Abstract

Queen Charlotte’s account book for part of 1789 is transcribed and annotated for the first time from her manuscript in the Royal Archives. It records payments made during the royal family’s seaside vacation in Wey-mouth and payments made after their return to Windsor. Almost all the payees mentioned in the book are identified.
