The Queen Who Became A Physician's Mistress - Caroline Matilda of Great Britain

Caroline Matilda was a sheltered princess who grew up to become a queen - it sounds like the beginning of a fairytale, but her story would fast turn into a horror story. Neglected by a husband who didn't want her, Christian VII of Denmark, lonely Caroline Matilda fell into the arms of his physician, Johann Struensee, and embarked on a love affair that would literally change the politics and structure of the country she helped rule. But their story would not end well, and Caroline Matilda's life would end in Hanover, with no lover or husband, far from her children, and would die at the age of just 23...

*I incorrectly state the House of Oldenburg was Swedish, when it is in fact Danish! I'm only human, and sometimes do make a silly error, as I'm a one-person team. Apologies!*

***NOTE ABOUT PRONUNCIATION! I always try where possible to use the names and placenames native to the place where the history is set, in this case, Denmark! However, it's not my first language, and I do try to pronounce things properly, but please let me know (gently!) if I can improve it.
