The American historian Thomas W. Laqueuremphasises that the sordid royal squabble captivated all Britons: 1. 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 nat...

However, the sitter bears a closer resemblance to her mother, Antoinette of Brunswick–Wolfenbüttel (1696-1762).
