Wow, you guys.

Fritz of Wales: *casts himself as Orestes, his erastes as Pylades*
Fritz of Prussia: *casts himself as Pylades, his erastes as Orestes*
Fritz of Wales: *has a messy love triangle*
Gustav of Sweden: *has a hot threesome*

Fritz of Wales: just not as original as his cousins.

The full story of Hervey's friendship and enmity with the Prince of Wales is probably lost forever...he tore out and destroyed a long section — from May 1730 to the late summer of 1732 , the precise period of Hervey's intimacy and quarrel with the Prince of Wales.

The timing is especially inconvenient, because if our Fritz successfully escapes to England, this is precisely the period in which I need to know exactly what was happening!

Which reminds me. Hervey's memoirs, do you want them in the library?

in the AU where the English Marriage Project succeeds and both Fritz and Wilhelmine marry their Hannover cousins, Wilhelmine is the one ending up with Fritz of Wales, and hence with a mother-in-law who keeps insisting any kids resulting from this union can't be his so her son Billy the Butcher might become King after all...

Oh, boy. Yeah, I can see Wilhelmine and SD taking that one lying down. Even Fritz!
