Saturday-Night Theatre: The King's Wife
Mon 20th Jun 1988, 15:00 on BBC Radio 4 FM

By John Wyke with Robert Stephens as the Prince of Wales and Maureen O'Brien as Mrs Fitzherbert

1783: the Prince of Wales is a passionate but wholly irresponsible young man whose eye for a fair lady and penchant for dalliance is common knowledge. But when he falls for the pretty widow, Maria Fitzherbert, he surprises everyone by being more passionate and more sincere than could ever have been imagined. But although she's a virtuous woman, she's also a Catholic, and their marriage is unthinkable.
