Now I want to dig further into their lives. I'm just throwing this out there because it's something I've always wondered. I wonder if one of the reasons for so many transgressions in the courts throughout time were because they had a lot of time on their hands? They were busy with their day to day goings on, but they didn't labor like the common folk. So many married for reasons other than love also. And then some, I guess, just loved.....love?

He subsequently produced a report on the subject and despite his report having been suppressed and it not saying exactly what George III wanted it to say, the king subsequently appointed him to be Prime Minister in 1809, calling him, "the most straightforward man I have ever known."<br /><br />Caroline's exploits and intimate adventures continued to, ah, boggle the minds of a gobsmacked public. And probably Talleyrand (the French Foreign Minister) after meeting her in Strasbourg, put it best: "Her manner of behaving in Strasbourg explains perfectly why the Prince Regent prefers to see her in Italy rather than in England."M.M.
