Description

A Right Royal Scandal Two Marriages that Changed History by Joanne Major and Sarah Murden is a fascinating biography that explores the scandalous love matches within two successive generations of the Cavendish-Bentinck family, ancestors of the British Royal Family. The story begins with the tumultuous marriage between Lord Charles Bentinck and the Duke of Wellington's married niece, followed by a messy divorce and a swift remarriage. This is just the beginning of a complex tale that spans over two decades and involves a secret union at Oxford University. The book delves into the life of Charley, Lord Charles' eldest son, who fell in love with a beautiful gypsy girl and secretly married her. When his alliance was discovered, he was cast adrift by his family, leading to devastating consequences. This biography is a continuation of Joanne and Sarah's previous work on eighteenth-century courtesan Grace Dalrymple Elliott. The story ultimately reveals how the lives of this family would have unfolded differently if not for the young gypsy girl and her tragic life. A meticulously researched historical biography, A Right Royal Scandal offers a unique insight into the intricate relationships within the British aristocracy during the Georgian Era.
