Title: InternationalPoliticsThroughTheMarriageBed
Date: Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2017
Review: Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert were the parents of nine children who all lived to adulthood, in those days a rarity even in royal families. Victoria and Albert were dutiful though not overly affectionate parents, and they saw in their brood a chance not only to encourage successful marriages but to influence the political development of Europe as well. Albert died just as their plans were beginning to unfold, but Victoria kept them firmly in mind during the remaining forty years of her life. By the time she died in 1901 her descendants were either on the thrones or in line to inherit the thrones of Britain, Germany, Russia, Greece, and sundry grand duchies and principalities, and by the late twentieth century more distant descendants also reigned or had formerly reigned over Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Romania, and Yugoslavia. Deborah Cadbury's history of Queen Victoria's matrimonial efforts on behalf of (sometimes in spite of) her children and grandchildren is an interesting and often amusing (though sometimes tragic as well) account of a period when a royal marriage sometimes influenced alliances and high politics.Cadbury's book examines several of the most pivotal marriages of Victoria and Albert's descendants beginning with their eldest daughter Victoria, who married the Crown Prince of Prussia as a teenager in 1858. From the beginning this was an important match, but it gained even more prominence when Prussia unified all of Germany and its Kings became Kaisers or Emperors. The original idea behind the match was that young Vicky could influence her husband into turning Prussia and all of Germany into democratic constitutional monarchies similar to Britain. This plan failed due to the ironclad resistance of Vicky's father in law Kaiser William I, his Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, and especially her own eldest son Kaiser William II. That failure was a harbinger of other failures to come. Marriages between Victoria's children and those of the King of Denmark and Tsar of Russia failed to influence those countries or to be of much benefit to Britain, and unions with minor Grand Dukes, Princes, and Princesses from small German courts also made little difference in power politics.When Victoria's grandchildren grew old enough to marry their grandmother made use of them as well. She encouraged some of their marriages to foreign royalties, but others she actively worked against, often to little avail. Her most pressing concern seems to have been her heir presumptive Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, for whom she sought a good steady wife who could overcome his lethargic manner and tendency to seek low amusements (fortunately for Britain Prince "Eddy" died young.) Similarly, she was determined to keep her favorite granddaughter Alix from marrying Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, but was foiled by Alix's own sister Elizabeth who had married a Grand Duke and worked hard to bring her sibling to Russia (tragically for both, as it turned out.) Other grandchildren were married to spouses (sometimes their own first cousins) with whom they had little rapport.Victoria did not live to see the failure of her hopes of encouraging European peace through her descendants' marriages. World War I saw cousins fighting other cousins, invading and destroying each others' territories and in many cases ending up exiled or murdered alongside their spouses and children. Cadbury does a superlative job of chronicling Victoria's machinations and the marriages that resulted from them. I've been a long time student of royal histories, yet I came across a number of stories and anecdotes in this book which I had never read before. If after reading Cadbury you are eager for more information on Queen Victoria's crowned descendants I suggest a hunt through used bookstores for Theo Aronson's "Grandmama of Europe." Also, Robert K. Massie's "Nicholas and Alexandra" is a good biography of the most tragic of Queen Victoria's granddaughters.

Title: Acomplicatedchessboard
Date: Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2017
Review: Queen Victoria - Britain's second-longest reigning monarch - died on January 22, 1901. She'd been a widow since December, 1861 and had worn widows-weeds ever since, mourning her beloved husband, Prince Albert of Saxe-Gotha. They had had nine children. At the time of her death, Victoria had 20 some-odd grandchildren. It was these children and grandchildren whose marriages with other members of European royalty Victoria plotted as almost her legacy. She and Prince Albert had seen their children as marrying into the other (Protestant) royal houses and bringing along their shared sense of liberal rule. In some marriages they succeeded, in others they failed. Victoria's grandchildren - often first cousins - were then married off to each other. Historian Deborah Cadbury explains Victoria's chess board and players in her new book, "Queen Victoria's Matchmaking: The Royal Marriages that Shaped Europe".Cadbury does an excellent job in picking several children and grandchildren to follow through the diplomatic and personal paths to love and marriage. Some paths were more difficult than others and some marriages turned out better than others. But that is the way it is in most families, isn't it? Victoria, though, was playing for the future of Europe and personal happiness might not have always taken first place in her consideration of which cousin would go with which cousin. Victoria was marrying off first and second cousins to each other and wasn't concerned - or knowledgeable - about the genetic dangers of kissing cousins going further than kissing.A side concern of Victoria's was the growing acts of anarchist terrorism in Europe. Russia, in particular, was the scene of several horrific political assassinations and Victoria worried about her favorite granddaughter, Alix of Hesse (daughter of her late daughter, Alice) and her choice of Nicholas of Russia as her husband. She also oversaw the marriage of her heir Bertie's first son (and then second son when the first died at a young age) to May of Teck. Now, that was a long, double courtship!Deborah Cadbury's book is very readable. She's an easy writer and doesn't waste a sentence. The reason I mention that is because I had started her previous book, "Princes at War", but didn't finish it. I may go back and try again. In any case, she does a great job laying out the complicated chessboard of British royal marriages.

Title: Youcannotmanagefamily
Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2019
Review: The best laid plans of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were the eventual foundation of World War I, the Great War. Their "meddling" in the lives and marriages of their children and grandchildren created the jealousy and envy that eventually brought Europe to the edge of oblivion. The Queen and Prince Consort wanted to create a family of equals that would settle their differences through hereditary relations and maintain a structure of peace in Europe because of them. What they created was an environment of rebelliousness, timid leadership, ego-centered maniacs and back-stabbing relatives. The death of Czar Nicholas and his family in the Russian Revolution of 1917 lay directly at the feet of Victoria. The results of this "plan" are still impacting our world today. The "what ifs" are numerous and unanswerable, their consequences being far-reaching.What possessed Albert to believe that he could dictate the relationships and thrones of the continent? The love of Victoria blinded her to the chaos this would create, and her blindness to this outcome is sad considering the wisdom and direction she lead her nation in at its zenith.The research is well done, the read drags at times and could be compressed a little to move the story along. Yet all this reveals that no matter how much power you have, how much wealth you attain, how matriarchal your family legacy may be, you cannot control the desires and drive of your family.
