"King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra had six children. Of the five who reached maturity, only one - the future King George V - that most con. servatively-minded of men whose reign spanned the Great War, the first British Labour government and the advent of sound broadcasting - has received much attention from biographers. The eldest, Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence, was a chronically ba. c k ward youth whose early death was a tragedy for the family but fortunate for the monarchy. The three princesses, sometimes unkindly known as 'their royal shyness' - Louise, Princess Royal and Duchess of Fife, the lifelong spinster Victoria, and . Ma ud , Queen of Norway - were never well-known to the British public during their lifetime, but new light shed upon their lives reveals the part they played (in Britian and Norway) in supporting the royal family and crown during a period of transit. ion from the Victorian age to the uncertain twentieth century. John Van der Kiste's account draws on previously-unpublished correspondence from the Royal Archives, Windsor and illustrations to reveal new insights into the lives and achievements of. thi s hitherto much-neglected group of characters from the annals of British royalty." Light wrinkling at top of spine. Dust jacket has light wrinkling - mainly at top of spine. Near Fine/Very Good+.
