This book about the marriage of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert tells the story of one of the most famous relationships in history. Their marriage was by no means a grand match for Victoria and was very unpopular with the British public. There were early troubles for the couple with power struggles, personality clashes, and unwelcome pregnancies; but they created a true partnership, a happy family life, and founded a dynasty. The book ends with Albert's early death, and how a man in the prime of life was worn out with the stresses and strains of being Victoria's husband. Victoria was pregnant for a third of her married life, and the book looks at how she dealt with pregnancy, childbirth, and being a mother. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were married at the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace in London, on 10 February 1840, when they were both twenty years old. For her, their marriage followed a whirlwind romance and Albert would be a life-long passion. For him, it was a successful outcome of long-laid plans - marrying Victoria was his career. They were in an unusual position for their time, because it was Victoria who was the sovereign and Albert had a supporting role. Their marriage would succeed, but stormy waters lay ahead. 'Victoria and Albert' uses some of Victoria's own words from her journal and letters to help tell the story and is beautifully illustrated throughout with portraits and other memorabilia from the author's collection. This short book is intended to be light-hearted and easy-to-read and should appeal to anyone who likes history, or follows royalty, or is interested in people's personal stories. 'Victoria and Albert' is the second of three books about 'The Colourful Personal Life of Queen Victoria'. They focus on the story of Victoria as a woman - her personal life, the events that formed her character, and the relationships that were important to her. The first book, 'Young Victoria', looked at her early years, including her difficult childhood and how she came to the throne aged only eighteen. The third book, 'The Widowed Queen', will cover the long years of her widowhood after Albert's early death, as the doyenne of sovereigns and grandmamma of Europe.

Excerpt from The Married Life of Queen Victoria The married life of an individual predicates a second individual, and this volume is as much a con sideration of the Character of the Prince Consort as of that of Queen Victoria. Though in his youth he pro fessed liberal tendencies, the Prince was a strong up holder of Monarchy, and resisted with all his strength anything that he considered an encroachment on the powers of the Crown. He went further, for his life in England was, on one side of it, a long attempt to put back the hands of the clock and reinstate authority which had already been delegated to Parliament. Had the Prince lived long, the history of England would have been very different from what it is, for either our Parliament would have succumbed to his ideals, and England would have become reactionary, or the struggle between the people and the Crown would have ended in the abolition of the Monarchy; and it is not difficult to believe which part the English people would have Chosen in the critical time of thirty and forty years ago.

"Written with fine taste and delicate reserve." -- The Independent A unique, contemporary account of the personal life of one of Britain's best loved monarchs. The Personal Life of Queen Victoria, first published during her reign in 1897, tells the story of the life of a monarch whose legacy had a huge impact on politics and society in Europe throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Tooley provides a detailed look at the Queen's early life, her childhood spent preparing to become queen, her family relationships with George IV and William IV, and her eventual succession at age 18. In 1840, Queen Victoria married Prince Albert of Coburg resulting in one of the great royal marriages which produced nine children. These children eventually married into royalty across Europe, giving Victoria the title of the "grandmother of Europe". Tooley also covers the political turmoil which spanned Victoria's reign including the Crimean War, and troubles throughout the Empire. "Mrs. Tooley's 'Memoirs' are a brightly written popular account, which will appeal at once to all classes and ages of loyal subjects. Throughout the volume the writer has kept the political atmosphere in the background, intent rather on depicting our Sovereign, as she spoke of herself on her marriage day, as a woman rather than a queen." -- The Bookseller "Mrs. Tooley, in addition to the ordinary sources of information, has been favoured with many special anecdotes and particulars of incidents in the Queen's career. This gives her book a distinct.value." -- Westminster Gazette

A captivating exploration of the role in which Queen Victoria exerted the most international power and influence: as a matchmaking grandmother. As her reign approached its sixth decade, Queen Victoria's grandchildren numbered over thirty, and to maintain and increase British royal power, she was determined to maneuver them into a series of dynastic marriages with the royal houses of Europe. Yet for all their apparent obedience, her grandchildren often had plans of their own, fueled by strong wills and romantic hearts. Victoria's matchmaking plans were further complicated by the tumultuous international upheavals of the time: revolution and war were in the air, and kings and queens, princes and princesses were vulnerable targets. Queen Victoria's Matchmaking travels through the glittering, decadent palaces of Europe from London to Saint Petersburg, weaving in scandals, political machinations and family tensions to enthralling effect. It is at once an intimate portrait of a royal family and an examination of the conflict caused by the marriages the Queen arranged. At the heart of it all is Victoria herself: doting grandmother one moment, determined Queen Empress the next.
