Description
London 1788 was a time of great turmoil. Queen Charlotte's court was thrown into chaos as her husband, the King of England, succumbed to madness. With thirteen children to care for and the country on the brink of war, Charlotte found herself fighting to hold onto her throne. As she struggled to maintain order, she feared her own husband, someone she could no longer love or trust. The six daughters, desperate to escape their palace asylum, were forced to take matters into their own hands. Their only hope lay in finding a suitable marriage, but with the King's reputation in tatters, no prince was willing to take on the daughter of a madman. The consequences of their actions would be devastating. This is the true story of George III's madness and its impact on the women whose lives it destroyed.
