Caroline of Brunswick Part 1: Sex, Lies ...

Wondery
About this episode

Over a hundred years before Princess Diana and Prince Charles, there was another doomed British royal couple: Queen Caroline and King George IV. Caroline and George’s hatred for each other runs so deep that it leads to a war that snowballs into a full blown tabloid circus. (Imagine Johnny Depp and Amber Heard-level drama, but set in Jane Austen’s era.) Their fighting eventually ends in a trial about sexual double standards -- with the whole country waiting on the edge of their seats to see how it will all play out.
