  • Victoria & Abdul
    Victoria & Abdul For those Anglophiles who want another immersion in the warm, luxurious stew of the British monarchy, look no further for your latest fix than “Victoria and Abdul,” an engaging if utterly predictable dip into late Victorianism by a whole passel of old British pros, plus an attractive newcomer. All you need to know is that Dame Judi Dench rules this film as Queen Victoria, way late in her reign, alienated from her son (the future Edward VII), sour as vinegar from her unending rule, and looking for some—any—breath of the novel and the fresh. As she herself admits when challenged in the film: ”I am cantankerous, greedy, fat; I am perhaps, disagreeably, attached to power.” Her relief comes in the form of one Abdul Karim, a young, literate Indian Muslim (Ali Fazal) who is selected to come to London from Agra in 1887 to deliver a special commemorative coin to Her Majesty on the occasion of her Golden Jubilee. Abdul is supposed to be invisible to the Queen, but instead he catches her eye, then her mood, and finally, her spirit to the point where he becomes her teacher, or “munshi,” in all things Muslim and Indian as well as serving as her clerk. Theirs is a relationship which appalls her family—including the Prince of Wales (a bombastic Eddie Izzard)— and the court—especially in the person of Sir Henry Ponsonby (the uptight Tim Pigott- Smith) but which lasted until the Queen’s death in 1901. Sound familiar? Of course, we are in the same realm as the earlier “Mrs.

SYNOPSIS 1837. VICTORIA (17) (Emily Blunt) is the object of a royal power struggle. Her uncle, KING WILLIAM (Jim Broadbent), is dying and Victoria is in line for the throne. Everyone is vying to win her favor. However Victoria is kept from the court by her overbearing mother, THE DUCHESS OF KENT (Miranda Richardson), and her ambitious advisor, CONROY (Mark Strong). Victoria hates them both. Her only friend is her doting governess, LEHZEN (Jeanette Hain), who is seemingly as untrustworthy as the rest. Victoria’s handsome cousin, ALBERT (Rupert Friend) is invited to visit by her mother. He's also the nephew of her Uncle, KING LEOPOLD OF BELGIUM (Thomas Kretschmann). It's obvious that Albert has been coached to win her hand. At first she's annoyed as she has no intention of being married. She never wants to be controlled again. However Albert is also tired of being manipulated by his relatives. Victoria and Albert talk openly and sincerely and become friends. When he returns home she grants him permission to write to her.

This was Albert’s inner sanctum, a small room barely 17ft square, tucked away on the first floor of the north-west corner of the original square wing known as the Pavilion. Had the visitor seen this room after the Prince’s rearrangement of it in 1847, what a strange but marvellous sight would have greeted his eyes! Quite out of keeping with the taste of every previous English monarch, Albert had adorned this room with some two dozen small, refined early Italian paintings,1 whose bright colours, gilding and stucco ornamentation would have glinted splendidly in the sharp light coming from the Solent and contrasted elegantly with the mahogany furniture.

  • Mrs Brown by Jeremy Brock Ext. the Grounds Of
    MRS BROWN BY JEREMY BROCK EXT. THE GROUNDS OF WINDSOR CASTLE, FOREST - NIGHT Begin on black. The sound of rain driving into trees. Something wipes frame and we are suddenly hurtling through a forest on the shoulders of a wild-eyed, kilted JOHN BROWN. Drenched hair streaming, head swivelling left and right, as he searches the lightening-dark. A crack to his left. He spins round, raises his pistol, smacks past saplings and plunges on. EXT. THE GROUNDS OF WINDSOR CASTLE, FOREST - NIGHT Close-up on BROWN as he bangs against a tree and heaves for air. A face in its fifties, mad-fierce eyes, handsome, bruised lips, liverish. He goes on searching the dark. Stops. Listens through the rain. A beat. Thinking he hears a faint thump in the distance, he swings round and races on. EXT. THE GROUNDS OF WINDSOR CASTLE, FOREST - NIGHT BROWN tears through the trees, pistol raised at full arm's length, breath coming harder and harder. But even now there's a ghost grace, a born hunter's grace. He leaps fallen branches, swerves through turns in the path, eyes forward, never stumbling once. EXT. THE GROUNDS OF WINDSOR CASTLE, FOREST - NIGHT BROWN bursts into a clearing, breaks to the centre and stops. With his pistol raised, he turns one full slow circle. His eyes take in every swerve and kick of the wildly swaying trees. There's a crack and a branch snaps behind him. He spins round, bellows deep from his heart: BROWN God save the Queen!! And fires. Nothing happens. The trees go on swaying, the storm goes on screaming and BROWN just stands there, staring into empty space.

  • Queen Victoria's Medical Household
    Medical History, 1982,26:307-320. QUEEN VICTORIA'S MEDICAL HOUSEHOLD by A. M. COOKE* On the 24th of May, 1819, at Kensington Palace it was announced that: Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent was safely delivered of a Princess this morning at a quarter past five o'clock. Her Royal Highness and the Princess are doing well. D. D. Davis J. Wilson DRS. DAVIS AND WILSON were the first of a long line of medical men who attended, or were appointed to attend, Queen Victoria throughout her lifetime of nearly eighty-two years. Also assisting at the birth was a midwife, Friaulein Siebold, who, although she also held a medical qualification, did not sign the bulletin. It is an interesting coincidence that the Frilulein also attended at the birth of Prince Albert. We do not know what other medical attendants Victoria had as a child or before she came to the throne, but we know the medical staff of her father and mother. When ill, doubtless she would have been attended by one of them. Date ofdeath David Daniel Davis Attended Queen 1841 James Wilson 841 Friulein Siebold ) Victoria's birth 9 William George Maton 1835 John Merriman (Apothecary) 1839 Sir Joseph de Courcy Laffan, Bt. 1848 Sir Robert Alexander Chermside 1860 Richard Blagden 1861 James Clark 1870 As a girl Victoria was kept strictly under her mother's thumb, was told that she was inexperienced and immature, and that she would require much help when she came to the throne. This is thought to have been part of a plan by her mother and her mother's Comptroller, Sir John Conroy, to make her mother Regent.
