Prince Albert’s crowning achievements

For more than six decades, Queen Victoria ruled a great Empire at the height of its power. Beside her for more than twenty of those years was the love of her life, Prince Albert. But while Victoria is seen as the embodiment of her time, it was Prince Albert, who was at the vanguard of Victorian Britain's transformation as a vibrant center of political, technological, scientific, and intellectual advancement. A composer, engineer, soldier, politician, linguist, and bibliophile, Prince Albert, more than any other royal, was truly a "genius."

Drawn from the Royal archives, including Prince Albert's voluminous correspondence, this brilliant and ambitious book offers fascinating never-before-known details about the man and his time.
