Charles Bazalgette  //  I have been researching the life of my gggggfr Louis Bazalgette for about 16 years now. He was tailor to the Prince of Wales, later George IV.

The manuscript of his biography, which I hope to publish this year, is at present being edited.

These blogs are partly extracts from the book and partly different angles on Louis and his relationship with the Prince, some of which have ended up in the book too.

Louis is completely unknown and the fact that he was Prinny's tailor for 32 years is almost completely unrecorded in books. This is a good thing for me, as the material is mostly very fresh, and hopefully will be new and intriguing to those who are interested in Prinny and in Georgian London.
Watch this space.
