The daughters of George III : sisters and princesses
In the dying years of the 18th century, the corridors of Windsor echoed to the footsteps of six princesses, the daghters of King George III and Queen Charlotte. Faced with their father's illness and their mother's dominance, a life away from the seclusion of the royal household seemed like a dream. Yet even in isolation, the lives of the princesses were filled with incident. From secret romances to famliy feuds, rumours of pregnancy, clandestine marriages, and even a run-in with Napoleon.

Charlotte, the Queen who never was

God Save the Queen
Becoming Queen Victoria is an oddly constructed but nevertheless instructive dual biography: half of it is given over to the early life of Queen Victoria, who sat on the British throne longer than anyone, while the other half is a cradle-to-grave life account of her first cousin, Princess Charlotte, the latter offered not so much as an entity in and of itself as much as an \"explanation\" of why Victoria inherited the throne in the first place.
