The first series of Victoria, which followed the early years of Queen Victoria’s reign after she acceded to the throne at the age of 18, proved to be a huge ratings hit – drawing over 16 million viewers in the US, putting it second only to Downton Abbey as the highest rated drama on PBS in the last 20 years. So, what better time to take a tour to the UK to follow in the Queen's footsteps?
