A forgotten Prince of Wales by Henry Curties
"A Forgotten Prince of Wales" by Captain Henry Curties is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life of Frederick, Prince of Wales, the often-overlooked son of King George II, exploring the complex relationships and events surrounding his upbringing and the political dynamics of the time. The opening of the book introduces Prince Frederick's birth in Hanover in February 1707, highlighting the tensions between his parents—especially
his father, who expressed disdain for him from the very beginning. It delves into the secrecy surrounding his birth and the implications that followed, as his parents navigated their own tumultuous relationship and the intricate world of the Hanoverian court. The writing presents a vivid picture of the circumstances surrounding Frederick's early years, detailing his lonely childhood and hints at the factors contributing to his strained relationship with his parents, setting the stage for the unfolding drama in his life as he grows up amid political intrigue and familial neglect.
