Description

Beatrice Mary Victoria Feodore, the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, was born in 1866 and lived a life marked by her close relationship with her mother. Following her mother's extended period of mourning for her husband, Beatrice became an increasingly important figure in the royal family, eventually marrying Prince Henry of Battenberg in 1885. Despite initial opposition from her mother, Beatrice remained Queen Victoria's favourite among her five daughters and became her constant companion, later serving as her literary executor. After Queen Victoria's death in 1901, Beatrice devoted herself to editing her mother's journals and correspondence, ensuring her legacy was preserved. Matthew Dennison's biography restores Beatrice to her rightful place in history, offering a touching and revealing portrait of her life and family. This biography sheds new light on the life of Queen Victoria's youngest daughter, revealing the complexities of her relationship with her mother and the ways in which she navigated the challenges of royal life.
