- Victoria and Albert are, I tried to think of all the great lovers and actually, you don't need to because Victoria and Albert are Victoria and Albert.
But the Anthony and Cleopatra, they have that kind of, they're so different.
They're utterly opposites.
He's very logical and mathematical.
She's tempestuous and romantic.
- Ernest is always telling me I'm too serious.
- And you always tell me I'm not serious enough.
But somehow, there's something between them that's just undeniable.
They're yin and yang and they fit.
And it's like there was never another made for one another.
They're extraordinary.
(romantic orchestral music) - I think, just like any good romance, you know, there's great romances in all walks of life.
I think they're all as magical as the next, really and I think this just happens to be another magical romance.
I will hold them here, next to my heart.
The pleasure was in focusing on that and the human side of these characters, but I think there's an intensity.
- I do not need you to tell me what to think, Albert.
- True passion has an intensity.
It's stormy and there's volatility and there's incredible love, and there's honesty, and vulnerability.
And I feel like we have all of that at the core of this relationship.
And looking at that relationship in a very extreme and unique setting, being the queen and her regent.
Your majesty.
And I think that just brings a heightened stake to everything, but at the heart of it, I think they're just two, you know, magnetism.
Who knows what it is?
No one knows, do we?
