When the Prince Regent (who would later become King George IV)
separated privately from Princess Caroline in 1796, they had been
together for less than a year. Their disastrous marriage, ridiculed
by the satirists of the day, led to profound political consequences
and the eventual trial of Queen Caroline for adultery. After her
exile, Caroline traveled through Europe with her own court, with
catastrophic results, eventually returning to England but still
lacking the dignity of her station. With careful research and an
eye to the parallels in the modern era, acclaimed biographer Flora
Fraser crafts in The Unruly Queen a riveting portrait of a
woman who, despite her persecution, refused to be victimized.
“A complete and well-documented account [that] tells the story
of a marginal woman and a near-tragic queen.”
—David Cannadine, The New York Times Book Review
“Magnificent. . . . What a saga Caroline’s life was.”
—New York Post
“A squalid tale superbly told.”
—Sunday Times (London)
