From Windsor to Weymouth, the shadow of scandal was never too far from
the walls of the House of Hanover. Did a fearsome duke really commit
murder or a royal mistress sell commissions to the highest bidders, and
what was the truth behind George III's supposed secret marriage to a
pretty Quaker?
With everything from illegitimate children to illegal marriages, dead
valets, and equerries sneaking about the palace by candlelight, these
eyebrow-raising tales from the reign of George III prove that the
highest of births is no guarantee of good behavior. Prepare to meet some
shocking ladies, some shameless gentlemen and some politicians who
really should know better. Love, greed and ambition were the currency,
and the stakes were high.
So tighten your stays, hoist up your breeches and prepare for a gallop
through some of the most shocking royal scandals from the court of
George III. You'll never look at a king in the same way again...
