I have two husbands, and that causes me much trouble and torment of the soul, for I may be with childe by one, and have thus given horns to th'other, who is also a lady, and we have been married first. Now she won't writ to me as we did as girles, and my lawfull husband, I have not yett told, for my condition is not certain yet. I cannot talk in honesty whith one, and with the other husband, neither.
'Tis awkward to speak of this, but if not to your friends online, to whom can one talk of such troubles?

There are thyngs the governement, the Kinge in particular, do not wish you to know about: the Royall Successioun is all made false, for instead of the D. of Yorke, the True Heir to H. M. the Kinge shoud be the Duke of Monmouth, for he was lawfully begot by the Kinge, then married in secret to the late Lucy Walter, and must therefore be accepted as Prince before his uncle the D. of Yorke, who is a Catholick.
All ye good people should speak up against this injustice! If you cannot pledge your life (if there be a fight), or some shillings to the cause, you may help it greatly alreadie by re-bloggying, and bringing this mater to greater awareness!

Why cannot a man haue normall nepheues. One, @je-maintiendrai, is nigh a Puritan in his Protestant fervour, and th'other dispreads falsehoods about the monarcky (and the Roman Church).
I reported the other one, @dukeofm for his libel, in hopes he shall be deactivated, alas th'other I can but block, and not banished from this place. I also hope my daughter the Princess shall divorce him speedilye.
Tonight, I hope to forgett all about this vexing bussinesse by thinking on going a-stag hunting tomorrow with H. M. my brothere, the King.

Queen Charlotte had 9 siblings all together, she was the 8th of 10 children born to her parents. Of those 10 children, 6 survived to adulthood.
First was Christiane, the eldest child. She never married and became a canoness later in life.
Next was Adolphus Frederick IV, who succeeded their uncle as Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. He never married or had children, and was himself succeeded by his younger brother Charles.
Charles II was the next surviving child, and became Duke after his brother died childless. He would marry twice, with his descendants becoming part of the Royal Houses across Europe
Duke Ernest Gottlob was the seventh child, born two years before Charlotte. He was said to have fallen in love with the heiress Mary Bowes (An ancestor of the Queen mother) but no marriage took place. He became a military governor in Hanover, and would attempt to marry once more later in his life to settle his debts, but this came to nothing as well.
Duke George Augustus was Charlotte's only surviving younger sibling. He moved to Great Britain and served two years in the Royal Navy, also obtaining his doctorate in legal studies. He would later serve in the Austrian army under Maria Theresa, being promoted to the rank of Brigadier general. Like two of his brothers, he remained unmarried, and he passed away in his late 30s.
A daughter name Caroline was born between Christiane and Adolphus, but died the day of her birth.
After Adolphus, two more daughters were born. Elisabeth Christine who died a few days before her second birthday, and then Sophie Louise who died about 3 months before her second birthday.
Between Charlotte and George, another son named Gotthelf was born, but he only lived for two days.
