The Young Victoria - Struggles of Royal Marriage Decisions
Queen Adelaide:
You'll have to decide on a husband soon. What about Leopold's candidate?
Victoria:
I can't marry the man they want me to marry.
Queen Adelaide:
Every suitor will come with strings attached.
Victoria:
Can't I be my own mistress for a while, haven't I earned it? Dear Lord M, he's so very kind, I couldn't have asked for a better tutor.
Queen Adelaide:
You may dream of independence, but you won't get it. From now on, everyone will push and pull you for their own advantage, Melbourne more than the rest. Just remember, you are the queen. He's a politician. And politicians, whatever their creed, always resent the monarchy. They pass through, you stay. So just keep dear Lord M in his proper sphere.
Victoria:
He's already chosen the new household.
