Victoria & Albert: The Royal Wedding S01E02 - Victoria & Albert: The Royal Wedding Part Two

In episode two, Lucy and her team are in their finery for Victoria and Albert's big day. Lucy dons the latest look for high-status ladies in 1840 and takes her place in a pew inches from the altar. The ceremony is the culmination of the love story at the heart of this series and the most accurate reconstruction of the event ever staged. It's also a forum for discussion of the feuds and political undercurrents that meant that this union had to be a fresh start with a new kind of royal family. A sumptuous wedding breakfast follows the ceremony prepared in a Georgian kitchen by Food Historian Dr. Annie Gray. It is a prelude to the first night that began a marriage so iconic it saved the Crown and heralded constitutional monarchy as we know it today.
