A proposito di questo titolo

In June 1838, an eighteen-year-old queen rode through London to her coronation. Victoria was small, determined, and utterly unknown to the machinery of power. Over sixty-three years, she would become the matriarch of a global empire that encompassed a quarter of the world's people. But in 1838, few predicted that she would forge a new kind of monarchy — one that balanced duty with defiance, and tradition with industry. This episode opens in Westminster Abbey on coronation day, then zooms out to the world Victoria inherited: a Britain reeling from industrial revolution, a monarchy still scarred by George IV's excesses, and an empire expanding faster than any could manage. We meet her mother's adviser, Sir John Conroy, whose iron grip nearly extinguished her independence, and Lord Melbourne, the worldly prime minister who became her political father. Their relationship — affectionate, gossipy, dangerously partisan — nearly cost Victoria her crown. Her reign would be defined by railways, wars, and the quiet revolution of photography. But first, she had to survive her own family.
