The Mystery of Princess Louise: Queen Victoria’s Rebellious Daughter by Lucinda Hawksley
The secrets of Queen Victoria’s sixth child, the artistic and tempestuous Princess Louise, have been shielded for years from public view, with rumours of her colourful life hinted at but never documented in hard fact.
When Lucinda Hawksley started to investigate the unconventional royal, she discovered a fascinating woman, modern before her time: a sculptor and painter, a friend to the Pre-Raphaelites, a campaigner for education and health reform, a daughter battling against a controlling mother – and a princess followed by whispers of love affairs and ill-advised entanglements.
Discover the intrigues, scandals and secrets of Princess Louise, who spent her early life at Osbourne House, Isle of Wight.
