The Best Plays radio adaptation of Victoria Regina aired in 1952 and was based on Laurence Housman’s 1934 play about Queen Victoria. The drama follows Victoria’s life from her ascension to the throne at age 18 to her later years as Britain’s longest-reigning monarch at the time.

The play explores her relationship with Prince Albert, her struggles as a young queen, and the political challenges she faced. It also highlights her personal growth, her deep love for Albert, and the impact of his death on her reign.
