Matriarch: Queen Mary and the House of Windsor
Author(s): Anne Edwards
The life of Princess May of Teck is one of the great Cinderella stories in history. From a family of impoverished nobility, she was chosen by Queen Victoria as the bride for her eldest grandson, the scandalous Duke of Clarence, heir to the throne, who died mysteriously before their marriage. Despite this setback, she became queen, mother of two kings, grandmother of the current queen, and a lasting symbol of the majesty of the British throne. This book is both thrilling biography and a narration of the splendors and tragedies of the entire house of Windsor.
