Book
Perdita’s Prince
Seventeen-year-old George, Prince of Wales, becomes infatuated with actress Mary Robinson after seeing her play Perdita on the London stage. Their affair unfolds within a court already shaped by George III’s authority, political calculation and the prince’s appetite for independence. Plaidy follows the relationship from romantic obsession to disillusionment, using Mary’s precarious position to show the gulf between royal promises and the realities faced by a woman whose reputation depends on princely favour.
