"Hallelujah!"
Victoria
"God save the Duchess!"
Victoria
"It's hard to know if he is her minister or her nursemaid."
Victoria
"Are you suggesting that the Queen is not of sound mind, sir?"
Victoria
"Let us say, Peel, that her wits are fragile."
Victoria
"That is the third time you've looked at your pocket watch since we arrived."
Victoria
"Surely slavery was abolished a long time ago?"
Victoria
"that reflects her position."
Victoria
"I hear the vote is very close."
Victoria
"Ma'am, sorry to desert you but I'm afraid I've been called back to the House."
Victoria
"- Now? - Please forgive me."
Victoria
"The Honourable Lord Hastings."
Victoria
"It is too small for the crown, I think."
Victoria
"But how can I reach the very pinnacle of my craft"
Victoria
"Oh! And let there be light!"
Victoria
"My heart was beating so fast I thought the Archbishop would see it through my shift."
Victoria
"Your Uncle Cumberland would like nothing better than to bring down poor William."
Victoria
"My Lords, I call for a vote on the Jamaica Bill."
Victoria
"That's the trouble with gas, it shines light on things you would rather not see."
Victoria
"He should be here by now."
Victoria
"And that means I can no longer lead the Whigs in government."
Victoria
"My poor Victoria."
Victoria
"I know how you're feeling."
Victoria
"No. Not the only one."
Victoria
"Oh, Mama."
Victoria
"If you don't get up now, there won't be time to get ready."
Victoria
"Never! It is just some nerves."
Victoria
"that you ask the Duke of Wellington to form a government."
Victoria
"I understand that I am obliged to ask you to form a government."
Victoria
"You do me a great honour, Ma'am."
Victoria
"The pillow was wet through this morning."
Victoria
"Whatever she thinks of Lord Melbourne does not concern you."
Victoria
"I'll shall fetch some butter from the kitchen."
Victoria
"- Close your eyes. - Not likely."
Victoria
"- You might do something complicated. - Oh, please."
Victoria
"There's something about your very charming face that's familiar."
Victoria
"I don't think so."
Victoria
"One moment... Ma'am."
Victoria
"I imagine the change of government is unsettling."
Victoria
"In contrast to your estimable Uncle Cumberland,"
Victoria
"I should like to assure you of my... loyalty."
Victoria
"I shall not need your assistance."
Victoria
"Big job, mind, a place like this. I'll have to charge royal prices."
Victoria
"I am sure we can come to an arrangement as to fees"
Victoria
"Well, you are a master of the situation, Mr Penge."
Victoria
"I imagine, Ma'am, that he is waiting for you to talk to Sir Robert Peel."
Victoria
"Why would I do that?"
Victoria
"Lehzen, can you call my carriage?"
Victoria
"It would be less... public."
Victoria
"Yes. Thank you, Emma, I will take your carriage. Lehzen, you can be my chaperone."
Victoria
"Your Majesty."
Victoria
"As you would not visit me, I decided to visit you!"
Victoria
"but I do believe in the British constitution in all its tattered glory,"
Victoria
"just ask him for a little time to consider."
Victoria
"When in doubt, always delay."
Victoria
"And even then, I cannot be at the Palace as much as I have been."
Victoria
"And he may ask you to make a few changes in the Royal household."
Victoria
"Oh, they have never been strong. Those awful bonnets."
Victoria
"Seems to have lost all sense of propriety."
Victoria
".. changes will be inevitable."
Victoria
"I thank you for your advice, but I'm sure that we will do very well."
Victoria
"In that case, I wish you a very good day."
Victoria
"I have no chin in this one and two chins in the next."
Victoria
"Sir Robert Peel."
Victoria
"Sir Robert, take a look at these designs for the new coin."
Victoria
"Er... yes, Ma'am."
Victoria
"I do know how the constitution works."
Victoria
"If you were to replace one or two of them"
Victoria
"You want me to give up my ladies?"
Victoria
"Nonsense, man."
Victoria
"I cannot form a ministry on the basis of Lady Anglesey's charms."
Victoria
"No stomach for the fight, eh?"
Victoria
"Her behaviour is barely rational. To make such a to-do over her ladies."
Victoria
"If this persists, changes will be inevitable!"
Victoria
"No-one is going to resign, Emma. You are my ladies and my friends."
Victoria
"and then he cannot form a government."
Victoria
"It seems to me, my niece has taken leave of her wits."
Victoria
"Papa used to talk to himself..."
Victoria
"No, indeed."
Victoria
"we can come to some sort of... arrangement together."
Victoria
"A regency on the grounds of insanity?"
Victoria
"You put it bluntly but..."
Victoria
"So what will you do now, William?"
Victoria
"What have you done to your hand, Mrs Jenkins?"
Victoria
"Oh, I was trying to light the new gas mantle, Ma'am."
Victoria
"- Is it very painful? - It could have been worse, Ma'am."
Victoria
"What was that?"
Victoria
"Probably just the wind, Ma'am."
Victoria
"Installing the gas downstairs has disturbed the rats. They're looking for new territory."
Victoria
"but I fear he has never understood the fairer sex."
Victoria
"I have missed you."
Victoria
"And whilst I salute your tenacity, Ma'am, I must tell you"
Victoria
"Because that's all you know."
Victoria
"No, indeed, but you must understand that it doesn't matter who you like or do not like!"
Victoria
"The relationship between Crown and Parliament is a sacred one"
Victoria
"so this kind of behaviour is quite unexceptional to him,"
Victoria
"A spell of calm and seclusion is what she needs,"
Victoria
"This is the best way to help her."
Victoria
"My dear Duchess..."
Victoria
"as Regent."
Victoria
"to anyone."
Victoria
"I couldn't sleep."
Victoria
"You need to be rested for your birthday celebration."
Victoria
"They remember your grandfather."
Victoria
"My grandfather?"
Victoria
"What are you saying, Mama?"
Victoria
"But maybe you're needing some rest and quiet."
Victoria
"I will not let them take it away from you."
Victoria
"There was a time, Mama, when I needed your protection."
Victoria
"You have banished me from your affections."
Victoria
"I can't seem to fix on anything today."
Victoria
"Her Majesty heard a rustling last night in the sitting room."
Victoria
"I told her it was nothing. I hope I was correct."
Victoria
"but when you upset the natural order of things with your gas lighting,"
Victoria
"- Who made this? - Mr Francatelli, Your Majesty."
Victoria
"The Palace Chef."
Victoria
"May I add my best wishes on your birthday, Ma'am."
Victoria
"He thinks I would benefit from studying the heavens."
Victoria
"Thank you, Mama."
Victoria
"Ma'am! Ma'am! Calm yourself!"
