That's why I hope Wilhelmine and Amalie had the chance during Wilhelmine's visits to Berlin to talk a deux, because Wilhelmine was really the only one in that family whom Amalie could have talked to about SD without having to fear being chided about not considering her mother the most wonderful.
Also, have you got to the part where Mina's uncle the Landgraf of Hesse-Kassel entrusts her with a secret mission to Fritz, specifically, that Fritz should keep his son (also called Friedrich, because hey, we don't have enough of those), the future Landgraf of Hesse, who had secretly become a Catholic at Potsdam to remove him from evil Catholic influence, and Fritz said, well, sure, if you send a few reliable people along to prevent newly Catholic Hesse Fritz from escaping, for: "Er wolle nicht die Verantwortung für einen Fluchtversuch des Prinzen übernehmen." I bet he didn't.
