With only weeks to go until Victoria returns to our TV screens, ITV has teased fans by sharing a new trailer from the second series. It seems the young Queen Victoria will be faced with trouble as she struggles to adapt to life as a mother, a wife and a monarch. Played by Jenna Coleman, it is clear the royal is finding it difficult as she makes a transition with her small family. Her husband Prince Albert (Tom Hughes) is trying everything in his power to support her. But does she keep pushing him away?
The new clip also sees Game Of Thrones star Dame Diana Rigg make her debut as the Duchess of Bucchleuch, the young Queen's new Mistress of the Robes. But it seems the pair may have met their match, with the Duchess telling the Queen: "You're not the only woman who's felt in low spirits after the birth of a child." To which, Victoria exclaims: "But I am not a woman - I am a Queen."
