Concerning the mental health issue, it’s been a deep rooted instinct since our most distant ancestors started forming societies, to want our leaders to be strong, capable, and well, sane. Trying to hide the ‘ madness of King George’ isn’t the slightest bit odd or surprising.
Did it ever occur to you that she kept the daughters from breeding? That she feared that they (like the Hapsburgs) would create mini-madness of King Georges?
The fact George III and Queen Charlotte were only having the dada with each other, that means they most likely didn’t have any stds. Which was a contributing factor to child birth in those days. That’s probably why they had so many kids. Or at least it did have an affect.
@@leshazell6050it’s kinda the opposite though. Unless they had changed their beliefs by then, they didn’t have sex while pregnant which would mean they couldn’t have sex for a total of at least 18 years during their marriage.
Prince Phillip was more Royal than our late Queen. His parents were Princess Alice of Hesse and Prince Andrew of Greece, her parents were Prince Albert and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon
Most of England's reigning queens who married had husbands who were more blue-blooded than they: this was true not only of Elizabeth II but also, the Stuart sisters (Mary II and Anne). Victoria was an exception, in that her husband (who was actually a first cousin) did not have more royal ancestry than herself. Elizabeth I, of course, never married -- but her older half-sister, Mary I, did: indeed, it seems that her husband and kinsman, King Philip II of Spain, had a slightly superior pedigree.

Pedigree? They were people not dogs ffs
Ironically narcissistic parents love getting adoration from public vs the reality of their home lives..
So cruel 😔
