I 1765 a four-year-old orphan boy is bundled into a carriage with a woman he doesn't know and taken to the Royal Palace at Richmond to be a playmate for the three-year old Prince George, son of King George III and Queen Charlotte. But what is the child's secret connection to the King? Prince George & Master Frederick follows the lives of Prince George, future Regent and King, and Frederick Blomberg, the boy who was brought up like a prince within the royal household. Although Prince George and Master Frederick pursued different paths in life - Prince George gained a reputation as a spendthrift and womaniser and Master Frederick became an eccentric parish priest - the two remained closely bonded, especially during the tumultuous years of the King's madness and Prince George's role as regent In bringing to life the story of an intriguing, and little-known member of the Georgian Royal Family who has been hiding in plain sight all these years, Prince George & Master Frederick cleverly blends fact and fiction to create a compelling and moving story of royal friends and secret brothers.

Autorenporträt
Rosalind started her career as a book publicist and went on to promote a variety of arts organisations including the London Philharmonic Orchestra and several high-profile charities. While her family was young she established her own consultancy before becoming a director within a PR Agency working in the fields of art, design, retail and architecture. In 2002, Rosalind followed her childhood dream and went to City & Guilds of London Art School, acquiring a Higher Diploma in Fine Art. However, having learnt how to paint in oils, she found herself drawn to paper collage and concentrated on that medium. She is now a commercially successful artist, regularly exhibiting and showcasing her work. She was prompted to write Prince George & Master Frederick after investigating a family story suggesting that she might, in some way, be related to George III. Researching the real-life history of Frederick Blomberg was so fascinating that she was compelled to write this novel. This is her first published work. Rosalind lives in north London, is married to Simon Battersby, a film editor, has four grown-up daughters and five grandchildren.
