"Victoria" season 3 is expected to air in 2018, and fans are already looking forward to the drama between Queen Victoria (Jenna Coleman) and her husband Albert (Tom Hughes). The upcoming season will be dealing with the sexual life of Victoria and her pregnancies.

Writer Daisy Goodwin revealed that the next season of the series will explore the tensions in the bedroom between the couple. Goodwin said that the Queen avoids getting intimate with Albert to prevent getting pregnant. The Queen feels that every time she becomes intimate with her husband, she gets pregnant.

Goodwin said that Victoria had six children in eight years. However, it appears that there are some gaps, which may manifest that the pair withholds intimacy for some time. Based on a letter from Albert, Victoria goes mad every time she is pregnant. It suggests that she is not in her right mind and that she might have inherited her insanity.

Victoria loves Albert, and she also likes going to bed with him. But she does not like getting pregnant all the time. When she is pregnant, Albert takes over her work and she feels displaced that way. She feels uncomfortable being pregnant and she even resents having a baby immediately after marriage.

The Queen wanted to enjoy her marriage with Albert first. However, she was not able to do that because she got pregnant at once. There is also a possibility that Victoria and Albert had pre-marital sex based on the gap between their marriage and the age of their eldest child.

"Victoria" season 3 will return in 2018 on ITV. It will start in 1848, which is an eventful year for the royal family and for Europe. Actors Coleman and Hughes will reprise their roles. There are also talks that "Game of Throne" actress Diana Rigg will return as The Duchess of Buccleuch, the Queen's Mistress of The Robes.
