1–No, wait, let me guess. I Puritani? – As a matter of fact, yes.
2
I used to like it too. Now I prefer Norma.
3
Dashy! Go fetch it! Fetch it, Dash!
4
Aye, aye, aye, aye.
5
– Have I offended you in some way? – No.
6
And Schubert.
7
I like Schubert.
8
I think… I think perhaps you don’t,… but I do.
9
I don’t mind Schubert.
10
Good.
11
Do you ever feel like a chess piece yourself?
12
In a game being played against your will?
13
– Do you? – Constantly.
14
I see them leaning in and moving me around the board.
15
The Duchess and Sir John?
16
Not just them. Uncle Leopold.
17
The King. I’m sure half the politicians are ready to seize hold of my skirts
18
and drag me from square to square.
19
Then master the rules of the game until you play it better than they can.
20
You don’t recommend I find a husband to play it for me?
21
I should find one to play it with you, not for you.
22
Why don’t we ring for some music? And then we could dance.
23
I’ve recently discovered the waltz and I am quite in love with it.
24
– Waltzing is not really my forte. – Oh, dear.
25
What a shame.
26
You know the King wants me to marry my cousin George?
27
Hmm.
28
What’s he like at chess?
29
Victoria.
30
It’s alright, Lehzen, Albert can take me up.
31
You’ll have to hold my hand. Mama insists. I hope you don’t mind.
32
Not in the least.
33
What did you want to say?
34
Only that I understand more than you think of what your life is.
35
Do you?
36
My childhood wasn’t easy either. I lost my mother when I was a boy.
37
– I know. She died. – No, er…
38
That is, she did die eventually, but…
39
she was sent away long before that.
40
There was some difficulty.
41
It was all hushed up and… no one talks of it now.
42
But I know what it is to live alone inside your head,
43
while never giving a clue as to your real feelings.
44
Did Uncle Leopold ask you to tell me that?
45
No. Er, he actually told me never to mention it.
46
Well, how little he knows me.
47
Hmm.
48
May I write to you?
49
You’ll miss the princes when they’re gone, ma’am.
50
Don’t be impertinent.
51
– Those boys pester you. – Oh, please, Lehzen.
52
You don’t think I’ve come this far to walk into another jail, do you?
53
– You must marry one day. – Well, I don’t see why.
54
And if I do, I shall please myself,
55
not Mama or Uncle Leopold or the King or 1
– No, wait, let me guess. I Puritani? – As a matter of fact, yes.
2
I used to like it too. Now I prefer Norma.

And if I do, I shall please myself,
55
not Mama or Uncle Leopold or the King or anyone else. Trust me.
56
– Must I? – Yes, you must.
57
Be on your guard.
58
We are going to Windsor for my uncle’s birthday party.
59
– In the castle of the enemy. – Your enemy, Sir John, not mine.
60
– Agree to nothing. – What should I say about the rooms?
61
You needed the space. Appeal to the Queen. It’s ridiculous.
62
I wish you were coming with us.
63
You’re very intent, Baroness. Are you making a study of me?
64
Someone should.
65
– Present Prime Minister? – Melbourne.
66
Lord Melbourne.
67
The Liberal leader who’ll probably be in power when the Princess succeeds.
68
– He may be troublesome. – Why?
69
He puts the interests of England above those of Europe.
70
– Which is bad? – Which is not useful to us.
71
He wouldn’t spill one drop of English blood to save a foreign throne.
72
The Viscount Melbourne.
73
Why would he save a foreign throne if it wasn’t in England’s interest?
74
That is just the kind of thinking your Uncle Leopold is afraid of.
75
Which is why he’s content to find his niece is the future Queen of England.
76
The Duke of Wellington.
77
In the public mind, the leader of the Conservative opposition is a pet hero,
78
Napoleon’s conqueror, the grand old Duke of Wellington.
79
– But not in fact. – No.
80
– You look in very good health, sir. – Thank you, sir.
81
– I wish I was. Enjoy the meal. – Thank you.
82
The next T ory Prime Minister will be Sir Robert Peel.
83
.. and Lady Peel.
84
Which side does Victoria favour?
85
She’s a Liberal. Above all, she favours Lord Melbourne.
86
And he’ll take full advantage of it.
87
Her Royal Highness, Princess Victoria of Kent.
88
Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Kent.
89
The Lady Flora Hastings.
90
– Hello, Uncle. – Look at that demure little head.
91
And all of us wondering what’s inside it.
92
We’ll find out soon enough.
93
Lord Melbourne will make her fall in love with him. It’s his method.
94
– Don’t underestimate Victoria. – Don’t underestimate Melbourne.
95
My dearest niece.
96
– Won’t you greet your cousin George? – Good evening, George.
97
How can my niece and nephew have grown up so when I wasn’t looking?
98
Whereas you are quite unchanged and as handsome as ever.
99
If I put my head very close to yours and speak softly,
100
– they’ll think we’re hatching a plot. – Yes.
101
If I look a little surprised,…
102
well, then they’ll know it.
103
I wish we saw more of you. But then, nor you nor I are to blame for that.
104
The plain fact is, madam, you have stolen 17 rooms!
105
One cannot steal a room, sir. The rooms are where you left them.
106
Now they are used, before they were empty.
107
I see. So I have no say in my own palaces?
108
Why not move in here and bring your Irish tinker with you?
109
The Queen and I will be happy enough in the lodge!
110
So would I be, sir, if I thought that people there would be polite to me!
111
– How dare you talk…! – Enough!
112
You have exhausted the topic.
113
Conroy tried to force the Princess Victoria’s agreement to a Regency.
114
She wouldn’t sign it, sick as she was. That says something for her spirit.
115
Your next birthday will be quite a landmark.
116
– I hope we’ll see more of you at Court. – I hope so too, Lord Melbourne.
117
You know, should you ever need an ally,…
118
you have one in me.
119
The Prime Minister has more important calls upon his time.
120
Not at all. I knew the late Duke of Kent.
121
Naturally, I take an interest in his daughter.
122
– You knew my father? – Yes.
123
I’m sorry. Is it difficult to speak of him?
124
No. I love to hear from someone who knew him. For I never did, you see.
125
Well,… he was a great gentleman. Of that you can be sure.
126
Indeed I am.
127
Excellent company like his brother, the Regent, but not quite so extravagant.
128
And kind, like his brother, the King,… but perhaps not so talkative.
129
Well, you make him sound as though he were the best of them.
130
Oh, I think so, ma’am.
131
Your leader is hard at work, Duchess.
132
You see him hover with his net to catch the pretty butterfly.
133
And when your party is back in power, Duke, will you not do the same?
134
Not nearly as well as Melbourne.
135
Unfortunately, I have no small talk. Peel has no manners.
136
And I would have a hard time praising her father.
137
The most brutal officer I ever encountered.
