Christian Friedrich Baron Stockmar (1787 1863) was physician and
advisor to Prince Leopold, son-in-law of George IV and later King
of the Belgians. He was influential in promoting the marriage of
Leopold's nephew Prince Albert to Queen Victoria, and became a
trusted advisor to them both. His involvement in English politics
was often seen as German interference in English matters, while in
Germany he was regarded as a spy. These two volumes of his papers,
selected by his son Ernst, were published in both German and
English in 1872, and displeased Queen Victoria by its revelations
about clashes between Lord Palmerston and the Prince Consort.
Volume 2 focuses on the period 1838 1863, beginning with the
Queen's engagement and marriage to Prince Albert, and describing
the difficulties of the Prince Consort's role. It also covers
English politics and foreign affairs, including the European
revolutions of 1848 and the Crimean War.
