The dress Victoria wears for her first meeting with her council is a copy of the actual dress Queen Victoria wore on this occasion. It survives and as of 26 March 2012, is on display at Kensington Palace as part of the new Victoria Revealed exhibition. It is on public display in the Red Saloon (the actual room of her first Privy Council). It has since faded to brown as the black dye at the time was not stable.
The very tall green bed cost £25,000 to build. The Duke and Duchess of Rutland, owners of Belvoir Castle, purchased it after filming.
Just before the credits roll, the following text appears: "Victoria remains the longest reigning British Sovereign. To date." Queen Victoria was the longest reigning British sovereign as well as the longest reigning female sovereign until 2015. Queen Elizabeth II now claims both titles.
Many of the interior scenes were filmed at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire. The bed used in the honeymoon scene was slept in by the real Queen Victoria when she visited the castle in 1843. The bedroom is so small that all the cameras had to be placed outside the windows.
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.
