Spirited and lively, Queen Victoria's Mysterious Daughter is richly packed with arguments, intrigues, scandals, and secrets, and is a vivid portrait of a princess desperate to escape her inheritance.

The secrets of Queen Victoria's sixth child, Princess Louise, may be destined to remain hidden forever. What was so dangerous about this artistic, tempestuous royal that her life has been documented more by rumor and gossip than hard facts? When Lucinda Hawksley started to investigate, often thwarted by inexplicable secrecy, she discovered a fascinating woman, modern before her time, whose story has been shielded for years from public view.

Louise was a sculptor and painter, friend to the Pre-Raphaelites and a keen member of the Aesthetic movement. The most feisty of the Victorian princesses, she kicked against her mother's controlling nature and remained fiercely loyal to her brothers-especially the sickly Leopold and the much-maligned Bertie. She sought out other unconventional women, including Josephine Butler and George Eliot, and campaigned for education and health reform and for the rights of women. She battled with her indomitable mother for permission to practice the masculine art of sculpture and go to art college-and in doing so became the first British princess to attend a public school.

The rumors of Louise's colorful love life persist even today, with hints of love affairs dating as far back as her teenage years, and notable scandals included entanglements with her sculpting tutor Joseph Edgar Boehm and possibly even her sister Princess Beatrice's handsome husband, Liko. True to rebellious form, she refused all royal suitors and became the first member of the royal family, since the sixteenth century, to marry a commoner. She moved with him to Canada when he was appointed Governor-General.

Great plate, great value
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Brown
I have been purchasing these plates for over a year and a half to two years and they’re quite excellent. They are very durable and hold up exceptionally well. A great value for the dollar.

You need to stack 3 trays for a turkey…
Size: 9*13 Aluminum Pans
I had to stack 3 of these light weight trays to cook my 11lb turkey. Heavy duty? Prove it. These thickness on these trays are no way close to what I’ve seen real heavy duty trays. The most accurate description on this item that they are disposable. If you are baking cookies then you’ll be fine but if you are cooking hefty meals then this is not the tray you are looking for. All in all though, this is honestly my fault for not going to my local market and getting a real tray and instead of using amazon search algorithm to find a tray. 1/5 would not get it again for meat. 5/5 I would get it to bake muffins or small sized bakery pastries and size is accurate. Averages out to 2.5 stars but for lying on the title saying you can cook turkeys on this thing. I’m give it a 2/5.

Get all the cooking pans you need for the holidays.
Size: 9*13 Aluminum Pans
These really came in handy this holiday season. With all the parties to cook for, the business potlucks everyone had, and just needing a way to make large meals in one go, I burned thru most of these in a three week span. The worked great with baking a ham, keeping ribs warm in the oven, a large amount of banana pudding, bulk cooking potatoes, and several large chickens being roasted using these pans. The hold up well to heavy foods without warping or bending (always keep a sheet pan under it of course). And most of them were washed out and set to the side to be used again, saving even more money.
