The moment when Albert dies is heartbreaking. It really speaks to Annette's ability as an actress that she's able to really rip you apart. When she first screams out you cringe because you think it's going to be some ghastly melodramatic 70's piece of overacting but she finds the genuine emotion and horror in the loss of the one person who meant the most to her and it's devastating to watch. Bravo to her for this performance in particular. She's fantastic.
@@LunaBasset1 Really? Thank you SO much for telling me! And most likely, those were really his last 3 words as it was witnessed by so many of the family.
47:07 Modern movie makers can learn a lot from this old BBC gem: The death scene is historically accurate (including Albert's music choice), the actors are brilliant (especially Annette Crosbie), and everything has been produced on a minimal budget.
Until her great-grandson, Prince Albert (King George VI), was born on the same day her husband died 34 years prior to his birth, the day turned from sadness to happiness.
Clement Lee : Apart from her husband Prince Albert's death on Dec. 14, 1861 one of Queen Victoria's daughters Princess Alice also died on Dec. 14th 17yrs later in 1878.
I should point out that the scene where Albert dies is based on Victoria's own diaries. I have read the extract which was written years after his death (because she couldn't bring herself to write about it for so long). According to the diary, this is exactly what happened. She told him she was his "kleine weibchen" (the little wife) and when he died she screamed "my dear darling!". She really loved him and his death affected her deeply. Queen Victoria went into a state of untold grief because her Mother and her husband had died in the same year. To put it in another context, she had never had to be alone until then. Now she had to learn to be independent and she just couldn't cope. She didn't want to be alone. She wanted Albert. She WANTED to be the little wife. Albert let her be that (despite her position). She was the Queen but HE was her guiding hand and when he died, a bit of her died too. That's why she needed people like John Brown and Abdul Kharim later on. They didn't treat her like an alien. John Brown told her EXACTLY what he thought and treated her like a human and Abdul Kharim was her "munschi" (her teacher). Despite the image of an indomitable Empress, she was just a vulnerable woman really who was trying to make sense of the life she was born to live.
@@waivedwench and yes the duchess of Kent was also trying to protect her daughter from the kind of rumors that swirled around Elizabeth I as a teenager.
The broad-shouldered Elisabeth of Weid went on to wed the future King Carol I of Romania. She also had a second career as a novelist and poetess who wrote under the name Carmen Sylva.
And in the next generation, Marie of Edinburgh wed Ferdinand of Romania after refusing to marry George V ... there might have been some kind of tradition.
@@floris.927 From what I understand of the families, Marie's mother (born a Russian Grand Duchess) did not approve of a marriage with the Wales' children.
Another historic mistake is Victoria’s wardrobe before Albert’s death. Until Albert died she always wore fashionable dresses in bright and pastel colors and white. And lots of jewelry. She didn’t start wearing black mourning clothes every day until Albert’s death.
Robert Hardy. I used to think he was all loud and brash as an actor. However having sat through All creatures great and small yesterday, whole series, and watched this and remembering his accurate portrayals of Churchill… what an incredible actor.
Elsa 1942 : One interesting coincidence about the two sisters is that they were both born 3 yrs apart 1844, 1847 and both passed away again 3 yrs apart 1925, 1928. Amazing!!!!!
Not much was expected of him,but he turned out to be a warm, friendly,competent,and much loved (and missed) KIng,Such a shame that he had such a short reign.
What was your problem with Bertie? The adultery aside, I think he was a fine man. He brought England out of the perpetual mourning it was in under old Vickie (who I think had a bit of a screw loose like her great grandfather) and ushered in normalcy with the Edwardian Era. Plus he was excellent at diplomacy, which was something Victoria lacked.
It is so sad that Queen Victoria had such animosity toward her son over the death of Prince Albert. Most medical historians think that the Prince was already gravely ill before this. Even if he had developed his illness from the visit to Bertie what a horrible thing to tell him that it is all his fault that his father died.
Victoria didn't actually tell Bertie that, but the fact that she even thought it, and made the statement is selfishly reckless and insensitive on her part.
I agree that this is an amazing show and thank you for posting it. If Queen Victoria and Prince Albert actually treated Bertie the way it is portrayed here, I can't help but thoroughly dislike them or just feel sorry for them both for having mental defects. Yet the actors are so incredible, I feel I am really watching the real people and get an attachment to them. Also the costumes and sets are wonderful. It is such a good production and does make one feel one is actually there. I too have been watching it over and over.
That's the way Crown Princes were treated in those days. And if you observe this and previous episodes care fully, you notice that there is an evolution in their attitude, somewhat positive.
@@mousehitscat I disagree. I think the entire line from Queen Victoria's mother on were abusive parents. Her mother, Victoria herself, Bertie and George. It was the future George VI who broke the cycle with the current Queen and her sister because he did not want to treat his children the way he was treated.
I wonder what the world stage would have looked like if Princess Charlotte of Wales had lived and her ancestors were now the ruling houses. Instead of Queen Victoria spreading her genetic mutations (like haemophilia) across the ruling houses of Europe.
@@retroguy9494Well..I don't think the Cycle has been broken. Especially with Charles and his son legit fleeing the Monarchy. Prince Harry is breaking the cycle.
Three things I remember from this episode of the TV series I saw in 1976: 1/ the way the future Edward VII was more loyal to his boon companions than Henry V was to Sir John Falstaff in Shakespeare's plays 2/ To what an extent an attractive princess could be an asset for a small country like Denmark 3/ Prince Albert's commission to peace and his determination to avoid unnecessary wars, in this case against President Lincoln's USA.
As an American I will say, thank goodness Prince Albert was there and could compose such a letter. Victoria did not have the diplomacy (or sadly the interest). Given the government hotheads and their response, it may well have triggered another war with England which was the LAST thing we needed especially since old Vickie tended to favor the south who was in rebellion against the Union.
There is a sad fact that Alice, the daughter that is attending Albert would die 17 years later on the exact same day as her father after exhausting herself taking care of her family and contracting Diptheria.
Social distancing failure. She wore ppe through nursing her whole family. But when her daughter died, her son was so heartbroken that Alice embraced him on his sickbed and kissed him. She caught diptheria from that act. Princess Alice's oldest daughter is the grandmother of Prince Phillip husband of Elizabeth 2.
@@maureenogorman8740 Another interesting fact about Princess Alice's daughters is that one of them named Alexandra "ALEXY" later married the Russian Tsar/Emperor Nicholas II .
I am glad to see young Albert getting his parents somewhat off his back. The earlier episodes were hard to watch at times as his father tried to make him into an all knowing human encyclopedia which of course he had no aptitude for. That he opposed him having friends was terrible.
El Noventero Equidistante : Yes, Minnie was adorable. She also had an amazing future. Future wife Empress Maria Feodorovna to husband Tsar/Emperor Alexander III of Russia and future mother to son Tsar/Emperor Nicholas II of Russia.
I love this show. I assume it was made in England? I know it's not all facts but in America history class when teaching about the civil war they don't talk about what other countries had to say about it. Thank you so much for posting this show it is wonderful.
It's very well known that Camilla apparently introduced herself to Charles by saying something like "My great-grandmother had an affair with your great-great-grandfather. How about it?".
"Mama" played Future emperor Franz Joseph' the Emperor of Austrio-Hungarian Empire, she was the mother in Fall Of Eagles. A very good historical docudrama.
If they made Victoria season 4 we will see Bertie now grown up becoming a handsome man with blonde hair like an angel(will be played by Jack Farthing from Poldark) will be fall in love with Alix and you will made an video about them with the song rewrite the stars by Zac Efron and Zendaya 😍
Royal princesses would never never ever curtsy to anyone but a King or Queen Emperor Empresses . And certainly not to a Mr. or Mrs. even if they were ambassadors.
Deborah Grant who plays Alix here was also Sarah Francis in A Bouquet of Barbed Wire, a very different role. I liked her as an actress but she seemed to vanish after these two roles.
The church meeting was so beautifully filmed, like a ballet on stage in a theater. But what did Prince Albert say at 18:57? Something about "speaking."
I hate to say it, but when it comes to women Bertie can be a real "charmer." Finding reasons why he wouldn't like Alix just because he's having an affair with another woman. Geez, give Alix a chance!
Other viewers have commented that the first 3 eps can be heard with headphones, and one said a blu-ray/tooth speaker worked. I'm using el cheapo headphones and haven't had a problem.
I've always thought it's so crazy that we speak English in America and you speak English and Britain but I can't understand over half of what's being said LOL
Annette Crosby plays this part really well but unfortunately she plays a fictional Victoria. The real Victoria was actually very kind and had a wonderful sense of humour. She was not the miserable old bag portrayed in this series.
Can’t help be reminded of the comedian actor, Max Wall when I see Ann Crosby with that ridiculous Max Wall hairstyle. The real young queen Victoria was very pretty and never had her like that. Credit to Ann Crosby I suppose she had to obey the producers.
Lincoln should never have allowed the apprehension of the Southern reps. He should have let the heavy bureaucracy of the British system and political dialogue take its pace knowing the English wouldn't support the South based on ethically wrong slavery that England had abolished many decades prior.
Anette may be a good actress, and when Bertie dies IS very sad-but Annette's forehead is as big as the moon. It might even have a weather system of it's own. Dee williams, thanks for posting this
@@ThePlataf Personally, I think Bertie was extremely lucky (and a fool too). If I had a beautiful wife like Alix who was also loving and devoted as she was, I would be SO appreciative and not go philandering around with Mrs. Keppel. But Mrs. Keppel was also a very beautiful woman. It makes me wonder what she saw in Bertie? Let's face it. He was quite an ugly man!
Albert, the antithesis of the Prussian warmonger, yet many would say meddling in politics when there was a truce of sorts, only to disintegrate insidiously until the cataclysm of 1914 was reached.
It may be like that high school kids today look older than they did 50 years ago - back then the young seemed to mature slower and the adults seemed to age faster and they didn't generally live as long
@@nedmarc A lot depended on the fashions of the times, which were very ageing. Young women often didn't reach menarche til they were 16, but once married, with contraception being unreliable, frequent pregnancies were usually their lot, and childbearing was both unpleasant and dangerous.
In addition to the other replies, life was much harder back then and aged a person quicker. Poorer diets, sanitation, medical care, lack of central heating, lingering illness due to lack of penicillin and other medicines, etc. It all contributed to aging quickly. If you look at actual photographs of the REAL Prince Albert, he DOES in fact look a lot older than 40. Robert Hardy looks just like him in this series.
The actor who portrays Prince Albert also portrayed Robert Dudley in "Elizabeth R" with Glenda Jackson. An actor, no matter how talented, who is well cast as the prince is NOT well cast as Robert Dudley.
Alice plays at the the piano a famous Lutheran hymn, " A Mighty Fortress is Our God." The hymn continues on the soundtrack thereafter, played by strings.

I saw the series in the mid 70's and loved it then. It has held up beautifully and I'm happy to view it again.
The moment when Albert dies is heartbreaking. It really speaks to Annette's ability as an actress that she's able to really rip you apart. When she first screams out you cringe because you think it's going to be some ghastly melodramatic 70's piece of overacting but she finds the genuine emotion and horror in the loss of the one person who meant the most to her and it's devastating to watch. Bravo to her for this performance in particular. She's fantastic.

And from what Ive read - Victorias reaction was very much like that ....all the tougher for the children present .
I don't speak German. Do any of you know what those last 3 words that Albert spoke were?

50:10 is so heartbreaking, Victoria’s scream just stopped my heart💔💔
Great acting. And to think this scene happened in real life in Dec 1861, plunging Queen Victoria into deep mourning for the rest of her life.
Until her great-grandson, Prince Albert (King George VI), was born on the same day her husband died 34 years prior to his birth, the day turned from sadness to happiness.

Do you know what the final three words were that Albert spoke to her here? I can speak 4 languages, but German is not one of them.
@@retroguy9494 "good little woman" or "good little wife"
@@margaretmaclachlan5237 Thank you! 😁👍
Victoria and Albert were the original helicopter parents,
That would have been Victoria's mother. At least Victoria and Albert let their kids walk down the stairs by themselves.
That was about breaking her so they could control her when she became queen. It backfired, right up in their faces.

It may be like that high school kids today look older than they did 50 years ago - back then the young seemed to mature slower and the adults seemed to age faster and they didn't generally live as long
@@nedmarc A lot depended on the fashions of the times, which were very ageing. Young women often didn't reach menarche til they were 16, but once married, with contraception being unreliable, frequent pregnancies were usually their lot, and childbearing was both unpleasant and dangerous.
In addition to the other replies, life was much harder back then and aged a person quicker. Poorer diets, sanitation, medical care, lack of central heating, lingering illness due to lack of penicillin and other medicines, etc. It all contributed to aging quickly. If you look at actual photographs of the REAL Prince Albert, he DOES in fact look a lot older than 40. Robert Hardy looks just like him in this series.
The actor who portrays Prince Albert also portrayed Robert Dudley in "Elizabeth R" with Glenda Jackson. An actor, no matter how talented, who is well cast as the prince is NOT well cast as Robert Dudley.
He also played Siegfried Farnon in the All Creatures Great and Small series.
It's true...he was an amazing actor
I shudder to think what they would think of the royal family today.
Me too. A very sad state of affairs. The Sussex wedding should never have been allowed. It might bring the UK to a republic....
@@Valentina-SteinwayNo it won't. Harry is far down in the line of succession for that to happen.
@@SuperTweezy5 They STILL managed to make them look bad, and continue to this day…
Does anybody know the name of the piece of music playing in the scene where
Alix and Bertie meet in Speyer Cathedral ?
It is Händel Organ Concerto Op 4 No 3 G This part is towards the end of the piece.
Isabel Monteith oh yeah I’ll
What is the music that Princess Alice plays for Prince Albert?
An ancient hymn written by Martin Luther (A Mighty Fortress Is Our God)
Alice plays at the the piano a famous Lutheran hymn, " A Mighty Fortress is Our God." The hymn continues on the soundtrack thereafter, played by strings.
