Featuring an archive of Royal letters, this is the story of a terrified little boy with a secret disability. When Victoria's eldest daughter Vicky married the German Crown Prince in 1858, it was not just a marriage of love but an attempt to strengthen ties between two of Europe's greatest powers. But the plan went disastrously wrong... One year after her wedding Vicky endured a difficult birth that almost ended her life and left her baby – the future Kaiser Wilhelm II – with a permanently paralysed arm. Soon Vicky presided over a series of bizarre and often cruel attempts to cure Wilhelm of his disability, which was considered shameful at the time. These procedures merely helped develop a highly dysfunctional relationship between Vicky and Wilhelm, in which he developed a growing hatred for his mother's country while at the same time expressing his desire for "forbidden love" with her.
