The Empress Eugénie was one of the most glamorous, celebrated and ultimately tragic figures of the nineteenth century. Wife of Napoleon III and close friend of Queen Victoria, she suffered the loss of her beloved sister, her only son, and her adopted country. But did Eugénie take her greatest secret-an illegitimate child, conceived when she was a teenager in Spain and fathered by the only man she ever truly loved-to the grave with her? And if so, what became of the child? After half a lifetime's research Joyce Cartlidge has pieced together evidence from historic records and clues in correspondence from Eugénie and her family and friends, some of it never printed before, to tell a compelling story of love and motherhood that ties the Spanish house of Montijo and the French throne to a small family in Victorian Lancashire.

"This is the personal story of the lives of Emperor Napoleon III and the Empress Eugenie, and, to a lesser extent, of their only son, the Prince Imperial. It is in no way a political and military analysis of France's Second Empire. It is an experiment in the resurrection of two outstanding characters, with its roots in the eighteenth century and its ending in 1920.".

Though appallingly mismatched -- sexually, emotionally, politically -- the scheming nephew of Napoleon I and his headstrong Spanish consort had each cultivated in childhood a dream that thoroughly jibed with the ambitions of the other. A remarkable collusion of happenstance and ingenuity carried them to the throne. Once in power, Napoleon III and Eugénie set out to revive a glittering and decadent Napoleonic gloire. But while they were designing the Paris of today, with its magnificent parks, boulevards, and architectural wonders, they were also dreaming up the Mexican fiasco responsible for poor Maximilian's death. They were to direct the course of our own time as well, for their disastrous foreign policies contributed to the rise of a Germany that would cause two world wars.
