Wilson has produced in this biography what has hitherto been an oxymoron, a highly entertaining book about Albert. -- Daisy Goodwin ― Sunday Times
Mesmerising... An irresistible and informative read...
A.N. Wilson's brilliant book is a treat: an absorbing and entertaining guide to the complex tensions of Albert's world.
“Uncrowned King” is the story of Queen Victoria's husband who was king in all but name.― The i
Enthralling... [Wilson] writes so exuberantly and perceptively... What keeps his portrait so animated is not only the extensive use of primary sources - chiefly the correspondence lodged in the Royal Archives - but also a novelist's ability to make character vivid and narrative swift...
Wilson's account of this remarkable man is unfailingly enjoyable and sharply astute.

Subtle, amusing, gripping...
