There was some doubt that Jenna Coleman was going to do another series I wonder if we will see a Season 4?
Victoria writer is already working on season 4 and hints at major death.

 I was thinking the same thing. Victoria's mother was prominent in the earlier series though in this series we are yet to see her portrayal. We're meant to be in the early 1850s now so Victoria's mother would still be alive, as she died in 1861.

I still find it interesting that ITV chose to turn Princess Feodora's character around completely as we know that she and Queen Victoria were actually very close in real life and Princess Louise even had Feodore as one of her middle names after her aunt. I guess they needed to add more spice for viewers, though!

Yes that was puzzling along with the totally fictional Duke and Duchess of Monmouth and absence of the principal characters of Victoria's mother,Alberts brother and the duchess of Buccleuch from series 3 and no mention of them either.

Indeed - I guess this period wasn't interesting enough for ITV hence the inclusion of the fictional Duchess of Monmouth and her husband. I was reading an article which stated that the Duchess's character is loosely based on that of Caroline Norton, who campaigned to introduce the first child custody and female property acts in the early Victorian period (she was rumoured to have had an affair with Lord Melbourne and Caroline's then former husband took Melbourne to court).

We've just had the Great Exhibition, so it's 1851. It's very weird how they've completely missed out Victoria's mother, especially as they've made up this story about Feodora turning up in London. The portrayal of the Chartists was inaccurate as well, and Lord Palmerston's years younger than he actually was!
