The marriage between George IV and Caroline of Brunswick was doomed from the start. Their mutual dislike - which festered from their first meeting - was about the only thing they could agree on.
Estranged within two years, George eventually managed to exile his hated wife to the continent. But when he eventually ascended the throne, Caroline returned to claim her place as Queen.
Initially, Caroline rode a wave of public support rendering the King unable to secure a divorce. So when he decided to bar her from the coronation, she tried and force her way in.
In this episode, we explore the history of the unhappy couple, the accusations that were levied against Caroline and the surge in popularity she enjoyed as the public rallied to the cause of a wronged woman.
