Synopsis

Behind the crown: a candid look at a royal life and the costs of the throne.
This edition presents suppressed memoirs of the Prince of Wales, who became George IV, shedding light on the private life and political climate of a late 18th–early 19th century monarchy. It blends scandalous anecdotes with sharp commentary on the aristocracy, court life, and the ways power touched ordinary people.


  • Shocking portraits of courtly life, sexual politics, and the hidden networks that influenced the king’s reign.

  • Investigations into royal pensions, civil list spending, and how public money supported the royal household.

  • Accounts of panderers, mistresses, and the social milieu surrounding Carlton House and the monarchy.

  • Analysis of taxation, representation, and the relationship between government, church, and the aristocracy.



Ideal for readers interested in a controversial, primary‑source view of royal life and its impact on 19th‑century politics and society.
