On this episode we Gemma and Natalie interview Catherine Curzon, author of many books on the Georgians. The episode focusses on the two Georgian Queens Consort, both called Caroline - Caroline of Ansbach, wife to George II and Caroline of Brunswick, wife to Prince Regent.
The two women couldn't be more different from each other - one was a wise politician in love with her husband; and the other - the lover of life, hellbent on getting revenge on her royal hubby. Were they the same in any way? Since a woman's lot would be equally bad in 18th century, even for a royal?
Tune in and find out.
