Description

A century after Queen Victoria's death, debate still surrounds her relationship with John Brown, her Highland servant. This biography sheds new light on these questions and uncovers the truth behind Brown's extraordinary hold on his royal employer. Following Prince Albert's death in 1861, the Queen found solace in Brown's companionship, which led to him becoming "The Queen's Highland Servant" in 1865. Despite warnings of his unpopularity with her subjects, the Queen was adamant that Brown would not be sacked. In fact, she submitted to his organization of her domestic life and trusted him implicitly after he saved her from an assassination attempt. Based on research in public, private, and royal archives, as well as diaries and memoirs of those who knew Brown and interviews with his surviving relatives, this text analyzes the relationship between Queen Victoria and John Brown.
