Description:
It was the most influential marriage of the nineteenth ì century-and one of history' s most enduring love stories. ì Traditional biographies tell us that Queen Victoria inherited the ì throne as a naïve teenager, when the British Empire was at the ì height of its power, and seemed doomed to find failure as a ì monarch and misery as a woman until she married her German cousin ì Albert and accepted him as her lord and master. Now renowned ì chronicler Gillian Gill turns this familiar story on its head, ì revealing a strong, feisty queen and a brilliant, fragile prince ì working together to build a family based on support, trust, and ì fidelity, qualities neither had seen much of as children. The ì love affair that emerges is far more captivating, complex, and ì relevant than that depicted in any previous account.
