An epic love story as proud and powerful as the British Empire.
The worId remembers Queen Victoria as a staid and stately dowager in black, but Victoria and AIbert shows the other side of the monarch who gave her name to an era - the emotional young queen whose reign was shaped by her passionate love for her German-born husband, Prince AIbert.
Disc One:
Kept isoIated form the court by her domineering mother, Victoria seems unprepared for the throne when King WiIliam lV dies. But the teenage queen shows surprising strength and resolve, and puts her fuII faith in the poIiticaI counseI of Lord MeIbourne, the Prime Minister. With the help of BeIgium's King LeopoId, a meeting is arranged between Victoria and her cousin, Prince AIbert of Germany. Though initialIy reluctant, she faIls utterly in love when she sees him, and they are married after a brief courtship.
Disc Two:
The changing poIiticaI fortunes of Lord MeIbourne finally afford AIbert the opportunity to become invoIved in the affairs of state - a role Victoria had previously resisted. Soon, his wise counsel Ieads the Queen to call him "king in everything but name." But their joint rule would not Iast Iong, as AIbert's tireIess work on the Great Exhibition of 1851 comes at the cost of his health. He never fuIIy recovers, eventuaIly succumbing to typhoid fever in 1862, leaving Victoria to rule aIone for nearIy 40 years. |
