Since there were 22 granddaughters, Ms Croft does a great job of keeping them all straight in the reader's mind. I commend her for her research and writing skill as well as for using the nicknames used within the family for keeping them all straight. In order to tell the story of the granddaughters, the author has to pretty well include a biological sketch of the Queen's children and their mates as well as the grandsons. Of course the mates of the grandchildren and some of their children are included as well, but the primary emphasis is on the granddaughters. In other words, here we have a pretty comprehensive history of the royal family of 3 generations. It is all written in an interesting, easy to understand, style. We find Victoria to have been a loving, hands-on grandmother, especially to those of her granddaughters who lost their mothers at early ages. Especially precious to her was Alix, who became the ill-fated Tsarina of Russia, who was murdered by the Communists in 1917 together with her husband and children. King George V denied the family asylum fearing that to give protection to the Tsar would place his own throne in danger. The horrific result was quite sobering to him as to all the rest of the world. A more sympathetic treatment was given to Willy, Victoria's first grandchild, who became the Kaiser Wilhelm II, than I have seen in other accounts. This is also the only place where I have read that Victoria died in the arms of Willy. I have read in other places that some of her daughters tried to keep Willy from the sick room. For me the only confusing parts were when Ms Croft succumbed to the tendency of other writers to give the characters their titles instead of their nicknames. This only happened a few times. On one occasion she started talking about Queen Marie, and I had to do quite a bit of backtracking before I realized that this was the woman called Missy before she became a Queen. Evidently she couldn't say Queen Missy. Backtracking is not easy when reading from a Kindle, and I was happy that at the beginning of each chapter, a list of the principal characters mentioned in the chapter were listed together with their relationships to one another. All in all, I would say that this was a very superior and well-written and researched book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fascinating Book. *by H***F on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2013* This is a fascinating book and quite unique in the way it combines the stories of Queen Victoria’s granddaughters and creates a more complete picture of the extended family than anything I have read on the subject before. The comparisons of their marriages, spirituality, education and characters are very interesting, and the appendices at the end of the book, covering such subjects as thoughts on the death of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s mourning and her choice of reading, as well as an interesting insight into the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, make this an all round intriguing read. Since there are so many central characters (all 22 of Victoria’s granddaughters!) it is very helpful that there is a brief who’s who of who appears in each chapter, at the beginning of each chapter. I also like the way that the author manages to keep the book moving in a chronological fashion while combining the different aspects of the granddaughters’ lives. It was good to see that this didn’t concentrate solely on the more famous of the granddaughters but included all of them in a way that shows psychological understanding, without being pedantic, and a deep respect for these people. One thing I have noticed in all the books by this author, is the way that she goes beneath the surface and seeks to understand her characters rather than simply re-hashing stories about them. I have enjoyed her novels immensely and am glad that she has also produced this non-fiction book.Filled with interesting anecdotes and written in a way that shows a deep understanding of these people, this would be a great reference book for anyone wanting to find out more about Queen Victoria’s family, and is also a great read! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Interesting, but.... *by S***O on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2018* Queen Victoria's Granddaughters was a very interesting book, written in an easy-to-read manner. As I am not a follower of the British Royal family, I would have liked to have a family tree layout indicating the queen, her children, grandchildren (sons included) and whom they married to which to refer to at perhaps the front of the book, as it gets quite confusing sometimes. There were also spelling and grammatical errors which should have been picked up by the editor. Overall, however, very interesting --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3627630-queen-victorias-granddaughters-1860-1918](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3627630-queen-victorias-granddaughters-1860-1918) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
