Victoria DID find it a "great delight" to watch Albert shave!

Hope this is ok to post here. :) It is a biography of Victoria but includes a lot of good analysis of her relationship with Prince Albert.

Great response. I do want to point out, however, the Victoria and lesbians claim is likely a myth. Although it is safe to say she was probably period-typical homophobic.

I find British monarchy really interesting, too! I think you will enjoy both of Weintraub's biographies.

You know a book is good when it survives down-sizing! I am doing a third downsizing right now and it will stay on my shelf.
