10pm Tuesday VICTORIA & ALBERT: THE WEDDING - Docudrama
Enjoy a recreation of the wedding that changed British matrimonial ceremonies forever. This series, hosted by Lucy Worsley, celebrates an enduring love that was to melt the nation's heart and set the standard for generations of brides to come.
British Historian, Lucy Worsley gives us all new insights into Victoria and Albert’s unusual and trend-setting wedding by meticulously recreating it – and explaining how and why decisions were made every step of the way.
From the white gown to all the guests’ fashions and to the seating chart (which said everything about who was in the Queen’s favor and who was not), to Lord Melbourne’s part in it all. It was Lord M. – the mentor and confidant of Queen Victoria – who invented the Royal Wedding industrial complex that fascinates the world today! A chef working on the docu-drama even recreates Mr. Francatelli’s dishes for the elaborate 100-dish wedding breakfast – and we get to hear a lovely piece of music that Prince Albert composed.
