Download Matriarch: Queen Mary and the House of Windsor AudioBook Free
The life of Princess May of Teck is one of the great Cinderella stories in history. From a family of impoverished nobility, she was chosen by Queen Victoria as the bride for her eldest grandson, the scandalous Duke of Clarence, heir to the throne, who perished mysteriously before their marriage. Despite this setback, she became queen, mother of two kings, grandmother of the current queen, and a long-term mark of the majesty of the English throne. Her pivotal role in the abdication of her eldest kid, the Duke of Windsor, is just one of the events that provide the background for both fascinating biography as well as for narrating the splendors and tragedies of the entire house of Windsor.
