Wordless Wednesday - Caroline Queen Of England

See even back then they had tourist bric-a-brac

Her Majesty, Caroline Queen of England was married to King George IV (aka Prinny) and the associated scandals surrounding her make the current royals look tame...even by modern standards!

Remind me to write an entry on both of them in the near future.

Happy Wordless Wednesday! And Thank You For Stopping By!

She was a pretty feisty woman and she had a lot of public sympathy. She was more popular that her husband, that's for sure! Happy WW

I learn so much reading and looking at this blog. My husband is studying right now to be a history teacher.

Great shot.
Happy WW!

Bet Prinny didn't like this either! I wouldn't have thought Caroline was popular enough for this to be made.

Is that floofly thing a feather in her manly cap?

Great shot. My grandparents had such items in their home. Most of it was carnival arcade quality, though!

Hmm...fun seeing what folks from the UK commented! I guess it is as King Solomon said..."nothing new under the sun", eh?

The Royals always felt the need to cause a scandal didn't they?
