Slander Most Savage

It was a true love match when Ernest, Duke of Cumberland, fifth son of George III, married Princess Frederica Solms-Braunfel. Why then did his mother, Queen Charlotte, refuse to accept her at Court, after having expressed her delight at the marriage? Why did the government refuse to increase his allowance due on marriage? Why was he accused of perpetrating unspeakable vices? This is not an attempt to whitewash him, but rather an explanation of the violent political smear campaign waged against the unfortunate duke.
