Re: The First Iron Lady: A life of Caroline of Ansbach - I: Cinderella

Yeah... I mean, I don't think it's mutually exclusive for Caroline to be a) thinking in a practical way about George's strengths as a husband (and maybe being annoyed by his weaknesses) and maybe not being particularly head-over-heels for him, and b) being genuinely fond of him.

Yeah, that's plausible! Something similar may have been the case for Philip V's doting wives who exercised a fair (but debatable) amount of power.
