Becoming Queen by Kate Williams

4.0

This didn't have nearly enough of Princess Charlotte's life as I had hoped in it, but that could be because of two reasons: (1) there just isn't a whole lot written about her life - the information is there, but she is mostly seen as being the one whose death changed the course of the British monarchy to what we know of it today and (2) she didn't lead a very interesting life at all, as she was sheltered and hidden away from her mother by the Prince Regent, who didn't pay any attention to her either. This, however, is a decent view of her life and death and how it shaped the Princess Victoria's view of the monarchy and of childbirth.
