Also, SDC's father Georg Wilhelm - the one whom G1's mother Sophie DIDN'T marry - was the oldest Hannover brother. Still alive, and with all the money, hence the G1/SDC marriage to begin with. Now Georg Wilhelm actually as far as I know didn't do anything for his daughter, as opposed to his wife (and ex mistress), but he could have done. Sophie's husband Ernst August had been the youngest Hannover brother, and the reason why he ended up as boss and as the first Prince Elector of Hannover was due to a combination of external factors and conscious policy of uniting the various Hannover heritage bits, not least through the marriage of future G1 and SDC.
