Publisher's Summary:
On the morning of 20 June 1837, an 18-year-old girl is called from her bed to be told that she is Queen of England. The young queens first few years are beset with court scandal and malicious gossip: There is the unsavoury Flora Hastings affair, a source of extreme embarrassment to the queen; the eternal conflict between Victoria and her mother; and the young queens hatred for Sir John Conroy, her mothers close friend. Then there is the Prime Minster, Lord Melbourne - "Lord M" - worldly cynic and constant companion to the queen, himself a veteran of many a latter-day scandal. He proves to be her guiding light - until the dashing Price Albert appears and she falls hopelessly in love.

A very Good read!
Excellent book! Well written (she is one of my favorite authors) and very interesting, especially if you are a queen Victoria fan!
Wonderful story!
Great book and I'm happy with purchase!
I have never read any books written by Jean Plaidy and truly enjoyed this one
I thought the story was very well written . I have never read any books written by Jean Plaidy and truly enjoyed this one.
even the hero worship angle couldn't make the book interesting
This was not one of Plaidy's better books. Victoria does not come across as very interesting. On the contrary, she is very needy and poorly written. Plaidy has done better.
Five Stars
Excellent
