2/2. Prunella Scales continues her quest to deepen our understanding of the queen, as she explores the person she has played for over 20 years in a one-woman show.
From Balmoral to the Isle of Wight, in palaces and private homes, she meets historical experts and descendents of those who knew the queen. Intertwined are her portrayals of Victoria, and reconstructions of diarists Charles Greville (Charles Dance) and Thomas Creevey (Timothy West).
What emerges is not the stony-faced monarch of legend but a more complex, passionate and surprising woman. Producer Louise Osmond ; Executive producer Jonathan Stamp
