About This Book

The narrative traces a monarch's life from infancy and sheltered schooling through youthful accession and coronation, then follows domestic life after marriage, the establishment of a private family home, and the upbringing of royal children. It examines public duties, ceremonial occasions including jubilees, responses to personal bereavement, and relations with the populace, using episodes and illustrations to convey character traits such as duty, sympathy, and steady purpose. Chapters blend biographical episodes, contemporary portraits, and descriptive sketches of palaces and public observances to present a coherent portrait of a long and closely observed reign.
