OUT AND ABOUT

VICTORIA & ABDUL

Brilliant! Judi Dench plays an ageing Queen Victoria, who forms an unexpected friendship with Abdul Karim – an Indian sent to England to present his Empress with a gift. Eddie Izzard is hilarious as her son, Bertie, who is as horrified by the relationship as the royal household. The spectacular costumes are being exhibited at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight.
