Synopsis

Explore the private world of George III’s family through rare letters, diaries, and unpublished papers.

This edition gathers published materials and a wealth of unpublished manuscripts to offer a vivid, not-always-glamorous view of court life from 1760 to 1830. Drawing on diaries, letters, and the Harcourt Papers, it presents the characters, relationships, and daily routines that shaped the royal household. The narrative mixes drama, affection, and caution, painting portraits of kings, princes, and princesses in their domestic circles as they navigated public duty and personal loyalties.

• See how the royal family lived, from public ceremonies to quiet moments at home.
• Meet the dukes and princesses through firsthand letters, diaries, and court records.
• Discover the social life, intrigues, and personal ties that defined the era.
• Learn how editors balanced published material with rare and private sources for a fuller picture.

Ideal for readers of royal history and 19th‑century Britain who want a nuanced view of the era’s court life.
