Welcome! I'm Kate Williams, author of England's Mistress: the Infamous Life of Emma Hamilton, Book of the Week on Radio 4, a Book of the Year in the Times and the Independent, and shortlisted for the Marsh/English Speaking Union prize for Biography, 2005-6. My second book, Becoming Queen, exploring Princess Charlotte, the Queen who never was, and the passionate youth of Queen Victoria is out on 11 September 2008. I am currently filming a BBC2 Timewatch on the book, to be broadcast in September.
