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)

After watching the sixth episode, I returned to a four-star rating because I was very pleased that the creators stopped focusing on the Red Library and returned to significant matters. I was so happy that I didn't lower my rating even for the anti-slavery conference, which became the most important event of this episode, and yet I couldn't find any mention of it anywhere. Well yeah, it's probably a challenge when you're filming a Victorian period series and you want to put a black person in front of the camera...
