This unravelling of all the razzamatazz surrounding Prinny's repudiation of his wife leads to a greater understanding of the rise of the forces of the press and public opinion, and how by influencing each other pressure was put on the political and social issues of the day. This royal sex scandal threatened to trigger a revolution; Caroline became the 'People's Princess' long before Diana. A watershed in British history for the power of the press and its influence on politics.
