Those of you who know me as the chronicler of Mr Wickham’s further adventures won’t be surprised to know that I love a good scandal, so I’m thrilled to announce that my new non-fiction book, The Scandal of George III’s Court, is available now. Even better, you can snap it up with £4 off by visiting Pen and Sword at the link below.

From Windsor to Weymouth, the shadow of scandal was never too far from the walls of the House of Hanover. Did a fearsome duke really commit murder or a royal mistress sell commissions to the highest bidders, and what was the truth behind George III’s supposed secret marriage to a pretty Quaker?
With everything from illegitimate children to illegal marriages, dead valets and equerries sneaking about the palace by candlelight, these eyebrow-raising tales from the reign of George III prove that the highest of births is no guarantee of good behaviour. Prepare to meet some shocking ladies, some shameless gentlemen and some politicians who really should know better.
So tighten your stays, hoist up your breeches and prepare for a gallop through some of the most shocking royal scandals from the court of George III’s court. You’ll never look at a king in the same way again…

Cool. Can’t wait to read it. Glad I was not a member of his court.
Thank you! It was certainly a rum old place.
CONGRATULATIONS! So true “…that the highest of births is no guarantee of good behaviour.”!!!
