Julia Gelardi's "Born to Rule" is the powerful epic story of five
royal granddaughters of Queen Victoria, who reigned over the end of
their empires, the destruction of their families, and the tumult of
the twentieth century
Here are the stories of Alexandra, whose faith in Rasputin and
tragic end have become the stuff of legend; Marie, the flamboyant
and eccentric queen who battled her way through a life of intrigues
and was also the mother of two Balkan queens and of the scandalous
Carol II of Romania; Victoria Eugenie, Spain's very English queen
who, like Alexandra, introduced hemophilia into her husband's
family---with devastating consequences for her marriage; Maud, King
Edward VII's daughter, who was independent Norway's reluctant
queen; and Sophie, Kaiser Wilhelm II's much maligned sister,
daughter of an emperor and herself the mother of no less than three
kings and a queen, who ended her days in bitter exile.
Using never before published letters, memoirs, diplomatic
documents, secondary sources, and interviews with descendents of
the subjects, Julia Gelardi's "Born to Rule "is an astonishing and
memorable work of popular history.
