Hunky George resents his Kingly duty to nation and Empire, hopelessly yearning instead to live out his days hoeing the land. Really, their union is a trade deal between the two nations – orchestrated by Charlotte’s elder brother and George’s fearsome mother – that neither bride nor groom wants any part in.
