To me, ma’am, you are every inch a Queen.” COMPETITION I have not known you long, but I observe in you a natural dignity that cannot be learnt. “They think I am still a little girl who is not capable of being a Queen.” Lord Melbourne turned to look at Victoria.
We are, on top of all that, offered a realistic insight into the growing love between the Queen and her Prime Minister, and when her cousin Albert of Denmark is thrown at her to be her husband you turn every page hoping that the Queen has the happy ending you feel yourself vouching for throughout. The intricate and cunning plot to integrate German royalty with the British, the scene of potential revolt against the Queen of England as the public began to turn against their monarchy, and the demise of the manipulative Sir Thomas Conroy are illustrated with such clarity that the narrative pulls you into the plot of the Queen’s complicated reign as though you’re in the book itself.
In the book Victoria, Daisy Goodwin has beautifully captured the English day in 1837 when an 18 year old Alexandrina transforms from being a secluded puppet, controlled by her mother and Sir Thomas Conroy within the four walls of her nursery, into a woman who arguably became England’s greatest Queen. This month, it’s Victoria by Daisy Goodwin.
