"Victoria and Albert have been destined for each other since birth. However, the passive Albert is well aware that marriage to a quick-tempered, demonstrative young woman like Victoria could result in unnecessary scenes and stormy court feuds. He is right. The young queen, as well as having to endure her constant pregnancies, is in constant revolt against anyone encroaching on her position - and Albert is doing just that. Despite attempts on her life and political crises, her family remains her prime concern, but who really holds the power behind the throne - the queen or her husband?"--Publisher comments.

Work Description
From the time they were in their cradles, Victoria and Albert were destined for each other. However, the passive Albert is well aware that marriage to a quick-tempered, demonstrative young woman like Victoria could result in unnecessary scenes and stormy court feuds. And he is right. The young Queen, as well has having to endure her constant pregnancies, is in perpetual revolt against any encroachment on her position - and Albert is doing just that. Despite attempts on her life and crises like the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny, her family - Albert and their nine children - is her prime concern. The Victorian age is truly under way - but the real power behind the throne was the queen's husband.
