HOLDING A HEART - The Reign of Queen Victoria

Yeah, those who know me would have seen this video coming with me being a great fan of Queen Victoria. Apart from Emily Blunt looking ten times hotter than the real woman on the throne (go Hollywood), the portrayal of what actually occurs in the film pays significant homage to actual history. Well, minus the whole writing letters to Albert constantly. That didn't actually happen.

If you have read the book 'We Two: Victoria and Albert -- Rulers, Partners, Rivals' by Gillian Gill, you'll realize that the directors of this film must have had it on hand at all times before, during, and after filming. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it. It is one of my favorite history books and has footnotes galore for your reading pleasure. ;)

Mostly focuses on Victoria POV and her struggles.

Enjoy!
