Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes are set to return as the young royal couple, while we\'re also getting some new additions to the cast in the shape of Laurence Fox and Kate Fleetwood.

Announcing the news on Victoria Day, the anniversary of Queen Victoria\'s birthday, ITV has also confirmed that

star Fox will play "charismatic and wayward" Foreign Secretary Lord Palmerston.

Meanwhile, Tony and Olivier Award nominee Fleetwood will play Victoria\'s "mysterious" sister Feodora, who unexpectedly comes back into the Queen\'s life.

There will also be several more additions to the cast, with actor and comedian John Sessions set to play Prime Minister John Russell.

star Lily Travers will play the Duchess of Monmouth, while Nicholas Audsley,

\'s Emily Forbes have also been cast in roles.

The new series will take us to 1848, which was a turbulent time for Europe and the monarchy and saw Victoria come under pressure from the government to leave London for her own safety.

Victoria\'s Daisy Goodwin: "The show could run and run"

The show\'s creator and producer Daisy Goodwin explained that the royal couple will face some serious difficulties in this series.

"Victoria and Albert are the most famous couple of the nineteenth century, but underneath the united facade, their relationship is at breaking point and it is a struggle for mastery that neither side can win," she said.

There\'s no word yet on when the new series will air, but it\'s likely to begin in the autumn if previous series are anything to go by.

Considering the country has caught royal fever this week, what with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrating their much-anticipated wedding, we bet a lot of people are very excited about this news.
