All the principles have left London. Initially it was for safety's sake. Palmerston is invited there by the Queen, mainly to make him uncomfortable. He is a womanizer and this leads to some problems. But he is not alone in duplicity. The Queen's sister is a master and she is working her position to her advantage The pretty young duchess is doing her own thing. She is starved for affection and sex, hating her domineering husband. Finally, Victoria and Albert are in a power struggle. It primarily relates to his efforts to get Bertie (the next king) to be more
than a silly child. The boy is not interested in his studies and only wants to play. We are also made aware that his eyesight is poor. Good insights into the people rather than any dramatic events.

Warning: Spoilers
Even as an American I know about the struggles that Albert and Victoria had, but at this point in the show we've already seen too much of it. Give us something different, although the other stories in the episode tonight weren't that great either.
