Christian VII, Caroline Mathilde of Wales & Struensee

[CyrilVladisla]

There was no official celebration to mark Queen Caroline Mathilde's nineteenth birthday in 1770. "The Queen's birthday was not celebrated this time because she had wanted it this way herself." was the given reason.
Instead of celebrating her birthday with King Christian VII, Caroline Mathilde spent her special day with Struensee.

I don't think the movie really dwelled on the possibility that he was using her rather than (or in addition to) being in love, did it? As well as Christian being genuinely unwell and sadistic due to illness and background, not just eccentric and an unpleasant husband.

It is a sad story, and stranger for its brutal ending that it's Struensee's descendants and ideals that are still around today.
