Good point! I hadn't thought that through. Now, that still leaves Amelia having grown up in a family situation where Mom was the brains of the outfit and clever at managing Dad (very much unlike the FW/SD marriage), and the way this was known internationally can be seen from Fritz writing that infamous letter about promising to marry Amelia, none other, to Caroline, not G2; Wilhelmine, too, mentions Caroline as the person SD campaigned to impress once G1 had kicked the bucket. However, as long as Caroline and not yet G2 are Princess and Prince of Wales, it's simply not the same as when they're Queen and King, as they're both subject to G1's whims. And never mind her grandmother, Amelia would have been able to recall that time G1 and future G2 had that argument about Billy the Butcher's baptism and godfather that resulted in the biggest public scandal and all the children for a while being taken away from Caroline and future G2.
