Impressive how this couple managed to produce a princess so beloved.....

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Remarkable! Thanks Anastasia 😊

[@lisetteeliseparis7070]

A very favorite Princess of mine - thank you!

[@michelleskeats2813]

This is really good. The only thing I would add to this is that aside from Caroline's appearance and personal hygiene, she did not exactly find her new husband entirely a catch either. She had also made comments that he was different to his portrait and was incredibly overweight.

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Thank you Michelle 😊

[@thiccredgyal3404]

He pretty much Catfished her with paintings. I think both of them did that .

[@fionabologna1768]

Awesome channel! So glad I found it. It's a chilly, rainy day, perfect for some binge watching. Thanks!

I learned so much about George IV that I had never known before! Gobsmackedly shocking 😳! 😳! Both of George and Carolina were absolute clanging disasters! I am amazed that the country of England didn't fall apart! My honest opinion would probably result in me being put into prison! So tragic about their daughter Charlotte, especially the badly bungled management of her giving birth to a stillborn son. 😭

[@HistoryRoadshow]

He was a very unpopular monarch add Caroline to the mix and chaos ruled! Thanks Cassandra 😊

[@tc2334]

From The Times upon the death of George IV, "There never was an individual less regretted by his fellow-creatures than this deceased king. What eye has wept for him? What heart has heaved one throb of unmercenary sorrow? ... If he ever had a friend - a devoted friend in any rank of life - we protest that the name of him or her never reached us."

[@DONUTBUZZCUT]

Just like Prince Charles and Diana!

[@trishjohnson9114]

Wow! She was her own worst enemy. Another great video!!!

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Thank you Trish 😊

[@Anita-rq9ev]

Thank you Jon 😊 another personality I knew nothing about. Love your video style, it's a a visual treat. Have a good weekend 👋

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Glad you enjoyed it Anita thanks 😊

Only half of that was what I was taught in school. such as it was King George III upon learning of his son's secret marriage ordered his son to dismiss the woman or face financial ruin. And that he never saw Fitzherbert again. But to get Parliament to pay his debts off, he married Caroline whom they had chose for him. That is what were taught, I guess History is written by different men each with their own version.

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Spot on Nana. History has always been rewritten over the years and everyone assumes to tell the definitive story. Although we will never know the whole truth it's what makes history fascinating and very debatable. Thanks 😊

[@robertdudley4017]

This lady certainly lived one hell of a life, her lifestyle left a lot to be desired, but George was no better certainly not marriage made in heaven, thank you Jon as always. 👍😊

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Life and a half! Thanks Robert 😊

[@denisedanks6072]

Oh yes, they seemed to deserve each other 🤪

[@robertdudley4017]

@@denisedanks6072 yes Denise, they wernt the perfect couple neither as people or parents.

[@alisonridout]

Thanks Jon. This was an apt video for me as I watched The Madness of King George this other night. (George III). Happy weekend 😊

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Glad you enjoyed it Alison, have a great weekend too 😊

[@annfisher3316]

Again, many thanks for such interesting videos Jon. These encourage more research on the people and eras, knowledge is power!

[@HistoryRoadshow]

You hit the nail on the head Ann! It's always been my way to introduce people to the characters. Hopefully they can then find out more themselves.

[@maryannbernal]

Great refresher. Informative as always; keep it up.

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Thanks Mary Ann 😊

[@brigidmartin]

Thank you. The story of these two is more outrageous than the couple in the 80’s😉👍

[@HistoryRoadshow]

It certainly makes you wonder! Thanks Brigid 😊

[@funnytime13]

Good afternoon Jon, awesome as usual..thanks again!

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Thanks Cheryl 😊

[@Lisette777]

Jon, you really shine at story telling. There was certainly no lack of material here! Yikes! But then one must remember - they were only royals due to the accident of birth - they didn't, and don't, spring forth from the womb, ready for their duty. They were and are just human beings, like everyone else, frequently ill-disposed due to natural character. Still and all, these two really take the cake! 🙀

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Thanks Lisette, much appreciated 😊

[@MsCharley13]

Brillant. Thank you for another most interesting video.

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Thanks Charlotte 😊

[@jodeeps2287]

Thank you for putting out such great informative videos. I appreciate your channel and you very much 😊

[@HistoryRoadshow]

That's very kind of you JoDee 😊

[@janetpugliesi3203]

Wow..just great!!! So much in depth detail always learn much.. thanks Jon for all your great research!!!!

[@HistoryRoadshow]

My pleasure Janet, enjoy your weekend 😊

[@diandraazevedo7002]

the videos just keep getting better

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Much appreciated Diandra 😊

[@kathrynmast916]

Poor Caroline! She was used and abused by George and his harpy🫤

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Thanks Kathryn 😊

[@iriswaterford8881]

Kathryn & Jon do you think she had a mental illness. I think George was in love with his first wife & if living a normal/common life would have stayed married. His nasty mistress was no help. Thank you again for another great video.

[@chykim1]

So she could travel to England to be queen, but could go to her daughters wedding or funeral. Pathetic!!

[@janedee6488]

One of your best videos. She was indeed an injured lady but she didn’t help matters by being unwashed. Yikes.

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Thank you Jane. It's a truly fascinating story, hard to picture how bad things were back in the day! 😊

[@chykim1]

George almost fainted when he saw her😂😂😂

[@HistoryRoadshow]

She must have took his breath away! 😊

[@sirwelch9991]

Much more capable than George IV could ever have been.

[@winfredstacy5843]

Oh Jon....those crazy, funny Hanoverians!! Caroline was disappointed in George's appearance and he her smell. There is a comic quality to the whole situation. She stinks, he's ugly. She has the sh#ts and he is loaded. I have to chuckle. Thanks so much!!

[@HistoryRoadshow]

It's a complete farce from beginning to end Winfred! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@alisonhill3941]

Caroline was Queen of the United Kingdom, not Queen of England.

[@raumaanking]

Hi I was going to ask do you think in your opinion Cathrine Howard was innocent

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Innocent of what Raumaan?

[@raumaanking]

Well based on her life and how she was an abused child and based on her cheating with Henry the 8 and the fact she wasn’t exactly royal material how did Henry Expect from a child that did not grow up in a good environment taken advantage and Henry was like what on his late 40s at this point and Catherine Howard a teenager she had a full life ahead of her but because of her past with other men lead to her downfall I think she is still innocent and she was an abused child that’s what I mean in my opinion I think Cathrine Howard is innocent

[@lisalking2476]

I agree Catherine was an abuised innocent child,God rest her sole

[@raumaanking]

@@lisalking2476 and she wasn’t that rich or understood education nor the job role of royalty
