Caroline: I found a note in one of my old word .docs that said: Note to self: Get revenge on George. Except I couldn't remember what I was supposed to get revenge for. But I trusted my own judgment, so I went with it.

George: Hmm… I don't know what you were supposed to get revenge for, either.

Caroline: I can only assume you got what was coming to you. Not 100 percent sure, though.

George: Well, whatever I did, I guess I deserved it.

Caroline: Let that possibly be a lesson to you.

The British monarch owns some of the collection in right of the Crown and some as a private individual. It is made up of over one million objects, including 7,000 paintings, over 150,000 works on paper, this including 30,000 watercolours and drawings, and about 450,000 photographs, as well as around 700,000 works of art, including tapestries, furniture, ceramics, textiles, carriages, weapons, armour, jewellery, clocks, musical instruments, tableware, plants, manuscripts, books, and sculptures.

Thomas Lawrence (British, 1769-1830) Caroline of Brunswick, Queen of George IV • 1798 • Victoria and Albert Museum, London

[the-paintrist]

Thomas Hudson - Portrait of king George II of UK - 1744

oil on canvas, height: 218.8 cm (86.1 in) Edit this at Wikidata; width: 146.7 cm (57.7 in)

National Portrait Gallery, London, UK

George II (George Augustus; German: Georg August; 30 October / 9 November 1683[a] – 25 October 1760) was King of Great Britain and Ireland, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg (Hanover) and a prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire from 11 June 1727 (O.S.) until his death in 1760.

Born and brought up in northern Germany, George is the most recent British monarch born outside Great Britain. The Act of Settlement 1701 and the Acts of Union 1707 positioned his grandmother Sophia of Hanover and her Protestant descendants to inherit the British throne. In 1705, George married Caroline of Ansbach, with whom he had eight children. After the deaths of George's grandmother and Anne, Queen of Great Britain, in 1714, George's father, the Elector of Hanover, ascended the British throne as George I. In the first years of his father's reign as king, Prince George was associated with opposition politicians until they rejoined the governing party in 1720.

As king from 1727, George exercised little control over British domestic policy, which was largely controlled by the Parliament of Great Britain. As elector he spent twelve summers in Hanover, where he had more direct control over government policy. He had a difficult relationship with his eldest son, Frederick, who supported the parliamentary opposition. During the War of the Austrian Succession, George participated at the Battle of Dettingen in 1743, and thus became the most recent British monarch to lead an army in battle. In 1745 supporters of the Catholic claimant to the British throne, James Francis Edward Stuart ("The Old Pretender"), led by James's son Charles Edward Stuart ("The Young Pretender" or "Bonnie Prince Charlie"), attempted and failed to depose George in the last of the Jacobite rebellions. Frederick died suddenly in 1751, nine years before his father; George was succeeded by Frederick's eldest son, George III.

For two centuries after George II's death, history tended to view him with disdain, concentrating on his mistresses, short temper, and boorishness. Since then, reassessment of his legacy has led scholars to conclude that he exercised more influence in foreign policy and military appointments than previously thought.

Thomas Hudson (1701 – 1779) was an English painter, almost exclusively of portraits.

William IV of Great Britain

William IV of Great Britain (r. 1830-1837) succeeded his elder brother George IV of Great Britain (r. 1820-1830) to become the fifth Hanoverian monarch. William had a successful naval career, and his reign is best remembered for the democratic reforms initiated by the 1832 Reform Act. He was succeeded by his niece, Queen Victoria of Great Britain (r. 1837-1901).

The House of Hanover

The royal house of Hanover had taken over the British throne in 1714 following the death of Queen Anne of Great Britain (r. 1702-1714), who had no children. The Hanoverians were also electors of Hanover, a small principality in Germany, and so both George I of Great Britain (r. 1714-1727) and George II of Great Britain (r. 1727-1760) were very much Germans ruling in Britain. George III was the first Hanoverian to be born in Britain and to speak English as his first language, and he was, consequently, more popular with his subjects. The next king, George IV, was much less popular because of his poor treatment of his wife Caroline of Brunswick-Wolferbüttel (d. 1821) and his incessant overspending.

16, 26 and 27 for the history asks! 🥰

16. Do you own some historical item (e.g. coin, clothing, weapons, books, etc.) If yes, which one is your favourite?

I do not own anything “special” but my family is very tight knit and there are several family-heirlooms that have been passed down through the generations. Since most men in my family have served in the navy, some of the pieces are rather exotic. My favourites are a few pieces of jewellery and a book that my great-grandfather was gifted by his captain as a young lad during one Christmas at sea and that he later gave his young wife when he had to leave her and their children to go to war. My great-grandmother was bombed out several times, but this one book has survived it all.

26. Who do you think is a forgotten hero we should know about and admire?

The courageous man and women who resisted the Nazi dictatorship in Germany and elsewhere and whose names and deeds are too often completely forgotten. The men and women who hide people prosecuted by the Nazis. The men and women who provided food and shelter although their own situation was dire. The men and women who got those prosecuted out of country. The men and women who wrote and published flyers, articles and the like to raise awareness of the heinous crimes committed by the Nazis. The neighbours who knew, that these strange sounds were not coming from the people living right next them, and who choose to keep silent. The shopkeepers who knew, that that one family was not just buying groceries for themselves, and who choose to keep silent. The conductors who knew, that these papers were forged, and who choose to keep silent.

I do not care if you were the founder of your country, a great King or if a whole era was named after you. The likes of George Washington and Queen Victoria can not hold a candle to these brave men and women wo risked their lives and the future of their families, their friends and associates, because they knew that the crimes that were committed in the name of the German people were a perversion of humanity.

27. What’s your favourite historical “What if…” scenario?

@acrossthewavesoftime created a scenario in which George IV grows up in Hannover as the oldest son of the Elector, assumes the identity of his brother Ernest, goes to sea, becomes a celebrated hero, falls head over heels in love with Caroline of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and eventually becomes George I of Great Britain. – That has to be my number one.

I otherwise also quote enjoy the question of “What would happen if England would have been invaded during the Napoleonic Wars?”

[milenapetrofig]

George IV

The first child of King George III and Queen Charlotte was christened George. The heir to the throne went on to become George IV in 1820 following his father's death.

While the Prince Regent a marriage was made to Princess Caroline of Brunswick in 1794. Caroline of Brunswick Wolfenbüttel was Queen of the United Kingdom and Hanover as the wife of King George IV from 29 January 1820 until her death in 1821.

[tiny-librarian]

Princess Charlotte of Wales (daughter of George IV and Caroline of Brunswick, not Prince William and Kate Middleton) married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, future King of the Belgians and uncle to Queen Victoria, in London on 2 May 1816. As the heiress presumptive to the throne and the woman who should have been Queen, if not for her untimely death the following year, her wedding was the social event of the decade and she needed a dress fit for a Princess in order to match the occasion. She had one.

In this royal fashion history documentary from History Calling we look at one of the earliest surviving royal wedding dresses in British history which was recently on display in the Queen’s Gallery in Buckingham Palace. Despite the increasing popularity of white wedding dresses at the time of her nuptials, Charlotte wore silver silk and satin overlaid with lace and embellished with shell motifs. We’ll trace her dress’s journey from its creation by the Princess’s dressmaker, Mrs Triud of Bolton Street, to the day Charlotte wore it, to what happened to it after her death and how it came to be in its present home. By comparing photographs of the dress as seen today to historical descriptions and a picture of it from 1816, we’ll see how well the current gown matches early 19th century fashions, examine how much of the original garment is left and ask whether this unique piece of dress history can really be called the wedding dress of Princess Charlotte.

[elisabethvigee]

The Prince was genuinely fond of Mrs Fitzherbert. But he was not so fond as to be faithful. He had recently acquired a mistress, the beautiful but sinister Lady Jersey, who was almost ten years his senior (even older than Mrs Fitzherbert). And he was not so fond of anyone as to allow them to stand between him and an opportunity to increase his income. The news that he was not legally married was as much of a relief to the Prince as it was to the government.

Once it was agreed that the Prince was free to marry, the next step was to find him a bride. There were two candidates, both of whom were his cousins. One was Princess Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, whose father was the brother of his mother, Queen Charlotte. The other was Princess Caroline of Brunswick, whose mother was a sister of his father, the King.

“The Queen was enthusiastically in favour of Princess Louise, not only because Louise was her niece and reputedly the better looking, but also because, like many other people at court, she had heard too many unsavoury rumours about Princess Caroline, The Brunswicker Princess was said to be coarse and uninhibited. She was said to have had several affairs, one with an Irish officer in her father's army, and it was known that earlier marriage negotiations had been broken off without reason.
