...Duchess and her "adviser" (in both boudoir and boardroom), the glowering Sir John Conroy (Mark Strong), try to strong-arm Victoria into signing over her power to her mother, just in case King William dies before she turns 18. We want her to be Queen so she can finally say, "Off with his head." Conroy is the film's only outright villain, but he's not really much source of tension: once she's Queen, she's the boss.

Ports 1961's first New York City store, designed by architect Michael Gabellini, was conceived as a private boudoir. And scattered among designer Tia Cibani's downtown clothes and accessories are objects from the global treks that inspire her collections: art books and intricate wooden sculptures from Germany.
