Young Queen Victoria Waltzes with Prince Albert (3 of 3).mov

In this final excerpt from "The Young Victoria," the queen, played beautifully by Emily Blunt, picks her handsome suitor Belgium Prince Albert as her first waltz partner at her Coronation Ball to what probably is a Johann Strauss the Elder waltz. This to me is the most perfect waltz scene in a movie with little doubt that here the queen falls in love with her prince. Not long after, they marry and have nine children, suggesting at least Victoria was not so prime and rigid as portrayed in her later years. Albert died at age 42. Available as DVD and streaming on Netflix.

Beautiful movie .... a lovely couple and this waltz danced beautifully, The English are great for recreating these films.

[@googlyeyedcat]

Margielaw the PBS series about Queen Victoria and Prince Albert is really good, also. Just waiting for the 2nd season to begin.

[@martinbarford4071]

[@kaddyd1815]

Margielaw ...it was a great movie, but not very historically accurate.....the whole carriage ride/ Albert getting shot scene never happened.....although there were a number of attempts on Victoria’s life, nothing like that scene occurred...and I love that scene! It was so moving....they did argue over her reluctance to allow him any real responsibilities and somehow they did work through it, but not in the way portrayed in this film....still, loved the movie!

[@Pre114]

For anyone who might be wondering, the waltz is "Benedette queste carte!" from the opera "L'elisir d'amore" by Donizetti.

[@richiemax1]

Pre114 Thank you! Superb! The sountrack movie's musician Ilan Eshkeri won't give the correct credits, and for a moment i think its own inspiration.

[@Pre114]

Yeah you are totally right, memorable soundtracks in this movie are all arrangements of well-known pieces from the 1830s-40s. The movie composer took credit for what he shouldn't have.

[@hayleymccarthy1894]

is there I can find it without the singing I can't find it anywhere and I just want the music!!!

Thank you!! This is a lovely waltz, beautiful scene! The movie too!

[@deborahkelly1489]

This part when they're dancing is magical :3

The part where all her family looks at each other knowing quite well that Albert was the one was spot on acting so great

[@angelicag2042]

Queen Victoria ascended the throne at age 18 and ruled for 64 years while Queen Elizabeth II was crowned just shy of her 26th birthday and continues to be monarch for the last 67 years....and still counting. Both beautiful, elegant, and admirable women.

[@sakkunthalaelil660]

Period films :) Yes, I agreee

[@kernowoggie]

Heart stopping magical dancing with Prince Albert to a haunting piece of music. A lovely film and one to watch again and again and one which captures the Queen when she was still very young & rather vulnerable making her a much more attractive and romantic figure. So often we think of her as a stout, elderly woman but that's only a small part of her. At the time she became Queen she was very young (only 18) & we have never had such a young Monarch at any time since the early years of her reign.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

I agree - too often when people think of Victoria they think of a fat elderly dour-faced woman with a hanky on her head, forgetting that she wasn't always like that. If you look at portraits of her as a young girl she was actually quite pretty, and was a graceful dancer and an accomplished horsewoman.

[@reuben7090]

Even though she attained monarchy at a relatively young age, she was able to take the empire to enormously great heights. she is one of the greatest monarchs in British history and her memorial still stands high at promenade of the Buckingham palace which she lovingly nurtured.

[@davidrosenberg4014]

I love ballroom dancing. I watch the old style waltz steps in videos like this. I get asked all the time where I took lessons. Modern variations remove much of the beauty of the waltz. The real beauty comes from smooth gliding and altering between face to face dancing and side-by-side. Steps that cater to the woman's beauty allowing others to see her grace and charm. The dance should ooze with grace and charm.

Ok I'm surprised no one else picked this up -- Albert was NOT from Belgium -- he was from a German principality.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

I picked it up too - he was from Saxe-Coburg

[@gidzmobug2323]

ChooseYour Poison Yes--he was the younger son of one duke and brother of his successor. Victoria and Albert's second son, Alfred, would succeed Albert's brother as Reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.

[@BOB1974_]

He didn't say he was going home TO Brussels, he said he was going home VIA Brussels which means he was going to Brussels first, then go home, you fucking dumbass.

[@sheilaghbrosky]

Albert said he was going to visit uncle leopold who was king of the belgians.

[@slcRN1971]

@@sheilaghbrosky His Uncle Leopold would have been Princess Charlotte’s consort/husband had she (& child) not died due to childbirth complications. Her death was even more tragic because of the fact that that she had been a very healthy young woman, until the horrid medical attention that she had received after becoming pregnant.

Wow this makes me smile I live how you could see the love in their eyes :-P

[@San47di]

+Amber Earls I'm sure initially Lord Melbourne was concerned in reference to losing the 'control' he held over Victoria after she married; however, he grew to truly admire Prince Albert. He certainly "respected" him after Albert put him in his proper place to let him know that he [Albert] was No pushover, gullible, nor would he entertain manipulations or fall for any deceptions [unlike his wife Victoria].

[@Addy2023X]

Queen Victoria also known as ( Alexandrina Victoria ) came to the throne on the 20th of June 1837 after the death of her uncle King William IV. She reigned for 63 years and seven months , 1837-1901 almost 64 years.

And the real queen Victoria was chubby and shorter than prince Albert's shoulders. But their love was a jewel. The actors in the movie are so good!

[@MSjackiesaunders]

She wasn't chubby when she was 18! That didn't happen until she had NINE children with Albert!

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

Victoria was actually pretty slender as a teen and early twenties. She didn't start to put on weight until after she had her first four babies in such rapid succession, and she only started to really pile it on after Albert died, due to her comfort eating.

The walzer comes from the Donizetti's opera buffa "L'elisire d'amore" (the original aria is known as "Della crudele Isotta")

[@jeanhunter4310]

Prince Albert wasn't Belgium: Albert Francis Charles Augustus Emmanuel of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was born on August 26, 1819, at Schloss Rosenau, in Bavaria.

[@MSjackiesaunders]

Yes, yes we know. He and Victoria even had the same midwife. The line that everyone is mis-hearing is that he is leaving on Friday to report to Leopold on the Coronation, then home to Saxe-Coberg. No one says he is Beglian.

A moving platform or reducing the background digitally

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

Karma-rose Lai ok

[@MSjackiesaunders]

According to a "behind the scenes" interview, Emily was standing on a wheeled platform. It took a number of takes to get the speed correct to make it seem like she was floating. One take was too fast and Emily nearly fell off!

[@reuben7090]

Which song it it!? indeed marvellous

[@nadinecrupi5481]

How did they bathe in those days??? What an era...wow

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

They would bathe with a ewer and basin. You strip off, stand on a towel, wet a washcloth in the basin and soap up. Then you wipe off the suds with a washcloth dipped in clean water.

[@MSjackiesaunders]

​​@@chooseyourpoison5105 Or you could bathe in a hip bath, which is only different in that you stood in the hipbath and had clean water poured over you. There were bath "tubs" in the time period but they weren't common. In that case, the tub (much like the one Victoria is bathing Dash in but larger) was put in front of the fireplace and half-filled with warm water. After soaping down, you stood and were sluiced down with more lukewarm water. That is why you didn't bathe often! It was cold, needed servants and was very inconvenient!

r cwieka The Laendler waltz is very graceful.

[@MSjackiesaunders]

​@@mscott3918 But this isn't the Laendler waltz. It is the formal court version of the waltz. There are more arm movements and individual steps on the Laendler. I've danced both as a child growing up in Germany. I learned the waltz in Vienna, and the Laendler in Bavaria.

[@gidzmobug2323]

Was there a set period that other couples had to wait before they could be on the same dance floor with the Royal couple?

Well, Victoria herself was absolutely tiny - four foot ten - and it would be hard to find an actress of that stature today

[@MSjackiesaunders]

Yes, she is. Rupert (Albert) wore lifts in his shoes to balance things out a bit. On the other hand, Emily Blunt was very like the young Victoria. Same hair color, same basic facial structure. Amanda Root who played Victoria in an earlier TV series had aged out by the time the movie was made. Not very many talented actresses in the true height range of Victoria!
