Princesses The Six Daughters of George lll by Flora Fraser is a group biography of the 6 daughters of "Mad" King George lll. The author takes readers into the heart of the British Royal family during the period of the American and French revolutions and beyond. It illuminates the complicated lives of exceptional women; Princess Royal, the eldest, constantly at odds with her mother; home-loving Augusta, plump Elizabeth who was a gifted artist; Mary, the beauty of the family; Sophia, emotional and prone to take refuge in illness; and Amelia, the "most tempestuous of all the princesses".
Although they all were accomplished and educated, they were kept from marrying by George lll and the book describes how they remained subject to their father for many years. The King believed they were happy at Windsor, but the book reveals a narrative of repression and startling freedom, thought well kept.
The book is well researched using royal and private papers revealing a portrait of six fascinating women.
