The narrative delves into her marriage, court life, and the political intrigues surrounding her, particularly highlighting the complicated dynamics of her relationships within the royal family and the societal challenges she faced. The opening of the work sets the stage by introducing the context of the 18th century, focusing on Caroline Matilda's early life and her marriage to Christian VII, King of Denmark.
