Summary/Abstract: In 1809 the British public was scandalized by the affair of the Duke of York with Marry Anne Clarke. Rumors of the affair spread so widely that the story was articulated very widely in Britain for more than three months. The reputation of the Hanoverian prince was badly damaged by the testimony given forward by Mrs. Clarke. While the second son of King George III was Commander in Chief of the British Army at that time, the story was not only a public scandal, but rather a political crisis for the whole nation. News about corruption, debauchery and intrigues flooded the press, and this whole matter put the integrity of the national leaders to the challenge. Nevertheless, the outcome of the affair underwent a dramatic and unexpected turn.
