Victoria Season 4 plot:
The plot of Victoria season four follows the political and personal struggles that Queen Victoria faces in her reign. The plot for each episode is based on an actual event or person that occurred throughout her life, such as giving birth to Prince Leopold. Plotting out all of these events would be difficult, so not every plot point will be included in the show.
However, the plot for each episode will be as accurate as possible. Victoria has been praised in previous seasons for its historical accuracy, and this season will only expand on that even more! In 1837, at the height of her power as Empress of India and Ireland’s most successful ruler in generations, Victoria faced a rebellion from within her own ranks – led by her son Prince Bertie (played by Rufus Sewell).
The Starring Cast:
- Jenna Coleman returns as the young queen along with Tom Hughes as Albert;
- Helena Bonham Carter stars as Princess Alice;
- Adrian Scarborough plays Lord Melbourne;
- Laura Carmichael reprises the role of Lady Edith, plus many more.

Reviews:
“With a plot as slow and insipid as this, it’s impossible to care about the outcome of Victoria in either love or politics.” – The Telegraph (UK). “It’s still compelling enough to watch… But with so many other things on TV getting our attention right now, is there time for it?” – Radio Times (UK). “For all its plot twists, Victoria feels like a soap opera.” – The New York Times. “A slow-burning but still gripping return for the queen’s reign… Without the looming fear of death hanging over her head, there is more scope to enjoy an episode celebrating 40 years.
Expectations:
With so much plot to cover, the season is sure to be action-packed! Victoria looks set for a sensational new series. Season four promises more drama than ever before as Victoria and Albert face their toughest challenges yet – including another royal birth.
