*Warning: This episode contains spoilers for Episode Two of Season Three of *Victoria.
Among the many fictional Buckingham Palace servants and staffers on MASTERPIECE's Victoria, Ferdinand Kingsley's Charles Elmé Francatelli is based on an actual royal chef and author. Kingsley's cook is a slight bit younger — and a bit more of a rogue — than the actual Francatelli, but he's convinced his on-screen romantic pursuits are setting the character straight. Kingsley explains here — and *Victoria *creator, head writer and executive producer Daisy Goodwin returns for another round of historical fact or fiction.
