As the only child of the Prince Regent and Caroline of Brunswick, Princess Charlotte of Wales (1796-1817) was the heiress presumptive to the throne.

Her parents' marriage had already broken up by the time she was born. She had a difficult childhood and a turbulent adolescence, but she was popular with the public, who looked to her to restore the good name of the monarchy.

When she broke off her engagement to a Dutch prince, her father put her under virtual imprisonment and she endured a period of profound unhappiness. But she held out for the freedom to choose her husband, and when she married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg she finally achieved contentment.

Her happiness was cruelly cut short when she died in childbirth at the age of 21 only 18 months later. A shocked nation went into mourning for its "people's princess", the queen who never was.

The best book so far on Charlotte, the subject of so much Regency Drama. An accurate portrayal of a beautiful person with very good background detail. In addition, a pleasant read. I would like some more detail on where did Charlotte for example meet Mercer and how; what happened to people of her household etc.

Well written and nicely researched

Thorough coverage of the princess, who died at age 21; had she, or her son, lived Victoria might have been a historical footnote. Solid narration kept me engaged in the story.

Glad I got it

I enjoyed the book, but the narrator was difficult to listen to- she was so overly dramatic. Great story about a little known Princess and if she had lived, likely there would have been no Queen Victoria.

Very interesting

The Regency era has always held fascination for me, and being able to fit another puzzle piece into this multifaceted period was a lovely experience. Bringing the life of this tragic young lady to modern readers with humanity and relatability, highlighting her turmoil and yet not hiding her foibles to the veil of royalist majesty, The Lost Queen is a book of promise lost. Would Princess Charlotte of Wales have been the Queen Victoria of her age, or, as the author suggests, would she have been more susceptible to her Hanoverian blood? Her life being cut short at such a tender age lends the “what if” to her future, but leaves it open to much sentimentality. Beauty written and wonderfully narrated. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Work!
