Episode synopsis
Bertie, the Prince of Wales, has gone to great lengths to impress Lillie–even building her a country house in Bournemouth. When Austria's Crown Prince Rudolf pays an official visit to London, Lillie becomes the focus of his impetuous nature. His behaviour doesn't sit will with Lillie or Bertie, and Rudolf is unceremoniously banished from the country. A short time later, after a cold public reception from Queen Victoria, Lillie retreats to her country home with Arthur. While her love for him grows, she cannot bear to leave the royal spotlight for Jersey's provincial obscurity.

Lillie's liaison with the heir to the throne marked only the beginning of a remarkable, scandalous and daring series of adventures in open defiance of accepted morality imposed by Victorian and Edwardian society.
