I’m wondering if Victoria will stop trusting her governess now that the jumping advice didn’t prevent a pregnancy.
Albert is super excited and calls the news about the baby “magnificent”, but Victoria is not happy at all. She’s sick, miserable and—even worse—scared.
She is queen, in part, because her Aunt Charlotte died in childbirth. We don’t hear about people dying in childbirth that often anymore, but back then, childbirth was perilous.
So, while Victoria is just barely pregnant, she and Albert decide to take a babymoon disguised as a tour of their country.
Albert shows how astute he is at shooting and he charms everyone. He also wants to get involved in the locomotive industry. She tells him no, he can’t ride on a train.
He wants to anyway, so he decides to ask for permission rather than forgiveness and goes on a train ride.
