Collection | George IV Calendar as Prince, Regent and King |
Description | The Prince describes the political danger that Princess Caroline poses, both due to her own 'wicked, mischievous intriguing head', and the likelihood that she will 'positively usurp the whole power of the country, force it into her own hands or into those of the wicked set of whom she would be the tool, leaving me almost without a friend'. He states that 'if I fall all must fall also', and that the King must 'take a decided tone to the Princess, to his Ministers & to the world in general'. Endorsed 'To be made what use of you please dearest mother, but on no account to be destroyed'. Signed. |
