About this listen

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.

Well written and nicely researched

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.

Glad I got it

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.

Very interesting

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.
