With no real role in the household, Albert feels worthless and matters are made worse when the Duke of Sussex refuses to let him take precedence at dinner. Whilst a dejected Albert hopes that an heir might garner more respect, Victoria is determined to outmanoeuvre Sussex and give Albert the esteem he deserves. Below stairs, the servants gossip over when to expect the first Royal baby and Skerrett faces a dilemma when the only person who can save her cousin and small child from imminent death is the person she trusts the least – Francatelli. Albert has his own ideas about how to make himself valuable - he decides to open the anti-slavery convention and nervously prepares his speech. (Independent Television)

I'm back to a four-star rating. I was really glad to see the creators shift their focus away from romance and back to more significant stuff. I mean, the anti-slavery conference was a big deal in this episode, and yet it seems like there's no mention of it anywhere else. I get it, filming a Victorian period piece and trying to include people of color probably presents some challenges...
