Description
The stage was already set for the astonishing reign of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
After the discovery of previously unfound letters and journals in Germany, Hector Bolitho here continues his series of royal biographies to expand on and re-frame the extraordinary lives of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Bolitho expertly navigates the unparalleled rule of Queen Victoria and her Prince Consort in this authentic and intimate portrait of their lives. From her incredible accession to the throne, through her romance with Albert, and to her lengthy rule as monarch, Bolitho paints a rich and full portrait of Victoria – as queen, mother, wife, and widow.
Perfect for fans of ITV’s Victoria, discover the truth behind one of history’s greatest romances and learn how the pair shaped not only the British Empire but the world.
The Reign of Queen Victoria was first published in 1948.

This book is fascinating! Hector Bolitho has referenced this with such detail using letters and records from various sources including Victoria's letters and the archives at Windsor.
Such an insight in to the reign of Queen Victoria and Prince Consort Albert.
The book follows her life from a child, her accession to the throne, her marriage, birth of all of her children, the unfortunate death of Albert and how she continued as a monarch following this right up until her death at age 81.
The reader gains insight in to how Victoria felt about her Government and her dedication to her country through constant work. It's also very interesting to learn her thoughts about her children and grandchildren provided in her own words from the sources noted above.
Every quote throughout the book is referenced and now I want to read all the correspondence myself!
I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys history and even those who like the tv show Victoria!
I hope to read Albert: Prince Consort by Hector Bolitho very soon!
