Summary "Secret History of the Court of England, from the Accession of George the Third" by Lady Anne Hamilton is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work delves into the intrigues and personal trials of the British royal court during the tumultuous reigns of George III and George IV, highlighting significant events and figures, including the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Princess Charlotte. At the start of the text, the author sets the stage for an exposé on the moral failings and hidden truths of the English monarchy. Through the lens of personal anecdotes and detailed historical accounts, readers are introduced to the clandestine marriage of George III to Hannah Lightfoot, a Quaker, and the subsequent forced political maneuvering surrounding his marriage to Princess Charlotte. The narrative unfolds with a critical view of royal authority, detailing the king's emotional anguish and the impact of political machinations on his reign, while hinting at broader societal consequences stemming from the court’s decadence and deception.
