I agreed that such a biography was needed, and wondered when one would come out. To coincide with the release of many of Charlotte’s papers, she kindly agreed to reflect on her project for the Georgian Papers Programme.Ĭharlotte has been hovering at the back of my mind ever since I read Linda Colley’s plea in Britons for ‘an intelligent biography’ of the princess, ‘in a wider context of nineteenth-century attitudes towards women and the monarchy’. In March this year she published her biography of Princess Charlotte, The Lost Queen: The Life & Tragedy of the Prince Regent’s Daughter with Pen and Sword. After studying History at University College London, she has taught for among others Birkbeck, University of London and the Open University, and is now a tutor for the WEA (Workers’ Educational Association).
Reflections on Princess Charlotte: the “Lost Queen”Īnne Stott is the author of Hannah More: The First Victorian (2004, winner of the British Academy’s Rose Mary Crawshay Prize) and Wilberforce: Family and Friends (2012), both published by Oxford University Press.
