Delving into the youthful queen's reign, thrust into the role suddenly, she finds herself constantly at odds with outside forces looking to usurp her authority. All the while she struggles to maintain a relationship with her distant love, Prince Albert, who matches her vivaciousness with a quiet resolve.
