With a 4.6-star rating from 279 readers, this historical narrative offers an immersive look at 18th-century British royalty and their influential courtiers. ## Description In the eighteenth century, the palace's most elegant assembly room was in fact a bloody battlefield. This was a world of skulduggery, politicking, wigs and beauty-spots, where fans whistled open like flick-knives... Ambitious 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. Review: Slow - It is interesting but very slow...a year later and I haven't finished it, keep dipping in&out. It doesn't seem to hold my attention. Review: Superbly written book about Georgian court life - This extensively written book covers the lives of George I, George II, their families and courtiers in London's Kensington Palace thoroughly. Lucy Worseley is a superb writer and researcher. This book took many years to write and her knowledge of even the least important courtier is amazing. The reigns of the two Georges which cover the early and mid 18th century are fascinating and these monarchs have been given short shrift by historians. Dr. Worseley goes into great detail about their wives and, most importantly, their mistresses who influenced their lives, and Britain's history more than I ever knew. I strongly recommend this wonderful book to anyone interested in this part of British history. ## Features - FABER & FABER ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #237,764 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #31 in Historic Architecture Preservation #694 in Building Architecture #2,594 in World History | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 279 Reviews | ## Images ![Courtiers: The Secret History of the Georgian Court - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ewmZNONAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ Slow *by R***E on 19 February 2021* It is interesting but very slow...a year later and I haven't finished it, keep dipping in&out.

She takes a slightly different tack and instead of the traditional straight narrative she approaches the subject in a different manner. In this case she discussed the Georgian period by talking about individuals in a painting in Kensington Palace. You are informed about the period but in a, to my mind, delightful way. She used the similar "different" method of approach in Cavalier writing about the period of the Great Revolution. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/292233216-courtiers-the-secret-history-of-the-georgian-court](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/292233216-courtiers-the-secret-history-of-the-georgian-court) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-14*
