Tension grows between Victoria and Albert soon after their marriage, once Albert realizes his diminished role in Victoria’s monarchy. Victoria holds daily meetings with her ministers, but Albert is kept out of the room and out of the red boxes. This changes, however, when Victoria becomes pregnant, and her role as a mother interferes with her administrative work and Albert is able to support her.
