Summary "Memoirs of the Court and Cabinets of George the Third" by the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work presents a detailed examination of the political landscape during the reign of King George III, focusing on personal letters and original family documents to provide insight into the inner workings of the monarchy and government. The narrative explores the complexities of politics, especially during times of crisis, revealing the tensions and negotiations that shaped this era. The opening of the memoirs sets the stage for a tumultuous period surrounding the King's illness in 1788. It describes the atmosphere of uncertainty as the country's leadership grapples with the implications of the King's deteriorating health. The narrative includes correspondence between key political figures, reflecting their concerns and strategies regarding the potential regency of the Prince of Wales.
