Why did Baronin Lehzen leave?


Princess Vickie was sick. Victoria and Albert had an awful fight. Next thing Victoria is dismissing Baronin Lehzen. Why?

And where would she go having spent years with Victoria?

Well, sorta. I still don't understand why she was dismissed at that particular time.

Albert was furious over the medicine episode and I suppose he put his foot down. Victoria was trying to be more understanding and accommodating of Albert and perhaps she realized that Lehzen would never change in her dislike of Albert.

That makes sense. Might as well eliminate the conflict rather than deal with the tension. Sad though.
