| Summary | "Secret History of the Court of England, from the Accession of George the Third" by Lady Anne Hamilton is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work details the tumultuous reign of George III and his son, George IV, focusing particularly on the intricacies of court life, political intrigue, and the significant events surrounding the royal family, especially the controversial treatment of Queen Caroline. The author aims to shed light on the darker aspects of royal governance and its implications for the subjects. The opening of this historical account sets the stage with the coronation of George IV, highlighting the refusal of his wife, Queen Caroline, to be allowed entry into the coronation ceremony. It captures the perceived neglect and dishonor shown towards the queen, underlining her struggles as an individual caught in the political machinations of the time. The narrative further suggests that the queen's supporters were inadequately represented at this pivotal moment, revealing her isolation amid the broader societal and familial tensions. Lady Hamilton also reflects on the implications of these events, hinting at the importance of these court dynamics on public sentiment and royal legitimacy.
