    About this audiobook

    The second tie-in to ITV drama Victoria unveils the complex, passionate relationship of Victoria and Albert.

    What happened after the Queen married her handsome prince? Did they live happily ever after, or did their marriage, like so many royal marriages past and present fizzle into a loveless bond of duty? Victoria and Albert were the royal couple that broke the mould – it may have been an arranged match, yet their union was a passionate, tempestuous relationship between two extremely strong-willed individuals. Despite the fact that they were first cousins they could not have been more different people – she was impulsive, emotional, capricious, while he was cautious, self-controlled, and logical. But together they became the most successful royal couple there had ever been, and this book reveals the private and the public face of Victoria and Albert’s marriage. Using their letters and diaries, Victoria and Albert charts the constant ebb and flow of power between the couple, and presents a picture of a very modern marriage.

    This companion book, full of rich historical detail, takes fans deeper into that period than ever before. Discover the inner workings behind the scenes, with profiles of all the major characters, interviews with the actors and fascinating, in-depth information on the production, the costumes and the props.

      A lovely historical companion to the PBS show Victoria and Albert. This book covers the historical events of Victoria's reign with special attention paid to her relationship with her husband. The prose is lively and entertaining and the book is fairly brief which makes it easy to digest. It also has interludes with essays about the making of the television show including writing, costuming and even special effects. I haven't seen the show myself, but I found the history very interesting and definitely want to watch the show now.
