In an atmosphere of abolition and revolution, Queen Charlotte Sophia, Britain's most famous (possibly) mixed-race Princess comes alive in this reimagined story of her life where romance, adventure and politics collide. Newly crowned King George III must marry, but he can't wed the woman he loves - Catholic Lady Sarah Lennox. Thus a search begins for an appropriate German Protestant royal.For years Charlotte has hidden her ethnicity using white Elizabethan makeup to help her title-rich but cash-poor family survive. An opportunity to marry the British king is one that she can't pass up, but Charlotte is also in love with someone else - the talented but poor commoner, Johann Christian Bach (son of JS Bach).Does King George give up Lady Sarah? Will Queen Charlotte ever see Bach again? And what of her family secret and quest for answers?A daughter. A lover. A fighter. A Queen. Tina Andrews's Queen Charlotte Sophia: A Royal Affair, offers a fantastic portrait of a woman, whose life continues to fascinate the world.
