'They were the most privileged couple of their age, the most famous of lovers and the best of friends.' Seems like it very well done if this book is anything to go by. This book does inspire me to watch the next season of this series. So much research, but unlike many women of the past that left few clues to their lives, many of Victoria's letters remain. Loved the inside and personal aspects of Victoria's character. A love story for the ages, so rare among royals of the past.

Interesting how they adapt so much for their shows, and how and with what they replace the things they cannot. Many of those playing the parts in the series, but also those of the real royals. Their clothes, food, servants, residences, so much is covered, and often would also show how things were in London as a whole.Īll accompanied by gorgeous, full color pictures, simply beautiful. The children, how she felt about her constant pregnancies, the role they each played in child rearing. The final part would reflect how this was portrayed in the series. A topic would be covered, such as the relationship between Victoria and Albert, from there it would relate some facts about their lives, then go on to show how they were perceived by the nation. I do, however, have a keen interest in history, and found this book wonderful. Haven't watched the PBS series that this book is based on, as I've said before except for sports I very seldom watch TV. Sumptuously illustrated and full of rich insider detail, Victoria & Albert takes us behind the scenes of the magnificent TV drama, including fascinating, in-depth information on the actors, the props, and the costumes – and bringing an extraordinary royal marriage even more fully to life. Drawing on letters and diaries and fresh insights into royal history, this gorgeous book charts the constant ebb and flow of power within the couple’s surprisingly ardent and modern marriage.

But together they forged a bond with each other and with their people that would change the world. Though first cousins, they could not have been more different: Victoria was impulsive, emotional, and capricious, Albert cautious, self-controlled, and logical. This all-new companion book by Daisy Goodwin and Sara Sheridan transports us to the private world of Victoria and Albert. But 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 round of duty? More than 16 million viewers watched the first season of the Masterpiece presentation of Victoria, created and written by Daisy Goodwin―the highest-rated PBS drama in twenty years, second only to Downton Abbey. The official companion to the second season of the PBS/Masterpiece drama Victoria by award-winning creator and screenwriter Daisy Goodwin.
