In this book, acclaimed biographer Raymond Lamont-Brown casts light
on a previously overlooked aspect of the monarchy. From the
instigation of the royal doctor in medieval times, to the present
day, the tales of secrets, murder, medical incompetence, and
revolutionary operations revealed in this book make compelling
reading. This is a fascinating look at the relationship between
monarchs and their doctors and reveals the complex and influential
position that they held. Included here are Sir William Gull, court
physician to Queen Victoria, who was a suspect in the Jack the
Ripper case; and Sir Frederick Treves, who not only was court
physician to the four succeeding monarchs, but was also the man who
helped to rescue the Elephant Man, Joseph Merrick, from a
fairground freak show.
