George IV, the Prince of Wales, spent the majority of his life eagerly anticipating his ascension to the throne. During his father, George III's sixty-year reign, he was known for his pleasure-loving and rebellious nature, while serving as the Prince Regent for ten years after his father's mental decline. Despite the monotony of his days, George sought to fill them with joy and indulgence, encompassing various pursuits such as women, art, food, wine, fashion, and architecture. He played a significant role in shaping the Regency style, which became synonymous with the era, and he was considered one of the most artistically literate kings alongside Charles I.
However, despite his lavish lifestyle and excesses, George's life ended tragically, with him dying alone and unmourned. Stella Tillyard, in her book, has approached the subject with a human touch and an enjoyable narrative, shedding light on the enigmatic and captivating life of this remarkable British monarch.
