There have been few romances as powerful as the love shared between Queen Victoria and her Prince Consort Albert. Some have come close. Anthony and Cleopatra. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Bert and Ernie...
But none can hold a candle to the lust, love and loss that defines the marriage between the most powerful woman in the history of the world, and a German man.
Join Douglas and Hugh as they rummage through drawers to find love letters, erotic post cards and dirty drawings shared between the two, as well as diving into their early lives to discover just what made them tick.
We then look at how during the forty years of widowed life after her husband's tragic and sudden death, Victoria invented Goth culture.
Douglas also has an excellent life hack that will allow you to get away with all sorts of unacceptable behaviour without reprimand or reprisal.
