S02E02- Victoria, in which we explore a bit of Victoria’s early reign through the lens of the PBS/Masterpiece series, Victoria! Did you know that they sized her coronation ring for the wrong finger (so it was too small) and that they shoved it on anyway? It was particularly painful, but Victoria soldiered on (and wrote about it in her diary later!). Let’s explore her relationship with Lord M, her mother, and her early reign in HistoryPop!
