Download A Magnificent Obsession: Victoria, Albert, and the Death That Changed the British Monarchy AudioBook Free
After the untimely loss of life of Prince Albert, the Queen and her land were plunged into a state of grief so serious that one event would significantly alter the form of the British monarchy. For Britain had not merely lost a prince: during his 20-calendar year relationship to Queen Victoria, Prince Albert had progressively performed the function of Ruler in every but name. The outpouring of grief after Albert's loss of life was so extreme that its like would not be observed again before loss of life of Princess Diana 136 years later. Pulling on many letters, diaries, and memoirs from the Royal Archives and other neglected resources, as well as the magazines of your day, Helen Rappaport offers a fresh perspective on this convincing historical psychodrama - the crucial final weeks of the prince's life and the first long, dark a decade of the Queen's retreat from general population view. She pulls a portrait of any queen enthusiastic about her hubby and - after his loss of life - along with his enduring place in history. A Magnificent Obsession also sheds new light on the real aspect of the prince's chronic health, overturning for good the 150-year-old misconception that he passed away of typhoid fever.
