The Young Victoria (2009)

I found out that I have no idea of British history. At least there's a good Albert in this story. (But come to think of it, there aren't many Albert villians in stories/movies.) He doesn't become king though, he's just a prince and queen's consort.

The weird thing I found out after some Wikipedia research is that much of British royalty is actually German. Sort of weird that later the countries fought two world wars against each other. Of course, the British monarchy already didn't have much power by the time of Victoria, and the German monarch abdicated in 1918.

The old King William before he dies has a bunch of hilarious moments in the film.
