Queen Charlotte and Queen Marie Antoinette of France kept a close relationship. Never meeting face to face they kept corresponding in pen and paper. Marie Antoinette confided in the Queen of Great Britain of her worries upon the outbreak of the French Revolution. After the execution of Marie Antoinette and the bloody events that followed, Queen Charlotte was said to be shocked and overwhelmed that such a thing could happen to a kingdom, and right on Britain's doorstep.

George III's long reign was marked by a series of military conflicts involving his kingdoms, much of the rest of Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia. Early in his reign, Great Britain defeated France in the Seven Years War, becoming the dominant European power in North America and India. However, many of its American colonies were soon lost in the American Revolutionary Wars, which led to the establishment of the United States of America.
