The first series depicts the first few years of the reign of Queen Victoria, portrayed by Jenna Coleman, from her accession to the throne at the age of eighteen, to her intense friendship and infatuation with Lord Melbourne (Rufus Sewell), to her courtship and early marriage to Prince Albert (Tom Hughes) and finally to the birth of their first child, Victoria. The second series follows Victoria's struggles on managing her role as Queen with that of her duties to her husband and children.
