[Bethany · Rating 3 out of 5]

The author did not present enough evidence to support his belief that the Marquis of Lorne was homosexual, but constantly referred to this throughout the biography as a known fact. Where evidence is not available, shouldn't he referred to as 'suspected'? There is also a picture in the book labeled as Louise but is actually her older sister Alice. Still an interesting read.
