburgs.

Folly? Oh, yes, I suppose that is what it must look like to the Queen of England's husband.

For 20 years, we've been together every day.

For an audience with Mr Allen and Mr Buxton

For making me an offer despite knowing where I come from.

For not having organised a Royal box

For the approval of Parliament.

For the promotion of which we have this day met.

For you, Mama.

For you...I order a trip north.

Forced to grow up in the shadows, just as I was.

Forgive me for being a little late, Ma'am.

Forgive me for interrupting, but I just heard the happy news,

Forgive me, darling, but...

Forgive me, Ma'am, but your disguise is not impenetrable.

Forgive me. I did not realise you were occupied.

Forgive me. I had not realised that flirting was a prerequisite for being Prime Minister.

Forgive my disarray. I... I was not expecting visitors.

Fortunately, sir, I don't have a view of it here.

Fortunately, Victoria is most impressionable,

Four of your ladies are married to Whig ministers.

Fraulein Hilde. Hm.

Friends who do not let the Peelers stand in their way.

From a conviction of its paramount importance

From a harmless flirtation with a married woman.

From ingrowing toenails to cholera.

From Lord Melbourne, Ma'am.

From the look on your face, I suspect you are about to reprimand me.

Funny, I...

Furthermore, can the honourable member assure the Commons

Gee up!

Gentlemen, dismount! Make way.

Georg Friedrich Handel.

German tyrant, eh? What a notion.

German visitors.

German.

Give up my charity work? What a suggestion!

Gloriana

Gloriana, hallelujah

Go back and offer her someone charming like, er... Emily Anglesey.

Go to these places of new manufacturing.

God save our gracious Queen

God save our Queen

God save the Duchess!

God save the Queen!

God Save The Queen. Good heavens.

Good day. Your Highness.

Good evening, Your Royal Highness. Lady Cecilia.

Good health.

Good luck.

Good morning.

Good thing I'm here. I missed you.

Goodbye, Doctor Clark.

Goodbye, Lord M.

Goodbye, Ma'am.

Goodbye, Uncle.

Goodbye, Victoria.

Got to keep the old ways. Anything that is young and new is a threat.

Ha.

Had you not been sitting on your throne, I...

Half the people in this box

Hallelujah

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah...

Halt.

Hanover will have to wait.

Hanover?

Happy Birthday, Victoria.

Happy Birthday.

Harriet plays the piano much better than me, and she has such an eye for fashion.

Harriet Sutherland and Emma Portman are both married to Whig ministers.

Harriet, you attend to the Duchess in my absence.

Harrow, so forth.

Has been abolished throughout your dominions, yet it continues in other...

Have been laid to rest.

Have not, as yet, led to...

Have something of my own:

Have you come to give me a lesson in government, Sir Robert?

Have you decided, Ma'am, who will give you away?

Have you finished, sir?

Have you found the men? In a manner of speaking, sir.

Have you got no regard for the Queen's safety?

Have you kissed her yet?

Have you lost your mind, Drina?

Have you thought about my offer, I have thought about it, yes.

Have you thought about my offer, Nancy?

He carries them all on a tray balancing on his head.

He did not attend the wedding.

He even walks like a Papist.

He has refused to form a ministry and says I must send for Sir Robert Peel.

He is a man of great ability.

He is concerned Oxford will be acquitted on the grounds of insanity.

He is my better half, I think.

He is so good at putting the Queen in a good humour.

He is so very eccentric.

He is the only one who understands.

He is, of course, a Tory...

He knows quite well that Albert is not a Catholic.

He knows very well,

He made me polish his silver buckles again this morning.

He may be the Queen's favourite but that's no reason why the country should suffer.

He may not have given the order himself, but...

He might have killed you.

He murdered his valet before you were born.

He only ever says exactly what he means

He said they weren't shiny enough.

He should be here by now.

He thinks I would benefit from studying the heavens.

He thinks it may be wise for you to stay at home for a while.

He told me he thought you did it beautifully.

He wanted to send all my ladies away and replace them with some horrid Tory spies.

He wants me to go with him, Eliza.

He was always complaining about how tiresome it was being Prime Minister.

He will not notice I'm gone, ma'am.

He will want you to replace them with Tory ladies.

He would never do that. You have your freedom, Nancy.

He writes every week. He professes his undying love

He's a fan, mind.

He's at the Oxford trial.

He's been offered his own establishment.

He's guilty.

He's set it up as his own fiefdom.

He's...direct. Like me.

Hello.

Helping him with his correspondence.

Her bedroom is next door.

Her behaviour is barely rational. To make such a to do over her ladies.

Her death in labour is the reason you're Queen.

Her friend.

Her Grace, the Duchess of Inverness.

Her Majesty cannot expect things to continue as they did under your ministry.

Her Majesty don't like rodents.

Her Majesty has sent for me.

Her Majesty has the advantage of the best doctors in the country, sir.

Her Majesty heard a rustling last night in the sitting room.

Her Majesty is quite the little jack in the box.

Her Majesty the Queen...

Her Majesty will have to get used to us.

Her Majesty, Queen Victoria.

Her Majesty, the Queen,

Her Majesty's dietary requirements take...

Her selection of Regent has the full support of the Tory party.

Here at the palace.

Here in London.

Here we go. Cover it in hot chocolate.

Here.

Hey, stop, you little thief!

Hilde.

His Grace, the Duke of Wellington.

His name is Edward Oxford, Your Royal Highness.

His only weapon was a bunch of violets, sir.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex

His Royal Highness the King of Hanover.

His Royal Highness, the Duke of Sussex,

His Royal Highness, the Duke of Sussex.

Hm. In this country,

Hmm! It appears she has her grandfather's temper. But she cannot refuse you.

Hmm. With respect, Ma'am...

Hmph! What are you doing?

Hmph. Not much of an assassin.

Hold it.

Honestly! I'll be quite safe.

Honour, and keep her in sickness and in health,

Hoping to grow fat on Britain's public purse, I wonder?

How can I assist you?

How can I continue if there is no punishment for a man who tries to kill me?

How can I...?

How can they say it is an accurate likeness when none of these images look the same?

How can we be sure that Prince Albert is in fact a Protestant?

How can we feel safe if an English jury will not convict a man who fired at his Queen in plain sight?

How can Wellington be so wicked?

How can you be so foolish?

How can you say that? Surely my inclinations are paramount.

How dare you.

How delightful.

How did your speech go?

How I wish you could have answered my letters.

How is the Baroness? Distressed.

How is the Queen, sir?

How is the Queen?

How many more German princes are there

How splendid to be a king with 15 children.

How very wise of you to befriend the man who must be the next prime minister,

How was our child?

How will I manage?

How will I...?

How you used to climb to the top of the cupboard

How?

How's the baby?

However...

HRH didn't dilly dally.

Hysterics.

I "wipe your eye", Sir Piers.

I absolutely will not give up my ladies, Sir Robert,

I agree.

I agree. I believe the railway dissolves the unnecessary cultural divides of our region.

I always knew your wicked Uncle Cumberland would try to kill you one day.

I always told you Albert would make you a fine husband.

I always wanted to be there to protect him.

I am afraid I didn't drink your medicine.

I am afraid, Victoria, that the world is more dangerous than you think.

I am at your service.

I am bilious. Quickly!

I am Captain Childers and I have come to rescue you from your present situation.

I am concerned about him. He does not seem himself.

I am concerned about my niece's state of mind, Wellington.

I am frightened of the pain.

I am glad of it, sir.

I am glad so many people are here.

I am glad to meet you at last... Duchess.

I am glad to see you have an appetite, Victoria.

I am here to assure you that I have enough support in the House to form a government.

I am in perfect health, as you see.

I am most grateful for Your Majesty's advice.

I am not a little girl. No.

I am not a piece of clay to be moulded by any hand.

I am not an invalid.

I am not asking you to.

I am not at liberty to say.

I am not reading this periodical for my own amusement, you know.

I am scared.

I am so glad William has agreed to form a ministry.

I am so glad.

I am so happy.

I am so hot all the time.

I am sure her little Majesty would exchange her for that cat, Emma Portman.

I am sure that she will understand the situation when presented with facts.

I am sure the Baroness can amuse you in my absence.

I am sure we can come to an arrangement as to fees

I am the Queen of England.

I am to be supervised by Lord Melbourne's spy.

I am to encourage this. Sing?

I am, very attentively.

I asked you here today because there is something I wish to discuss.

I beg to inform Her Majesty that in the unfortunate event of her death,

I believe it is a matter of some urgency.

I believe it is my privilege to take you into dinner, Ma'am.

I believe Oxford was writing to himself, Sir Robert.

I believe she will be happier when the child is born.

I believe that not only will Lord Palmerston,

I believe the Prince to be a man of true feeling.

I believe the would be assassin to be completely insane.

I believe there was a rat...

I believe they call her Mrs Melbourne.

I believe they were quite devoted to each other.

I believe this is yours, Duchess.

I believe you are right, sir.

I believe, Emma, that the Queen knows the difference between duty and inclination.

I believe, Ma'am, that your nerves have been under considerable strain.

I blame the foreigners.

I brought protection.

I call it a success. Your blooming good health, boys.

I came to tell you that I have decided not to install gas at the Palace.

I can do nothing right.

I can hear you from my desk.

I can think of something.

I can't bear this. Where is he?

I can't bear to see the Prince so humiliated.

I can't help feeling like all these presents are tempting providence.

I can't help it if all my friends are Whigs!

I can't seem to fix on anything today.

I cannot form a government without the support of the sovereign.

I cannot form a ministry on the basis of Lady Anglesey's charms.

I cannot say that I blame him, sir.

I commend the experience to you.

I confess, I was surprised to get your message, sir.

I couldn't have chosen better myself, Mama.

I couldn't sleep.

I decide what is the future.

I did not know you were a member, Leopold.

I didn't do it for her.

I do hope the loss won't prove too much of a strain on her wits.

I do know how the constitution works.

I do not promote the Prince. The man is a menace and a boor.

I do not want to have to ask you for money

I do, Ma'am.

I don't believe if Sir Robert had been my Prime Minister from the first,

I don't care about that.

I don't have that luxury.

I don't know how you Germans keep track of all your principalities.

I don't know if you are aware, sir, but I believe

I don't know, sir. I can only speak from my own experience.

I don't know. What's in it for you?

I don't regard marriage as a battlefield.

I don't remember giving that order.

I don't think I am in any danger from a bunch of flowers.

I don't think I want to play with you today.

I don't think so.

I don't want him to be distracted.

I don't want Sir Robert Peel. Lord M, how can you leave me to face this, alone?

I don't want to do it alone.

I don't want to marry to curry favour with my subjects.

I endorse the decision of my Queen.

I expect that he caught wind of your plans

I expect there'll be a lot of visitors coming over.

I fed you myself and watched over you every minute.

I feel like a chapter from the Book of Job.

I feel sorry for the Queen. She is so attached to Lord Melbourne.

I feel the same about Albert.

I felt unwell.

I find I am feeling a little faint.

I find it shocking that this practice should continue across the Atlantic

I find myself thinking about you sometimes

I find that the Queen responds to a personal approach, a well told tale.

I grasp that the constitution and that I must produce it, but...

I grasp that the constitution demands an heir

I had a shock, Sir James, that is all.

I had an errand to run and it took longer than expected.

I had better get back to Mrs Jenkins.

I had heard about them, but...

I had no idea I would be so uncomfortable.

I hardly think you're in much danger

I have a friend, ma'am, who felt the same as you at this stage,

I have a house of elegant proportions in Paternoster Row

I have a letter that I would like you to deliver

I have a list.

I have a title, but I do not have a seat in the House of Lords.

I have all these papers to sign.

I have allowed that to cloud my judgement.

I have asked Prince Albert to marry me...

I have been a supporter of your cause ever since I was a little girl...

I have been judged by people who know nothing of my true character.

I have been neglecting him of late.

I have been thinking about our honeymoon all the way from Coburg.

I have changed my religion, as you know,

I have come incognito.

I have come to free you from your golden cage.

I have decided to take a turn in the park.

I have duties to perform.

I have everything I need here. Money, position.

I have made a list of suitable girls.

I have missed you.

I have money, but not enough to be independent, and now I find

I have never heard a monarch say a wiser thing.

I have never seen him without the skull cap

I have never seen you look more radiant.

I have no chin in this one and two chins in the next.

I have no choice, Ma'am.

I have no desire other than for a Tory government.

I have no intention of being imprisoned here as I was at Kensington.

I have seen cartoons when I am drawn as a sausage.

I have this morning sent a note to Sir Robert Peel.

I have to earn my position.

I have to make arrangements...

I have watched over the Queen every day for the last 15 years!

I have... responsibilities.

I hear that Wellington has refused you.

I hear the vote is very close.

I hear you are already acquainted with the Prince, Peel.

I heard today, she actually went to Dover House quite alone.

I hope I will be a good husband to her.

I hope Lord M won't be much longer.

I hope Oxford is not released for your sake, Victoria.

I hope so too, Baroness,

I hope that God will bless this union

I hope that is the only reason you have come back, Ernest.

I hope the Prince had time to do his duty.

I hope you have enjoyed your stay, sir.

I I saw him fire at me.

I imagine the change of government is unsettling.

I imagine, Ma'am, that he is waiting for you to talk to Sir Robert Peel.

I just got a letter from Mrs Ashdown.

I just hope he is going to be happy here.

I just want it to be over.

I keep thinking about poor Princess Charlotte.

I knew I'd seen you before.

I know he feels he must be king. But to do such a thing?

I know how much she worries about you.

I know how much you value Lord Melbourne's counsel.

I know how you're feeling.

I know it.

I know Miss Skerrett.

I know my duty. Very good, Lord Chamberlain.

I know Peel is not a charmer like Melbourne, but, er... he's sound enough.

I know this is not all you wanted, my love,

I know this matters to you, Victoria, so I am glad.

I know you are disappointed, Albert,

I know you went to Seven Dials and I know you found it closed to visitors.

I know, Albert, but it is better for you to have an English advisor,

I know, Albert.

I know, yes, I'll see to it directly,

I know.

I learnt this word, which fit precisely

I like to have her near me, in case I need anything in the night.

I like you, Sir Robert.

I live to serve you, Majesty.

I love it! What?

I made a list of the dramatis personae.

I make my own decisions.

I may have a solution to that.

I mean, it's quite absurd

I mean, that the Queen must marry soon.

I must congratulate you, Penge.

I must congratulate you, sir.

I must go.

I must show you a painting I did of Dash. I got him to sit still for just long enough.

I must speak with you on a matter of great urgency.

I need a position, Victoria.

I need not tell you that, since we left,

I need to ask you something.

I never thought I could understand...

I outflanked my enemies, as the Duke of Wellington would say.

I pronounce that they be man and wife together.

I rather think I'm going for a drive.

I really don't have time to be gallivanting with you.

I received no letters.

I said I love it!

I said I wished to be alone.

I saw her once.

I saw one in the throne room this morning!

I saw the Duke of Wellington.

I saw you today with the Duchess of Sutherland.

I say let the Prince learn to be an Englishman

I say to the House that if slavery is abolished in Jamaica,

I see no reason to change it.

I see wet nurses here, Penge, not would be assassins!

I see.

I see. Even so...

I see. In Thuringia, we take birds in cages to high towers.

I sent for Lord M hours ago. Why hasn't he come?

I shall be looking out for you.

I shall be offended if you don't.

I shall go to Brocket Hall to finish my commentary on the life of St Chrysostom.

I shall miss you, my dear nephew.

I shall never forget.

I shall not need your assistance.

I shall send for the doctor.

I shall send him away.

I shan't be long.

I shoot.

I should be most grateful.

I should like to assure you of my... loyalty.

I should like to meet your wife.

I so want to be a father.

I so want to show him the painting I did of Dash. He said it couldn't be done.

I spoke with Lehzen earlier.

I suggest you cross the floor to Palmerston's sty

I suppose he had a mad wife,

I suppose he has a mistress, like all my other uncles.

I suppose there were moments when I pondered the whereabouts of my handkerchief.

I suppose you think I should be grateful to you

I suppose you want something in return.

I suspect he means to use the Prince as a stick to beat my government.

I suspect that the cares of office are proving too much for her.

I swore to uphold the laws of this nation under God.

I tell them to cut along sharpish or I'll set the dogs on 'em.

I thank you for your advice, but I'm sure that we will do very well.

I think about Charlotte.

I think he will make you an excellent husband.

I think Her Majesty is distracted. Yeah.

I think I shall explore.

I think I shall return to the palace.

I think I should attend to the Queen.

I think I should be the one to resign, Ma'am.

I think I would like my wedding dress to be white.

I think if you are not my Prime Minister, you are still my friend?

I think if you were proposing to publish an essay, sir...

I think it was well received.

I think it would be best if you went back to Coburg.

I think it would be nice to live far away from the city.

I think it's going to be far more interesting

I think perhaps it's... time to go home.

I think that in Belgium we arrange these things better.

I think that is a wise decision, Ma'am.

I think that my brother will have a very happy marriage.

I think the people would appreciate it if the Duchess were given a title

I think the Queen is a lot stronger than you think, ma'am.

I think the way you handled it was faultless.

I think this is your victory...

I think you are being peevish, Albert.

I think you are right. You are tired after your journey.

I think you have a heart that is tender.

I think you might make the Lord Chamberlain's task a little easier

I think you must know why.

I think you will be impressed, Majesty, when the gas lighting is finally installed.

I think, in the circumstances,

I think, Miss Skerrett, you might be a genius.

I think, sir, that...

I think, sir, you have drawn what you see.

I think...

I think... that you flatter me, Duchess.

I think...perhaps you should have stayed in Coburg.

I thought I was going to have to beg for mercy there, Albert.

I thought I would go for a ride. It's such a lovely day.

I thought it might slip down over my nose in the Abbey.

I thought she blamed me over the business of the Prince's allowance.

I thought that was the English way of doing things.

I thought you would be pleased. We've won.

I told Albert I would settle this. How can I explain?

I told her it was nothing. I hope I was correct.

I trust you received our present?

I understand that I am obliged to ask you to form a government.

I understand that the Queen's confinement could be quite soon.

I understand that you have become acquainted with Sir Robert Peel.

I understand.

I used to fancy myself a good judge of men,

I want a small affair with a wedding breakfast afterwards

I want her so much...

I want this to be over.

I want to be her husband, but I cannot be like Dash,

I want to help her.

I want to show that you have right of precedence over the rest of my family.

I want to talk to you about your wife, Uncle.

I want you by my side because you...

I want you to find me a wet nurse immediately.

I wanted to tell you that I will be going back to Coburg shortly.

I was awarded an income of £50,000 a year.

I was in more danger when Uncle Cumberland was here.

I was made a knight on the eve of my wedding to poor Charlotte.

I was missing you so I wondered if you could help me.

I was not among them, Ma'am.

I was not aware that you were fighting a war, Ma'am.

I was not one of those English ladies who send their children away to be nursed.

I was playing in the park at Bad Homburg.

I was thinking...

I was wondering...

I will keep you safe. I promise.

I will miss you so much.

I will never forget it.

I will not let them take it away from you.

I will protect you, Drina.

I will.

I wish I could endure it for you. But, Victoria, listen to me. Listen...

I wish I could make you happy.

I wish I were an ordinary woman...

I wish so much now that I had given her

I wish things could still be decided at sword point.

I wish you had been there to hear me.

I won't give up. You belong at my side.

I won't have the Prince embarrassed.

I wonder if I should wave at the crowd?

I wonder if Wellington and Peel will feel the same way.

I wonder, Mr Anson, what you've been doing before now?

I would ask the same in his position.

I would be most grateful. Your German is far superior to my English.

I would call you Mrs Francatelli tomorrow.

I would ever have liked him half as much as I like you.

I would give it without reservation.

I would like to look my best tonight.

I would like to read those letters.

I would very much like to visit some of these places.

I wrote it But I am much happier now.

I wrote it when I was back in Coburg.

I...

I... I must... tell you, Ma'am,

I...I suggest we back him.

I...I thought that you did not care for him.

I'd heard reports of... an incident on your birthday and I was concerned.

I'd rather be an English duke than king of a German postage stamp,

I'd suggest you tell him that the Parliament that he admires so much

I'll get them.

I'll see what I can do to hasten things.

I'll shall fetch some butter from the kitchen.

I'm a married woman, Duchess.

I'm afraid I do not have Lord Melbourne's... ease of manner.

I'm afraid she has. She will not change a single lady.

I'm afraid that the strain of her position has disordered her senses.

I'm afraid the Baroness has failed to teach you about the ways of men.

I'm afraid, Ma'am, if the people get into the way of making kings

I'm afraid.

I'm confident neither of us shall find the experience taxing.

I'm expecting another load by the next post, Baroness.

I'm glad to be of some use.

I'm glad.

I'm going for a walk. Without the Prince?

I'm going to go to Dover House to see Lord M.

I'm going to make you a Knight of the Garter.

I'm just looking forward to getting better acquainted.

I'm not an imbecile.

I'm not dead yet.

I'm not ill.

I'm not the one eating beetroot. What?

I'm not thirsty.

I'm not to be disturbed!

I'm not your subject yet.

I'm plagued by people wanting to run the thing through my park.

I'm quite aware of that, Uncle.

I'm reading Shakespeare, Mr Penge.

I'm scared.

I'm sorry about the locomotive.

I'm sorry to say this may not be a popular match.

I'm sure he does now.

I'm sure the Duchess is concerned for her daughter's welfare.

I'm sure the Duchess of Kent would be delighted to step in,

I'm sure you will.

I'm sure you've seen many pretty faces, Mr Francatelli, but mine isn't one of them.

I'm surprised Uncle Sussex does not see that.

I'm trying to make a cake for the Queen's birthday,

I'm worried about its outcome.

I've already had Mr Francatelli here,

I've been summoned to the Palace for dinner.

I've been working for Lord Melbourne, Sir,

I've done that already.

I've work to do.

If an English jury believes this man is not of sound mind,

If anything should happen.

If he didn't have to go to the House.

If he's right, we'll have to appoint a regent.

If I let you in, miss, I can't let you out.

If I lose them, I will have no one! It'll be like Kensington all over again.

If I play my cards right, I might be Mrs Skerrett one day with an assistant of my own.

If I see Victoria, I will not stumble.

If I see you looking too stern I shall make an objection.

If I wanted things to stay...

If I went with him...

If I were a younger man, I would call him out.

If I were to form a government now,

If I wish to bring railways, or anything, to the attention of the English people,

If it's known that I support abolition...

If only I could take her place.

If only it could be a week, but I'm afraid I can only spare two days.

If only Lord M were here.

If only my neck were really so swanlike.

If Oxford goes free, then I become a prisoner.

If Oxford had taken a shot at me, bullets or no bullets.

If Oxford had taken a shot at me, he would be strung up by now,

If the Queen dies, are we to be ruled by a German?

If the Queen should not survive the travails of childbirth and if the infant should die,

If the Tories fail to condone your Regency...

If this persists, changes will be inevitable!

If this persists...

If violets were to be replaced with something harder.

If you are going to tell me that my marriage is illegal

If you do me the honour of asking me to form a ministry, Ma'am,

If you don't get up now, there won't be time to get ready.

If you go back far enough, my entire family is German.

If you had married a different kind of man,

If you instruct me to do so, ma'am, I shall certainly try

If you put them alongside the members of Young England...

If you succeeded in assassinating the Queen.

If you told her the cake wouldn't be ready, she

If you were to reduce the number of bridesmaids from 12 to... six.

If you were to replace one or two of them

If you will excuse me, Ma'am...

If you wish to make farmyard noises,

If you would give up your actresses, she wouldn't need to be.

If you would prefer not to be Regent when I am dead...

Ignore them and concentrate on producing an heir.

Imagine I'm kissing you here, around your neck...

In a hurry, Sir Robert?

In contrast to your estimable Uncle Cumberland,

In fact, I've arranged for you and the Prince to ride out with the Shifnal tomorrow.

In my experience.

In my kingdom there is no bleating about liberty,

In sickness and in health, so long as you both shall live?

In that case, I wish you a very good day.

In the Chapel Royal.

In the country known as "the land of the free".

In the evening?

In the future, Lehzen, I would like to receive all of the Queen's correspondence.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.

In what respect am I not fit?

Indeed it is. I must have dropped it somewhere.

Indeed, but as their Queen, you must expect them to have opinions.

Indeed, I would say it is an excellent likeness.

Indeed, sir.

Indeed? This is the moment to settle your household, title,

Indeed.

Indeed. He is altogether too indulgent of my niece's unstable temperament.

Indeed. So thoughtful of you.

Indeed. You, sir, pick up this detritus!

Indian cholera, most like.

Installing the gas downstairs has disturbed the rats. They're looking for new territory.

Into the inner tracks... I think we need to stop.

Into the sagging cleft of power!

Inverness?

Is bacon suitable?

Is better than anything you could offer me.

Is correct English for the field.

Is he going to find himself...

Is it medically demonstrable?

Is it safe to announce?

Is it so that you can keep a mistress?

Is Mr Penge wearing a new shirt? He looks uncommon smart.

Is repugnant to Christianity

Is that the Queen's wish?

Is that understood?

Is that what you think of me, Albert?

Is that what you think of me, Victoria?

Is that what you think?

Is that what you want, Victoria?

Is that why people marry these days? For things not to matter any more?

Is there something I can do for you?

Is this really necessary?

Is to exercise just a little power while you are alive.

Is you.

Is, by all accounts, an old fashioned gentleman

Isn't he the King of Hanover now?

Isn't it rather late for you to be out, Miss Skerrett?

It appears, Your Royal Highness, that Oxford's guns were not loaded.

It brings out the curve in your neck.

It can only be described as an infestation.

It can't be Uncle Leopold.

It doesn't appear to be raining.

It doesn't matter what happens to me.

It eliminates nausea.

It has all been done very prettily.

It has been the custom that the courtiers put the royal couple to bed.

It has caused too much disturbance.

It is a a a favoured occupation of the people.

It is a cause that has great support here across all parties and interests.

It is a great privilege.

It is a mistake to make one's mind up about a thing before one's tried it.

It is a shame you don't have a bigger head, Drina.

It is a subject about which I feel very strongly, meine Liebe,

It is also close to Drayton,

It is an unfortunate coincidence, then, that you should be here at the time of the attack

It is good that you are here today.

It is Her Majesty's wish that her husband be Prince Regent

It is incumbent upon Your Majesty

It is indeed, ma'am.

It is more convincing in relief, I think.

It is not an adult way to solicit power.

It is not her decision to make!

It is not my intention to deprive you of your friends, Ma'am,

It is not so unusual.

It is not what I am saying.

It is not you they object to, but the idea of you.

It is not your place to do things on my behalf!

It is quite adjacent.

It is so very nice to be back in England and know that one has not been forgotten.

It is such an insult.

It is the custom when the administration changes.

It is the very highest order of chivalry, Sir.

It is time to make way for a younger man.

It is too silly of us to expect you to remain at table.

It is too small for the crown, I think.

It is usual not to speak to royalty until you are spoken to.

It is your duty to consider what would happen next.

It made her so unhappy.

It makes the country feel youthful, don't you know.

It may be that...

It must raise the question as to the state of her wits.

It seems I can't manage unaided.

It seems to me, my niece has taken leave of her wits.

It seems Victoria wants me but her people do not.

It seems your Lord Melbourne turned you against me.

It should be for something I believe in.

It suits you.

It was a big frog. Stuffed.

It was disagreeable. It's over now.

It was merely a distraction from the very serious job of cheering you up.

It was merely me embracing England's destiny on your behalf.

It was nothing compared to the spectacle

It was wrong of me.

It was...in case Your Majesty was indisposed.

It will be so much faster if I sign and you blot.

It won't be long now.

It won't wash, Peel. What won't, Sir Piers?

It would be less... public.

It would be my pleasure to offer you all a demonstration.

It would make me so happy to have a real family.

It would not be in your interests.

It's a cake!

It's a shame about your allowance,

It's a very brave undertaking, if I may say so, sir.

It's all on account of the gas pipes.

It's been all of a day and a half.

It's for Mrs Jenkins. She burnt her hand lighting the gas.

It's from Sir Robert.

It's hard to know if he is her minister or her nursemaid.

It's hardly my style, is it?

It's just... That's rather funny.

It's late. This must be important.

It's madness, but I couldn't find the words to refuse.

It's my duty to show myself to my people.

It's my last night, Ernest.

It's never nice being left behind, Duchess.

It's no use, Victoria. I am not going to change my mind.

It's not an insult, Victoria.

It's not funny.

It's not just the size, Baroness.

It's not often that you find such accord.

It's not only men who need a breather from matrimony, my dear.

It's perfectly clear why they've invited themselves here.

It's quite cold today, ma'am. Are you sure you will be warm enough without your pelisse?

It's rather sad.

It's revolting.

It's started.

It's starting.

It's still legal in some Caribbean islands.

It's too late for that. This is the life I've got.

It's unconscionable!

It's wonderful.

It's yours.

Its members must condone my selection.

Ja sehr gut.

Ja.

Jenkins. Your Royal Highness?

Julius Caesar. Act Two, Scene Two.

Just as they are for perhaps a year or so...

Just ask him for a little time to consider.

Just be your charming self. They will adore you.

Just hurry up and produce a son so I may be a godfather, yeah.

Just remember, if he suggests anything that you don't like the sound of,

Just saying.

Just see me afterwards.

Just...

Just... speak up

Just...this.

Keep up.

King Charles I, ma'am, made such excursions

La bombe surprise.

Last time I saw her she was, what, this high?

Lay down on your back without moving till dinner.

Lehzen believes we must change with the times.

Lehzen said if I...

Lehzen, can you call my carriage?

Lehzen.

Let him do everything for you.

Let me go. I am not for sale.

Let me take you back to your room.

Let the Speaker be informed that the Tories wholeheartedly

Let us say, Peel, that her wits are fragile.

Let's go.

Let's hope so.

Liberals would applaud your good sense,

Licking up to the Queen's husband

Lift your arm. You have to look at the shape also.

Like a couple of foolish Maedchens, the carriage is outside.

Like a vulture circling its prey.

Like her grandfather.

Like me to abridge it for you, sir, and... put it into English?

Like my poor father.

Listen to me. Your nurse is a virgin,

Little Vicky told Peel she won't give up a single lady

London mobs are so easily procured.

Long live our noble Queen

Long live the Duchess of Kent!

Long live the Duchess!

Look at me.

Look at my situation.

Look at Prince Ernest.

Look at the coin itself, Ma'am.

Look at the mud on these. Very unlike Ma'am to get her things so dirty.

Look at you. You look like a peasant.

Look how happy the people are to see us.

Look what happened to Princess Charlotte.

Look what you've made me do.

Look, Mr Penge, reckon I could catch all of them by midnight.

Look, these stones are so dirty. They must be cleaned before we go to Hanover.

Lord knows...

Lord M said he had never seen someone tremble so.

Lord M, Uncle Leopold was given almost twice that.

Lord M!

Lord Melbourne says he no longer has the confidence of the House

Lord Melbourne, did you know that my father had a mistress?

Lord Melbourne, you forget yourself!

Ma Fletcher's nunnery, if I'm not mistaken?

Ma'am,

Ma'am, sorry to desert you but I'm afraid I've been called back to the House.

Ma'am! Ma'am! Calm yourself!

Ma'am?

Ma'am.

Macbeth, because he did murder most foul."

Madame St Laurent? Oh, yes.

Madeira perhaps?

Majesty, are you hurt?

Majesty, I have a list for the dinner this...

Majesty, Your Royal Highness,

Make sure you look after my brother.

Make way, make way. Ma'am, I believe a cart has broken down ahead.

Make way.

Mama, did you hear that?

Mama!

Mama! Mama!

Mama.

Mama... Albert and I have some news.

Manchester.

Mankind, born and brought up in a civilised society...

May I add my best wishes on your birthday, Ma'am.

May I ask where you stand on the matter of the Regency?

May I be of assistance, Ma'am?

May I congratulate you, Your Majesty.

May I have some butter?

May I kiss the bride?

May I present my wife?

May I?

Maybe marriage makes men less sociable.

Medical suitability has been suspended.

Men can travel for work. Families unite.

Men like Giffard, they recoil from enthusiasm.

Might I offer a word of advice?

Might I suggest we start the ceremony, Ma'am?

Mind you, my father behaved in this way, at the beginning of his affliction.

Mine does not.

Miss Mott and Miss Cabot, from Boston,

Miss Skerrett.

Mm!

Mm.

Moderates the flow of steam.

Morning, gentlemen.

Morning. Would you show His Royal Highness the controls, please?

Most of this contains industry.

Mr Bumps was so jealous of my miniature of Her Majesty

Mr Bumps, please curtsey to your Queen.

Mr Buxton has asked me to apologise in advance

Mr Francatelli's bombe surprise.

Mr Hedge, the whalebone man, says he can't leave his house

Mr Penge, a word.

Mr Penge, I am entrusting the Coburg servants into your care.

Mr Penge, we're going to be late.

Mr Penge!

Mrs Ashdown?

Mrs Jenkins is acting under my instructions, Penge.

Much...

Must appear to be above party politics

Must have someone sensible at the heart of things.

Must we have a state dinner tonight?

My angel.

My closest and dearest friends?

My congratulations, Duchess.

My cousin and her baby live down there. They need my help.

My darling, railway is not a subject to be paraded before the Giffards.

My darling. Whatever is the matter?

My dear Duchess...

My dear, I did not want to wake you.

My dear, you look so well.

My dearest angel, I am counting the hours, minutes and days

My desire for you will never fail.

My dressers? The housemaids?

My father used to see a red dog.

My grandfather?

My heart was beating so fast I thought the Archbishop would see it through my shift.

My household and my position.

My household?

My husband said they are worried about the Jamaica Bill. There is a lot of opposition.

My life has not been a happy one...

My little brother has had his first kiss.

My little Drina, is it really true?

My Lord. This is my private time.

My Lords, I call for a vote on the Jamaica Bill.

My lords, some decorum if you please!

My love.

My name is Charles Francatelli. I'm a... friend of Miss Skerrett's.

My name?

My own position, my own freedom.

My plans?

My poor child. You are so brave always,

My poor little girl.

My poor Victoria.

My Victoria.

My wife's happiness is everything to me.

N Nothing.

Nancy.

Nasty, dangerous business.

Needs to be coaxed rather than commanded.

Nein. Nein. Bringt eine andere.

Neither did I.

Never mind, Duchess.

Never! It is just some nerves.

Next to your wife when you go into dinner?

No diamonds.

No longer.

No need. I know who it is from.

No one can tell Victoria what to do.

No one is going to resign, Emma. You are my ladies and my friends.

No one seems to be smiling.

No one shoots in nothing new. Do you understand?

No one tells me anything.

No one wants a Queen who has lost her reason.

No one wants to believe that the head that wears the crown is anything less than sane,

No picture could truly do you justice, Ma'am, but this comes close.

No queen regnant has ever given birth before.

No riding, no dancing.

No stomach for the fight, eh?

No title and only 30,000 a year?

No, I don't think any more, I just feel.

No, I've never been to Chiswick,

No, indeed, but you must understand that it doesn't matter who you like or do not like!

No, indeed.

No, Majesty.

No, Mama. You shall remain here.

No, no, I am being honest, Victoria.

No, not...not necessarily.

No, sir. Do you consort with me

No, sir. I just describe what I see.

No, thank you.

No, that is too much.

No, the important thing now is to establish your position.

No, wait. You have!

No, what I would prefer, Victoria,

No, you will not. I will.

No!

No! Not tonight. Not until this matter is settled.

No?

No.

No. But I don't think Papa has ever fallen in love either.

No. No.

No. Not the only one.

Nonsense, man.

Nonsense. You have a happy marriage.

Not all your arrows miss their target.

Not an easy guest!

Not at all.

Not at any price.

Not bad at all.

Not bad, eh?

Not even for a few hours?

Not him, but one of his creatures.

Not in my interests?

Not in these circumstances.

Not mine.

Not much of a honeymoon.

Not particularly.

Not unless you were in Chiswick, Mr Francatelli.

Nothing but Sir James and his camphor lozenges,

Nothing more.

Nothing was proved, but I remember, no one had trouble believing he was guilty.

Nothing, Ma'am.

Now I don't believe in much, as you know,

Now I'm here, I'm a little nervous.

Now listen to me, Peel. I know you've had disappointments in your life.

Now that I'm married there will be changes.

Now that you don't have to play nursemaid to your royal charge?

Now that your Uncle Cumberland has returned.

Now the question is, how you got from a house

Now then...

Now you understand why Sir John and I kept you safe at Kensington.

Now, if you will excuse me, I have things to attend to.

Now, luncheon.

Now, please, Your Worships, you can take a seat in the carriage.

Now.

Obey me?

Of allying myself in marriage

Of any of those Whig harpies that surround her

Of course I am here. I am the heir presumptive

Of course I want children. Your children, Albert.

Of course it is. Nevertheless,

Of course it must.

Of course you would need many more assistants.

Of course, as you know, Ma'am,

Of course, Baroness

Of course, I mean knave.

Of course, if she were to be received at court, she would need a title.

Of course, Majesty. I am inexperienced in these matters.

Of course, the circumstances would have to be right.

Of course.

Of ill repute to the Queen's dressing room?

Of men throwing violets that she refuses to leave the palace?

Of Peel perspiring with the effort of being charming.

Of royal blood?

Of science. Embrace it.

Of the British And Foreign Anti Slavery Society.

Of what do you gentlemen speak?

Offering to set me up in my own establishment.

Oh ah ha ha!

Oh, Albert, we must get married as soon as possible.

Oh, and you detest camphor lozenges.

Oh, but I am not a cook, I am a chef.

Oh, Christ.

Oh, dearest Lehzen.

Oh, doesn't Harriet look charming?

Oh, don't worry, Miss Skerrett. I don't care where you come from.

Oh, erm, Lohlein is all I require.

Oh, extraordinary only in that I do not shoot, Your Majesty.

Oh, I am so bored of this.

Oh, I didn't mean to give you that impression, Ma'am.

Oh, I think the Queen looks eminently sane.

Oh, I was trying to light the new gas mantle, Ma'am.

Oh, Lord.

Oh, Mama.

Oh, no, Ma'am. No, he is happily married to Lady Cecilia Buggin.

Oh, no, you don't have to read them.

Oh, no. I do not seriously expect you to travel.

Oh, say something, Lehzen.

Oh, they have never been strong. Those awful bonnets.

Oh, we don't say "sick". We say "indisposed".

Oh, we shall be in office soon enough, but in the right circumstances.

Oh, well, I think there are some consolations.

Oh, you are a very fine piece.

Oh, you would be bored to tears. Wouldn't he, Lehzen?

Oh, you're wrong.

Oh!

Oh! And let there be light!

Oh.

Oh. Extraordinary to find you here.

On 20,000 a year.

On the contrary, ma'am.

On the wrong side of the blanket.

On what?

Once I got away from the bloodhounds it became a little easier.

Once they scent a man is down, they circle looking for weaknesses.

Once you have done that...

One day this city is going to burst.

One day, I'll put her on a donkey and pack her off to Carlisle.

One is a hollow cylinder and the other is a silly Hollander."

One is anxious not to end one's reign as did King Charles.

One moment... Ma'am.

One must not stand in the path of progress, sir.

One that elects its government and abides by the rule of law.

One who saw the way the curls fell on your neck in his dreams,

One who thought about you every moment you were apart,

One, two, three, four, five,

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...

Only reason he talks to you is to ginger up support for his Regency.

Or indeed what you spoke about, it's hard for me to say.

Or me, Mama.

Or perhaps I'm yet to make...

Or to four?

Or you'll spoil my surprise.

Order!

Otherwise I feel the people may not accept me as their Regent.

Otherwise Sir Robert will feel he does not have your support,

Our informant says not.

Our little Queen has become rather good at getting what she wants.

Out of the question. I have an engagement this afternoon.

Over a man like my brother Cumberland should be changed.

Over a rat?

Oxford is to be detained at Bedlam at Your Majesty's pleasure.

Oxford will pay the penalty for treason.

Papa had a mistress?

Papa used to talk to himself...

Parliament is not hypothetical.

Parliament, of course, must ratify.

Pedal engages the eccentrics.

Peel does not understand this, but you do.

Peel is a... he's a fine politician and a man of principle

Peel may put aside his scruples when he realises what is at stake.

Peel. The engine. To go alone.

Peel's not such a bad fellow really.

Peevish? This word I do not understand.

Penge can administrate the household. It's what he's for.

Penge is right, you know. We should all be thinking about our future, just in case.

Perfectly natural, sir.

Perhaps I am in agreement, Mr Penge.

Perhaps I could be of some assistance?

Perhaps I could help you with your aim, Duchess.

Perhaps I should mention that Parliament were unanimous in supporting Albert asregent.

Perhaps if I might have a private audience?

Perhaps it was easier to believe...

Perhaps not, but I am not the man

Perhaps that comes later, Ma'am.

Perhaps that's where I've seen you before, running errands?

Perhaps you are right.

Perhaps you'd like to open your presents, Ma'am?

Perhaps, I should ask my new secretary to translate it for me.

Perhaps, Ma'am, you should take my carriage.

Perhaps, sir, you would like to acknowledge some of the wedding presents.

Perhaps.

Piers, you're quite mad. Her Majesty cannot tax herself

Please excuse me, I am tired after my journey.

Please make sure they are treated with respect.

Please open the door, Majesty.

Please stay a moment, Lord Melbourne.

Please, from now on, let me guide the conversation.

Please, stay here.

Please.

Please. At least...

Please... don't tell on me, Mr Francatelli.

Poor Mr Hedge.

Portland.

Power must be seen to come from me.

Precisely.

Prince Albert is very concerned

Prince Albert will be on the next packet back to Coburg,

Princess Charlotte was a healthy young woman,

Princess Charlotte wore gold brocade, if I remember correctly.

Probably just the wind, Ma'am.

Public opinion is not known for its logic, Ma'am.

Put an end to a state of things...

Queens do not chase after their prime ministers.

Quite right.

Rather too much "should".

Really, I wish people would wait until afterwards.

Really, Ma'am? You looked so serene.

Really?

Really? And he sent you to find me?

Regard tonight's excursion as part of your education.

Regulator controls the motion.

Rejoicing in the digging of coal.

Remember Charlotte.

Remember you must... speak up.

Remember, the plan tonight is that you will take me into dinner.

Restless.

Robert Peel for Prime Minister!

Rome wasn't built in a day.

Royal weddings usually take place in the evening, Ma'am.

Safer?

Satisfactory conversation.

Sausage eater can hit 'em! A most singular man.

See, she has Melbourne by her side again.

Seems to have lost all sense of propriety.

Send me.

Sequestered from the cares of her position.

Set your mind at rest.

Shall I go, Majesty?

Shall I ring for some Negus, Majesty?

Shall we?

She asked me to give you this.

She asked me to tell you how grateful she is.

She can just... walk in?

She didn't shed a rod, her wheels didn't fall off...

She dismissed me like a footman caught stealing the silver.

She does hate to be proved wrong.

She does not like to wait.

She does not realise how vulnerable you are.

She does tend to find the detail a trifle wearisome.

She even has a child.

She had no regrets, your friend? She worships that child, ma'am.

She had to cross Europe in a stagecoach,

She is a young girl with a tendresse for a man.

She is not a queen and I am not a cow.

She said, all that unpleasantness, it was like it never happened.

She says, "No doctor", then she sends for the doctor...

She seems incapable of taking care of the business of government.

She sets great store by the Queen's birthday.

She should not have to bear them alone.

She will think this is all her doing.

She would be yours if you would just flirt with her a little.

She's always been prone to hysteria, ever since she was a child.

She's from Newport, Baroness.

She's here to pimp for his Regency.

She's no longer handling my unofficial correspondence.

She's rather cross that HRH has gone off somewhere without her.

She's the one that ordered the gas to be put in.

She's trying to get Melbourne back, of course,

She's very happy in her new lodgings.

Should I tell him he can call me Jonas if he wants?

Shrubs are my speciality, sir.

Simply because it is inconvenient.

Simply to ask you to be friendly to all.

Since we last met, I have declared the intention

Since you are tactless enough to allude to such an event in front of the Queen,

Sir John at least cares about my existence.

Sir Piers, what is your view of the railway?

Sir Piers.

Sir Robert is concerned there might be trouble

Sir Robert Peel has been tireless in his efforts,

Sir Robert Peel will be Prime Minister one day.

Sir Robert Peel.

Sir Robert Peel's residence. Oh, Lord.

Sir Robert reminds me of an exhibit I saw in Salzburg.

Sir Robert, do you consort with me

Sir Robert, take a look at these designs for the new coin.

Sir Robert.

Sir.

Six whole weeks.

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Slums like Seven Dials,

Smart enough to know that what I have here at the palace

So do I.

So fatiguing... I am quite well, thank you.

So how does one pass one's time in Staffordshire?

So I have decided if I am to be held up to scrutiny,

So kind of her to stay in town with me,

So long as you both shall live?

So make yourself fit for us.

So many?

So that I could be born in England.

So this kind of behaviour is quite unexceptional to him,

So what will you do now, William?

So you are authorising me to hire a rat catcher?

So you invited a selection of some of the most disreputable women in London into the palace?

So you will have no difficulty in moulding her to your views.

So you will not be following your mother's example?

So young and with such responsibilities.

So, er...

So, have you done this before?

So, now the real work begins.

So, Uncle, do you think your wife could be agreeable?

So, you should decide how urgent your business is.

So...

Some...

Someone who understands our ways.

Someone who would inherit the throne,

Sometimes the voting can take ages, Ma'am.

Speak English.

Speak freely before the Prince.

Specifically, ma'am, if the child survived you.

Spend an hour in the company of Gretchen here

Sport is not my metier. I am unused to it.

St Chrysostom is waiting for me in the library at Brocket Hall.

Still has a cough

Straighter.

Such a big change.

Such a delight to see my favourite niece.

Such a splendid day.

Suggests a woman in pregnancy should not exert herself.

Support Her Majesty's choice of Regent.

Supposing one of the horses were to bolt,

Supposing think what might happen to the baby.

Surely slavery was abolished a long time ago?

Surely that is for me to decide?

Surely you cannot believe that a senior member of the British royal family

Surely, dear, Baroness is needed here to administrate...

Surely, I have enough for both of us?

Surely, whom I marry is my decision?

Surprised he didn't cross himself when he came in.

Surprised you're not at the House, my lord.

Sutherland would not stir from the country

Take this. Make it again.

Tell me, Mr Brodie, are you to be trusted?

Tell me, please. There's nothing we cannot face.

Tell me.

Tell Sir Robert I shall be pleased to see him.

Tell them all to go away!

Telling me that six weeks is not long enough for him

Ten times?

Thank God, it was only a man with flowers.

Thank the Lord.

Thank you for letting me come.

Thank you, Baroness,

Thank you, Captain Childers,

Thank you, Mama.

Thank you, Penge.

Thank you, Sir Robert.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'll get this to the Queen directly.

Thank you...

That allowed a young, inexperienced girl to take the throne

That at least means the extraordinary rumours concerning my involvement

That depends.

That he wouldn't let me alone till I got him one too.

That His Serene Highness will not be given an English title

That however many mistakes I have made,

That if I were to return as Prime Minister,

That is encouraging news. But quite academic.

That is most gracious, Ma'am.

That is ridiculous! Possibly in your country, not in mine...

That is shocking.

That is the most magnificent thing I have ever seen.

That is the third time you've looked at your pocket watch since we arrived.

That is unlikely.

That is what this country needs.

That is why I abolished the constitution in Hanover.

That reflects her position.

That rules should be altered when they become inconvenient.

That seems fitting to me.

That spouses are given the respect they are due.

That the Queen and Prince might care for each other, Mr Penge?

That the Sovereign may not marry a Roman Catholic

That this...folly...

That was a fine speech.

That will be all, Lehzen.

That will be all, Penge.

That will include some n**** slaves that have escaped their bonds.

That would put her in harm's way?

That you ask the Duke of Wellington to form a government.

That your image fills my whole soul.

That's a feat in itself.

That's a system I am familiar with.

That's as it should be.

That's correct.

That's enough, Mr Penge!

That's er... none of your business. That means you haven't.

That's extraordinary.

That's magnificent.

That's my business.

That's the trouble with gas, it shines light on things you would rather not see.

That's what happens when you interfere with nature.

That's your summons. What are you going to tell her?

That's...

The ayes to the right, the no's to the left, gentlemen.

The baby will tell you what it wants.

The Baroness is not...competent.

The Baroness says the wedding is set for the tenth of February.

The bells are ringing!

The better part of valour is discretion, Your Serene Highness.

The brain, liver, the lungs.

The butler gave these to me for the Prince.

The chance to... do something good.

The consequences are far reaching.

The country will not take kindly to being ruled by a German.

The court rejoices in your news.

The crown is so heavy and far too big for me.

The cure for every ailment known to woman...

The dog is wearing jewellery. Is this an English custom?

The dogs wear jewellery, the pianos are out of tune

The Duchess and I are ready to shoulder the burden of government.

The Duchess and King Leopold are coming back from their walk.

The Duchess... wants no harm to come to her daughter.

The Duke is a Tory, Ma'am.

The Duke of Portland gave me the cut direct?

The Duke of Sussex is most singular.

The Duke of Wellington would think it were a Catholic conspiracy!

The Duke of Wellington.

The favour I asked for in my note.

The first time you speak, you should call him 'Your Royal Highness'.

The Foreign Secretary, be attending,

The frog is here.

The funny thing is, a few weeks ago he would have been delighted.

The girls should come from families of unblemished reputation.

The Honourable Lord Hastings.

The Jamaica Bill passed by only five votes this evening.

The King of Hanover has returned.

The latest research in Germany

The Lord Chamberlain, Your Majesty.

The Lord Chamberlain.

The man tried to kill us.

The most important thing right now is for you and I to have a healthy child.

The muffin man!

The music, sir. It is very...well constructed.

The next vote we would certainly lose. I'd rather leave now.

The older the better. That's all you need.

The one thing the people hate more than a German is a Papist.

The only person I want to please... is you.

The only way to avoid conception is erm...

The only woman I want...

The others had given you up but I knew you would come.

The Palace Chef.

The party of Burke and Pitt, has been

The pillow was wet through this morning.

The Prince dines with the Queen.

The Prince has no power to be solicited.

The Prince is most fortunate, I think.

The Prince must sing as he's being undressed.

The Prince's party has already left for the chapel.

The Prince's Uncle, Leopold, became a Papist

The proceedings have not yet begun.

The public like having a young Queen.

The pulse is a little weak. You must rest, ma'am.

The Queen blames the Tories for everything,

The Queen has asked me to find a wet nurse.

The Queen has deployed her arsenal.

The Queen has requested a dish of bacon and peas.

The Queen has requested that you join her in the Throne Room

The Queen is a young, healthy woman!

The Queen is so fragile, so delicate...

The Queen is stubborn.

The Queen knew about it. She considered him harmless enough.

The Queen Mother.

The Queen must have sweetbreads in broth.

The Queen must not know. She has a great fear of these animals.

The Queen refuses to make any changes to her household. Therefore I cannot proceed.

The Queen should take care.

The Queen wants these set in wax before they fade.

The Queen wishes to see you, My Lord.

The Queen would like to see you at your earliest convenience.

The Queen, the Prince, you. You're what's next.

The Queen's correspondence, Baroness.

The relationship between Crown and Parliament is a sacred one

The royal stallion needs time to cover his mare.

The Scots, you know, they... they have a curious expression.

The Society appears to have connections to the continent.

The thing is, Miss Skerrett, I have friends in Seven Dials.

The things that a young man would say...

The Tories are like hyenas, Ma'am.

The Tories have taken up the cause because they think it can bring down my government.

The usual protocols which prevent you from attending do not apply to me.

The vehicle runs on wheels which have...flanges,

The world is leaving her behind. She's afraid.

Then he is as wise as he is fortunate.

Then I am sorry to have bothered you,

Then I believe you are nine years too late.

Then I must ask the Baroness the same question.

Then I must wish you bon voyage.

Then I think your experience would be different.

Then I will merely kill myself.

Then I will remarry. Ridiculous!

Then I would accept.

Then it will be my pleasure to serve you, Ma'am.

Then she will look to her husband, not to me.

Then the Duke of Cumberland will not just be King of Hanover,

Then the economy of the island will be imperilled.

Then there would be no danger of you appearing to favour one side.

Then they can pay for the roof, which is leaking

Then they will all respect you.

Then we must accept that verdict,

Then you get used to one another and...

Then you must be aware that it is time for you

Then, Albert, I shall do it myself!

Then, my dear...you must be ill.

Then, please understand that all I've asked for is so that I could

There are workmen with dirty boots in my kitchen, Mr Penge.

There is another thing, sir. The Young England Society.

There is no evidence that the guns were loaded.

There is no place for me here...

There is no...polite English word.

There is nothing to be scared of.

There is some suggestion that he carries an hereditary taint.

There is something I must tell you.

There is something more important here than my feelings, or even yours.

There is the Duke of Sussex.

There is the question of your household, Ma'am.

There it is.

There she is.

There was a time, Mama, when I needed your protection.

There was one the size of a baby, and not a new born one neither.

There were many people in this country who thought that a system

There will be a delegation of American abolitionists

There will be pain, yes, but...

There you are, Conroy.

There you are.

There's an anti slavery bill going through Parliament.

There's his carriage.

There's something about your very charming face that's familiar.

These daily drives of yours. London seems so volatile to me.

These levers control the valves.

They are my allies.

They are wrong.

They could have voted for you, of course,

They find it un English.

They laugh at my clothes, they sneer at my accent.

They might get into the way of unmaking them.

They must be dealt with discreetly.

They remember your grandfather.

They were more direct times, Ma'am.

They were surveying the railway, I think.

They will not treat you like this when you have a son.

They won't give you the funds Uncle Leopold had

They're all waiting for me to speak. I can never think of anything interesting to say.

They're spreading through the palace like a miasma of corruption.

They're the beaters, sir. They're driving the birds towards us.

Things don't seem to matter so urgently.

Think of it as a university... of love.

This bar bar ous trade is repugnant to Christianity

This bar bar ous trade is repugnant to the spirit of Christianity.

This barbaric practice must be abhorrent to all civilised people.

This barbarous trade

This butler wants your master to look a fool.

This cannot be.

This does not mean I approve.

This is my country!

This is surely a matter, ma'am, that is purely hypothetical?

This is the best way to help her.

This is the future!

This is the party of gentlemen.

This is where you end up, if you believe in a man's promise.

This is your home, Albert.

This letter mentions instructions to come from Hanover.

This moment, yes.

This morning she had to have beetroot, a vegetable.

This situation is getting out of hand, Melbourne.

This time, it seems, we are on the same side.

This was your victory, my angel...

This, apparently, is the very discomfort the railway eliminates.

This...

Those trousers aren't proper kit for nothing but fancy dress.

Though I believe he was instrumental in reducing my allowance by 20,000.

Though why they had to start down here I will never know.

Three for a penny.

To abolish that atrocious traffic in human beings

To anyone.

To ask you to make some changes in your household.

To be a woman without a man to lean on is so hard.

To be convincing, it would be necessary

To be received at Court as a Duchess?

To call someone to form a government, Ma'am.

To create the wedding cake he has in mind.

To have your public support would be of inestimable value.

To include like minded people from around the world

To install a member of the British royal family

To live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony?

To look after him.

To look up over one's stew

To make me feel I own no other function...

To nominate a Regent

To Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Gotha.

To protest against the continuation of this barbarity.

To put those rumours to rest... Melbourne.

To ride with the hounds in her condition.

To stay here, now that Melbourne has gone.

To the Duchess of Sutherland.

Today, I see the locomotive.

Together.

Too busy overturning the constitution in Hanover.

Too busy preparing for government.

Tories would think I'd filled your head with bunkum.

Truly happy marriages are rare.

Try telling the Baroness anything.

Two days at the Castle and parties every night.

Two whole days?

Uncle Leopold.

Uncle Sussex.

Uncle.

Under the Royal Marriages Act.

Understood, Ma'am.

Unfortunately, Uncle Leopold did not spend that money with discretion.

Until I see you again.

Until it has finally, and forever,

Until the wedding, dear sister.

Very good, sir. And erm...

Very possibly. But I will not give up my ladies.

Victoria does not like him.

Victoria, I have decided to attend the Anti Slavery convention.

Victoria, I hope you will be able to sort out the matters

Victoria, I seek only to serve it.

Victoria, please.

Victoria, wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband,

Victoria, you know I would have liked to have... chosen my own household.

Victoria! Victoria!

Victoria?

Victoria.

Visiting Melbourne at his house on a whim is hardly rational.

Walking down that aisle, like a fairy tale.

Wanting the most peculiar things for breakfast.

Was there a rat, or was it an hallucination?

Was your escape very difficult, Mr Barrett?

We already are.

We are not amused.

We are related on your side of the family,

We can come to some sort of... arrangement together.

We cannot have Germans running the country!

We do need the approval of the Privy Council.

We do not usually meet so early in the morning.

We don't know each other.

We found a letter telling Oxford to await instructions from Hanover.

We have many distinguished supporters.

We have organised a convention, Ma'am,

We have talked about it, Mama.

We have this moment. We are together. That is all that matters.

We hunt, ma'am.

We invented it.

We just... take care of the clothes...

We must fix Albert's allowance. I want it settled before he returns.

We must start as we mean to go on. Together.

We must talk about my title.

We shall be attended by a very few.

We shall be so light, we shall travel like the wind.

We shall observe, Lady Beatrice.

We should discuss my nephew's allowance.

We stand on the brink of a modern revolution, Victoria.

We usually say Leicester, sir.

We will care for her together.

We will do better than our parents, I think.

We will go for a drive this afternoon.

We will go for a drive This is madness.

We wondered, Ma'am, whether you would open the proceedings.

We would be most honoured by your presence, Your Royal Highness.

We wouldn't put in our curl papers last night.

We've been replaced, Lord Melbourne.

We've hardly spoken to one other.

We've only just come back from our honeymoon.

Weasel.

Wedding bells. I must go.

Welcome home.

Welcome to England, Mr Barrett.

Welcome, Your Majesty.

Well shot, sir.

Well, he knows what he's about.

Well, her behaviour is certainly erratic, sir, yes. Yes.

Well, I believe there is an actress, Ma'am,

Well, I see nothing wrong with it, Ma'am.

Well, I would like to stay...

Well, I'd rather be a king than an attendant lord.

Well, if Mrs Jenkins vouches for you.

Well, if none of us has the moral courage to stand up to Peel,

Well, it is three o'clock and I have my bonnet on.

Well, it seems to be the case that many artefacts

Well, it's only to be expected, Mr Penge.

Well, she is "indisposed" out of her mouth.

Well, that usually comes later, Ma'am, but no.

Well, that, my Lord, is something I can do without a moment's hesitation.

Well, the first year is always hard.

Well, the Queen is back from her honeymoon.

Well, then, why the long face?

Well, there is presently one on my property at Drayton.

Well, yes. Oh, yes, of course.

Well, you are a master of the situation, Mr Penge.

Well, you are correct.

Well, you are now my official taster.

Well, you flatter me, Ma'am,

Well, you should go home. I must face this alone.

Well, you're hardly in a position to do so.

Well...

Wellington? Peel? Maybe both.

Wellington's not too old to take the reins, you know.

What a barbaric practice.

What a handsome couple they will make,

What all men of honour must do, Follow their consciences.

What all men of honour must do, ma'am.

What are all those men doing there?

What are those gentlemen doing?

What are you doing?

What are you saying, Mama?

What colour will it be, Ma'am?

What did the doctor say?

What did they say?

What do you mean?

What do you think of this?

What do you think, Duchess?

What does the King or the Duke, whatever he is, have to do with it?

What have you done to your hand, Mrs Jenkins?

What if you had been killed?

What is it that Shakespeare says?

What is it? Brandy mixed with cream.

What is wrong with beetroot? It's peasant food.

What is wrong with being German?

What kind of fever is it?

What might the people say when they hear their Queen is so frightened

What was it you used to say I was?

What was that?

What would he do?

What would you advise them to do?

What's that noise?

What's that?

Whatever next, Sir Robert?

Whatever our own feelings.

Whatever she thinks of Lord Melbourne does not concern you.

When he became King of the Belgians.

When I am not going to see you for six weeks?

When I have my own establishment, I'll need someone at my side.

When I looked up...

When I married my poor, dear Charlotte,

When I marry you tomorrow, it will be as an ordinary woman.

When I took the coronation oath,

When I'm at my sugar work and I find it hard to concentrate because...

When I'm surrounded by noise and dust and whistling?

When in doubt, always delay.

When our mother left...

When you are my husband?

When you say..."our regions", sir, do you mean the counties of England?

When you should be chasing the bastards off your land.

When you two have finished embracing

Where are you going?

Where I shall fanfare you as Regent.

Where that species of behaviour is tolerated.

Where you can be free from the German tyrant.

Where's the Queen?

Which allows him to sit in the other place?

Which necktie do you prefer?

While you indulge in fruitless speculation, Mrs Jenkins,

Whilst her husband has gone back to Ragsby.

Whilst regicides go unpunished.

Who are you calling disreputable?

Who in our family can say that?

Who is this monkey?

Who was a slave in Virginia until he made a most valiant escape.

Who went mad.

Who will be acting as your Private Secretary?

Who will you marry?

Who's running the country?

Whoa.

Whose household is paid for by your uncle.

Why did you never tell me?

Why do we have to talk about money now,

Why do you grab me with that, Lehzen?

Why does the allowance mean so much to you?

Why don't you give her one of your little wafers to dip in?

Why don't you play something on the piano?

Why is he asking for money and titles when he will be your husband?

Why not?

Why should it matter?

Why would I do that?

Why, Duke,

Why?

Why? Because these people like the Giffards

Will always be you, but I cannot sit idly

Will he also give birth for me, Mama?

Will you be very long, Mr Hayter?

Will you do what I ask?

Will you give it to me?

Wilt thou love her, comfort her,

Wilt thou obey and serve him, love, honour and keep him

Wishing to croak at you.

With all the extra expense that entails?

With ladies connected to my side of the house,

With respect.

With the Duchess as Regent?

With this ring I thee wed...

With what he called A company of 500 horse.

With what he called his "modest night bag".

Without forfeiting the throne?

Women are queer cattle.

Would contemplate regicide?

Would those instructions be from a royal personage, Mr Oxford?

Would want Mr Francatelli to work in peace.

Would you be kind enough to explain them to me?

Would you care to rest, ma'am?

Would you erm...

Would you want to go into battle alone?

Would Your Majesty find such a prospect diverting?

Wouldn't I?

Wouldn't you like to start again?

Yeah!

Yes, because I feel it is very important

Yes, I believe she would.

Yes, I remember.

Yes, I thought he might.

Yes, I went to Harriet's room last night.

Yes, Majesty.

Yes, Miss Skerrett, I do.

Yes, of course. Any Prime Minister knows that.

Yes, she is a keen toxophilite.

Yes, sir.

Yes, there is.

Yes!

Yes?

Yes.

Yes. Anything in particular?

Yes. Come on, show me what you've brought.

Yes. He loves the Queen enough.

Yes. It is one of the Sovereign's discretionary titles.

Yes. Rather more your sort of thing than mine.

Yes. Thank you, Emma, I will take your carriage. Lehzen, you can be my chaperone.

Yesterday I had a conversation.

You accuse Sir Robert of looking like a stuffed frog?

You always say the truth is over rated.

You and Albert,

You and the Prince are so different.

You and your dear Sir Robert?

You approve of it, Sir Robert?

You are a queen.

You are a sheep in wolf's clothing.

You are going to be a mother.

You are going to look at my body and be revolted. I...

You are going to make a speech?

You are magnificent.

You are marrying the Queen of the richest nation in the world.

You are more complicated than I thought, Miss Skerrett.

You are my monkey.

You are my Queen.

You are still young and inexperienced,

You are strong.

You are the Queen of the greatest nation on earth,

You are too sensitive.

You are with child?

You can have butter if you like, but I can give you something better.

You can tell me what has brought you from the Palace.

You can?

You can't abdicate. Then I will merely leave.

You can't abdicate. You're not the monarch.

You can't come down here, miss.

You can't see it, but it's there, hanging in the air.

You cannot mean that, sir.

You continued to draw in the 20 years since Princess Charlotte died.

You could hear her all over the Palace.

You count as alone.

You did not find it necessary to inform me of this correspondence?

You do me a great honour, Ma'am.

You do not like being with child because it means you cannot dance

You do not shoot?

You do realise, Mr Oxford, we can charge you with treason.

You don't have to make a speech.

You don't suppose she's done something stupid?

You flatter me, Ma'am,

You have always been too sensitive.

You have arranged things very well, Ma'am.

You have banished me from your affections.

You have no idea of the sacrifice involved in being a mother.

You have such...such fortitude.

You haven't eaten your beetroot, ma'am.

You imagine I resent being left here by the Queen.

You invented it. No, you invented it.

You just leave those rats alone, boy. I've got plans for them, big plans

You know how much I want you to take your rightful place

You know how soothing you find it at night.

You know I famously have no taste, of course. I'm German.

You know what it takes to be a monarch.

You know what would make that even better?

You know what you ought to do?

You know, I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting the King.

You know, Lehzen is misinformed.

You know, no one, not even Albert, looks at me any more.

You know, on the way here, I was actually cheered.

You know, Sir Piers, I rather enjoyed riding on the railway.

You know, the last time I saw him he was wearing a skull cap and rouge.

You know, the whole world would have me trussed up in bed all day.

You know, Uncle...

You know, when the children come,

You like it?

You look rather more at home here than you do in a muddy field.

You may be about to marry the richest woman in the world, Albert,

You mean my little flirtation?

You might find it enlightening.

You might want to omit the line about obeying your husband.

You misunderstand me, Your Majesty.

You must be strong for what lies ahead.

You must convince Albert to reconsider.

You must dine with Robert Peel.

You must find an expert.

You must have complete rest, so that your equilibrium can be restored.

You must like her very much.

You must not start at shadows, or people will whisper about you.

You must tell the Baroness that I cannot work under these conditions.

You need to be rested for your birthday celebration.

You once told me...

You pander to the railway

You poodlefake and pussyfoot about the gormless German.

You pretend to be what my mother would call a rake,

You promised me you would not continue with this.

You promote the costive Coburg as our Regent?

You put it bluntly but...

You remind me so much of her.

You said that came afterwards.

You say manufacturing and my soul shrivels with boredom.

You scare them.

You see, it is not your mother you should be sending north.

You see, you needn't have worried.

You should be forced to walk into dinner after my uncles.

You should be the champion of what is coming.

You should learn to win her over like Melbourne does.

You should send for Robert Peel.

You still see me, don't you, Lehzen?

You think I'm doing the right thing?

You think I'm foolhardy? I see.

You think that Oxford is my uncle's creature?

You think that this is harmless?

You think you can run faster than the constable?

You trusted me.

You want me to give up my ladies?

You want to know what will happen if I die.

You want to talk about Cecilia?

You were a soldier, Duke.

You were in her room.

You were needed elsewhere.

You were seen, Ernest, coming out of her room.

You were so scared, and yet I was always there to catch you.

You will allow me to share the burden of your duties?

You will be my husband.

You will be the cynosure of all eyes.

You will miss him very much?

You won't be able to care for anyone if he abandons you with a bun in the oven.

You won't be bringing any money of your own.

You wouldn't dare!

You wrote to me?

You're allowed to say something.

You're braver than the doctor. He won't come down here.

You're determined to see me dragged around some morbid display of traction engines.

You're extraordinary.

You're in the wrong job, Miss Skerrett.

You're not tired any more?

You're not very sympathetic.

You're safe.

You're strong.

You're tired. I'm not tired.

You've been had, boy.

You've done your hair differently, Duchess.

You've got children.

Young England will make sure that my name lives on.

Young England?

Your daughter has told Peel she will not get rid

Your first of many more as Queen, I hope.

Your Highness.

Your honeymoon was not a long campaign, Ma'am.

Your host, Sir Piers Giffard,

Your husband is a man, your doctor is a fool.

Your Majesty is pale.

Your Majesty,

Your Majesty, forgive me approaching you in such an uncouth manner, but...

Your Majesty, perhaps we should move on.

Your Majesty, surely you understand what is at stake here?

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty. Did you see just now,

Your Majesty. Sir Piers.

Your Majesty. Sir Robert.

Your mama isn't going to be told what to do by Sir Robert Peel or anyone else.

Your man's shooting tomorrow. Does he have the kit?

Your mother is er...

Your Queen is sick.

Your real name, that is, the name you were born with.

Your Royal Highness,

Your Royal Highness, the Queen is asking for you, sir.

Your Serene Highness, may I present George Anson,

Your Uncle Cumberland would like nothing better than to bring down poor William.

12 good men and true, so gullible, so...inefficient.

19 years of age, working until recently at the Hog in the Pound tavern near Oxford Street.

80 per cent proof.

Aagh! Oh, Mrs Jenkins!

And for the country. That too, sir, of course.

And if I insist? You cannot, Ma'am.

And who are you, her protector? No.

are physically and morally speaking... I have been induced...

Are you one too, Lord Melbourne? No, Sir.

Aren't you happy now, Albert? Of course. But...

But everything I have is yours. That's exactly my point.

But such things cannot be taught. You'd be surprised.

Close your eyes. Not likely.

Don't you think, Duke? Women!

Don't you? No.

everything will be different. That is what everyone says but...

Faint, Majesty? Yes.

For the baby? She won't stop coughing.

God save the Queen... Look. Oh, it's dear little Dash.

He was lucky to have you. No, I was the lucky one.

I can make you tell me, you know. I'd like to see you try!

I deeply... to the great interests of humanity...

I have to find a place for myself. Ah!

I hope I am not late. No, Ma'am.

I know Albert is different. I'm sure, Ma'am.

I see nothing but trouble ahead. Why can't you admit

I thought that was not permitted. This one is in my gift.

I will take the bill to Parliament. And he must have a title.

I'm glad to hear it, Ma'am. So, you do approve?

I've been so worried. Chin up, hey?

If she invites me. Oh...!

Is it very painful? It could have been worse, Ma'am.

May I come in? You shouldn't. It's not safe.

Maybe I can help. Why would you help me?

Morning, Your Royal Highness. Anson.

No Madeira? No Madeira.

Not even one? I think I've made myself clear.

Not yet anyway. Mama!

Nothing is settled yet, Father. Nonsense, boy.

Now you are being rude. No.

Now? Please forgive me.

Oh, how adorable! He's been practising all day.

Oh, poor soul. What's the matter, Mrs Jenkins?

Oh, thank you, Miss...? Skerrett, sir.

Promise me you will take care. I will be fine, brother.

Really, sir, I'm not... Please, leave the lady alone.

She's a married woman, Ernest. I know.

She's not there. Ssh.

Tell me. No.

That is the muffin man. The muffin man?

The boxes are here, Majesty. I won't be long, my angel.

The throne room? Indeed, Baroness.

This is a house of ill repute. No.

through your mother. Indeed?

What children? Our children.

Who made this? Mr Francatelli, Your Majesty.

Why are we running away? I don't want Mama to see us.

Yes, Majesty. But I don't want any changes just yet.

You have been most resourceful, Ma'am. Sir Robert was so rough with me.

You might do something complicated. Oh, please.

You would? Yes.

Your Majesty. Uncle.

Your place is by my side. I know.

.. and make sure... she looks like a Queen.

.. and scream at nothing in particular.

.. but better the devil you know."

.. but the Queen's reaction was, er... excessive.

.. changes will be inevitable.

.. for the country.

.. how do you turn this thing on?

.. I am sure the Duchess will want what is best for her daughter.

.. that may not be your decision.

...abstinence.

...Albi tried so hard not to cry.

...and soon we will have our own family.

...but I am the son of a King and I will not give up my birthright.

...don't tell the Prince until afterwards.

...five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

...for your speech, to give you my support.

...here among your curtseying dogs.

...how I might do that.

...however much I might want to.

...I am glad to see so many people here.

...it's not as easy as it seems.

...less enlightened nations, most notably America.

...Nancy.

...not mine.

...not yet.

...of the benevolment and persevering exertions of England

...our exertions in so holy a cause,

...sir.

...that is what I would like.

...this great country will not relax in its efforts

...to preside over the meeting of this Society

..an actress, like Uncle Leopold?

..and carry me over the threshold of the Rosenau.

..and he has accepted.

..and how often I want to kiss you when I return.

..and she didn't kill Prince Albert.

..and she will never leave you.

..and we had each other.

..and with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.

..and with my body I thee worship...

..and you could take me back with you to Coburg.

..but all I took in her room was this.

..chocolat. Hot chocolate? Really?

..drei.

..I believe it is possible that this Young England Society has been...

..I could see that her cheeks were wet.

..I know I am a better monarch than you could ever be.

..I will abdicate.

..I would not have known it was you.

..I would still care for you both.

..please.

..plotting to kill you.

..sometimes you're too direct when you speak.

..that when I gave my heart...

"a harmless flirtation", is that not what you called it?

"at the hands of that German tyrant".

"Cowards die many times before their deaths."

"Do nothing until you receive instructions from Hanover."

"How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child."

"I strongly suggest, Ma'am,
