The book offers a detailed exploration of Queen Victoria's dynamic relationships with her ten prime ministers during her lengthy reign. Contrary to the notion that she merely reigned without ruling, Victoria is depicted as a strong-willed leader with distinct preferences and aversions. The narrative highlights her affectionate bond with Benjamin Disraeli and her disdain for William Gladstone, among others. Utilizing unpublished sources, the author provides a fresh perspective on Victoria and the influential politicians navigating a period of significant global transformation.
