Such a brilliant idea! Drilling down into Victoria's diaries Worsley gives us Victoria in all her infinite variety - queen and mother, matriarch and minx...I loved it. - Daisy Goodwin, author, and creator of ITV's Victoria The glory of this book is in the details, and the specific moments, that Worsley chooses to single out for mention, and in her cheerful voice as she leads us by the hand to the next window of Victoria's life calendar. - The Times A wonderfully fresh, vivid and engaging portrait of Victoria. - Jane Ridley, author of Bertie: A Life of Edward VII
