QUEEN VICTORIA: SECRET MARRIAGE, SECRET CHILD?

Criminal barrister and TV Personality Rob Rinder and British Historian Dr Fern Riddell go on a journey across the country to uncover the truth behind the rumour of a romance between the widowed monarch and Scottish commoner. 

Based on research undertaken for her forthcoming book, the programme sees Fern unearth groundbreaking evidence that will transform the long-established historical view of Victoria after the death of Prince Albert, from grieving widow to a woman in passionate midlife. Rob will cast a sceptical eye over the evidence as the revelations continue to grow.
