"Victoria" PBS Season 1 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Lady Flora Hastings

Queen Victoria willingly believed the rumors that not only was Lady Flora Hastings pregnant but with Sir John Conroy. To fan the rumors it was said that Lady Flora and Sir John shared a carriage ride together. As Queen Victoria did nothing to prove the rumors false as she hated both Lady Flora and Sir John with a passion it created a scandal. During the coronation Lady Flora was forced to endure an examination which proved she wasn't pregnant but the growth on her abdomen was a tumor which proved fatal.

Answer: Gas

Chef Francatelli was at his wits end with the dust and noise from Baroness Lehzen's orders to install the gas. Francatelli was trying to create the Queen's birthday cake and all the fuss for the installation was causing problems. Mr. Penge noticed the installation was disturbing the rats but decided to do nothing about it as he didn't like Baroness Lehzen. Plus Mr. Penge would sell candles practically each day receiving a kickback.

Installation of the gas would end his side business.
