‘Young Victoria’ (2009)

Emily Blunt takes the title role in Jean-Marc Vallee’s dramatisation of the early years of Queen Victoria’s rule, which began when she was just 18 years old, and her enduring romance and marriage to Prince Albert (Rupert Friend).  Jim Broadbent and Miranda Richardson co-star as King William (Victoria’s uncle) and the Duchess of Kent respectively.  The  story depicts the suffocating lifestyle that a young Victoria was subjected to, as well as the intricacies of court politics and meddling from many sources, including Victoria’s own mother; Lord Melbourne the Prime Minister; and even foreign royalty.  With beautiful locations and costumes and superb performances by the whole cast, we see how an 18 year old queen overcame a risky start to set up a hugely successful reign.
