The story

Princess Alexandrina Victoria of Kent, the heiress presumptive to the British throne during the reign of her paternal uncle, King William IV, is subject to a political tug of war for influence over her. On one side is her mother, Victoria, Duchess of Kent, and the comptroller of the Duchess's household, Sir John Conroy, who oppressively bring her up under the Kensington system. When it becomes clear that Victoria will become Queen, they try to force her to sign papers declaring a regency if she ascends the throne before coming of age, the provision remaining in effect until she is twenty-five years old.
