Reviews
In this serious, substantial book, Fraser quotes sensitively from confidential letters ... keeping expert control over her material', 'A real-life Regency tale, full of cads, bounders, elopements, affairs, madness, illegitimate offspring, tragedies and comedies, all within a scholarly tome', 'This reviewer...is impressed by the amount of work undertaken, especially in the Royal Archives, to give these often patronised Princesses a fair treatment. She has done much to correct centuries of neglect and to show that there was much more to them than either their contemporaries or historians have thought'., 'In the course of her research, Flora Fraser developed for all six princesses 'the greastest respect and admiration'. One of the achievements of Princesses is to inspire in the reader similar emotions.', 'Unprecedented access to the sisters' letters... [support] a richly-textured narrative... In Flora Fraser they find the sensitive biographer they deserve'

Synopsis
On the surface the sisters were busy, accomplished girls, but the real story beneath their composed image was quite different - no one who reads Princesses will ever look in the same way again at the calm, composed women in Gainsborough's portraits. The king may have believed that his six daughters were happy to live celibately with him and Queen Charlotte at Windsor, but secretly, as Flora Fraser's absorbing narrative of royal repression and sexual licence shows, the sisters enjoyed startling freedom. The historical searchlight has been turned with great intensity and sympathy on George III and his family, and the sweep of history between the Regency and Victorian eras. Flora Fraser has written an extraordinary (and surprisingly modern) story with real authority, wit and elegance., On the surface the sisters were busy, accomplished girls, but the real story beneath their composed image was quite different - no one who reads Princesses will ever look in the same way again at the calm, composed women in Gainsborough's portraits. The King may have believed that his six daughters were happy to live celibately with him and Queen Charlotte at Windsor, but secretly, as Flora Fraser's absorbing narrative of royal repression and sexual licence shows, the sisters enjoyed startling freedom. The historical searchlight has been turned with great intensity and sympathy on George III and his family, and the sweep of history between the Regency and Victorian eras. Flora Fraser has written an extraordinary (and surprisingly modern) story with real authority, wit and elegance., A wholly absorbing insight into the six daughters of George III, whose outwardly repressed lives were a cover for scandal and intrigue between closed doors.
