Victoria became Queen of England when she was just a teenager so it is no surprise that the Victoria we see in this story seems young and unfit to rule the greatest empire in the world. She had no real experience but you can get a glimpse of the steely will she had and how it would shape her in the years to come. Victoria relied heavily on her advisor, partly because she saw herself in love with him despite his mature years and also because he was the one person who didn't tell her what to do. Her mother, uncle and various family members wanted her to be a puppet Queen and she would not do that. Her first meetings with cousin Albert were interesting because we know of the great love they had for one another and yet they seemed not to have very much in common. This is a tentative Victoria, the young girl who loves her dog, dreams of first love and resides herself to knowing that she must rule.
