Memoirs of the Court and Cabinets of George the Third: From the Original Family Documents, Volume 2
Richard Plantagenet Temple Nugent Brydges Chandos Grenville, Duke of Buckingham and Chandos
Behind closed doors of the Georgian court, a kingdom trembled. In 1788, King George III succumbed to a mysterious illness that left him incapacitated, careening Britain toward a constitutional crisis with no certain outcome. Who would rule while the King was mad? The Prince of Wales waited in the wings; the politicians scrambled. This is not distant history rendered in dry academic tones, but a front-row seat to the most dramatic regency crisis Britain never fully had to endure. The Duke of Buckingham and Chandos wrote from within the family archives, drawing on letters, memoranda, and documents that had never seen daylight. What emerges is not official history, but the messy, anxious, sometimes desperate correspondence of men navigating an unprecedented situation. The ministers worried about the Prince of Wales's spending. The physicians debated the King's sanity. The public murmured in coffee houses. Every letter here crackles with the uncertainty of a nation watching its monarch unravel. For anyone fascinated by the real Game of Thrones, the one fought with quill pens and parliamentary maneuvering rather than swords, this volume offers something rare: the inside story, told by someone whose ancestors were in the room when it happened.
