Description
A stunning new story of Queen Victoria's secret love for her servant John Brown, by the acclaimed historian Fern Riddell.
'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, their friendship immortalised in print and on-screen. But what if there was more to their relationship than we know? And what has history been hiding from us?
In this passionate and 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.
