The Hanoverian Queens & Consorts of The United Kingdom 7/8

The German Hanoverian Queens of Great Britain and later the United Kingdom had some of the most epic royal matrimonial brawls in history. One brought enlightenment thinking to court. One was dear friends with Marie Antoinette and endured her husband’s decades of madness. And one got locked out of her husband’s coronation. The Hanoverian Queens consort were:
Sophia Dorothea of Celle (not technically a Queen but we have to talk about the wife who was imprisoned for life after her lover was murdered)
Caroline of Ansbach
Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz
Caroline of Brunswick
Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen
Watch the whole series now: / lindsayholiday
The lives of the many Kings and handful of Queens Regnant who have held dominion over the kingdom of England, and later the United Kingdom take center stage in history. But the lives of their spouses and mothers are often relegated to the wings. In this series we will learn the stories of the many Queens Consort and the handful of male consorts who have been at the monarchs’ sides. Through love, hate, adultery and sometimes murder these women and men have played vital roles in the history of England.

In a way George loved his daughters a little too much as it made him extremely reluctant to arrange marriages for them and let them leave the family home. Certainly George wanted to protect them from enduring unhappy marriages like his sisters Augusta and Caroline Matilda had to, but at the same time keeping them as confined spinisters made them bitter and resentful.

It’s also hypocritical because they claim to be followers of Jesus but seem to just skip over everything that says adultery is forbidden and will not go unpunished. So that “rule” that all kings must have a mistress is politically pointless and goes against the teachings they claim to follow so devotedly.

The marriage of George IV and Caroline of Brunswick is definitely one of the worst in history - it got so bad that after a few years they couldn't even be in the same room as each other. They were often so caught up in fighting one another that their daughter Charlotte was left to feel lonely and unloved - George would try at every turn to prevent Caroline access to the girl but would not make the effort to form a close bond with her either. Likewise, Caroline's wild behaviour embarrassed Charlotte and she complained that her mother seemed to prefer her adoptive children than to her own flesh and blood.

26:40 Henry VIII referred to them as “ducky’s” 🤣

Phew!Didnt have to wait until the morning

[@celiaarellano238]

U should do one of France , Russia ,Spain like to know more about that!!!

[@jeandehuit5385]

Spain would be a monster, as you'd have to cover the Kingdoms of Leon, Pamplona (later Navarre), Castile, & Aragon. Oftentimes one or two were in a personal union, but most of the time they weren't. Even so, all of them were related to begin with & kept intermarrying until basically the present-day. Portugal would be a separate story, as they did not ultimately become a part of the Spanish union, but they were on the same level as all the kingdoms above (e.g. they were related to & intermarried with the Castilian & Aragonese royal families), so it would be disingenuous to leave them out IMO.

[@jencookie2920]

starting to see a pattern... all about father-son hate!

[@SungSNam]

And mother-son! Don’t forget Victoria and her eldest son, Albert, later Edward VII

[@jeandehuit5385]

@@SungSNam Caroline of Ansbach & George II had a mutual dislike for their son, Frederick Lewis. Supposedly Caroline asked a courtier if it wouldn't be possible to get somebody else to knock-up her daughter-in-law in the event her son couldn't do it. The courtier replied it was *technically* possible, but no man would agree to do it, given that once the 'heir' was of age, he would likely try to murder his biological father to suppress his illegitimacy. Caroline relented & allowed nature to take its course.

[@jesusfanboy7318]

[@Chuck0856]

Or mispronounce them.

[@trinado4260]

i would love it if you did a video about all the french monarchs. I really have the slightest idea about them.

[@emmettfried7503]

Ive been waiting for this one yay first couple hours

[@pilotgal6191]

My name is Caroline. I absolutely love old English history. I especially loved this episode!!

[@giuseppelogiurato5718]

I accidentally clicked on this because I thought it was a cooking video about the history of "scones"... It took a few seconds before I realized that I probably need new glasses 🤓🤣... I ended up watching it anyway; very interesting video! (It must've popped up on my suggestion list because I've been watching both history videos and cooking videos about traditional "tea time" foods.. thanks algorithm!) Nothing soothes the scorned soul like being ensconced in Scottish scones ... With butter and jam!

If interested in learning more about Caroline, a fictionalized version of her is featured in Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle books. Amazing woman, raised by amazing women.
