Elizabeth gorged on sugar, Mary on chocolate, and Anne was known as 'Brandy Nan'. Victoria ate all of this and more. \u003ci\u003eThe Greedy Queen\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates Victoria's appetite, both for food and, indeed, for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in May 1819, Victoria came 'as plump as a partridge'. In her early years, she lived on milk and bread under the Kensington system; in her old age, she suffered constant indigestion yet continued to over-eat. From intimate breakfasts with the King of France to romping at tea-parties with her children, and from state balls to her last sip of milk, her life is examined through what she ate, when, and with whom. In the royal household, Victoria was surrounded by ladies-in-waiting, secretaries, dressers, and coachmen, but below stairs there was another category of servant: her cooks. More fundamental and yet completely hidden, they are now uncovered in their working environment for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVoracious and adventurous in her tastes, Queen Victoria was head of state during a revolution in how we ate - from the highest tables to the most humble.
