Few British monarchs have fit the time, the tone or the energy of an era quite the way Queen Victoria mastered her reign.

From her ascension to the throne in 1837 to her death in 1901, her monarchy was one of spectacular advances in the British Empire. Political, scientific, and industrial wonders were changing the world. Britain's influence reached all corners of the earth.

But there was one area that particularly intrigued the Queen. Men.

Keenly aware of the opposite sex, her most trusted advisors were men. Lord Melbourne, her first prime minister, was an avuncular presence. Then her beloved husband Prince Albert took the reins until his death in 1861.

In a widowhood of forty years, her ministers were a varied lot. She adored Disraeli, disliked Gladstone, and found genuine friendship with Lord Salisbury. Then there was Mr. Brown, the Scottish ghillie who she found wonderfully attractive. Later there was Abdul Karim, the Munshi, or teacher with whom she had a motherly relationship. She adored her son-in-law, Prince Henry of Battenberg, the 'sunshine of their lives' and was devastated when he died. She also loved her grandson-in-law, Prince Louis Battenberg, who was one of the executors of her will.

Those years without Albert were not barren loveless years, they were not without happiness and pleasure, even if the queen herself might protest.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOT the Widow of Windsor!

I enjoyed this book because I didn't know a lot about Queen Victoria and this was a great introduction. With genealogy charts, dramatis personae and clear explanations of relationships, I was able to truly understand that part of the queen's life. The cliche of the widow of Windsor isn't quite true. Highly recommend, again as an intro into her world.

I highly recommend this book to collectors and to people who are curious about Queen Victoria’s relationship with her children and grandchildren. Very easy reading to the point one just doesn’t want to put it down. Pictures and genealogy charts to help the reader distinguish between the different Victoria’s, Alice’s, Albert’s, Marie’s, Alexandra’s, Louise’s and Leopold, just to name a few of the names!

5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2023
Four the forty years after the death of her beloved Prince Albert, Queen Victoria led a reclusive life of widowhood. Or did she? This book reveals her relationship with her children and grandchildren, with her prime ministers, and with her favorites of the court. The book is intriguing, thorough, and easy to read.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
