In this entertaining biography, James Chambers brings to life for the first time the doomed romance between Charlotte, heir to the English throne, and Leopold, uncle of Queen Victoria and first King of the Belgians. Charlotte was the only legitimate royal child of her generation, and her death in childbirth was followed by an unseemly scramble to produce a substitute heir. Queen Victoria was the product. Chambers masterfully demonstrates how the personal and the political collide in scheming post-Napoleonic Europe, offering a vivid portrait of a couple whose lives are in many ways not their own.
AUTHOR
James Chambers' previous books include Palmerston: The People's Darling, The Daily Telegraph History of the British Empire and The Devil's Horsemen.
