The private home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert was more than just a refuge from court life: it gave the couple the chance to indulge their interests and express their tastes. It is truly their creation, from the replica Swiss Cottage where the children learnt housekeeping and gardening to the extraordinary Durbar Room, a tribute to the Queen's love of India. This new revised guidebook includes a tour and history of the house, with reconstruction drawings and historical photographs.
