Charlotte & Leopold: The True Story of The Original People's Princess by James Chambers
4.0
4,5 stars!! it would have been five of the author had bothered to give more context and sentiment.
I have never read anything about Princess Charlotte but because I was in a 18-19th century British Royal Family mood (thanks ITV Victoria) I had to pick this one up, specially because I was curious about there being a female heiress to the throne before Queen Victoria (also because Gillian Gill's Victoria and Albert book talked extensively about this).
So anyway, this was a short, if rather dry, book about (you guessed) Princess Charlotte, and her marriage to Prince Leopold. I liked it a lot and it showed me how much of a dick the Prince Regent was yikes, plus it made me think about how interesting would be to think what would have happened if Princess Charlotte hadn't died in childbirth.
