Why Queen Victoria Adored The Lavish Burghley House | Royal Upstairs Downstairs

Victoria and Albert were guests at the stunning Burghley House, Lincolnshire, in 1844. Victoria had been here before when she was 18, and wrote in her diary, 'I remembered its beautiful exterior and splendid situation but was even more struck when I arrived this time.' In 1844, the pair came to Burghley for a christening where Albert was the godfather and, for once, the centre of attention - although the baby was still called Victoria. As Tim discovers, the christening didn't quite go to plan.
