Journal Entry 2 by wingCassandra2020wing at Roslin, Scotland United Kingdom on Thursday, October 31, 2024
Queen Victoria by Lucy Worsley - Good

A biography told in 24 chapters, each chapter focusing on a particular event in the monarch's life. This was never going to be a comprehensive history but it still managed to convey enough detail about Victoria and her reign in the author's usual accessible and breezy style.

Some things I knew, some things I learned. In particular, while I knew the Royal Family was interbred and prone to health problems as a result I hadn't realised just how closely related they all were. I thought it was the children and grandchildren of Albert and Victoria that intermarried, I hadn't realised that they themselves were first cousins.
