Fascinating account both the life (and death) of the Princess Charlotte and the early years of the cousin born after her death, who would go on to become Queen Victoria. Very interesting to read how the death of one Princess, who Britain so fervently hoped would provide the nation a stable future, directly led to the birth of the woman who would go on to be England's longest-reigning monarch with an undeniable and lingering impact on history.
A surprisingly quick read, I found this book to be both entertaining and informative. Highly recommended!

If you liked the movie "Young Victoria", this was even better.
