How Queen Victoria and Prince Albert Lived In The Victorian Era

How did Queen Victoria and Prince Albert really live in the 19th century? Behind the grandeur of empire was a devoted royal marriage, nine children and a deliberately domestic family life that captivated Victorian Britain. In this documentary we explore their love match of 1840, their private homes at Osborne House and Balmoral, life in the Scottish Highlands, and Albert's role as a great moderniser behind the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the museums of South Kensington. We also look at how the couple embraced the railway age, popularised the Christmas tree and the white wedding dress, and shaped the image of the modern monarchy, right up to Albert's early death and Victoria's long years as the Widow of Windsor. If you love royal history, Victorian history and the story of Britain's most influential royal couple, watch to the end.
