Prinny Remembers: The Private Reflections of His Majesty King George the Fourth by Pamela Hill (Hardback, 2006)

About this product

Product Information

Thackeray cruelly wrote of George IV as more than a tailor's dummy. Later verdicts have been founded on this. A more recent one states that he was 'an undutiful son, a bad husband, and a callous father,' without finding very much to say against his kingship. None of the above is accurate, given the kwledge of lately revealed letters from George Augustus himself and those of his daughter, Princess Charlotte. George, better remembered as Prince Regent and often called Prinny, was in many ways a secretive man despite his outward flamboyance. Hints here and there in the Princess's letters show him as an affectionate father in private. In public, his attitude to her had to be ambivalent because her mother, long estranged from him by her own choice, made common cause with his political enemies, and what has generally been put down to caprice can be seen, kwing the facts, as statesmanship. This charming, gifted and intelligent man contrived, despite an appalling hereditary illness concealed with great courage, to give his name to a brilliant Regency and thereafter to reign as King for a further ten years. From his birth in 1761, his father already had reasons for resenting him, keeping both he and his brothers in a very restrictive upbringing. So, perhaps t surprisingly, when Prinny was suddenly free on coming of age he soon amassed a serious debt problem. In the end he was compelled to give up the woman he loved and married privately, to undergo a disliked ceremony with a woman he came to detest, t only for her physical shortcomings but for her untruthfulness and mischievous gossip. Her version of the wedding night, unquestioned till w, has been disproved by two recently revealed letters the Prince wrote to the envoy who brought her from Brunswick. Later she did her best to ruin the reputation of their daughter Princess Charlotte whose own letters show a much more caring side of Prinny. Prinny Remembers is an attempt to reconstruct the probable thoughts and memories of this secret man, dying almost alone at Windsor, old, ill and blind, in 1830.

Author Biography
Pamela Hill wrote her first book, Flaming Janet, in 1953 in the middle of final year medicine to take her mind off a disastrous love affair. Naturally she failed to qualify, but the book was published next year by Chatto and had a two-column review by Marghanita Laski in the Sunday Observer hoping the writer would carry on. She has done so to the tune of about 87 books, mostly historical and crime fiction. The Malvie Inheritance made world-wide sales in the mid-70s and like some others of hers has been translated into several languages.
