INT. OSBORNE HOUSE, CORRIDOR AND QUEEN'S DINING ROOM - DAY
VICTORIA reaches the dining room door and takes a deep
breath. LADY ELY and LADY CHURCHILL stop a pace behind.
VICTORIA:
How many?
LADY ELY is slightly taken aback.
LADY ELY:
The Royal Family and senior members of
the household, ma'am.
VICTORIA:
Just them?
LADY ELY:
Yes, ma'am.
VICTORIA closes her eyes, then steels herself and steps
through the door.
INT. OSBORNE HOUSE, QUEEN'S DINING ROOM - DAY
Everyone stiffens as VICTORIA walks in. Acknowledging the
other diners with a quick nod, the Queen takes her place.
She flaps open her napkin and, bang on cue, everyone else
sits and does the same. The meal is served immediately by
waiting SERVANTS, who plonk the food down without ceremony.
It's a very ordinary meal of meat and vegetables. VICTORIA
starts eating heartily, straight away. Everyone does the
same.
Only the clink of cutlery and the same eerie silence.
EXT. OSBORNE HOUSE, THE GROUNDS - DAY
The Royal horse-carrier rattles into the grounds and on
down the driveway past the beautiful, manicured lawns
stretching away towards the ornate twin towers of Osborne
House. A few outdoor servants watch its progress
curiously.

The silence continues as VICTORIA finishes her plain
pudding. Immediately, servants appear at every place and
whip away the pudding bowls whether their owners have
finished or not. Nobody thinks this odd; it is part of the
routine. DOCTOR JENNER clears his throat.
JENNER:
We're expecting Brown this afternoon,
ma'am.
VICTORIA:
Whom?
A beat. VICTORIA takes a sip of water, dabs her mouth with
her napkin and rises. Everyone else rises too. Suddenly,
the Queen turns to Bertie's nervous wife, PRINCESS
ALEXANDRA, and proclaims abruptly:
VICTORIA (CONT'D)
That's a very pretty shawl you are
wearing, Alex. Silk suits you well.
(beat)
But you are not eating enough. One
must not let vanity overrule one's
appetite.
PRINCESS ALEXANDRA
Yes, ma'am.
VICTORIA nods earnestly. Lost to the effect her words have
had, she marches out again. Behind her, she leaves
PRINCESS ALEXANDRA feeling humiliated and crestfallen in
front of all the others. BERTIE takes her hand and
squeezes tight, trying awkwardly to console.
The horse-carrier pulls up outside the servant's entrance
and the DRIVER opens the doors.
JOHN BROWN pulls out a watch from his waistcoat and checks
the time. His eyes narrow critically.
BROWN:
I was due at a quarter past one.
(beat)
You're late.
INT. OSBORNE HOUSE, CORRIDOR - DAY
A few minutes later, JOHN BROWN strides down the long
corridor with PONSONBY at his side. Their journey takes
them down an endless series of corridors, past servants and
householders hurrying about their duties. The presence of
