Queen Charlotte Sophia Summary

Queen Charlotte Sophia: A Royal Affair by Tina Andrews

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.

From a German backwater to the capital city of the most prolific Empire in the world, we journey with Queen Charlotte as she tries to discover the truth of her family's secret heritage, guided by an amulet and wooden chest left to her upon her father's death. Armed with a birthmark and bearing a complexion that reveals her silenced lineage, Queen Charlotte charges through the royal court of London, seeking answers, making allies and guarding secrets.

With the weight of the amulet around her neck, Queen Charlotte learns what happens when love and legacy are at odds. On one side, is her secret true love Johann Christian Bach and the passionate life he offers, and on the other, her husband King George III and the impactful life her relationship with him provides.

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.

Queen Charlotte Sophia Reviews

Queen Charlotte Sophia - A Royal Affair is a beautifully written novel, rich in detail. This sweeping tale bridges kingdoms, countries, and lives. It is full of rumours and secrets that must be hidden at all costs. Tina Andrews takes us on quite a journey as Charlotte travels to England to become George 111's Queen. Andrews adroitly brings alive complicated histories through the eyes of imperfect but resilient characters and leaves us thirsty for more. Queen Charlotte's story of romance and intrigue continues to fascinate us and Andrews has written an important historical novel with an excellent eye for accuracy. This is a novel that must not be ignored. -- Anni Domingo
...This novel may very well be telling the truth of the story of England's first black Queen... It's extraordinary and wonderful... -- Whoopi Goldberg
Andrews' Charlotte Sophia becomes a wily, cunning woman learning to navigate her arranged marriage to mad King George III who had no knowledge of her Moorish roots until their wedding night. I could hardly wait to read what Charlotte did next! -- Charisse Jones
A compelling examination of the life of the German princess of color and Knights Templar descendant forced to hide her identity to ensure her power as she ascends to the seat of British queen consort. A thrilling page-turner. -- Sharon D. Johnson, Ph.D.
