You know why: Rufus Sewell – the man behind Lord Melbourne, the young sovereign's Prime Minister and personal advisor – hasn’t been in it.

Oh, how we’ve lacked his gentleness and his close, perhaps too close, relationship with the young queen over the past couple of episodes. And we’re (somehow) missing him even more after Jenna Coleman shared this behind-the-scenes shot from the show.
