Description

Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, died in December 1861, leaving the nation in shock. His passing was a devastating blow to Victoria, who had relied heavily on him throughout their 21-year marriage. Without Albert by her side, Victoria retreated into a state of intense grief that few could understand. Drawing on contemporary letters, diaries and memoirs, Helen Rappaport sheds new light on the circumstances surrounding Albert's death. She also explores how Victoria sought to commemorate her husband in lasting memory, revealing a story of enduring devotion and obsession. This book offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in British history, one that continues to fascinate readers today.
