    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Princess Beatrice: A great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria plays one of Victoria's ladies-in-waiting in the coronation scene (briefly seen passing on front of the bowing gentleman as the scene cuts to the coronation after Victoria says "I will be good" and then again a moment later helping to wrap the gold robe around Victoria). She was one of the producers of the film. Fourteen years later, she attended (but did not have a role in) the real-life coronation of her uncle, and 3x-great-grandson of Victoria, King Charles III.
    • Goofs
      Throughout the film, Lord Melbourne is pronounced 'Mel-burn', like the Australian city. The title of Viscount Melbourne is derived from Melbourne Hall in Derbyshire, and pronounced 'Mel-born'. The other way did not come to be spoken until much later.
    • Quotes

      Princess Victoria: Do you ever feel like a chess piece yourself? In a game being played against your will.

      Prince Albert: Do you?

      Princess Victoria: Constantly. I see them leaning in and moving me around the board.

      Prince Albert: The Duchess and Sir John?

      Princess Victoria: Not just them. Uncle Leopold. The king. I'm sure half the politicians are ready to seize hold of my skirts and drag me from square to square.

      Prince Albert: Then you had better master the rules of the game until you play it better than they can.

      Princess Victoria: You don't recommend I find a husband to play it for me?

      Prince Albert: I should find one to play it with you, not for you.

    Great acting
    I don't think the film really sets itself apart from other period-bio films from its ilk. It has the usual sort of sentimentality. But, that doesn't mean it's not a good film. Rupert Friend is his usual pretty self, very hot, but he does bring a lot to his role. He can usually be very stoic and emotionless while being just decorated as pretty, but can often not bring much to the table. Here, he absolutely does. He's able to paint the shades of his character well, even if another more talented actor could've brought even more to it. But really, the film belongs to Emily Blunt, a severely underrated actress who brings so much to her roles, and in a leading role, she can knock it out of the park like she does here. She's incredible, definitely snubbed of an Oscar nomination.
