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