The full episode is only available to paid subscribers of My Life in the Past
Rich, cosseted, and — by their own account — miserable enough to consider almost anything to escape.
∙ Paid
One eighteenth-century princess was so desperate to escape palace life she said she'd even have married a baboon. The fiancé she ended up with had breath that was apparently an even worse fate.
Here’s my new post on the difficulties of life as a Georgian princess!
It gives a flavour of my new book QUEENS AND KINGS, AN UNUSUALLY PERSONAL HISTORY, which is published very soon now, on 3 September.
