Katy's Corner: Elisabeth Christine Ulrike of Brunswick

If Caroline of Brunswick was the Regency era’s chaos queen, then her aunt Elisabeth Christine Ulrike of Brunswick walked so she could run. In this Katy’s Corner side quest, we’re diving into the absolutely wild story of the Crown Princess of Prussia who shocked Europe with affairs, public fights, an attempted escape with her lover, and rumors of plotting against her husband.

We also get into Frederick the Great, toxic royal family dynamics, revenge affairs, and the very messy Brunswick-Prussia family tree. A perfect little historical rabbit hole if you love rebellious women, royal drama, and deeply petty behavior.
