Victoria season 2 premiere preview: A Soldier’s Daughter and The Green-Eyed Monster
Victoria finally returns with two hours of royal intrigue, sumptuous costumes, and, dare we say it, marital issues for the queen and her husband.
It feels like it’s really been longer than a year since Victoria was last on the air here in the United States, but, then again, the ensuing year has been rather long for other reasons, not discounting the sheer amount of TV that there’s been to watch. Regardless, the queen is back, and so is Albert.
Before we get to the new stuff, though, here’s where we left off: The royal couple has had their first child and ever-so-creatively named the baby after her mother. Despite it all, Albert and Victoria do love each other.
That all being said, here’s the preview PBS has put out on YouTube:
Did we just see the queen throwing things at her husband? Because we think we just saw the queen throwing things at her husband. Regardless, the general impression is that those are simply minor bumps in the road for these two …
Well, maybe not so minor. Here’s the synopsis for these first two episodes, aired back to back. The first has the name of “A Soldier’s Daughter,” which isn’t too bad, but the second half is “The Green-Eyed Monster.”
"New mother Victoria is impatient to return to ruling, while Albert attempts to protect her from the news regarding British soldiers in Afghanistan. Victoria is pregnant again and her equilibrium is threatened by Albert’s friendship with Ada Lovelace."
Allow me to say, for just a brief moment, that I very definitely called pregnancy showing up again, and quickly, in season 2. If you’re worried that Culturess won’t continue doing research on the historical aspects of the show … nope, we’re definitely still on that case. It may, however, be difficult to choose between the two Albert-related plotlines here, between Ada Lovelace and the situation in Afghanistan.

We suppose it all depends on which is the most dramatic and interesting. Which do you think is more likely to lead to the above object-throwing? (We know we have our guesses, but we won’t share them just yet.)
