Trivia
Victoria's uncle Ernst Augustus, the Duke of Cumberland, was the fifth son of King George III. He served in the British Army during the wars with France. Cumberland received his disfiguring scar in 1793 after being struck by a sabre during a battle with French cavalry. He eventually lost sight in that eye as well.

Goofs
Princess Feodora did not live in the palace and hence would not have been in a position to sell invitations to a ball. There is no evidence that King George IV wanted to marry her, and she was eager to leave Kensington Palace permanently after marrying the Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg.
There is no evidence that she was a scheming, jealous sister who fled Langenburg and refused to return to her home.

Alternate Versions
Series 1: PBS Masterpiece broadcasts add on average 5 minutes of additional footage per episode not shown in the ITV broadcasts. The exception to this are the first two episodes of Series 1 which for PBS airing were edited together to form a single feature-length episode for a two-hour timeslot; the edited version removes several minutes of footage from these episodes (including the original closing moments of episode 1). The North American DVD/Blu-ray release of Series 1 is the ITV version and thus does not include the extra footage seen on PBS. Also, the ITV broadcasts/DVD release indicate episode numbers in the opening credits alongside episode titles; this is not shown on PBS.

I was so looking forward to watching Victoria and I have not been disappointed. Having a keen interest in English history, especially of the Royal Family, I am obsessed with this series. I has been anxiously awaiting each new episode. Costuming is perfection, and the actors are are superb. I could not think of anyone better to play Queen Victoria. If you love period drama and English history, you will be enthralled by Victoria. I wish there was more shows like this on television. A definite must for fans of this genre. The betrayal of Lord M and Victoria's relationship may be elaborated a bit, but the basis of this show is worth the watch.
