Secrets of Bismarck Book Sparks Backstage Royal Feud
An newly issued work by Dr. Moritz Busch on Bismarck reveals bitter views on the royal houses of Great Britain and Germany. It portrays Queen Victoria and the Prussian queens as influential and sometimes meddlesome, cites Bismarck's caustic judgments on William I and his successors, and notes an 1870 debate over bombarding Paris influenced by these feminine interventions. The discussions touch on Princess Victoria and the Battenberg marriage as part of broader Franco Prussian war era tensions.
