The Victorian Royal Nursery explores the nursery established for Queen Victoria's children, focusing on its creation, organization, and financing. It highlights key figures involved in the care of the Royal children, including medical staff, wet nurses, and governesses. The research draws primarily from unpublished documents in the Royal Archives at Windsor, alongside lesser-known sources like the journal of Dr. Robert Ferguson and the diary of head-nurse Mrs. Ann Thurston. This original study offers a scholarly, focused examination of a previously overlooked aspect of the Victorian Royal Household, providing a comprehensive account of Queen Victoria's life in this context. The detailed exploration of the royal nursery represents a significant contribution to royal scholarship. Misztal's findings illuminate the Queen's mental and emotional state following childbirth, addressing Albert's concerns about her mental health and the rumors of her potential hereditary madness from King George III. The extensive footnotes offer additional insights, enhancing the work's depth. This research is definitive and promises to be an essential resource for future studies.
