Swiped Left: Strange Royal Bedfellows...
On this episode, we’ll be talking about the many royal couples that didn’t take to each other and thus the union weren’t ultimately successful.
Sharon Bennett Connolly kicks us off with the story of Philip II of France and Ingeborg of Denmark, and we’ll continue with
- Henry III of Navarre/ IV of France & Marguerite de Valois (Mark Turnbull)
- George I of Great Britain & Sophia Dorothea of Celle (Catherine Curzon)
- Christian VII of Denmark & Norway & Caroline Matilda of Great Britain
- George IV of Great Britain & Caroline of Brunswick
