Clare McHugh
I have been interested in Queen Victoria for a long time and in several of the biographies about her, authors quoted letters she sent and received from her closest confidante, her daughter Vicky, who at age 17 moved to Berlin in 1858 to marry the Prince of Prussia. That got me interested in Vicky herself and how she navigated what turned out to be a very tricky life in Germany.

Hi Clare. I've just started reading A Most English Princess. I'm loving it so far, especially looking into Vicky's relationships with her family, especially Prince Albert. I also love the emphasis on German unification. Did you have the story set before you started doing research? Or did the research lead to the story?
