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 In this, the first major biography of Leopold, Charlotte Zeepvat has drawn on unpublished sources to reveal a compelling human story which also touches on the wider worlds of late nineteenth-century Oxford and of literature, art and politics in the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.
