It aims to paint a detailed and intimate portrait of the monarchy's public life, reflecting the dynamics and influences that shaped her into the emblematic figure she became. The beginning of this work sets the stage by providing insights into Victoria's ancestry, tracing her lineage back to Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony, and highlighting the family's staunch Protestant roots and noble connections. The narrative unfolds with the mention of her maternal uncle, Leopold, King of the Belgians, and chronicles the historical events and personal tribulations that defined the royal family's legacy. It also touches on the early years of the Princess Victoria, her family dynamics, and the public interest that surrounded her as a child, establishing a foundation for her future role as queen.
