A&E's "Victoria and Albert" 2 of 2 Quiz

Answer: Edward Oxford

The scene opens with Edward Oxford smearing what I guess to be red paint all over a photo of the Queen in the Gazette. On the route from the palace to the Duchess of Kent's home, Oxford fired his first shot from a closed carriage. A horseman was wounded although no blood was seen. Albert ordered the way cleared and to drive on.

The next thing that happens is Oxford is literally inches away from the Queen. Albert shoves her aside to save her and slaps Oxford with his whip/stick.
