A lush period romance centered on a young queen's journey from political pawn to self-determined woman, anchored by her transformative love for Prince Albert.

As the only legitimate heir of England's King William, teenage Victoria gets caught up in the political machinations of her own family. Victoria's mother wants her to sign a regency order, while her Belgian uncle schemes to arrange a marriage between the future monarch and Prince Albert, the man who will become the love of her life.
