Shy, innocent, and sheltered, the orphaned princess and her youthful groom carried the hopes of a nation on their shoulders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe placid and unassuming young couple symbolised a new beginning, but soon those hopes began to sour. Charlotte and George's marriage lasted for nearly 60 years and produced more than a dozen children, but it was beset by unrest at home, war in the colonies, and the king's encroaching madness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the royal couple battled against their critics, their political opponents, and sometimes even their own family, Charlotte learned what it really meant to be queen. Locked in a bitter struggle with her eldest son for the king's future and with her daughters for their freedom, the timid young girl grew into an insular and domineering woman that few dared to cross.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShouldering the burden of family disputes, ambitious courtiers, and the care of the man she adored, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz presided over one of the most tumultuous eras that the monarchy has ever seen. As tragic as it was glittering, this is the story of her extraordinary life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Curzon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399097059\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399097055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen and Sword History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Catherine Curzon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202875212031,"sku":"9781399097055","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_185b1090-15b8-427f-b525-680699fc9bd8.jpg?v=1756833667","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-real-queen-charlotte-catherine-curzon-9781399097055","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
