The future George IV was publicly denounced as a libertine and companion of gamblers because his amours were as notorious and extravagant as his building projects. Levy entertains us with the (sometimes difficult) lives and fascinating personalities of the five mistresses - actress Mary Robinson (whose memoirs are below.), Maria Fitzherbert (whom the king secretly married), Lady Jersey, Lady Hertford, and Lady Conyngham, the companion of his final years.
