- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- Caroline Matilda of Hanover was born on 22 July 1751 at Leicester House, London and died on 10 May 1775 in Celle. She was an English princess and Queen of Denmark and Norway from 1766 to 1772 as wife of King Christian VII. In early 1772 she was divorced due to her affair with the personal physician Johann Friedrich Struensee and banished to Celle, where she lived separated from her children until her early death.

Five days until the give away contest closes. Don’t forget to enroll if you haven’t done so yet !
I was wondering where to enroll. Since you brought it up here, here I will state for the record that my favorite royal is Louis XVI. My reasons are as follows:
1) He literally (if not purposely) sacrificed the French monarchy for the sake of aiding my country in winning its independence from Britian. For the Battles of the Chesapeake and Yorktown, I salute you.
2) Famous last words: "Je meurs innocent de tous les crimes qu'on m'impute. Je pardonne aux auteurs de ma mort. Je prie Dieu que le sang que vous allez répandre ne retombe jamais sur la France."
3) He was married to everybody else's favorite royal.
4) He was "le Roi martyr" (th-cam.com/video/1h7s8SDNQKE/w-d-xo.html).
Joyeux anniversaire et beaucoup plus.
Heartwarming fact: Both Caroline’s children were very close no matter this affair. Her son Frederick started to hate Queen Maria Julianna when she wanted to separate him from Louisa. She was his best friend.
Thank you so much for sharing that information with us, and thank you for watching.
I always loved Caroline Matilda's story (especially after watching the 2012 drama 'A Royal Affair').
While listening to your video I couldn't put my finger on why her story reminds me so much of Sophia Dorothea of Celle's tragic life, and then at the end of the video you mentioned they were related (Sophia was Caroline's great-grandmother).
Both of them had husbands who mistreated them, both had their lovers killed/executed and both were exiled from their reigning domains being forced to live far away from their children for the rest of their lives
I had read that King George I personally killed her lover himself and buried the man underneath the floor of one of the rooms in the castle.
Thanks for watching. I'll probably add Sophia Dorothea herself to my list of videos to make !
I love this movie too 🐦
I love the movie
My goodness, so much life in 24 years! It's sadly the universal historical double standard for kings and queens: that kings could bed anyone they pleased, but queens were humiliated and disgraced if they engaged in similar behavior. Even understanding why (queens were the ones carrying the heirs after all) it is most distasteful.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts Robert !
It’s sad how these kings can hook up with whoever they want but a queen or princess will get punished if they have a lover. Same thing happened to Katherine Howard when King Henry VIII had her executed for taking a lover.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts Lynsey !
There is always the possibility of a child that is not the King's and a nonroyal in line for the throne.
I think katherine howard was a misunderstood henry loves her but i guess her past started to hunt her
Well, in all fairness, she should have been more careful and taken the King (The one who'd just beheaded a wife, ran off others, and had one die) far more seriously. She was only a teenage girl and I understand that young women are naive oftentimes, but dang! Seems like she'd have been a little more aware of his horrible mean streak!
@@sheilaghbrosky4150 good…less inbred
Wow. Can’t believe she lived all that life and died at age 24.
Thank you so much for watching again Jane !
I really hate the double standard. Kings could do whatever they want, sleep around and be as horrible to their wives as they want. But if she dared to find love with someone else she would lose everything. It really stinked. Prince Albert's mother ended up a similar situation.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the matter !
Interesting story. I had read that the King wasn't even aware of Struhnsee's trial and execution until afterwards and was actually sad that it happened.
Thank you for watching Winnie !
Looks like I became the movie guy on your channel, but I highly recommend to watch "A royal affair". It's a movie about Caroline, Christian and Struensee (played by Mads Mikkelsen). The moment Caroline in the movie reacts to the news about Struensee's death made me cry like a baby. You gotta watch it in English tho, but I loooooooved that movie.
It's heartbreaking when you think about it. Married to an idiot that humiliates you all day long, then you find true love and just when she's happy for the first time, they start a conspiracy to humiliate her one more time and kill the man she loved with all her heart.
Thanks for that video. Reminded me of 2013, when I was researching it for a museum brochure.
And since I want that Versailles Schreibset at all cost, again: Louis XIV. ;-)))
I've seen the movie years ago, it's quite good and was quite tragic. I remember thinking the guy who played Frederick was very well cast. I personally don't care too much for Mads Mikkelsen... As to the Schreibset, you're entered haha ! But I cannot manipulate the contest in your favor haha !
@@TheKingsofFrance Nor should you! It's either fair and square or nothing :-)
The guy who played Christian was amazing.
@@reniasva yes Christian of course… i’m mixing up names today. At work… and it’s a busy day 😄
@@TheKingsofFrance I happens to all of us, don't worry. I hope I didn't blow my chances tho. Anyways, waiting for you next vid to drop. Have a nice evening and greetz from Bavaria to Belgium!
Honestly!! Although i liked the life story of Caroline but i don't recommend the movie cause from movie synopsis hey alternate the historical events and honestly her son may doned changes but his most remember legacy is just finding a meteor named after him for what i've research in google about his legacy.
What a sad story! Great work as always. Thank you again. 🇨🇦🍁
Thank YOU Rita, for watching !
Fantastic video! Very complicated affair ❤️👑. Merci 🌸!
Thanks Christine !!
Thank you again for another great video!
Thank you for watching again !!!
Yes, always fascinating!!! Merci!
Glad you liked it Elise !
Very interesting video,I loved it.Also kudos on pronouncing those names,more than a mouthful! LoL haha 🤣 Looking forward to your next videos.👑⚜️
Haha thanks, I'll admit I had to look up the pronunciation of Struensee, it was a challenge.
@@TheKingsofFrance It would be interesting to learn where you found this pronunciation. As far as I know (I'm from Germany), it is not (pronounced in French) "Stroun-se", but "Strou-enne-sé".
This a very good movie about her -I've seen it.
Yes, it is quite a good movie !
Great video, no shortage of twists and turns.
Thank you David !
Such bias with royal women of that time. It was considered perfectly normal for kings having mistresses and illegitimate children, but for common men having an affair with royalty meant death penalty and life long imprisonment for royal girls. So sad Carolina Matilda died so young. Thank you for enriching our knowledge.
Thank you for watching Ambreen. The reason why infidelity by women was much less accepted was due to the risk of a bastard inheriting throne or other titles / lands…
Fascinating.
Thank you so mch for watching !
This poor lady! Thank goodness her brother helped her! Yet another instance of a king who does whatever he wants and is clearly ill and a wife who is decent person whose life is ruined for one understandable circumstance. I am glad she didn't have to endure much time with her awful husband.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting !
Oh my god, she died at 23? I’m 23 and I cannot imagine having done half the things she did. What a tragically short life. She was failed by every man who had authority in her life, it seems
Hello, Thank you for this interesting video. At least Caroline had some love and joy with her ill-fated lover but a tragic story. Xxxx
Thank you for watching again Laura !
My favorite royal is Marie De Guise. She was strong and smart, and held Scotland together, keeping it from being absorbed into England. She must’ve really vexed ol’ Henry VIII - a powerful, independent woman he couldn’t control! And the ultimate triumph over him was that it was HER bloodline that came to rule the island, and still endures after 500 years. 👸🏻
Not sure if you've seen the video I made about her on my channel, would love to hear your thoughts on it.
The Kings of France oh yes! It was from your video that I learned more about her. Before that, I’d only seen her portrayed as debauched and unhinged in the 1998 movie “Elizabeth,” so I really enjoyed watching your video and getting to know the real story about this amazing lady. I would love to see a movie made about her, especially when she turned down Henry VIII’s marriage proposal, with the quip about having a “little neck.”
@@akaLaBrujaRoja Quite interesting to read your conversations. I was reading about the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, one of his nieces, Christina of Denmark, apparently was being considered to be Henry VIII wife after Jane Seymour. She supposedly said, “If I had two heads, one should be at the King of England’s disposal.” And that was that, Cromwell advised the King to look somewhere!
Great history video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon have a great day 😀
Thank you so much Michelle !
Ah I remember where I’ve heard of her, I saw that movie A Royal Affair about her. I love that movie so much so I’m glad you did a video on her.
Glad you liked it !
George III went crazy because of his Porphyria a hereditary illness for the Stuarts
I might do a video about him at a later time.
@@TheKingsofFrance Anne Catherine Christian's paramour was actually the bastard daughter of Prince Georg-Ludwig fon Braunswick-Bavern (1721-1747) and Anne-Marie Schoder Anne Catherine's mother is believed to be from African descend Anne Catherine was at times called Booths Catherine because her mother was a shoe maker (her adopted father was a oficer under the comand of Georg-Ludwig) other than her numerous lovers she actually married twice first in 1770 to a lawyer Conrad Ditlev Maes than devorced him and in 1785 she married a musician Hans Hinrich Schweder (1760-1813)
I love this channel . Only just found it . You've certainly done your homework .I have a movie depicting the moving tale of this marriage . So sad .
