From NetFlix:

Eighteen-year-old British royal Victoria (Emily Blunt) ascends to the throne and is romanced by future husband Prince Albert (Rupert Friend) in this lush period film that chronicles the early years of the British monarch’s larger-than-life reign. Produced by Martin Scorsese and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, the Oscar-nominated film also stars Miranda Richardson as the Duchess of Kent, Jim Broadbent as King William, and Paul Bettany as Lord Melbourne.

While visiting our daughter Kate in London we just happened to see this film on television. Lucky for us the timing could not have been better. That Victoria and Albert were truly devoted to one another is made quite clear by the film. In addition Albert was an honest, sincere consort that really tried to help the British commoners and to protect Victoria from various predators trying to control such a young queen. Her devotion to him after his early death from typhoid at age 42 is splendidly manifest if you visit the lighted Albert memorial at night. Also wonderful is the Victoria and Albert museum (called the “V & A”).

Such a well-done historical drama comes well recommended.
