Episode 1: The Best Laid Plans...

BBC Two - Queen Victoria's Children, The Best Laid Plans...

An exploration of Queen Victoria's tempestuous relationship with Prince Albert.

Series exploring the reign of Victoria through her personal relationships. This episode focuses on her tempestuous marriage to Prince Albert.

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert shared a passionate marriage. Behind closed doors, royal domestic life often seemed like a battlefield. 

In a 60-year family saga this new three-part series explores the reign of Victoria through her personal relationships with her husband and her nine children. It is a story of manipulation, conflict, intimidation, emotional blackmail, and fevered attempts by her children to escape the clutches of their domineering and needy mother.

The series uses a wealth of written material and photos left by Victoria, Albert and their children, including letters, diaries, memoirs and journals, to bring the subject and characters to life. 

This first episode focuses on Victoria's tempestuous relationship with Prince Albert, their attempts to engineer the upbringing of their children and to save the monarchy by projecting a modern image of the royal family.
