Her reign of 63 years and seven months is known as the Victorian Era, a period of industrial, cultural, scientific, and political change that was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire. But Victoria was raised under close supervision and near isolation until she became Queen of the United Kingdom at the young age of 18. She married her first cousin, Albert, and had nine children who married into families across Europe. By the time she had earned the nickname “The Grandmother of Europe” and the title “Empress of India” it was indeed true that the sun never set on the British Empire. Publicly, she became a national icon, but privately, Who Was Queen Victoria?

"Although Victoria was only eighteen, she had been preparing for her role..."
"Although Victoria was only eighteen, she had been preparing for her role since she was eleven years old. That was when she became the next in line to the throne." This edition was written in 2014, on 9 Sept 2015 Queen Elizabeth II became the longest reigning monarch in UK history, so this book was accurate when it was written, but could use an update either to the text in general, or at least to its blurb about Queen Elizabeth at the end. That being said, I picked this up from the library and read it the week before King Charles III's Coronation, and felt the timing was quite nice. In addition to being a solid overview of Victoria's life, sprinkled throughout this book is interesting trivia about Buckingham Palace, Balmoral, her Coronation, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, lots of things that are still in the news. The book also touches on her title of "grandmother of Europe".

ヴィクトリア女王に興味がある方はぜひ。
単語の意味がわからなくて苦戦しました。ヴィクトリア女王の話しなので仕方がないのですが、普段の会話では使わない単語が出てくるので辞書が必要でした。辞書片手に読みたくない方にはストレスかも。又、時代物が好きな方には良いかもしれません。私は、話は好きでしたが単語を調べるのが面倒くさくて3分の2で読むのをやめました。
