: This latest book from John Van der Kiste,
: the eminent historian of European royalty,
: is an account of Queen Victoria's personal
: and political relationships with the
: empires, or to be more exact, the Kings and
: Queens, Emperors, Empresses and their
: families of France, Germany, Austria and
: Russia. Victoria had close connections with
: the royal houses of Germany long before the
: King of Prussia became the German Emperor in
: 1871, and with the exiled former Emperor and
: Empress of the French and their son, the
: Prince Imperial, after the fall of the
: French Empire in 1870.
: Van der Kiste deftly weaves together the
: various strands of the
: relationships-including the close family
: marriage ties-to provide a fascinating
: picture of European royalty in the last two
: thirds of the nineteenth century.
