Caroline moved to England from Hanover when her father-in-law became George I and her husband Prince of Wales. She had a tumultuous relationship with the King, who was unpopular and ineffective. When her husband became George II, the relationship between the King and his people was even worse, a situation his Queen Consort attempted to mediate.
