The family that shaped Europe's ruling classes in the 20th century

Although rarely documented as the warmest of monarchs and often criticized for her surly attitude to motherhood, Queen Victoria did successfully heir nine children. By the late 19th century, she had over thirty surviving grandchildren.

Understanding the important role of marriage in upholding Britain's power and influence over Europe, Victoria inserted herself as somewhat of a royal matchmaker in her grandchildren's lives, recommending or despairing at their varied suitors.

In this comprehensive delve into Victoria's offspring, Theo Aronson describes the intersection of cultures as princesses with British upbringings experienced the courts of Spain, Romania, Greece, Russia, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. He also explores how the queen's best intentions for royal diplomacy failed to prevent World War I but did, at least, have a significant influence on the absorption of British customs into other courts.

Written many years ago (1970) still I learned new insights about the intricacies of Victoria’s descendants. You’d think WWI could have been averted but dastardly characters like Bismarck foiled that plan. Every time I read about Princess Royal Vickie, I hope for a different outcome. No such luck. But the smaller kingdoms of Romania, Denmark and Yugoslavia were new histories that enlightened. It’s almost like you need a scorecard to keep up.

Even new info for this Victoria fan

I have read a number of books on Queen Victoria. It has been a delightful experience to have one read to me. From what I have read, I believe things has been an accurate portrayal of her life; well organized and presented. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.
