It offers detailed insights into the personal and political challenges faced during her time, capturing the complex dynamics of royalty and governance in 18th-century Europe. The opening of the volume focuses on the trial of Count Brandt, detailing the serious charges against him, including assault on the king and complicity in Struensee's alleged treasonous acts.
