Book summary

A biography of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, who married Queen Victoria in 1840. A man of considerable ability and intelligence, Prince Albert was denied a formal role in the government of England but, as Prince Consort, exercised great influence on Queen Victoria's policies.

Media reviews

"...[A] highly sympathetic account....Well-written and seemingly effortlessly so in spite of the considerable research which underpins it, this book is particularly engaging in that it is set to epater les bourgeois and show that the Prince's character and conduct confounded his contemporaries and is likely to astonish still."
