Caroline of Brunswick 2
We’re back for part 2 in our Caroline of Brunswick series—and the drama only escalates.
After her disastrous marriage to George IV, Caroline becomes Britain’s ultimate “people’s princess” while her husband doubles down on being the worst.
In this episode, we cover the birth of Princess Charlotte, George IV’s infamous will, and how Regency-era tabloids fueled Caroline’s rise in public support. From palace spying and a toxic court to her separation and new independent life, Caroline refuses to stay quiet.
It’s messy, dramatic, and completely unfair—and somehow, the public never stops rooting for her.
