Europe 1 Studio SEASON 2021 - 202207:00 a.m., April 07, 2022
From 1788, the reign of George III of England took a new turn.
Insomnia, hallucination, delusions, gesticulations… He gradually sinks into an astonishing madness.
In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of history", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach continues the portrait of the English sovereign.
When he begins to lose his footing, no one can explain the extravagant attitude of the monarch.
His entourage is amazed and it becomes more and more difficult to hide the madness of the king.
In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of History", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach is interested in the real reasons for the apparent madness of George III of England.
