Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1813, is a collection of primary source documents on the investigation initiated by King George III into the personal conduct of his daughter-in-law, Caroline of Brunswick, Princess of Wales. It includes the written testimonies of witnesses alleging impropriety, as well as the Princess's defense against the charges and her demands for further inquiry. The collection provides insight into the fraught relationship between the Prince Regent, later George IV, and Caroline, a union that had irretrievably broken down by this point and would culminate in a highly public trial upon Caroline's accession to the position of Queen Consort, a scandal that rocked the British monarchy. The documents reveal the extent to which Caroline found herself trapped within a web of court intrigue and moral panic regarding her behavior and that of Princess Charlotte, her young daughter, and provide important evidence for historians seeking to reassess the treatment of women within British high society and the nature of the monarchy in the early 19th century.
