![]() ![]() Victoria was completely against it though, since, y’know, he seized power after losing an election, and she’s not about that coup life. With a manic gleam in her eye, Feodora says, “As empress she would outrank everyone.” Here’s the thing: While this plot development is not entirely accurate, Louis Napoleon did propose to Adelheid. England needs an alliance with Louis Napoleon to keep Russia at bay. All right for now, but I’ve got my eye on you, Albert.įeodora is strolling in the park with her daughter Adelheid (yes, real name) when a pre-resignation Palmerston sidles on up to her and asks if her daughter would like to be Empress of France. He calls the exhibition a white elephant, Victoria replies “fiddlesticks,” a word we should use more in this world, and there is a nice hand-holding moment. But Victoria is not of that mind and instead offers to help ticket sales by opening the exhibition.Īlbert offers the first of two redeeming moments in this episode by explaining the origin of the phrase “ white elephant.” It’s a fun trivia fact, and I’m grateful to whichever nerd in the writers’ room added it. “Dwell in your discontent! I hope no one comes to your lousy exhibition anyway!” I entirely understand. Not enough people are buying tickets and he is becoming more and more despairing. Since Albert has spent this whole season striving for King of Douche Mountain, I’m not against that scenario.įor anyone somehow still invested in the prince consort, he’s working away at his exhibition. ![]() What the people truly want is for Lord Melbourne to come back from the dead and take Victoria away from Albert. I had hopes for Sophie and Joseph, but beyond some decent chemistry, the relationship has barely been developed.

Sophie tells him the queen shall DEMAHND he sets her free, but whoops, he told Victoria she’s ill, and Victoria sent her get-better jelly, so no help from the royals at present, although I guess a jar of royal jelly is better than nothing. Her sniveling husband with his too-small mustache is keeping her there and sends her regrets to court. Long-Suffering Duchess Sophie is not, it turns out, in an asylum, but a prisoner in her own home. No doubt his crooked grin and jaunty air shall adorn Buckingham Palace once more next season. ![]() His resignation as Foreign Secretary is tempered by murmurs of his future prime ministership. Yes, you are checking all the “rake with a heart of gold” clichéd boxes, but that doesn’t prevent me from enjoying you. (Are we sticking with “emperor” on that one?) While support for Louis-Philippe threatened Victoria’s reign, this time it’s Palmerston who’s in danger. God save her.įrance bookends the season: We began with Louis-Philippe and end with Louis Napoleon, a.k.a Napoleon III, self-proclaimed emperor after the people refused to elect him again. ![]() Tickets here: your EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal by going to /filthy to get a Huge Discount off your NordVPN Plan + a Bonus Gift!
