Britain's Most Scandalous Queen

‘Who wants a girl with a personality?’ Historically, not the royals.Queen Caroline of Brunswick became Queen Consort of the United Kingdom in 1820, when her husband became King George IV. She was incredibly popular with the public, but unfortunately not so much with her husband, who had hated her from the start (the feeling was mutual).Today, Kate is joined by Ann Foster to tease apart all of the wild parties, pranks, adultery, accusations of adultery and actual mob violence involved in the life of this amazing woman.Ann is the author of 'Rebel of the Regency: The Scandalous Saga of Caroline of Brunswick, Britain’s Queen Without a Crown' and host of the podcast 'Vulgar History'.Voting is now open for the Listener's Choice Award at this year's Podcast Awards.
