Book Details
Table of Contents
Prologue
The families of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
Part one : Destiny 1806-1840.
This paradise of our childhood
To sacrifice mere pleasure to real usefulness
Part two : Frustration 1840-1842.
Only the husband, not the master
Everything I do is for the queen
Let us be better, and everything will be better
Part three : Apprenticeship 1842-1851.
The first link has been forged
To me, Prince Albert is king
I wish that he should be equal in rank to me
There is no turning back the clock
Prince Albert has the right ideas
Like a series of dissolving views
The drop which made the cup overflow
Part four : Fulfilment 1851-1861.
A monarchy that was a myth has become a reality
The duke had to be content
Deaf to the calls of honour and duty
Killed by their own people
Friendship cannot go much higher
To fit a gentleman with a gentleman's education
A future disappearing into the past
It is the government, and not the Commons, who hold back
Sentimentality is a plant that cannot grow in England
He is king in all but name
Like the hawk, I must not sleep, but be for ever on the watch
Everything but health
Epilogue
Appendix 1 : The bedchamber question
Appendix 2 : Did Albert die of typhoid?
Governments 1835-1865 and some of their leading members
