An Ordinary Woman

               They say that Queen Victoria... had a way of always getting what she wanted...

I can see in a lot of ways how that would have been possible.

For the longest time, she just wanted to see Prince Albert smile... Not only was she able to do that, but she was even able to arrange for him to have a title in her royal court after they were married.

I think that some things... just take time....

Yeah, so I have been watching Victoria on Masterpiece. It always comes on right before my favorite British Comedies. So I couldn't help but get into it.

Their story is such a fairy tale, though.

And I did my research...

While the show does give the viewer a birds eye view into the life of The Queen, it does seem to folly on a few small things.

Queen Victoria, as it turned out, was an extremely private woman. When she and Albert were together for the first time, they were said to have been entirely alone. And she even commemorated the event with a plaque upon the bed. But she did it soo discreetly, that all it said was Victoria and Albert and the date. So that only she and he would come to know of it.

Also...

In the show, they say that she was adamant about getting out and about, when she became pregnant for the first time.

However, I discovered, that as private and proper a woman as she was, she believed it to be wrong for a pregnant woman to go around showing that she was pregnant. She believed that that was not a very dignified thing. And that it should be kept a private affair.

Interesting. But other than those small errors, the rest of the story rings true. And I would have to admit that the casting for her character seems spot on! So I would highly recommend this show. To anyone wanting to get to know the famous Queen.
