On his death-bed in 1820 Queen Victoria's father, the Duke of Kent, left his widow and baby daughter in the care of his dashing aide de camp Captain John Conroy. A decade later Sir John Conroy, as he then was, appeared as a knight in shining armour, totally in control of the Duchess of Kent's household and of Victoria. How was it then that only five years the Heiress Presumptive had brought about his downfall? In this delightful account the historian author, using unpublished material from the Conroy papers in Bailliol College, Oxford and from the Royal Archives, reveals for the first time the secret delusion on which Sir John's dominance was based.
