“The consorts of this collection lived during periods of considerable domestic, global, and monarchic change. That the monarchy has survived to the present is testament to its ability to navigate the challenges of the previous two centuries successfully. ... This collection builds a clear picture of the changes that have occurred within the monarchy since the eighteenth-century. It is a highly valuable collection, one which has broken ground for future research in eminently interesting and often understudied consorts.” (Amy-Jane Humphries, Royal Studies Journal, Vol. 11 (2), 2024)
