The Coronation of George IV: The Exclusion of Queen Caroline and its Consequences
The Regency period, from 1811 to 1820, had already been marked by significant political and social changes, including the Napoleonic Wars and the beginning of industrialisation. The coronation George IV, who had been Prince Regent for nearly a decade, during his father's illness, was eagerly anticipated. It is most notable though for the controversy surrounding the exclusion of Queen Caroline, his estranged wife.
Jodi Taylor Book Recommendation: Faking It by Jennifer Crusie 💙📚
It's a deliciously sassy novel of intrigue, seduction, blackmail, art forgery, split personalities, and really great sex. 💙📚https://amzn.to/4h3T1kB

How on earth do you keep track of all the trails you start in the new tales?
