The film, Young Victoria, is supposedly based on this book by Kate Williams. The first half of the book is about Princess Charlotte and her mother- Caroline. We learn how the death of Charlotte shaped Victoria's reign and England. It is well written, cleverly informative and filled with quotes, without being boring or overly researched. It also has several pages of colour pictures which are well-captioned and useful.
