Princesses: The Six Daughters of George III
Flora Fraser
Drawing on their extraordinary private correspondence, acclaimed biographer Flora Fraser gives voice to the daughters of ‘Mad’ King George III. Six handsome, accomplished, extremely well-educated women: Princess Royal, the eldest, constantly at odds with her mother; home-loving, family-minded Augusta; plump Elizabeth, a gifted amateur artist; Mary the bland beauty of the family; Sophia, emotional and prone to take refuge in illness; and Amelia, ‘the most turbulent and tempestuous of all the princesses.’
In this sumptuous group portrait, Fraser takes us into the heart of the British Royal family during the tumultuous period of the American and French revolutions. Never before has the historical searchlight been turned with such sympathy and acuity on George III and his family.
