He and the Prince of Wales were thick as thieves together (especially during the regency crisis) and he ended up marrying another Fred of sorts: Frederica of Prussia!Heather Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544318718074061879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-60762393830118163302018-05-03T02:07:56.506-04:002018-05-03T02:07:56.506-04:00Hello!

I was so confused when you mentioned Prince Frederick because he is not included in the list of George III's issues. Thanks for this!

It seems natural to display them all together.<br /><br />I did read Frasier's Princesses (and reviewed it) and was disappointed in the book. I found it got extremely dry.Heather Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544318718074061879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-78026585978788706502010-06-11T08:43:25.164-04:002010-06-11T08:43:25.164-04:00I have never seen all of Gerorge's family'...I have never seen all of Gerorge's family's portraits gathered in one place and how wonderful to be able to look at their similar features. I could look at portraits all day. There was an exhibition of miniatures in Charleston, SC a few years ago and I visited several times.<br /><br />Have you read Princesses: The Daughters of George III by Flora Fraser? How about A Royal Affair by Stella Tillyard? Fantastic read. Love Stella.<br /><br />I just posted a blurb about one of George's poor, unfortunate sisters.<br /><br />Always a pleasure to visit your blog.Leah Marie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432159961271108072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-73101240725749231982010-06-11T07:47:06.776-04:002010-06-11T07:47:06.776-04:00Beautiful!

Princess Elizabeth is my favourite- something about her expression, I think. <br /><br />Have you read Princesses by Flora Fraser?
