It's all about to become extremely exciting for Victoria fans as a Christmas special will be debuting on our screens. Victoria's second season recently came to an intense end as we were all left stunned watching the closing scene. But hold tight, the ITV drama appears to have more harrowing scenes to come for the festive celebration.
A short but dramatic trailer that premiered at the end of the last episode showed some intense scenes. There appears to be heartbreak in the distance as Victoria can be seen clutching onto her husband, crying in the freezing cold. The trailer implies that this may be the moment that Prince Albert – played by Tom Hughes – dies. But do we really think this is the case?
