In this second half of the story of Mary Adelaide, Duchess of Teck, Alicia takes us through the family’s financial exile to Italy – Queen Vic thought living in Florence would restrain the lavish spending the Tecks were known for – and the circuitous, flu-induced path that took Fat Mary’s daughter from shy noblewoman to future Queen of England. Oh – and why some historians have falsely tarred Queen Mary as a kleptomaniac.
