Sinopsis
Debate over a royal marriage and what it means for a nation This edition presents a provocative letter arguing that a marriage between the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert was not only possible, but constitutional and beneficial in history’s view of succession and sovereignty.
In clear, accessible prose, the author weighs public opinion, religious opinion, and political precedent. He contrasts popular imagination with long‑standing practices of royal unions and the lessons of European history to argue for a broader view of propriety and obligation.

- Understand the tension between private lives and public duties in monarchy

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a controversial topic that captivated 18th-century England: the secret marriage of the Prince of Wales to Maria Fitzherbert. The author, a keen observer of the political and social landscape, meticulously dissects the complex web of legal arguments, societal prejudices, and political machinations surrounding this union. Through a series of impassioned letters, the author exposes the hypocrisy of the ruling class, who condemned the marriage on grounds of both propriety and legality. He argues against the notion that a sovereign could not marry a subject, citing historical precedent and demonstrating that such a union posed no threat to national security. He further dismantles the legal arguments used to invalidate the marriage, highlighting the absurdity of laws that sought to restrict the natural right of individuals to choose their partners. The author's eloquent and insightful analysis offers a powerful commentary on the clash between tradition and individual liberty in a period marked by political and social upheaval. This book remains a fascinating exploration of a historical scandal that continues to resonate with modern readers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
