Synopsis
As Victoria announces her engagement, Leopold demands a settlement and a title for Albert. However the Privy Council, resistant to the marriage, only agree to a reduced stipend and refuse a title as requested by Victoria. Even Baroness Lehzen seems less than enthusiastic about the marriage. Nevertheless, Victoria presses ahead with her plans, departing from traditional custom and promises to 'obey' her husband in an attempt to overcome Albert's fears that he will dominate her. After the wedding she bids goodbye to Lord Melbourne whilst below the stairs Francatelli makes Miss Skerrett an offer.
