Victoria season 2 episode 6 live stream: Watch The Luxury of Conscience online
It’s Albert versus Lehzen in the penultimate episode of the season. In other words, it’s what Victoria has always feared.
Albert and Lehzen have never been BFFs. In fact, I think their relationship can be best described as mutually, cordially suspicious. Both of them believe the other has too much influence on Victoria’s life. And, as tense as their interactions can be, Albert and Lehzen’s beef is worst for the Queen. She’s caught in between the love of her life and her most trusted confidant/surrogate mother — it’s no situation I ever want to experience, that’s for sure.
The rivalry between the Prince and the Baroness looks like it will reach its boiling point in tonight’s “The Luxury of Conscience,” the penultimate episode of Victoria season 2. The kids get sick, Lehzen somehow messes up, and Albert has finally had enough of her. “That woman is not fit to look after our children,” he tells Victoria in the episode promo. “So either she leaves or I do.”
We all know how this story ends, but that doesn’t make it any less tragic. Lehzen has been with Victoria for most of her life and has given her the support Victoria’s actual mother couldn’t (or wouldn’t) provide. Lehzen was Victoria’s ally long before Albert was even on her radar. If nothing else, “The Luxury of Conscience” will truly mark the end of an era.
Here’s the episode synopsis, courtesy of PBS:
