Over afternoon tea, Historian Helen Rappaport introduces her new book, Magnificent Obsession: Victoria, Albert & the Death that Changed the Monarchy.

Following Albert's death after 21 years of marriage, the Queen retreated into a state of pathological grief which nobody could penetrate and few understood.

Drawing widely on contemporary letters, diaries and memories, Rappaport brings new light to bear on the causes of Albert’s death and tracks Victoria’s mission to commemorate her husband in perpetuity.  Richly compelling, this is the story of a magnificent obsession that even death could not sever.
