The first one was Victoria the Queen, written by Julia Baird, which is of
course a splendid biography about Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.
I liked reading this interesting book about Queen Victoria, which was written
very well and it gives an idea about her life from birth till death.
It also describes the era of Queen Victoria , her ministers, writers,
inventors and many other important people.
This is a biography as it should be.
The other royal biography was a book written in Dutch about an other
interesting queen: Queen Elisabeth of Belgium written by Ralf De Jonge.
Elisabeth became the third queen of Belgium from 1909 till 1934. In the
book, which also was written very well the author tells about Elisabeth's
youth in Bavaria, about her bond with her aunt Empress Elisabeth of
Austria (Sisi) , her marriage to Crown Prince Albert of Belgium, her
duties as a Queen and of course about the World Wars too. She had big
dramas in her life, deaths of family members as well as professional dramas
such as the abdication of her son King Leopold III of Belgium. Anyway
this is a must read for history lovers.
Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Elisabeth, the third Queen of
Belgium were both very extraordinary women. They had a special function
and a very high position in society. It is worth to read more about them.
