CHAPTER XX SUMMING UP AND LAST SUGGESTIONS TN the giddy waltz of interrogations round this mystery of the Fair Quaker, we find one more persistent and baffling than all the rest--the question: Why did Hannah disappear? And the only conceivable answer to this involves her marriage with the Prince of Wales. If we argue that it is no very common thing for a girl to vanish from her friends in London; if we adopt the implication of a common tragedy, murder, suicide, or moral wreckage, we are immediately faced by Pearne's will, by the Testimony of Denial, and her portrait at Knole Park. Pearne's will is dated 26th January, 1757, and it would be unreasonable to suppose that he would leave her money without first ascertaining she was alive. The Testimony of Denial by the Friends was brought against her in 1756, and they must also have known her to be living then. The portrait was painted, obviously, a good deal later. The face is not that of a girl, but of a matured woman, and one who has suffered; the dress is of extreme richness and elegance. It is thus impossible to believe that she died, or was lost in London's maelstrom of shame, immediately after her marriage with Axford. And if she had been merely the Prince's mistress, why should a secrecy so profound have been preserved about her? Such a relation would not have been regarded too seriously by the guardians of the young Prince; it would have presented no difficult problem, no menace to the nation. George's grandfather, his father, his uncles, and later on his sons, indulged in liaisons of the kind without let or hindrance, and why should not George? As a virtuous father of forty-six, as we have seen, his chief concern about his eldest son's connection with Mary Robinson was lest she...

This book was released on 2023-12-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is nothing new under the sun', a phrase ascribed originally to King Solomon, applies to the present book, with echoes of 'modern' themes exposing royal scandal, sex, corruption, political absolutism - attempted - religious controversy, danger of mass-terrorism, murder and 'suspicious' deaths, 'fake news' and international threat from superpowers. And all focusing on inside stories which today would be 'investigative journalism' with huge popular media interest. This is history for both specialists and, especially, for general readers, given media interest, including TV and film coverage in 'exciting' popular history, as set out by the author. The earlier 'Royal Mysteries' in the series were full of tragedy, suffering, pathos, heroism and romance, but the present set are equally interesting and disturbing and revisionist. These include the alleged attempt to murder James I and VI before the became King of England; the scandal at court involving 'poisoned tarts', James' 'toy-boy', and a subsequent murder trial. And the following questions and mysteries: did Charles II really promise to convert to Catholicism to please Louis XIV; did Charles marry his mistress Lucy Walter, mother of rebel Duke of Monmouth; was James II and VII an enlightened religious reformer or trying to convert England to Catholicism - the religion of European superpowers; did George I 'disappear' (a 'hit' in modern terms) his divorced wife's lover before ascending the English throne; did the unpopular Duke of Cumberland murder his gay lover; did the hugely admired 'respectable' George III, devoted husband and father, marry a middle-class Quaker woman?
