In 1765 a four-year-old orphan boy is bundled into a
carriage with a woman he doesn't know and taken to the Royal Palace at Richmond
to be a playmate for the three-year old Prince George, son of King George III
and Queen Charlotte. What is his secret connection to the King?
Cleverly blending fact and fiction, Prince George &
Master Frederick is a compelling Georgian Royal Family saga following the lives
of Prince George, future Regent and King, and his adopted secret brother,
Master Frederick Blomberg.
As heir to the throne, Prince George grows up to be a greedy
and extravagant pleasure-seeker, indulging in romantic liaisons and lavish
building projects, such as the Brighton Pavilion. By contrast, Master Frederick
was sent to Cambridge, to study Divinity and, once ordained, was appointed
Chaplain to the Royal Family at Windsor Castle and Private Secretary to Prince
George.
Although Prince George and Master Frederick pursue different
paths in life, the brothers remained bonded by friendship and a shared love of
music. As talented musicians they played duets for violin and cello at concerts in Royal
Residences. Frederick Blomberg became renowned as an 'eccentric parish priest'
who entertained his congregation by playing his fiddle during church services.
Frederick Blomberg remained close to the Royal Family
throughout the tumultuous years of King George III's madness. He was a witness
to Prince George's affairs, a secret wedding and his disastrous official
marriage to Caroline of Brunswick.
After ten years as Prince Regent, Prince George was crowned
King in 1820. The monarch's friendship with Frederick endured until King George
IV's death in 1830 aged sixty-eight.
