Of duty, destiny, and Di
In his new book, Donald Spoto tackles a very big subject. Dynasty follows the lives of the major players in the British royal family from Victoria to the present day, and does it with a brio one had not suspected the subject would have merited. How on earth, for example, did the Victorian Age ever get a reputation for being sexually repressive when Queen Victoria went full throttle into her marriage with her German Prince Albert and never, except during her pregnancies, which she loathed, applied the brake until he died? Her enthusiastic embrace of the pleasures of the marital bed produced nine children, all of whom went on to populate the thrones of Europe. Albert was at first regarded with suspicion by the British establishment, partly because, from ancient times all the way through the recent television series 'Allo, 'Allo, the British have regarded German accents as side-splittingly funny, but partly also due to his tremendous influence over the Queen, and because he preferred intellectual pursuits to the traditional British field sports of hunting and shooting innocent animals.
