Sarah Wilson: Fake British Princess
Manage episode 330359480 series 3319589
You might have heard of Anna Delvey, or the Tinder Swindler but what if we told you, 250 years ago...a lowly English maid named Sarah Wilson made these modern imposters look like a bunch of amateurs. Throughout the 1770's, Sarah Wilson traveled the American colonies ripping off the ultra rich, even rubbing up against our Founding Fathers by pretending to be her royal highness Princess Sophia Carolina Augusta, sister to the Queen of England. The history books might have forgotten about this fascinating rapscallion, but we sure haven't.
