Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the opening scene, what were Victoria and Ernst playing outside?

Answer: Croquet

Albert was sitting down snacking on some food and playing with Dash while his brother and soon-to-be wife were playing croquet. They also commented on Albert dancing three dances out of the twelve and falling asleep during a reading of Byron.
2. Who were watching Victoria, Ernst and Albert from a window of Kensington Palace?

Answer: Baron Stockmar and Baroness Lehzen

Baroness Lehzen didn't think to highly of the princes but Baron Stockmar believed Victoria had chosen Albert as her husband to be. Lehzen then said she would do all in her power to prevent her from being married against her will.
3. After the princes left, what game did Victoria and Lehzen play?

Answer: Checkers

Lehzen had come in the room where Victoria had already started playing, holding her dear dog Dash in her lap. Lehzen then reminded her to speak to her mother about having her own room. Naturally the Duchess didn't take to kindly towards that idea.
4. What did Victoria give as a gift for her beloved uncle's birthday?

Answer: A sketch

The Duchess hated William IV, calling him her "deadly enemy". The King was glad she could be prevailed upon to attend. The Duchess said, "On such an occasion one naturally feels... a duty." He then beamed at his niece like a loving uncle would.
5. How many pounds of money did William offer to Victoria?

Answer: £10,000 a year

Following the ugly incident at his birthday party and a tiny argument with Wellington, the King sent his offer to Victoria. Sir John Conroy caught wind of Lord Conyngham's arrival with a message from the King to Victoria. He tried to get Conyngham to give it to him but Conyngham insisted on placing in the hand of the princess.

After delivering it to Victoria and leaving, Sir John grabbed her by her wrist and snatched the letter out of her hand. The King offered her £10,000 a year and her own establishment upon her coming of age.
6. Who was NOT present when Victoria learned of her ascension to the throne?

Answer: Sir John Conroy

A butler, The Duchess of Kent, Lord Conyngham and The Archbishop of Canterbury were present. Considering how controlling Sir John Conroy was in the princess' life, I'm surprised he wasn't there.
7. What was Victoria's first action as Queen?

Answer: Having breakfast with Baron Stockmar

She did all these things most definitely but she first had breakfast with Baron Stockmar who apprised her of Lord Melbourne's politics and personal life. From what he informed her of, Queen Victoria instantly decided to like "Lord M" very much. Next after she had breakfast with her beloved Lord M., moved her mother's bed as far away as possible and then she really let Sir John Conroy have it.
8. What "fascinating" thing was Albert doing after their wedding night?

Answer: Shaving his face

They consummated their marriage after a brief moment of hesitation by Victoria who claimed to have a splitting headache. The next scene was Albert finishing his shaving and Victoria seemed fascinated, having never seen it before.
9. Who was responsible for fetching the fuel for the fire?

Answer: Lord Steward's Staff

The Lord Chamberlain's staff were responsible for lighting the fires. The Lord Steward's staff were responsible for fetching the fuel (logs) for said fire.
10. Who fetched the fuel and lit the fire for the Prince?

Answer: Mr. Anson

After the argument about the appalling waste of the Queen's money with Baroness Lehzen, Albert returned to find Mr. Anson had fetched the wood and lit the fire. Mr. Anson then explained to him how the household was run. The Prince then went to confront the Queen to find Lehzen leaving her office.

After an argument with the Queen, the Prince stormed off, causing the Queen to follow him, shouting, into another room. Lehzen did nothing but smile at this.
