Farewell in Splendor: The Passing of Queen Victoria and Her Age

When Queen Victoria died in 1901, the world paused. Empires gathered, rituals unfolded, and an age quietly came to an end.

Farewell in Splendor tells the story of Queen Victoria’s final days and the extraordinary funeral that followed. Through rich detail and sharp storytelling, Jerrold M. Packard captures a moment when Britain stood at the height of its power, even as the modern world waited just around the corner.

More than a royal biography, this book explores the mood of a nation and an empire facing change. Beneath the pageantry, Packard reveals family tensions, political anxiety, and the sense that the Victorian world was slipping away.
