About this book

Tells the fascinating story of an English king trying to keep family and state together. He was part of a scandal-ridden family trying to balance duty, desire and royal protocols. A key figure in the story is Caroline Mathilde married to the mad Christian of Denmark in her teens and who met a tragic fate with her lover, Struensee. Around this tragedy weave the dramas of the rakish Duke of York, the Duke of Cumberland and the Duke of Gloucester and their amours. As a result George III constructed the Royal Marriage Act which still bedevills the royal family today.
