Life and Times of Her Majesty Caroline Matilda, Vol. 1 (of 3) Queen of Denmark and Norway, and Sister of H. M. George III. of England

Drawing on freshly opened Copenhagen archives, private state papers, and intimate family correspondence, this volume offers a detailed portrait of a 18th‑century queen whose life has long been clouded by rumor. The author weaves together unpublished judicial reports, memoirs of court insiders, and his own grandfather’s journals to reconstruct the early years of Caroline Matilda’s marriage to the Danish king and her sudden rise within a court already trembling under reformist ambitions. Readers will encounter the vibrant personalities of the royal household, the political climate that made the queen both a symbol and a pawn, and the first stirrings of the scandal that would later dominate European imagination.

The narrative remains anchored in the queen’s personal voice, highlighted by a poignant death‑bed letter to her brother, the future British monarch. By presenting these newly discovered documents, the work invites listeners to reassess the fairness of the accusations that led to her downfall, while still preserving the mystery that surrounds the early court intrigues. It is a compelling blend of scholarly rigor and human drama, offering fresh insight into a story that has inspired countless retellings.
