Description: "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.
