"When I was young I had an elderly friend who used often to ask me to stay with him in the country. He was a religious man and he read prayers to the assembled household every morning. But he had crossed out in pencil all the passages that praised God. He said that there was nothing so vulgar as to praise people to their faces and, himself a gentleman, he could not believe that God was so ungentlemanly as to like it."
- W. Somerset Maugham
(1874 - 1965)

Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany (1853-84), is acknowledged to have been the most intelligent and probably the most interesting of Queen Victoria's four sons. He was the youngest and a strong-willed, attractive character, with an immense thirst for life. He was also, however, the first haemophilia sufferer in the royal family and endured continual ill health; as if haemophilia was not enough, he was also epileptic. In this, the first major biography of Leopold, Charlotte Zeepvat has drawn on unpublished sources to reveal a compelling human story which also touches on the wider worlds of late nineteenth-century Oxford and of literature, art and politics in the Victorian period. In particular, it examines the question of haemophilia and the royal family from a new angle. Finally, it examines Leopold's life at Oxford, the varied and interesting friendships he developed there (with, among others, Charles Dodgson - 'Lewis Carroll' - John Ruskin and Oscar Wilde), his political views and the importance of his work as unofficial secretary to the Queen.
