Editing Caroline of Brunswick (section)

==Legacy==
The American historian [[Thomas W. Laqueur]] emphasises that the sordid royal squabble captivated all Britons:
: During much of 1820 the "queen's business" captivated the nation. "It was the only question I have ever known," wrote the radical critic [[William Hazlitt]], "that excited a thorough popular feeling. It struck its roots into the heart of the nation; it took possession of every house or cottage in the kingdom."<ref>Laquer (1982) p 417</ref>

In 1822, the publishers of the [[John Bull (magazine)|newspaper ''John Bull'']] were found guilty over a series of libels published in the Queen's lifetime, including one that alluded to her as "a shameless woman". It was alleged the libels had embittered the Queen and shortened her life.<ref>'Libel On The Late Queen In 'John Bull', ''Town Talk'', 6 January 1822, p3.[https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/BL/0004692/18220106/010/0003]</ref>

Caroline was the subject of [[Richard Condon]]'s 1977 novel ''The Abandoned Woman.'' The story of the royal marriage and Caroline's battle to be recognised as queen served as the basis for the 1996 BBC [[docudrama]] ''[[A Royal Scandal (1996 film)|A Royal Scandal]]'' with [[Susan Lynch]] as Caroline and [[Richard E. Grant]] as George IV. The 2008 radio play ''[[The People's Princess (radio play)|The People's Princess]]'', with [[Alex Jennings]] as George IV and [[Rebecca Saire]] as Caroline, drew parallels with the marriage and divorce of Charles, Prince of Wales (later [[Charles III]]), and [[Diana, Princess of Wales]]. .
