BBC Radio 4 - The Stuarts, Charlotte Stuart: The Last Stuart

Mike Walker's epic chronicle of the Stuarts concludes with the story of Charlotte Stuart.

Is Charlotte Stuart, illegitimate daughter of Bonnie Prince Charlie, as ruthlessly driven as her Stuart predecessors? Or is she the final tragic victim of the Stuart curse?

By Mike Walker

At the age of 31, Charlotte Stuart left behind three children and a protector to live with her estranged father Charles Edward Stuart, a hopeless alcoholic who had abused her mother, refused to acknowledge her and whom she had not seen since she was seven. What was it that Charlotte wanted that led her to sacrifice so much? Or had she fallen victim to the curse of the Stuarts, a curse that had plagued the dynasty since Mary Queen of Scots, and had now sought out its latest and final victim? With Kate O'Flynn, David Troughton and Tim McMullen.

Director - Sasha Yevtushenko.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
