Not easy to have much sympathy for anyone here! Except poor Henrietta, not many good choices for her, glad life seemed to work out for her. And not a good way to go for Caroline. She must have been a very stubborn person, which seems to her detriment a few times.

You have me very curious about whatever Sophia Dorothea of Celle did or didn't do! Will have to look into that.

Certainly modern day royals are attempting to manipulate public opinion, don't know if it is working out so well for them. Maybe they need a few more history lessons...

The Hanovers were very messy, but maybe not much has changed. Certainly, royal families remain pretty dysfunctional.

Sophia Dorothea is a pretty sad story. Next week’s story will have a bit more.
