The Young Victoria - Long Live the Queen

[Bdcorpuschristi]

This scene was so powerful.

I Love The young Victoria!!!!!!!!

"Victoria, wait, I will hold your hand."

Bitch, still trying to keep her daughter dependent and still keep controlling her. Out of all the mothers to have, Victoria was cursed with this one.

I really do wish I was royilty.

[wadyano]

@lilspringlatina not nowadays. today they're just tabloid fodder, of no consequence and no private lives.

[blmillion]

Do Victoria's older half-sisters and brother appear in this film? Surely, they were around.

[mc0558]

All these historical dramas always seem moribund.

[inkstersco]

@mc0558

You mean morbid

[loyalqueen]

@inkstersco no he/she means moribund.

[Hisdreamer137]

@lemadhatress I agree! Except her hand isn't over her chest, I think, but that doesn't really seem to suit here anyway. All in all, it's delightful!

[HMservant]

mummy got told.

[lemadhatress]

I love how they recreated that painting of her being announced to be Queen. UGH MY FAVORITE!!! <3

[csclarinet]

@lemadhatress me too!!!

[ninjagirl19]

oh,...u learn something new everyday. okay, thank you!

[ninjagirl19]

why does she need her hand held and why is her bed in her mothers room?

[emln5]

She explains in a voiceover early in the movie. It's part of the "Kensington System" created by her mother's advisor, Sir John, to make her dependent on him and her mother so they can more easily control her.

@ninjagirl19

I read that her mother was very possessive

[bridbug]

@coralin378 She was doing so in order to keep Victoria weak and dependent. By doing this, even when Victoria became queen, she would still need her mother, and therefore it would be her mother and Conroy who actually ran the country. Luckily it backfired and had the opposite effect.

[wadyano]

@bridbug as a mother i find that abhorant. how can a mother covet her childs success

[bridbug]

@wadyano She wasn't doing it because she hated her daughter or anything. She was doing it because Conroy had some sort of weird psychological control over her and had convinced her this was the best idea (he left out the part where he didn't actually care about the mother and only wanted the power for himself).
