I just love it when the trivia question of the week taps into people's personal passions. Last week I asked:- Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III, had fifteen children with her
husband and was the longest serving consort in Britain. How long did she
serve as Queen, and how many of her children survived to adulthood?
A Traveller in Time responded with not only the answers, but even more information:- Charlotte was Queen Consort from 8 September 1761 – 17 November 1818 (so 57years, 2 months and 10 days or so.)
13 of her 15 children survived to maturity - many into their 60s and older - quite a feat in those times.
And she was her husband the King's legal guardian during his illness believed to be porphyria from 1811 until her death in 1818.
For this week I'll give you an easier question since you have so much less time to consider your answers:- This famous stylist was responsible for giving Marie-Antoinette her much-copied hairdos.
The diary of an eighteenth century French noblewoman, and information relating to her world.
