Sweet Georgian Carolines with Catherine Curzon

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.
