Victoria & Albert

Victoria and Albert were the royal couple that broke the mould- it may have been an arranged match, yet their union was a passionate, tempestuous relationship between two extremely strong-willing individuals. Despite the fact that they were first cousins they could not have been more different- she was impulsive, emotional, capricious, while he was cautious, self-controlled and logical. Victoria had all the power and status while Albert, despite his great intelligence and genius for organisation, was always the junior partner. But together they became the most successful royal couple there had ever been.This official companion to ITV's Victoria is full of rich historical detail and takes fans deeper into the period than ever before. Using their letters and diaries, Victoria and Albert charts the constant ebb and flow of power between the couple, and presents a picture of very modern marriage.
