Was writing about Cartagena forbidden in Britain?

Did the British king forbid historians from writing about the embarrassing defeat at Cartagena?

The royal-ban story is rejected; limited coverage probably reflects embarrassment over repeated amphibious failures.

The story that the king prohibited histories of Cartagena is rejected. Its limited place in British historical memory is instead explained tentatively as embarrassment over another badly mishandled amphibious operation. Gallipoli provides the comparison: British forces had previously warned defenders through repeated attacks before committing their main force. This is an interpretation of selective historical memory, rather than evidence of a royal censorship order.
