BBC Two - Timewatch, 2008-2009, Young Victoria

How a modest little girl grew up to be one of the world's most powerful women.

The story of how an unassuming little girl grew to be Queen Victoria, one of the most powerful women in the world, amid battles with her scheming mother, the Duchess of Kent.

Kate Williams tells the story of how an unassuming little girl rose to be the most powerful woman in the world. At her birth few believed Princess Victoria would ascend the throne, but a number of untimely deaths and the failure of her uncles to father any children meant that Victoria became heiress to the British throne. The battle between her and her mother the Duchess of Kent, however, was to become a fierce maternal struggle, as the duchess schemed to share in the power and riches that would one day be Victoria's.
