Book
The Third George
George III enters marriage with Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz hoping that royal duty will quiet the emotional attachments of his youth. Instead, his reign brings pressures on every side: political instability at home, conflict with ministers, the loss of the American colonies and repeated scandals within the royal family.
Jean Plaidy places the king’s domestic life alongside the public crises of his reign. Charlotte’s place at court, the conduct of George’s siblings and the extravagant behaviour of the Prince of Wales all become part of a family history shaped by the special demands of monarchy, where personal choices can quickly become matters of state.
