During the sixty-odd years of her reign, Queen Victoria gathered around her a household dedicated to her service. By following the lives of six members of her household
- from governess to maid-of-honour, chaplain to personal physician
- Serving Victoria offers a unique insight into the Victorian court with all its frustrations & absurdities. Sitting squarely at its centre is Victoria, & through the eyes of her household we see a Queen who is more vulnerable, more emotional, more selfish & more comical than is generally supposed. A woman who was prone to fits of giggles, who wept easily & often, who gobbled her food & shrank from confrontation, while insisting on controlling the lives of those around her. Serving Victoria provides a glimpse of what it meant & what it was like to serve the Queen. It is shortlisted for the 2012 Costa Biography Award.
