[soymuylocaperrra]

What's with the ladies' tags? In the ball?

[ripples28]

aaa hercule poirot!!!

[chloebella17]

I love that doll house. I could play with it for hours.

[dht23]

anyone else notice the soundtrack used for her entrance to her wedding was used in "The Young Victoria" as well?

[penelopylop]

absolutly amazing!! i love both alberts in both films !!

[corky7ca]

Was it the custom of a queen to be the one to ask the man to marry her?

[AikokoXD]

@corky7ca yes since she was the reigning monarch and according to protocol, the monarch always proposed.

[catherine0098]

@corky7ca yes, i was for very long time, although I think it ended after her

[MsOMyGosh]

@corky7ca It was improper that a man proposed to a woman who was higher in rank. So the woman had to do it :D !

[DigiScrap34]

Beautiful crown she is wearing @ the ball/dance. In time her husband to be will come to love her.

[cyberlucy]

@DigiScrap34 The actress is Rachael Pickup. She's the daughter of Ron Pickup

[TheGreg131313]

The blonde sitting in front of the doll house is beautiful!!!!!!!

[dht23]

Didn't they use the song played as she was walking doen the aisle in The Young Victoria also? It sounds really familiar.

[ellie9311]

it said that "three months later 1839" their got married but they didnt get married intill 10 February 1840 and their got married at Chapel Royal at St James Palace, not Windsor chapel

[blondebarbie1411]

you can tell when albert sees victoria walking down that the aisle that he loved her - it is all over his face. He cannot look at anyone else

[John081590]

What a pretty big dollhouse! I would ogle for hours on the intricate details of the furnishings.

[John081590]

They were literally lost in love at the end of the dance.

[jedimasterjoe]

the Duke of Sussex.....Victoria's uncle on her father's side.....walked her down the aisle at her wedding......not Lord Melbourne

[PiellaGibson]

I thought he loved her! I'm so confused!

[ImaSumac20]

@PiellaGibson Albert did love her, just not as much as she did at the beginning of their marriage. But he did loved her completely, eventually.

[PiellaGibson]

@ImaSumac20 That's good then. :)

[PandaPawSmile]

@PiellaGibson They often gave one another beautiful presents, as you'd see at Osbourne House. Like the other commenter said, he married her out of duty, but he did fall in love with her, and love her deeply. It's just, Victoria, being a woman, was more emotional than him, so it showed more on her part. But Albert did adore her, there's lots of evidence of that, especially in the letters he wrote to her, and witness accounts. When he died though, he was alright with it, which made me sad :(

[TheDeviantLord]

Now I can understand while in the Victorian Era there was so little talk of...sex, or anything that had to do with the body.

[helmsdeep84]

@TheDeviantLord well, at their private house "Osborne House", they did have a lot of nude marble statues, to much flesh shown on them....hehehe

[TokyoSpike]

@helmsdeep84 And one of their bedrooms had a a very sexy painting in it, didn't it :-)

[sugerlump391]

When they are dancing, the women have something around their wrists? Is that their dancing card?

[Shangas]

@sugerlump391 Yes, those are the dance-cards.

[johneunson]

had zadok the priest been composed? i thought it came later.

[docnarchy]

@johneunson Yes. Zadok the Priest had been composed by Haendel. One of George I of Great Britain's last acts before his death in 1727 was to sign "an Act of naturalisation of George Frideric Händel and others". His first commission from Handel as a newly-naturalised British citizen was to write the music for the coronation of George II of England and queen Caroline which took place on 11 October the same year.
