'The Secret History of the Court of England' is an interesting and informative read. It is not often you read a primary source that is full of gossip and hearsay, while explicitly challenging royal rule. I enjoyed the language and turn of phrase, which together, with tidbits of salacious gossip, sounded like an extract of 'Bridgerton'. However, the author's passion to underscore royal corruption and excesses did begin to feel repetitive. This book is a great read for a historian passionate about the regency era and an insightful way to gain an 'insider's' perspective on events that took place during the reign of King George III and IV.
