Diary of the Times of George IV Volume 1 Section 1. London is very full, and the Duchess of Gordon has had some good assemblies. The Princess of Wales lives quietly; never has above four or five people at dinner, and has quite given up going to the play, though she owns, she considers this is a very great privation. I have been teased into promising to put together some showy spectacle for Covent-Garden; and the Princess insists on its not being produced before Easter Monday, as she says that till then she has no hopes of being allowed to visit the theatre.
