Loved reading about the life of this truly inspiring Queen and her contributions as patron of the Arts and Sciences. The family drama of the Georgian kings and their children is always delicious as well. Never quite appreciated just how terrible she was to Frederic.

Well I think it’s fair to say that Matthew Dennison is a boob man, I lost count of the amount of times he commented on Caroline’s breasts...which is reductionist at best and massively sexist at worst.
I had high hopes for this book which weren’t entirely fulfilled, managing to make a fascinating woman’s story pretty mundane, glossing over some pretty major life events but going into endless detail about how her outfits contained her breasts.
Also the ending was incredibly abrupt.
