Author’s NoteThe Prince Regent liked young bucks and beaux around him, but as he grew older his extravagant parties at Carlton House began to bore him.
The long drawn-out dinners with a great number of entrées from the Prince Regent’s French chefs did not compensate for the lack of stimulating conversation that had been so much a part of the years when Mrs. Fitzherbert was the hostess.
The Marchioness of Hertford and later the Marchioness of Coyningham were inclined to monopolise the guests’ attention to their own advantage.
However, Carlton House was a brilliant contrast compared to the gloom and darkness that surrounded Buckingham Palace and no matter how old and fat the Prince Regent became, he was still very witty and had an eye for a beautiful painting and a beautiful woman.
