Victoria's writer Daisy Goodwin said that the drama was inspired by real
events, "whether they are assassination attempts, the repeal of the Corn Laws, or the terrible potato famine. All the big building blocks of the series are true."

Production

The story lines are a blending of history, historical inaccuracies, and characters invented for dramatic purposes. In some cases, the historical figures are indistinguishable from invented characters in all but name, with the traits, actions, and experiences having little to do with the real lives of those supposedly portrayed.

For example, Dame Diana Rigg was cast to play an elderly and curmudgeonly Duchess of Buccleuch even though the real woman was in her 30s when at court, and older sister Feodora is made into a spiteful schemer living for an extended period of some years with Victoria and Albert, though letters reveal the sisters seemingly had an affectionate bond that made them faithful correspondents across years and distance, with visits relatively rare.

To say that they are beautiful in the series is not to
say anything. They are gorgeous-from the queen's ball gowns, to the costumes of extras in mass scenes.

In addition, the costumes are very accurate historically – even the queen's wedding dress. She was the first to introduce the fashion for white wedding dresses, abandoning brocade and gold in favor of lace and flowers.
