The young George III was a poignant figure, humdrum on the surface
yet turbulent beneath: hiding his own passions, he tried hard to be
a father to his siblings and his nation. This intimate, fast-moving
book tells their intertwined stories. His sisters were doomed to
marry foreign princes and leave home forever; his brothers had no
role and too much time on their hands - a recipe for disaster. At
the heart of Tillyard's story is Caroline Mathilde, who married the
mad Christian of Denmark in her teens, but fell in love with the
royal doctor Struensee: a terrible fate awaited them, despite
George's agonized negotiations. At the same time he faced his
tumultuous American colonies. And at every step a feverish press
pounced on the gossip, fostering a new national passion - a heated
mix of celebrity and sex.
