From the Official Site: "1837. VICTORIA (17) (Emily Blunt) is the object of a royal power struggle. Her uncle, KING WILLIAM (Jim Broadbent), is dying and Victoria is in line for the throne. Everyone is vying to win her favor. However Victoria is kept from the court by her overbearing mother, THE DUCHESS OF KENT (Miranda Richardson), and her ambitious advisor, CONROY (Mark Strong). Victoria hates them both.
... Victoria's handsome cousin, ALBERT (Rupert Friend) is invited to visit by her mother. He's also the nephew of her Uncle, KING LEOPOLD OF BELGIUM ... Albert is also tired of being manipulated by his relatives. Victoria and Albert talk openly and become friends."
This is a beautiful love story not to be missed. Emily Blunt gives a strong performance as the 17 year old Victoria who is caught in the web of influencers and manipulators who would try to rule every bit of her life. Yet they cannot rule her heart.
Best quote: "Families, who'd be without them." Drama! It's so true.
