The series revolves around the early years of the British Queen Victoria. From her coronation in 1837 at the age of 18 until her marriage to Prince Albert in 1840. Victoria was famous for her outspokenness and was the first woman to seem to have it all: a marriage, nine children and the post of Queen of the United Kingdom. Victoria would eventually rule for a period of 63 years, making her England's longest-serving monarch until she was overtaken by Elizabeth II in September 2015.
