Princesses Behaving Badly (2013)
“When Princess Sophia Dorothea was told she was to be married to Prince George Louis of Hanover, she fainted dead away. She collapsed again when she was expected to greet him as her fiancé. And when she was given a diamond-studded miniature portrait of her betrothed, she dashed it against the wall, screaming, “I will not marry the pig snout!” But on November 21, 1682, marry the pig snout she did. It was probably the worst mistake of her life.
MARRIAGE ON THE ROCKS Sophia Dorothea of Celle was bo...rn in northwest Germany in 1666, the only child of George William, the duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. She was a romantic and flighty child but was expected to fetch a fine husband, and at age 16, she did just that. Her fiancé, 22-year-old George Louis, was her first cousin and the son and heir of the elector of Hanover, ruler of the most important principality in Germany. He was also in line for the British crown and would be the future George I of England. The pair had known each other for much of their young adulthood, and they didn’t like each other one bit.MoreLess
