The Law & Order: UK star plays Queen Adelaide in the period movie, which documents the budding romance between Queen Victoria (Emily Blunt) and Prince Albert (Rupert Friend).
Speaking to DS, she said: "It's going to be so romantic. I fell in love. I wished I'd been 20 years younger and Rupert Friend was a possibility!"
Discussing the monarch's relationship, she said: "It's very earnest, full of young love and beauty, but it also has a sincere meeting of minds.
"It was just a wonderful coincidence that it was an arranged marriage, but one they fell into with 100% passion."
The Young Victoria will be released in the UK on March 6.
