Her husband declined to stop visiting the local brothels, and in all probability gave her a nasty case of the Pox as a result. She sought treatment from a Dr Struensee who offered her rather more than just a cure. They became lovers, even though he was nearly twice her age, probably with the full knowledge and connivance of the King. She had a child by her lover, but in due course, pressure from disgruntled courtiers forced the mentally unstable King to take action against the happy pair. The ambitious but foolish doctor was tortured into making a confession, and was executed in 1772. The Queen was tried for adultery, convicted, divorced, sent into exile, caught scarlet fever, and was dead at the age of 23. And not once did her brother George III offer any sympathy or support. On hearing of her death, the King even barred her body from being returned for burial in Westminster Abbey.
