Gloral

glory.

Hallelu.

Glor.

Good morning, your royal highness. I am

sorry to disturb you, sir, but I've just

heard the Russian exhibits have been

held up.

Held up

by ice in the Baltic. It's been a long

winter.

It has been a long winter.

Albert, you must come and have

breakfast.

Majesty.

Ah, Mr. Cole, you're here already.

Albert, I know you are busy, but you

must eat.

The Russian ships are frozen in the

Baltic. I promise the exhibition will be

fine without a few sable pelts and dried

herrings.

Actually, Mom, they were sending samples

of minerals that could

Won't it Mr. Cole?

Very

well.

Awful. Colonel Sip Thorp

demanding I put a stop to this crystal

abomination.

Really? Can't he see Albert's a

visionary?

Perhaps only a wife can truly appreciate

his genius.

What do you mean?

Just a

your belief in Albert must be such a

solace to him at the moment. People are

being so unkind.

Monmouth see Sophie has taken a turn for

the worse.

I had no idea it was so serious. Did

you, Emma?

I know, ma'am.

In fact, she has been looking very well

of late.

Blooming. I would say she's suffering

from some kind of inflammation of the

brain that requires complete rest and

seclusion.

I am so sorry to have been the bearer of

bad news.

It is so illogical. The United States

has sent their steam powered threshing

machine and now the vice president is

concerned about hailstones breaking the

glass roof.

What does it matter if some liy livered

American won't chew up? The exhibition

is for the people and I'm sure they

can't wait to see their steam powered

threshing machine. Adelhide,

let me introduce my foreign secretary,

Lord Parkston

is mere

serene highness

has barely left the school room. Lord

Palmer

Heidi,

we must talk about your dress for the

exhibition.

I only have two dresses and I'm afraid

they are not chic.

Then we must go and talk to my dresser

and I'm sure Fear would be happy to lend

you some of her new jewels.

Fedor, of course, you will be looking

for a match for her.

She's still so young.

Oh, well, the King of Prussia's brother

Sigland will be coming. If Heidi were to

find him agreeable, I think it could be

most suitable. Vicki of course will

marry the crown prince but until then it

could be beneficial to have an ally in

Berlin. Do you not think or pun?

If you say so sir,

you are most thoughtful, Albert.

Prince Flores asked the king if he could

marry his daughter and the king with

tears in his eyes gave him his blessing.

And so Aurora and Florizil

were married and they lived happily ever

after. The end.

Now time for bed.

Time for bed.

Good night.

Papa told Aunt Theo that I'm going to

marry the crown prince and live in

Berlin. But I want to stay here with

you.

Yes. Well, you do now. But one day

you'll want your own family.

But I promise

when you do marry, you will marry just

as I did for love.

Do you think cousin Adelide will marry

for love?

Yes. Yes, I'm I'm sure she will. Will

papa come and say good night?

Maybe not tonight, darling. Now bed.

Good night.

Good night.

Russell,

I've just had a dispatch from Paris.

There's been a coup and Louis Napoleon

has declared himself emperor.

Who'd have thought that after Waterloo

there would be another Bonapart emperor?

Well, he's nothing like his uncle. He's

even shorter, apparently, and he has no

plans to attack Britain.

How can you be sure?

Well, because he'll be too busy licking

his own country into shape.

You seem very confident.

He may be a Frenchman, but Louis

Napoleon is someone I can do business

with.

I want to see my son.

I'm sure you do. However, I think you

would find the sight of his lunatic

mother rather distressing. Don't you?

Perhaps it's time I sent you to the

asylum where he can be properly cared

for.

There is nothing wrong with me.

When the queen hears about what you've

done, she will demand that you set me

free.

Oh, how remiss of me. Her majesty sent

over some calls for jelly. She does so

hope you'll be better for the

exhibition.

What a shame. You'll have to disappoint

her.

The Times today said the influx of

visitors from all over the world will

likely result in fermentation of a new

plague just as the Black Death followed

the Crusades.

How How can a respectable newspaper

print such utter nonsense?

I don't think there is such a thing as a

respectable paper, sir.

Albert,

your Majesty,

you're still working.

How can I sleep knowing that we have not

sold enough tickets?

But I thought the excursion fears were

going to make all the difference.

They are helping. Certainly, ma'am, but

no one's buying the season tickets. It

it seems that society women do not wish

to rub shoulders with the ruffians and

foreigners.

Might they want to shake hands with

their queen?

Why yes indeed, ma'am.

Then I think we have a solution, Mr.

Cole.

Truer. No, I do not want to use you to

sell tickets.

And I, Albert, do not want your great

creation to fail. And more importantly,

I want you to get some sleep.

Perhaps you are right.

Yes,

indeed.

Good night, Mr. Cole.

Ma'am.

Come on.

Yes. Very well. Very well.

It is magnificent, my love,

but it will still be there in the

morning.

Burma.

The kings, they have these sacred

elephants that are silvery in a color.

And if a king gives an elephant to a

subject, it is seen as a sign of great

fortune.

The animals are too sacred to be put to

work. And of course, they cannot be

sold. They are so expensive to keep that

sometimes the new owners they are forced

to choose between feeding their children

and feeding the beast.

That is what the times called this

today.

A wet elephant.

I am afraid I have built a monument to

my own folly.

Fiddle sticks.

People just have to get used to the

idea. That's all.

And if they do not

Well, if they do not,

then you will still be my husband,

the father of my children,

my beloved.

Your hand is like ice.

Your serene highness,

what are you doing in the park?

I'm coming to see the prince's creation.

Ah,

she's a fine looking girl, your hidy.

Too pretty to marry a Prussian.

She could do much better. Louisie

Napoleon has declared himself emperor of

France. He's going to need an empress.

I can't imagine why a man who distrusts

the French as you do would suggest such

a match.

Well, the Russian Bay would like to

sweep up the Balkans in its claw. All

they would need to do is find a common

cause with a country with an excellent

navy and ambitions to recreate the lost

dominance of Europe. France for example,

that would be most unfortunate for us.

And you'd think Hardy could prevent this

alliance.

I think if she's anything like her

mother, then Britain's interests will be

quite safe.

Of course.

And as empress,

she would outrank everyone,

even the Queen of England.

Good day.

Have you heard from the Duchess of Mun?

Ma'am, I hope she is recovering from her

illness.

The Duke said she's no better.

Would you like me to make some

inquiries, ma'am?

Yes.

Yes, perhaps you should.

I'll write a letter to Sophie

to be delivered in person.

That's a good idea.

Glad you approved, Turner.

Oh, isn't it lovely? I don't want to

take it off ever. Aunt Victoria has been

so kind. I love her so much.

She can afford to give you lovely

things.

And Uncle Albert says he thinks I will

like Prince Sigment. Imagine living in

Berlin.

Imagine

living in Paris.

Once again, Palmyon has exceeded his

authority. He had no right to

congratulate Napoleon on on making

himself emperor of the French.

I don't understand how this Bonapart can

make himself emperor just like that.

After all that we have done to cultivate

a good relationship with Prussia,

Palmerson has congratulated their

greatest enemy.

I think you're not alone in deploring

his action, sir. I suspect that for once

the foreign secretary will not have the

support of the country or the commons.

Ah, fer,

can it be right that you were seen in

the park today talking with Lord Palms?

Oh, he accosted me, Albert. I didn't

want to cut him in public, much as I

would have liked to.

Well, he has put the whole exhibition in

jeopardy with his support of Louis

Napoleon. I thought the Prussians would

withdraw, but I explained the king of

Palmerson does not speak for the crown.

I think he speaks only for himself.

Well, I must say I am pleased that

Prince Sigmund will still be coming.

Well, you are so kind, Albert, to think

of my little Heidi at a time like this.

Well, I I know how much her happiness

matters to you.

I acted in the national interest, man,

of which you are the sole guardian.

Of course not. But this country's

reputation is my greatest concern,

which is why I'm here.

Thank you.

Is it true that you're going to attend

the public opening of the exhibition?

Of course.

Think of all that glass. Such a tempting

target. Oh,

don't be so liy livered.

You've been against the exhibition from

the beginning.

Well, the British public don't take well

to hyperbole, ma'am. The minute you call

something great, they just want to

belittle it.

So, what do you suggest?

Stay away from the exhibition. Let it be

the prince's project and not the crowns.

But the queen told me to give this to

the Duchess in person. No one is allowed

up there, miss. Not even to clean or

empty the slops.

Do you think the Duchess is very ill?

What kind of an illness is it when a

patient has to be locked in when the

nurses come down for their meals?

My dress is pink and so is Vickiy's. And

Bertie will wear his kilt. It's

important people recognize the Prince of

Wales.

People are talking of nothing else but

the exhibition. Ma'am,

excuse me, ma'am. I went to Mmouth House

as you asked me to, and I wasn't allowed

to see the Duchess.

It is my belief that she's been confined

to a room on the grounds of insanity.

Insanity.

Sophie is not a lunatic.

No, but I suspect the Duke does not

agree with you, ma'am.

Please find the Duke of Mmouth

and tell him I wish to speak with him

at once.

Let Broady go.

I want to ring his aristocratic neck. I

could do it, too. Just like killing a

chicken. One quick twist. This

is why you mustn't go near him, Joseph.

He's a powerful man.

I don't care what he does to me. He has

no right to lock her up.

I would lay down my life for her.

Abigail,

don't look so surprised. You think a

footman isn't capable of real feeling,

and a good-looking young man could use a

duchess for his own advancement.

Not everyone thinks like you, Mr. Penge.

You don't think I'm capable of real

feeling,

Mrs. Turner?

Birdie.

Emily,

you look surprised. Henry, I hope I'm

not spoiling any of your plans.

You know that you are the only plan

worth following.

But what are you doing here? You hate

London in the season.

The queen invited me to the opening of

the exhibition.

Well, near left Ireland for that.

I could hardly refuse a royal command.

And besides, I'm looking forward to

seeing the famous Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace? Crystal Carbuncle? More

like. It's full of the world's

impediment.

Oh, a step towards the realization of

the unity of mankind.

Emily, please. You know what sententious

clap trap does to my poor nerves? Have

you ever considered the possibility that

the prince is right?

Never.

God made Britain an island for a reason.

So God's an Englishman,

of course.

Are you sure Louis Napoleon deserves

your support?

Is that why you're here?

I didn't think you cared for politics.

It isn't politics I care for, Henry.

Since you are determined to proceed,

there is nothing I can do to prevent a

vote of sensure against the foreign

secretary for his letter of uh

congratulation

to the so-called emperor of the French.

But Palmerston has stuck to the foreign

office like a limpit through every

crisis of his own making.

This time we must be sure

of getting him out.

The Duke of Monmouth. Um,

your majesty,

is it true, Juke, that the Duchess, my

mistress of the robes, is being confined

in your house as a lunatic?

Given the Duchess's mental state, I'm

afraid I had no choice. believe there's

anything wrong with Sophie's mind.

But the doctors who examined her would

disagree with you.

Really?

In my experience,

men only call women mad when they are

doing something inconvenient.

Her behavior has been more than

inconvenient, ma'am. It has been

wanting.

The doctors call it hysterical nyamania.

So you see, ma'am,

I had no choice. She is my wife, and I

regret to say she is mad.

Duke,

I expect to see the duchess

at the exhibition tomorrow.

You may leave us.

Wake up, mama. Wake up.

I think papara is dead.

Come on, mama.

Albert.

Albert.

Albert.

Sure.

About what? What? What? What's

happening?

I'm so sorry, papa. I wanted to talk to

you. He thought you were dead.

Oh, well well as as you can see I

I'm very much alive.

But only just Albert, you cannot go on

like this.

Victoria, I I do not think you should

accompany me tomorrow.

I do not want you tainted by my failure.

Bertie,

off to bed with you.

Do you know that Palmerston said the

same thing to me today?

I would have to be really quite

stubborn.

One might even say

irrational

to ignore both of you. Don't you think?

Of course I'm coming with you, Albert.

P your hand is very cold.

That that is because I am nervous.

Well, I think you have nothing to worry

about.

It's time.

Good morning, Mr. Cole.

Your majesty.

You see, we have the Queen's weather.

I hope you've come to tell me the

tickets have all sold.

Why, yes, ma'am. And the park is

completely full with what I believe are

well-wishes.

What else could they be?

Well, Inspector Dorney thinks the crowd

might not be entirely benign.

You uh think there could be trouble.

Inspector,

your royal highness,

with so many people gathered in one

place, it doesn't take much to turn a

crowd.

What would you suggest,

sir? I would suggest that you enter

through the back way in a closed

carriage and that your children should

remain in the safety of the palace.

I cannot put you and the children in

danger. Do you have confidence in your

creation, Albert? Because even if you

don't, I do,

please.

Does the queen know

what? That I'm a chartist. Yes, she

does. I am not in the habit of

pretending to be someone I'm not.

Abigail, please. Please.

I wasn't pretending all the time.

Mrs. Turner to you, Inspector Dory.

All

right.

Look at all these people, Henry.

All wearing their Sunday best for the

exhibition.

How do you know they haven't turned out

to see me? Um

Louis Napoleon.

Keep smiling, darling.

Heat. Heat.

Oh,

gracious

queen. Long live a noble

queen.

It's the eighth wonder of the world.

I'm so proud of you. Saint happy

victorious.

Happy

and glorious

long to rain

us.

save.

Oh, Majesty,

we are living at a period of most

wonderful transition.

We are moving towards that great end.

The realization of the unity of all

mankind.

The distances that separated the

different countries are rapidly

vanishing with the achievements of

modern invention. The world is getting

smaller.

And the aim of the exhibition is to

unite the art and industry from every

nation on the earth.

Thank you.

There were many who said this could not

be done, but they did not possess the

vision of one man,

my husband,

and his accomplice, Sir Henry Cole, who

understood that the nations of the world

were ready for this festival of peace.

And now it is with the greatest pleasure

that I declare the exhibition

open.

Sophie,

I'm so glad to see you here. Fully

recovered, I hope.

Yes, ma'am. So, you have no need for

your attendance?

And Duke, huh? You must be dying to

inspect the steam threshing machine.

Ma'am,

better, I think. Yes, ma'am.

Oh, look.

Excuse me.

What is it?

Excuse me, your grace, but I think

you'll find the American gallery very

much to your taste.

I hope you will be careful.

Your husband is watching.

But maybe this is the moment you could

slip away unobserved.

Majesty,

this is a most impressive gathering and

everything completely on time.

Congratulations to you both.

Thank you. And also the the the roof has

not fallen in.

May I introduce my daughter Vicki?

Vicki, this is his majesty, the king of

Prussia, and his son, the crown prince,

your highness.

Dearest Sigment, may I also introduce my

niece, Adelhide?

Would family and friends call me Heidi?

Cousin Heidi? I would like to show you

the pavilion of my country. There's a

piece of coal that is resembling a duont

and seem to be enjoying one another's

company.

What a matchmaker you are, Abbert.

I thought I'd never see you again.

There is a boat that sails to New York

tomorrow from Liverpool.

Meet me at Houston tonight and we can

catch the train together.

America, Sophie,

a place where we don't have to be

duchesses and footmen.

It won't be the life you were used to,

but it will be a life based on love.

You know how much I want to be with you.

But how can I leave William?

Men would never let him go.

But William won't be a child for long.

Thank you.

Before you start, I should tell you I'm

leaving the palace.

Actually, Joseph,

I came to ask your pardon,

for misjudging you.

When you came to the palace, I took you

for the kind of unscrupulous man who

would do anything for his own advantage.

I see now that I was wrong.

No, Mr. Ben, you were quite right.

I was looking for advantage,

but instead I found someone whose

happiness was more important than your

own.

I do remember what it's like to lose

your reason over a woman.

And I hope you have more luck than I

had.

Now

you should leave quickly before the Duke

sees you.

His Excellency Ali, the envoy from

Persia, you're

now that you have recovered. His

Excellency Mame Ali, the envoy from

Turkey.

Your Majesty,

I trust you will not have a relapse.

Count Olaf representing the S

because Sophie,

I said great store in having you by my

side.

Best

excellency the barren ax kingdom of

denesty.

Ah just the man. Can you tell me the

name of the man with whom my wife has

been consorting?

I'm sorry your grace

but I cannot help you further.

You know, the thing I prize more than

anything is loyalty.

Then I suspect you are frequently

disappointed. Your grace, in my

experience, loyalty

must be earned, not bought.

Cousin Heidi, I've been looking for you

everywhere.

Will you do me the very great honor of

becoming my wife?

Buty, don't you think I'm a little old

for you?

No.

M says I'm getting more grown up every

day.

I'm afraid that my mama has already

found me a husband.

Not horrible. Sigment

with his stupid mustache.

Oh, I quite like Sigment.

No, she wants me to marry Louis

Napoleon.

Do you love him?

I've never met him, but she says it is

easy to love an emperor.

But uh touching scene,

foreign secretary,

prime minister,

you look as if you won the derby.

Don't tell me the vote of censure went

against me.

Perhaps we could talk privately. No

need. You'll have my letter of

resignation in the morning.

I'm so sorry that

Oh, don't pretend you're not thrilled to

be rid of me.

No way. I'm rather looking forward to

spending more time with my beautiful

wife.

83 blade knife.

Look, there's even a tuning fork.

Your Majesty, I um

you having trouble finding the right

note, Lord Pam?

Russell told you

he was almost jubilant.

should have listened to you. Ma'am, you

did warn me.

That is not in your nature.

No, I'm afraid it isn't.

So unlike you to go against public

sentiment.

I knew I was doing the right thing.

Do you know who you sound like?

My husband.

He was prepared to go against public

opinion because he knew the end result

would be worth it.

It's a great achievement.

I wish the same could be said for my

career.

Which is not over,

Lord Pat.

Goodbye, ma'am.

We'll

be ours waiting for the carriage. Do you

mind if we walk? I find myself rather

wanting to go home.

I don't mind at all, Henry.

Are you leaving, Lord Palmerston? I was

hoping we might talk.

Your serene highness, may I present Lady

Palmerston?

I'd hope she might introduce me to the

French ambassador. I'm sure it can be

arranged, but not by me. I'm afraid I'm

no longer foreign secretary.

You've been dismissed.

No, I resigned actually, but the result

is the same.

What a pity. It was a role you played

very well.

Is you have your wife to console you?

He has a wife who will make sure that

one day he becomes prime minister.

Good day, your serene highness.

Ah, Sophie,

I've been thinking that you should have

your own house in town so that your son

can stay with you.

Don't you agree?

William is is so independent now he's

gone to school.

He doesn't need me anymore.

I think every woman sometimes dreams of

escape.

But how far would you have to go to

forget your own child?

Heat.

Heat.

on save. Papa

Take

Napoleon

party.

I have something for you.

I don't want your stupid chocolate.

I see. I see.

Hey,

what's the matter?

My heart is broken.

Oh, I see.

Well, that's very serious.

But you know what? I think hearts

can be mended.

Would you like me to try?

You see, Papa,

I've fallen in love with Heidi.

I think she'd be a very good queen.

But she says Aunt Fear wants her to

marry Louise Napoleon.

And I love her so much.

Well,

I promise

you will find someone else to love.

But I won't be a good king without her.

But trust me.

You will not need ID to be a great king.

Come.

When you said you thought I should be

prime minister, were you being serious?

Yes, Henry.

I think you've had enough of foreign

affairs.

Does that mean you're going to be

staying in London with me?

How else are you going to lead the

country?

Please, would you mind?

What on earth is the matter? I've just

discovered that your sister has been

conspiring with Lord Pelgstein so that

her daughter may marry Louis Napoleon.

Ah

well nothing can come of that now.

What?

Palmerston has resigned.

Nevertheless,

I trusted her.

I confided in her and and all the times

she was deceiving me.

You were right about her, Victoria.

And I should have listened to you.

Well, I take no satisfaction in being

right.

Or would you forgive me if I did not

quite believe you?

I wanted to congratulate you once more.

You must be so proud that all your hard

work has come to such a splendid

resolution.

Oh,

and thank you, Albert, for introducing

Heidi to Sigment.

I think she likes him.

I know. What do you think Lord

Palmerston would say if she married him?

That Lord Palmer?

No,

you you no longer care what he thinks

now that he is not foreign secretary

anymore.

You betrayed me, Theodore.

Albert,

I'm not so bad. Really?

I could have allowed Heidi to accept

your son's proposal.

It is a pity.

She would have made a good queen of

England

as I would have done.

But

I have my standards and your unfortunate

son

does not meet them.

We will leave in the morning.

Theo. Theo, wait.

Bertie is my son.

He's just a child. He's a little boy

with feelings too big for his body.

I can remember what that was like.

I think you can too.

You don't have to go, Fio.

I know you were only trying to do your

best for Heidi.

The way Mama was only trying to do her

best when she sent you to Langenburgg to

get married.

I was my mother's child, too.

No one ever did the best for me.

And you have wanted to punish me

for that.

I know you think that I have everything

and that you have nothing.

But there is one thing I don't have.

a sister.

Yeah.

Mama,

I dreamt I was lost and I couldn't find

you.

Are you going to stand here every Right.

But I wanted to remember that I had done

something right.

Albert, you've done so much.

Do you think it will make a difference?

I do.

It was a day to live forever.

Well, I could not have done it without

you.

Oh, nonsense.

I did everything I could to stop you.

Not when it mattered.

No.

No.

Are you all right?

It's tired.

How beautiful do you look tonight?

This is where we stood when you

proposed.

You are so nervous.

I was. It was the biggest decision of my

life. Was

it the right one?

Albert.

Albert.

Albert.

Albert.

Albert.

Albert.
