Becoming Queen Victoria: The Tragic Death of Princess Charlotte and the Unexpected Rise of Britain's Greatest Monarch by Kate Williams

4.0

I wasn’t expecting the focus in the first part of this book on Princess Charlotte of Wales, the heir to George IV who died in childbirth and prompted the rush of her royal uncles to marry and produce heirs, of which Victoria was the first survivor in line. However, it was one of my favorite parts of the book since I was previously unfamiliar with this historical figure.
