Naturally, she must marry someone else immediately. "The prince would never seek to compromise a single lady," explains the royal equerry. Louisa rails at this "conspeyeracy" but bows to sovereign fate and marries Mr. Trotter, the butler (played by Donald Burton with just the right hint of smarminess). The prince sets them up in a London house designed for discreet visits. In quick succession, Victoria dies, the new King finds that...
