This 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.
