Publisher's Synopsis
The world remembers Queen Victoria as a staid and stately dowager in black. But when the teenaged Drina ascended to the throne, she was a vibrant young woman of powerful emotions, which found their greatest outlet in her consuming love for her German-born husband, Prince Albert. VICTORIA AND ALBERT tells the true story of their remarkable union, a bond of passion, politics and power that helped restore dignity and respect to a monarchy long held in contempt. Victoria Hamilton (Mansfield Park, King Lear) and Jonathan Firth (Middlemarch, An Ideal Husband) play the royal couple to perfection, and the exceptional supporting cast includes Diana Rigg, Jonathan Pryce, Nigel Hawthorne and Sir Peter Ustinov. A&E and the BBC proudly present the compelling tale of the original Victorian romance--a love affair that changed the world. DVD bonus features include cast bios, production photos, scene selection and more.
