| Summary | "Royal Romances of To-day" by Kellogg Durland is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the lives, romances, and reigns of notable queens of the time, specifically Empress Alexandra of Russia, Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain, and Queen Elena of Italy. Through detailed narratives supported by interviews and research, the author seeks to depict not only their royal duties but also the personal sentiments that characterized their marriages. The beginning of the work introduces Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain, affectionately known as "the Jubilee Baby." It recounts her childhood on the Isle of Wight, detailing her upbringing amidst family loss and her eventual courtship with King Alfonso XIII of Spain, a union marked by affection and political importance. The narrative highlights her early life, the impact of her father's death, and the charming circumstances surrounding her meeting and falling in love with Alfonso, laying the foundation for a royal romance that blends personal affection with the weight of monarchy.
