British historian Andrew Roberts tonight at Mount Vernon (George Washington's home) in a discussion about his new book, The Last King of America: The Misunderstood Reign of George III. He discussed the British political situation, George's education, his relationship with his parents, his views of the American Revolution, how he modernized the monarchy, his approval of the new USA (comments to John Adams), the problems with Prinny, and most important, emphatically stating that George III did not have porphyria, but was bipolar, as based on numerous recent medical articles.
Interesting to learn that Mount Vernon has a relationship with the Royal Archives and with King's College in London.
I cannot wait to read it. Copies were available for sale and Andrew signed the copies afterward.
