A Daily Mail Best History Book of the Year; A Spectator Best Book of the Year

It is generally accepted that Queen Victoria reigned but did not rule. This couldn’t be more wrong.

In Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers, Anne Somerset masterfully traces Victoria’s political evolution, from headstrong teenager to seasoned octogenarian. This book demonstrates her passionate involvement in state affairs, and casts fresh light on her relationships with her ten prime ministers.

Victoria herself acknowledged that when it came to ‘likes and dislikes’ of her prime ministers, ‘she had them very strongly’. She showed girlish adoration for her first Prime Minister, the worldly-wise Lord Melbourne, whose delightful conversation and kindly guidance enchanted her. Later in her reign, Benjamin Disraeli – who flattered her shamelessly, tirelessly praising her sagacity and judgement and filling her life with ‘poetry, romance and chivalry’ – became her favourite.

While she developed a powerful bond with several of her Prime Ministers, in other cases the relationship fell little short of mutual detestation. Victoria’s keenest antipathy was reserved for Disraeli’s great rival, the Liberal William Gladstone. When he became prime minister for a fourth time at the age of 82, Victoria declared it ‘a bad joke’ that this ‘dangerous old fanatic’ should be ‘thrust down her throat’.

Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers charts the bitter clashes and affectionate interactions Victoria had with her ten premiers in often hilarious detail. Drawing extensively on unpublished sources such as material from the Royal Archives and never-before-seen prime ministerial papers, it casts a fresh and highly illuminating perspective not just on Victoria, but on the exceptionally able politicians who served her in government.

Highly Recommend!
Color: Pure White
Between the product and the customer service I've received I feel compelled to write this positive review. First this forther that I randomly purchased due to the multiple whisk options is the most powerful rechargeable forther I found to date. I've purchased many in the past but this by far works the best. Detachable whisks are optimal for mixing options and easy cleaning. But the real star was the customer service I received when I had a slight issue. FoodVille could not have been more helpful or accommodating. I cannot recommend this product enough and the outstanding customer service I received from FoodVille was an unexpected and pleasant surprise, especially in this day and age. Do yourself a favor if you're in the market and purchase this forther you will not be disappointed.

Foodville is excellent
Color: Turquoise Green
The Foodville frother is quiet, stylish, comfortable to hold, easy to clean and keeps a charge a long time. It has 3 speeds but is powerful even at low speed. I have it in turquoise and use it everyday to make oatmilk lattes. The battery failed after a couple months but when I reached out to Foodville, they shipped a replacement immediately and followed up to make sure I received it. I was so surprised with the excellent customer service that it was nearly disorienting - nothing at all like a maddening no-exit loop with a chatbot!!! I highly recommend this frother and the company behind it.

It’s possessed
Color: Coral Pink
My kitchen theme is pink and this was a perfect addition! Until it wasn’t! Fully charged it, and placed it in its holder ready for use the next morning. From my living room I heard a noise but of course blamed it on Rita (my cat). The next morning I go to make my coffee and the device is knocked over on the counter and of course.. poor Rita! The device worked fine, didn’t send my coffee into a tornado like some do, rinsed and placed in holder. Relaxing and enjoying my morning coffee and all of a sudden this noise happens again and I see the device is on and actively spinning in the holder!!! What the energy? I run to turn it off but it stopped before I can get there. Ok, let’s not panic. Next morning? Device is dead. So I recharge, and lay it on the counter buttons up. Later that night minding my own business, the device is now rattling across the counter!!! Ran over to it, pushed the buttons and it won’t stop! After about 45 seconds it stopped. I recharge again because it died, and the sad thing is still asystolic.. (no pulse), dead, gone. What the??? So I don’t know what to tell you! It looks pretty! Updated: The company reached out to me and I received a replacement within 2-3 weeks. The new one is not possessed or dancing across the counter. Good power, 3 speeds, 2 attachments (which I seem to use without the power - such as mixing spices). Thank you for standing behind your product in a volatile economic time.

Best frother!
Color: Ultra Violet, Color: Ultra Violet
Amazing customer service! I purchased this frother earlier this year and started using it for my morning coffee. It was amazing and froth up my creamer in no time. All three settings have their own amount of power. So I was very impressed with the speed. The froth texture is heavenly. After using the frother it is very easy to rinse the piece you used. I just rinse it and place it back in its stand. I think it’s very well worth its money. Unfortunately after 4 months the machine would not charge properly so I reached out to the company and within 24 hours, they replied and sent me a replacement. I didn’t pay much attention to the fact it had a 2 yr warranty! So grateful! Thank you so much for your help!

Powerful frother and g4ea
Color: Vivid Red
I love this frother, I bought one for myself and 2 others as gifts! It is super powerful, just the first speed is usually what I use for a cup of tea or coffee, the faster speeds work great for frother hot cocoa when I make a couple cups worth on the stove top. My frother attachment did crack at the top several months after purchase but the company immediately sent me a replacement piece which has been going strong for over a month now. Great handheld frother and company that stands by their products!
