Becoming Queen -  Kate Williams
Welcome

Welcome! Becoming Queen, the amazing tale of Victoria's passionate struggle for the throne, and the tale of Princess Charlotte, the forgotten heir, was serialised in the Sunday Telegraph, and it was a Book of the Year in the Tatler and Spectator. My one-hour BBC  2 Timewatch special, 'Young Victoria' has been shown regularly on the BBC. My first book, England's Mistress: the Infamous Life of Emma Hamilton, was Book of the Week on Radio 4, a Book of the Year in the Times and the Independent, and shortlisted for the Marsh/English Speaking Union prize for Biography, 2005-6. The film is in production and the stage musical is in development. My historical novel, The Pleasures of Men, will be published by Penguin next year.
