Comment on 19.6.1841

Christian 8. supported the preservation and the strengthening of the United Monarchy, i.e. the united Danish monarchy including the Kingdom of Denmark and the German Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was in Northern Germany and could therefore in theory – through the marriage between Frederik (7.) and Caroline Charlotte Mariane von Mecklenburg-Strelitz – be more closely connected to the United Monarchy.
