You see ITK:-
you say you're a descendent of a 'queen' -
who wasn't, because she couldn't be
think that another political party, to yours, caused all the current economic problems we have
even though they're out of office for nearly a decade
and forget your politcal friends have doubled our debt in a few years
simply ignoring facts is useless
but logical counter argument is more helpful than supreme bias
Did Steel go well...

Because of the Royal Marriages Act and the Act of Settlement - Fitzherbert was never G4's wife.
Both Acts - neither of which was mentioned by you - prohibited it, probably because you never heard of them!
Why continue to live in crowd-cuckoo land and ignore English law for the sake of your ego?
It doesn't change the fact that nowhere - in this country's official doicuments/history, and those of the monarchy - is any wife, save for Brunswick, recorded.
Why? Because none existed...

Just how many times do you have to prove you are a complete t**t ?
The last Prince of Wales to marry, in 1795, had done so drunk, very drunk, because he disliked Caroline of Brunswick, his bride.
To “Prinny”, later George IV, “one damned German frau is as good as another” – for in his own eyes he had already been married, 10 years earlier to another bride.
She was Maria Fitzherbert, and their marriage without the King’s consent was forbidden under the Royal Marriages Act of 1772. Worse, she was a Roman Catholic, which would have debarred George from the throne. But they had gone through a ceremony at her house in Mayfair, conducted by a Church of England clergyman, released from the Fleet prison by the Prince’s paying his debts of £500.
Mrs Fitzherbert was set up in a house in Pall Mall, and cartoonists had a field day.
Nothing came to any good, and at the Prince’s coronation as George IV in Westminster Abbey, Queen Caroline was left banging on the door to be let in. Mrs Fitzherbert was shuffled off with a pension of £10,000 a year, and lived to the year of Victoria’s accession:
in her memorial effigy she wears three wedding rings from three deceased husbands, the King's included.

Even the official Westminster Abbey website has the details !
George IV's coronation in the Abbey on 19 July 1821 was a superbly extravagant pageant that cost a staggering £230,000! He had a new crown containing over 12,000 diamonds specially made. The ageing and obese King sweltered in his suit, thick velvet coronation robes, a long curled wig and plumed hat, and he used no fewer than nineteen handkerchiefs to mop his heavily perspiring brow!
Meanwhile, outside the Abbey, his estranged wife, Caroline of Brunswick, was desperately trying to get in to the church to be crowned consort. George IV, adamant she would not be crowned, ordered those guarding the entrances to the Abbey to refuse her entry. Despite trying every door into the church, Caroline finally accepted defeat and left.

At this time, it is highly significant that Catholic Emancipation was vehemently opposed by the Tories.
Creating yet another obstacle to the Fitzherbert plan to improve her lot - as well as the legal ones.
Before his assassination, Spencer Percival - the PM - was adamant the the role of catholics would not improve.
Happily Maria Fitzherbert lived to a good age near the Pier - but not as a Peeress, as she had hoped...

Dated links are useless - as the media didn't really exist, in those days.
The wealthy just said what they wanted to - and, to people like ITK in the current era - it is gospel!
In the unlikely event of ITK of going to University to do history, he would get a 3:3 in believing everything.
Links at University are verboten in every sense - as they just give the opinion of another.
For example, Westminster Abbey has 77 doors; did Caroline bang on all, or did she have help?
Maybe it's just a myth...
