I was provided a kindle copy of this book by NetGalley for the purpose of posting my honest opinion.

I could not put it down. Princess Charlotte was born between a rock and a hard place. His father was self indulgent, self absorbed and had decided ahead of time, the wife chosen for him would never be honored or loved. His wife, a sheltered young woman who had little knowledge of her future role in history or even how to care for her own personal hygiene. For years, Princess Charlotte was manipulated between her parents and grandparents. Her grandfather was George III of England, who floated in and out of sanity. In spite of her horrible past, she found the courage to insist on choosing her own husband rather than accept the one her father tried to force on her.

Should things have gone differently, there might never have been a Queen Victoria. Queen Charlotte might have been known for her bravery, her care of the poor and the love of her family.
