This was a world of skulduggery, politicking, wigs and beauty-spots, where fans whistled open like flick-knives...\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAmbitious and talented people flocked to court of George II and Queen Caroline in search of power and prestige, but Kensington Palace was also a gilded cage. Successful courtiers needed level heads and cold hearts; their secrets were never safe. Among them, a Vice Chamberlain with many vices, a Maid of Honour with a secret marriage, a pushy painter, an alcoholic equerry, a Wild Boy, a penniless poet, a dwarf comedian, two mysterious turbaned Turks and any number of discarded royal mistresses.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'The kind of captivating history I most enjoy: full of unexpected stories.
