'The writing is accessible but detailed, with a nice mix of narrative drive and scholarly insight. This book offers a more intimate, human portrait of Charles'
—from a review by Chelsea D

But agh, sorry!
I was playing this & realised I say here that in exile Charles sought to wed Protestants only, but there were exceptions later in the exile. I should have clarified.
I wouldn't mind so much if it were amusing, but I can't even do decent #bloopers. 😂

So shouldn't it look like this?
Instead it apparently looks like Mr Bean (see cover).

My research for this book fascinated me, particularly re Charles II's #mentalhealth & developing views.
Young Charles was in private turmoil while his public persona shone.

Glad Carolina & her father are mutually supportive. I also like the potential husbands! And 'laughed England back to life' – yeah, baby!👍😂
Now, does she fancy men or women?

If he'd developed differently, they may not have invited him.
And they knew he was, as you say, a little dodgy.

A ship fails to come & rescue fugitive #CharlesII. At an inn he's waited all night. Now he kisses the landlady 🤨 & leaves, disguised. He doesn't hear an onlooker identify him.
Charles is off to Bridport, but rage leads him to such 'rudeness', he takes a big risk.

Louis was younger in reality than here, but Mazarin would certainly have been busy if Charles I had got to Saint-Germain in 1648.

Rupert has more mentions than I thought. As do:
nasty Richard Grenville
drunken Henry Wilmot
bold uprisings/insurgence
(indexing = hard work)
