Beskrivning
NOW A GROUNDBREAKING DOCUMENTARY‘Now, at last, we know the truth about Queen Victoria and John Brown’ BENDOR GROSVENOR ‘Irresistible’ SATHNAM SANGHERA ‘So often I told him no one loved him more than I did ... and he answered, “nor you than me. No one loves you more”...’ From the moment John Brown arrived as a servant to Queen Victoria’s household, he became known across the land as her loyal companion, her fierce protector and her right-hand man – and the centre of scandalous rumours, whispered in secret. But what if there was more to their relationship than we know? Might Queen Victoria have had a second chance at love, in spite of everything her crown, country and family required from her? In this provocative exploration of Victoria’s private passions, the acclaimed historian Fern Riddell re-examines everything we thought we knew about one of Britain’s most iconic women. A timeless romance and an extraordinary retelling of the emotional life of a queen, Victoria’s Secret is an unmissable account of a woman in love. ‘This meticulous unravelling of a 160-year-old mystery showcases Riddell at her bold and passionate best’ EMILY BRAND ‘Riveting, bold and deeply human … Riddell reveals the woman behind the crown in all her fascinating complexity’ ELINOR CLEGHORN ‘It’s tender, surprising and might just change how we see her’ ROBERT RINDER ‘Fascinating’ ANTONIA FRASER
