But our home has beennothing but a playroom. I have been your doll-wife, just as at home I waspapa’s doll-child; and here the children have been my dolls. I thought itgreat fun when you played with me, just as they thought it great fun when Iplayed with them. That is what our marriage has been, Torvald. HELMER.[walking about the room].

The Project Gutenberg eBook, A Doll's House, by Henrik Ibsen, Edited by E.
Nils Krogstad, an employee at the bank, arrives and talks to Torvald in Torvald’s study. Dr. Rank comes out to talk to Nora and says that Krogstad is morally corrupt. Torvald enters, and after a brief conversation with Mrs. Linde, says he can give her a job at the bank. Torvald, Mrs. Linde, and Dr. Rank exit, and Nora plays happily with her children.
Krogstad is thrilled, and offers to ask for his letter to Torvald back, as he now regrets his earlier actions. Mrs. Linde, however, tells him to leave it, saying that the truth must come out. NORA.[drops her cloak].

Kristine, however, decides that Torvald should know the truth for the sake of his and Nora's marriage. I assure you, Torvald, that is not an easy question toanswer. I really don't know. I onlyknow that you and I look at it in quite a different[pg 111]light.
[Opens the box.] Go in to them. HELMER.Because such an atmosphere of lies infects and poisons the whole life of ahome. Each breath the children take in such a house is full of the germs ofevil.
Minds stretched to the breaking point can powerfully move us. Hnath, a rising playwriting talent, has arranged his work as a series of duologues. “A Doll’s House, Part 2,” which is receiving its world premiere at South Coast Repertory in a quietly gripping production directed by Shelley Butler, is smart, compact and stirring. The play, which opens next week on Broadway in a different production, seems destined to have a life as a puissant postscript to Ibsen’s masterwork.
So keep a shine on the veneer. The play is set during the Christmas holidays, where Nora and her husband Torvald are celebrating his new banking job. But dark shadows loom. But when Torvald learns of her deception, his shocking reaction sets her on a liberating voyage of self-discovery.

Well, Doctor Rank, it issomething you must help me to prevent. You know how devotedly, howinexpressibly deeply Torvald loves me; he would never for a momenthesitate to give his life for me. —if only this obstinate little person can gether way! Do you suppose I am going to make myself ridiculous before mywhole staff, to let people think that I am a man to be swayed by allsorts of outside influence? I should very soon feel the consequences ofit, I can tell you. And besides, there is one thing that makes it quiteimpossible for me to have Krogstad in the bank as long as I am manager.

Kristine tells Krogstad that she only married her husband because she had no other means to support her sick mother and young siblings and that she has returned to offer him her love again. She believes that he would not have stooped to unethical behavior if he had not been devastated by her abandonment and in dire financial straits. Krogstad changes his mind and offers to take back his letter from Torvald.

See,here is your ring back. Rank (after a short silence). When I am sitting here,talking to you as intimately as this, I cannot imagine for a moment whatwould have become of me if I had never come into this house. She has only come to sew my dress for me. Bless my soul,how unreasonable you are! (Sits down on the sofa.) Be nice now,Doctor Rank, and to-morrow you will see how beautifully I shall dance,and you can imagine I am doing it all for you—and for Torvald too, ofcourse.
Because such an atmosphere of lies infects and poisonsthe whole life of a home. Each breath the children take in such a houseis full of the germs of evil. The matter never came into court; but every way seemedto be closed to me after that. So I took to the business that you knowof.

But I knew him whenwe were boys. It was one of those rash friendships that so often provean incubus in after life. I may as well tell you plainly, we were onceon very intimate terms with one another. But this tactless fellow laysno restraint upon himself when other people are present. On thecontrary, he thinks it gives him the right to adopt a familiar tone withme, and every minute it is "I say, Helmer, old fellow!" and that sort ofthing.
However, the harder Nora tries, the angrier Torvald gets, and he eventually decides to send Krogstad’s notice immediately. NORA.I assure you, Torvald, that is not an easy question to answer. The thing perplexes me altogether. I only know that you and Ilook at it in quite a different light.
Your mind was so taken up with your husband's illness, andyou were so anxious to get the money for your journey, that you seem tohave paid no attention to the conditions of our bargain. Therefore itwill not be amiss if I remind you of them. Now, I promised to get themoney on the security of a bond which I drew up. Oh, I have known your husband from our student days.
“And in fact when Nora leaves the house at the end of the play, she absolutely would have known she had no legal recourse to get her kids. None,” Coleman said. Largely self-educated, Ibsen failed the university entrance examination to pursue medical training and instead pursued a career in the theater. Ibsen would transform the conventions of the well-made play into the modern problem play, exploring controversial social and human questions that had never before been dramatized. The play opens on Christmas Eve. Nora Helmer has returned home from doing the Christmas shopping.
If only he does not—. (Listens again.) Ah, therehe is. (Goes into the hall and opens the outer door carefully. Lightfootsteps are heard on the stairs. She whispers.) Come in. There isno one here.
MRS LINDE.Well, I had to turn my hand to anything I could find—first a small shop,then a small school, and so on. The last three years have seemed like one longworking-day, with no rest. Now it is at an end, Nora. My poor mother needs meno more, for she is gone; and the boys do not need me either; they have gotsituations and can shift for themselves. NORA.So you are quite alone.

The state of Texas, in general, seems to not be Barkley’s favorite and I doubt he’ll be taking any trips there any time soon on his own personal accord. Maybe it isn't that Galveston is dirty or sucks or is the place we should send teams who quit. It could just be that Chuck just had a bad day and decided to unload on the City of Galveston, which has been enthralling visitors since it was founded in the late 1830s.

It really is some of Barkley’s funniest work in some time, and naturally it went viral and went far beyond just basketball fans.

Which means all those weird doors, all those “stairs to nowhere” could have led somewhere very real when they were first built. At 24,000 square feet, the resulting 160-room mansion boasts 10,000 windows, 2,000 doors, 47 stairways, 17 chimneys and 13 bathrooms. In today’s money, the Mystery House’s construction costs would have totaled $71 million. The rumors only grew after her death, when the property sold at auction to a private investor for around $135,000—today just north of $2 million.

Gold and silver chandeliers hung from the ceilings above hand-inlaid parquet flooring. Dozens of artful stained-glass windows created by Tiffany & Co. dotted the walls, including some designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany himself. One window, in particular, was intended to create a prismatic rainbow effect on the floor when light flowed through it – of course, the window ended up on an interior wall, and thus the effect was never achieved. Winchester hired carpenters to work around the clock, expanding the small house into a seven-story mansion. Due to the lack of a plan and the presence of an architect, the house was constructed haphazardly; rooms were added onto exterior walls resulting in windows overlooking other rooms. Multiple staircases would be added, all with different sized risers, giving each staircase a distorted look.
MANY BELIEVE SARAH BUILT WINCHESTER HOUSE OUT OF FEAR.
It made its spectacular big-screen debut with the supernatural horror film "Winchester" in 2018, which tells a fictionalized version of the story behind the mansion. However, none are quite as strange as the story of the Winchester Mystery House, which has captured popular imagination for its unusual and sinister past. In 2016 it was announced that Australian filmmaking twins Peter and Michael Spierig would direct a new film about the Winchester House, with British dame Helen Mirren signing on to portray its mysterious owner. Released in February 2018, Winchester played up the supernatural aspect of the legend, with the house harboring all sorts of secrets and dark presences that go bump in the night.
A peculiar mansion built by the troubled heir to the Winchester Rifle Company fortune.
Among the secrets Sarah took to her grave was why she insisted that so many things relate to the number 13. The Winchester House has many 13-paned windows and 13-paneled ceilings, as well as 13-step stairways. But the pièce de résistance might be the house's 13th bathroom, which contains 13 windows of its own. Dozens of rooms never before seen by the public are opened, guests are allowed to enter through the front doors of the mansion for the first time. His wife and two daughters continue to run daily tours and operations of the house. Some point to Sarah Winchester's reclusive nature as proof of her guilt.
Winchester Book: Fact vs. Legend
To reach it you must pass through a corridor scaled for a child’s playhouse, narrow and scarcely five feet high. There’s light flowing in from occasional windows, but even so, it’s hard to orient yourself in space as the walls close in. Exactly why Winchester embarked on this dizzying cycle of building, undoing and rebuilding is impossible to say. Popular lore has it that she was a keen follower of the Spiritualist movement, which was rooted in the idea that dead souls can interact with the living, and consulted a medium who told her she had been cursed by victims of Winchester rifles. The medium reportedly instructed her to constantly build a house for these ghosts.
But she wove anguish into her creation, just as any artist pours unarticulated impulses into her work. Over repeated visits, I came to think that if a mind were a house, it would probably look like this. When I heard her ghost story from a friend in graduate school, I was enthralled. Eventually, Winchester became the muse for my book on the history of the American gun industry and culture. In this provocative and deeply-researched work of narrative history, Haag fundamentally revises the history of arms in America, and in so doing explodes the clichés that have created and sustained our lethal gun culture. Once the United States’ largest private residence and the most expensive to build, today you could almost miss it.

Staircases lead straight to ceilings, expensive Tiffany stained-glass windows were installed in places where they would get no light, and there are more secret passages than Narnia. A particularly odd delight is a cabinet that, when opened, extends through 30 rooms of the house. In 1886, Sarah Winchester traveled from New Haven, Connecticut, to San Jose, California, to start a new life. She purchased a small eight-room farmhouse and started a small renovation project that would take 36 years and $5.5 million (in the money of the time), only stopping when she passed away in 1922.

I visited the real Winchester Mystery House and it was sort of scary — but mostly sad.
Even though it seemed a little too well rehearsed at times, all in all, it was a lot of fun. The third and most bizarre theory claims Sarah was acting on the advice of a medium who, while supposedly channeling her late husband, said she needed to build enough rooms for all of the souls of people who'd been killed with Winchester rifles. Legend has it that the home's labyrinth of rooms within rooms, interior-facing windows, doors that opened to walls, and stairs leading to nowhere were all part of a grand plan to "confuse" the spirits of the dead. Furthermore, there was a plausible explanation for some of the house's oddities; instead of rebuilding after the 1906 earthquake, Winchester simply had some passageways sealed off, resulting in the doors and stairways that went nowhere. Before long the rundown farmhouse was a seven-story mansion, built by a team working round the clock while Winchester was also regularly visited by spiritualists and mediums from across the city. According to local legend, Winchester invited these spiritualists to direct her on how to best appease the spirits (still, it would seem, fearing a life of endless haunting).

After 100 years, Sarah Winchester's house still mystifies millions.
Private jets take off at Van Nuys Airport, soaring over streets lined with RVs and crowded apartment complexes. Democrats and Republicans are virtually tied in registration numbers, with Republicans recently taking on a several thousand-voter advantage, as of early April. Trump won the district in 2020 by a little more than one percentage point, according to data from California Target Book. Public safety and immigration will also likely factor into the campaign.
They welcomed a daughter, their only child, four years later; sadly, she only lived six weeks. After William died of tuberculosis in 1881, his share of Winchester Repeating Arms Co.—roughly 50 percent, which was valued at approximately $20 million at the time, the L.A. She put the money towards an endowment that funded the Winchester Chest Clinic at New Haven Yale Hospital (it's still there today) and a move west to be closer to her relatives. She settled in San Jose, California, where the dry climate proved beneficial for her rheumatoid arthritis. Although Sarah is best known for building what would come to be known as the Winchester Mystery House, she also left other marks on the world. Four years into the construction of the mansion, Sarah Winchester purchased a 140-acre patch of land in what is now downtown Los Altos, California, as well as a nearby farmhouse for her sister and brother-in-law.
Four years into the marriage, Sarah bore a daughter named Annie Pardee Winchester. Between the massive sales and increasing popularity, the Winchester family amassed quite a fortune — a fortune that would one day become the foundation of Sarah Winchester’s strange obsession. Prior to the building of the Winchester Mystery House — and perhaps to the dismay of horror buffs — Sarah Winchester was an ordinary, albeit wealthy, woman. There are also Flashlight Tours around Halloween and every Friday the 13th. The Winchester Antiques Products Museum and the Winchester Firearms Museum are also housed on-site.

Some say that she believed she would die as soon as the house was declared complete.
In 1886 Winchester bought a 40-acre plot of land in San Jose, California, which included an eight-room cottage. Over the next 20 years, at a cost of approximately $5 million, the cottage was rebuilt into a 160-room mansion, covering an area of 24,000 square feet. Her father-in-law, Oliver, was co-owner of the Winchester-Davies Shirt Manufactory, and William was being groomed to take over the company. However, Oliver had also developed an interest in the firearms business, and after taking control of the Volcanic Arms Company, he established the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1866. William soon sold his interest in the shirt company and became secretary of Winchester Repeating Arms.

Near the home’s front door—now in use again—is a room with bare-board walls and a shallow butler’s pantry at the back, like a book squeezed into the end of a shelf. “She often would carve little spaces out of what existed,” Boehme explains. After the quake, Winchester had mantles and fronts torn off fireplaces and their brick chimneys encased in metal, probably so they wouldn’t crumble in the event of another disaster. One particular attic space took the most effort, says the longtime house historian Janan Boehme, who helped with the restoration plans. There were staircases and things, but there was no railing, there was no safety at all,” she says.

A linen closet as big as an apartment sits next to a cupboard less than an inch deep. Another has a secret door identical to one on a corner closet—it could be opened from within the room, but not from without, and the closet drawer didn’t open at all. Sarah Winchester was a woman of independence, drive, and courage who lives on in legend. And the mansion she built is world renowned as much for the many design curiosities and innovations (many ahead of their time) as it is for the reported paranormal activity that resides within these walls.

Though she and William remained married, Sarah became increasingly distressed, often over the source of the company’s — and thus her own — wealth. In her eyes, the Winchester family business profited from death, something she couldn’t cope with. There are several tour options available, including a guided mansion tour, a Walk with Spirits tour, and a garden tour. A massive earthquake struck the Bay Area in 1906 and toppled the top three stories of the house, damaging the other four stories along with it. Some say Sarah Winchester took this as a sign from the spirits that she was too close to completion and ordered the unfinished front half of the house to be boarded up. Though it’s open now, signs of damage from the earthquake are still clearly visible.

Demystifying the Winchester Mystery House - Atlas Obscura
William Wirt Winchester died at the age of 44 of tuberculosis soon after the death of his father and mother. Sarah’s inheritance was said to be more than 20 million dollars and included a 50 percent stake in the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. An alternate theory on the Winchester House's perplexing design declares that Sarah was creating a puzzle full of encryptions inspired by the work of English philosopher Francis Bacon. There's speculation that clues to the house's true meaning are hidden in the ballroom, the Shakespeare windows, and the iron gates. This theory suggests that Sarah was a member of a mystic society like the Rosicrucians, or a secret society like the Freemasons—or possibly both.
The Winchester Mystery House
But while Sarah Winchester’s mourning habits may have been old-fashioned, she also drew a lot of unwanted attention for her fascination with technology—not the kind of thing women of her era were supposed to care about. The Winchester mansion was equipped with three elevators and high-tech devices that heated the house, allowed Sarah to communicate easily with staff, and even cut down time on washing the car. Other curious aspects of the house—like narrow, low-rise, claustrophobic switchback stairs—were built to accommodate the diminutive Winchester, who was not only 4-feet-10 but also suffered from crippling arthritis. What looks like curious construction to some was merely practical to her. As recently as this April (2019), an architectural historian met with our house historian, Janan Boehme, to present his findings on who had most likely created the amazingly beautiful stained-glass windows in the mansion.
She spoke four languages, attended the best schools around, married well, and eventually gave birth to a daughter, Annie. However, tragedy struck in her late twenties when Annie died, followed by the death of Sarah’s husband William more than a decade later. It is true that she married Wirt in 1862 and four years later gave birth to a daughter, Annie Pardee Winchester, who died a month later. They never had another child, and just 15 years later, Sarah lost her husband, her mother, and her father-in-law to the plague of her time, tuberculosis.
In 2018, Helen Mirren starred in Winchester as Sarah Winchester herself. The story took the rumors about the hauntings in the house and ran with them, depicting a woman crazed by the ghosts of Winchester rifles. Filming for the movie took place at the actual Winchester Mystery House. After the house was emptied, a local investor purchased the home for a cool $135,000. Just five months after Sarah Winchester died, the Winchester Mystery House was opened to the public for tours. These spirits are reportedly what called Winchester to make so many illogical additions to the home.
Others say she created a labyrinth to confuse and evade the spirits that followed her. Whatever you believe the reason is, the Winchester Mystery House is sure to stay in your mind long after your visit. When Sarah Winchester’s husband, William Wirt Winchester, died in 1881, she became one of the wealthiest women in the world. In March 1881, William also died, following a long battle with tuberculosis.
Just 40 days after her birth, young Annie would die of marasmus, a rare disease in which the body suffers malnutrition due to an inability to metabolize proteins. The company had made a name for itself as one of the first to mass-produce firearms with the ability to fire multiple rounds without reloading. In particular, the 1873 model was incredibly popular with settlers and was widely used during the American Indian wars. No one is quite sure why Mrs. Winchester demanded constant changes to her very large house. We depend on ad revenue to craft and curate stories about the world’s hidden wonders.
The Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California, is one of the nation’s most curious landmarks. Built by a millionaire widow over the course of 36 years, the sprawling mansion features more than 200 rooms, 10,000 windows, trap doors, spy holes and a host of other architectural oddities. But the bill hasn’t been brought for a standalone floor vote in the GOP-led House amid criticism from some Republicans who say the program subsidizes households that already had internet service. They also pointed to findings from the FCC’s internal watchdog last year that providers failed to comply with the program’s rules and improperly claimed funds.
Believe it or not, this ghost-packed film could be the closest mainstream audiences come to understanding that Winchester was far from just a “crazy” lady who built a crazy house. Most importantly, there is no proof of demonic possession, ghostly apparitions, or any kind of hauntings in the Winchester house. But that hasn’t stopped urban legends to continue to circle this curious building and drive thousands of people to see it every year. In Sarah Winchester’s opinion, her newfound fortune was blood money, earned from what she saw as the untimely deaths of thousands of people. The Winchester Mystery House is famous amongst history and mystery aficionados alike with its winding staircases, doors that lead to nowhere, and reported hauntings. But while the house remains a popular destination, its fascinating owner Sarah Winchester is often an afterthought.
Among the co-sponsors are 22 Republicans, including Rep. Young Kim (R-Anaheim Hills). The program, which was created after the pandemic forced many Americans to turn to the internet to connect with work and school, has 23 million enrollees nationwide — 1 in 6 U.S. households — including nearly 3 million in California. Jay Lybik, national director of multifamily analytics at CoStar, a commercial real estate data provider, said LA4LA’s model makes “complete sense” in light of concerns about the multi-unit housing market.
Most of Llanada Villa was built in the Queen Anne Revival style, but some sections featured Victorian, Gothic, and Romanesque features. Originally, Sarah hired the services of two architects but eventually dismissed them and drew up many plans for her home herself. The United States has many unique roadside attractions throughout the country that focus on the strange and unusual. Mysterious houses designed and constructed by eccentric owners are featured in almost every state. There is the Lizzie Borden House in Massachusetts, Craig-E-Clair Castle in New York, the Asa Packer Mansion in Pennsylvania, the House on the Rock in Wisconsin, Coral Castle in Florida, and the actual home of P.T. To this day, Winchester House is a destination for believers who hope to have a paranormal encounter of their own.
There are no records of séances being held in the house and staff members claimed that Sarah had no interest in them. Sarah’s relatives did not back up the claims of her being superstitious and her reclusiveness may have been due to her many physical ailments. It is also likely that the labyrinth construction of the home may have been the result of making the home functional after the earthquake. Furthermore, there are very few actual recorded incidences to back up the claims of the home being haunted by spirits.
Hughes’ adult criminal record shows a path through a series of lesser offenses. According to local TV station WCNC, he was convicted of breaking and entering in 2010 and served six months in prison. Later, he was arrested again after trying to flee police, the news station reported. As alarmed residents watched, a heavily armed man engaged in a gunfight with police, firing on them from the second story of a brick house. All four – Sam Poloche and Alden Elliott of the state's Department of Adult Correction, U.S. Marshals Deputy Thomas M. Weeks Jr. and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officer Joshua Eyer – were married men, and fathers.
Father's Day
Local children were invited to see the tree and each given some of the sweets that hung on the branches. Terrible storms made crossing the channel a sickening ordeal for Charlotte, who was frankly exhausted by the time she arrived in London. This was perhaps one reason why she reportedly threw herself on the floor in front of George when the couple first met. Mere hours after meeting George for the very first time, they were wed at St. James’s Palace in 1761.
Adolphus Friedrich IV, Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz
On 17 November 1818, as the Prince Regent and her children gathered around her, Queen Charlotte died. Only now did she make her longed-for journey to Windsor, where she was interred in St George’s Chapel. She was reunited with her beloved husband little more than a year later, when George III was laid to rest beside her. For the last decade of his life the king was secluded at Windsor, where Charlotte oversaw his care and watched him fade away until he no longer recognised her.
Princess Sophia
She made her society debut in 1782, at her father's birthday celebrations. She entered a secret romance with Sir Brent Spencer, an officer in the British Army and equerry to the King. When Charlotte turned one, Kensington Palace released four news images of her at 11 a.m. Taken by Kate, they showed Charlotte at the family’s Norfolk home Anmer Hall. Charlotte’s second birthday picture was also taken by Kate at Anmer Hall and released on social media the day before her birthday, this time at 10 a.m.
Charlotte’s death and legacy
During George’s later years, the queen felt threatened by his more aggressive state and increasingly kept her distance. She also likely harbored frustration with her husband’s doctors, who used ineffective techniques like leeching, cold baths, and powders laced with arsenic, as well as torturous items like chains and straitjackets to treat him. According to Historic Royal Places, Charlotte was trained by the son of Johann Sebastian Bach and became proficient with the harpsichord. In 1764, she invited a talented 8-year-old named Wolfgang Mozart to live and train in England for a year. Brady McCarron, deputy chief of public affairs, said the agency would not release any information about the training for the team in Charlotte. Police advocates countered with "Blue Lives Matter" campaigns and depict the wave of interactions as a crime wave that targets police.
The 17-year-old German princess became the Queen of the British throne as she married 22-year-old George a few hours after they had met in real life, per the Royal Family's official website. Princess Charlotte, the eldest daughter of Charlotte and George, was born on September 29, 1766. She received the title "Princess Royal" when she was 22 years old.
The Real Love Story of Queen Charlotte and King George III That Inspired the Bridgerton Spinoff
When his older brother died in 1830, he succeeded him as King William IV. And, until King Charles III in 2022, he became the oldest person to assume the British throne at age 64. He reigned for just seven years until his death on June 20, 1837 at age 71. Since he had no legitimate children, the throne passed to his niece, Princess Victoria. George experienced severe stomach pain in 1788 that persisted for months and eventually led to weakness in his limbs and delirium.
When Charlotte’s 6th birthday portrait — taken by Kate — was released, her floral dress by children’s designer Rachel Riley sold out within 12 hours, making it the fastest-selling item in the brand’s history. From the day she was born, Princess Charlotte — who is currently third in line to the British throne — has been one of the most famous children in the world. She joined her parents at royal engagements from a young age, including when they brought her on a weeklong tour of Canada when she was 16 months old. She has also been front and center at some of the family’s most important events, including her grandfather King Charles' coronation ceremony and Queen Elizabeth's state funeral. King George’s age isn’t mentioned in either timeline in the series. So, we’re going to have to base the character’s age on the real King George III.
She was pregnant regularly, yet still managed to find time to organize the decoration of a lodge in Windsor Park, which was where she and her family spent most of their time. In addition, she educated herself about diplomatic matters, and exercised a quiet and discreet influence over her husband’s political affairs, both foreign and domestic. In particular, she became involved in English-German relations, and may have had some influence in British intervention in Bavaria. Charlotte was taught the basics of language, music, and art, but much of her education was focused on domestic life and household management, in preparation for future as a wife and mother. Charlotte and her siblings were also educated in religious matters by a priest who lived with the family.
The most celebrated Georgians flocked to see them and amid the rustle of silk court dresses and the flash of the most fashionable jewellery, courtiers sought to make a splash. Whether at St James’s or Buckingham House, the king and queen performed weekly musical concerts and gave entertainments, whilst official levées were held twice a week, with a third day added later. On Thursdays and Sundays, the king and queen received courtiers at Drawing Rooms, where they showed off their family. On one such occasion Charlotte dressed her infant sons in their robes of state and her little daughter in a Roman toga and had them host the Drawing Room instead. Though loyal courtiers professed to be charmed, caricaturists savaged the event. The couple quickly settled into a steady domestic routine more akin to the upper middle classes than royalty.
The queen’s last public appearance was in London in April 1818, after which she was set on travelling to Windsor to join her spouse. Robbed of the ability to walk, Charlotte could merely lay in bed and gaze out at her beloved gardens. Charlotte’s future was decided in 1760, when the 22-year-old George III succeeded his grandfather on the English throne. This unassuming, diligent bachelor needed a queen – and an heir – as a matter of urgency. Eager to ensure the line of succession, politicians included Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz on a shortlist of eligible and suitable Protestant ladies. She was reported to have no political ambitions and to be in all regards perfectly pleasant and ‘sweet-tempered’, which was exactly what George was looking for.

Below, all of the details you need to know about Queen Charlotte's full family tree, from her marriage to her children and her grandchildren. However, it wouldn't be until 1788 that King George suffered his first major bout of mental illness at the age of 50. Per the Georgian Papers, the episode scared Queen Charlotte so terribly, she stopped sleeping in the same bed as him.
She reportedly stumbled from her carriage towards the waiting king but, as she went to throw herself at George’s feet in supplication, he caught her. The French Revolution of 1789 probably added to the strain that Charlotte felt.[51] Queen Charlotte and Queen Marie Antoinette of France had maintained a close relationship. Charlotte was 11 years older than Marie Antoinette, yet they shared many interests, such as their love of music and the arts, about which they were both enthusiastic. Never meeting face to face, they confined their friendship to pen and paper.
After her arrival, Charlotte went to meet Princess Augusta, the Princess Dowager, and that night, at 9 p.m., George and Charlotte were married at the Chapel Royal by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Secker. Two decades later, in 1788, George became ill again, and this time it was much worse. By now, Charlotte was well aware of the Regency Bill, but still had to battle against the Prince of Wales, who had designs of his own on the Regency. When George recovered the following year, Charlotte deliberately sent a message by refusing to allow the Prince of Wales to attend a ball held in honor of the King's return to health. Charlotte and George were avid patrons of the arts, taking a particular interest in German music and composers. Their court hosted performances by Bach and Mozart, and they enjoyed the compositions of Handel and many others.
Smithsonian reports that the King barely got sleep, causing him to "speak out of turn" and accuse Charlotte of cheating on him. He allegedly made inappropriate advances toward her attendants and physically assaulted their oldest son, George, Prince of Wales, according to Georgian Papers. The king and queen shared a love of music, often playing duets together, with Charlotte on the harpsichord and George on the flute. While both preferred the informal, simple lives they led at home, the court they presided over—as seen in “Bridgerton”—was a fashionable, glittering one. Charlotte landed in England on September 8, 1761, and married George that same night, within six hours of her arrival. Two weeks later, the couple held a joint coronation; it ran so long that members of the congregation started eating during the sermon.
Just a few hours later, the German princess married George, becoming England’s newest queen. Willis’s treatment of the king has been well documented, but Charlotte was suffering too. George was her best friend and without him, her nerves frayed to breaking. With the king straightjacketed at Kew, Charlotte was dragged into parliamentary arguments over who should rule as Regent during his illness.

Mark convinces Sheila that Philip is trying to drive her mad. He says that he and Jonah will stand guard outside the bedroom.
