Born 200 years ago today at Kensington Palace, Princess Victoria would become Queen to a massive empire, and a reference quality royal for millions across the globe. Public adoration for the Royal Family reached its pinnacle under her reign, and today her life continues to inspire TV series and film productions.
On-screen portrayals range from Rose Tapley, whose played the monarch in the 1912 silent film The Victoria Cross, right up to Jenna Coleman in ITV’s smash hit series Victoria. On the big screen Emily Blunt’s Young Victoria and Judi Dench’s double bill of Mrs. Brown and Victoria & Abdul form the usual impression, however on the small screen Coleman has set quite a standard. The public’s fascination with the Royals shows no signs of abatement, and with the third season of the show enjoying its DVD release this week there’s never been a better time to catch up.
