Excellent- More about Elder Sons of George III: Kings, Princes, and a Grand Old Duke
The Elder Sons of George III were a group of princes who lived during the tumultuous reign of King George III. They were born during a half-decade of upheaval and struggled to build lives away from the shadow of their pious parents. Their lives were filled with scandalous romances, illegal marriages, rumors of corruption, and even kidnapping plots, making them as breathless as they were dramatic. The book takes readers from Great Britain to America and on to Hanover in the company of these princes, who were sometimes scandalous, sometimes sensational, but never dull.

For nearly sixty years, King George III presided over a turbulent kingdom, his health and realm in turmoil, while family life presented its own set of challenges. From the corpulent Prinny and the Grand Old Duke of York to a king who battled the Lords and the disciplinarian Duke of Kent, this is the story of the elder sons of George III. Born amidst a half-decade of upheaval, George, Frederick, William, and Edward defined an era. Their scandals captivated the nation, and their efforts to forge lives independent of their impossibly pious parents led them down diverse paths. Whether dedicating their lives to the military or to pleasure, every moment was captured in the full glare of the spotlight.
The sons of George III were groomed from infancy to take their place on the world's stage, but as the king's health failed and the country lurched from one drama to the next, they found that duty was easier said than done. With scandalous romances, illegal marriages, rumors of corruption, and even the occasional kidnapping plot, their lives were as breathless as they were dramatic. In The Elder Sons of George III: Kings, Princes, and a Grand Old Duke, embark on a journey from Great Britain to America and on to Hanover in the company of princes who were sometimes scandalous, sometimes sensational, but never dull.
