Fra Wikipedia om dronning Caroline Amalie;
"Det var lenge et utmerket forhold mellom hennes yngre bror hertug Christian August av Augustenborg og hennes gemal, Christian Frederik. Men da Christian Frederik besteg tronen som Christian VIII i 1839 oppsto det snart uenighet om hertugdømmene og hertugen var en ivrig talsmann for en arverett kongen ikke ville innrømme han. I denne striden sto Caroline Amalie stilltiende på hertugens side, noe hun innrømmet overfor kongen, som altså¨? også stilltiende ? måtte konstatere at hans egen dronning ikke sto bak ham i denne vesentlige saken.
Disse forholdene er først nylig kommet for en dag etter utgivelsen av korrespondansen mellom Caroline Amalie og hennes bror.[1]
I brever til svigerinnen i 1861 og 1863 ga Caroline Amalie uttrykk for at hun nå forsto hva hennes avdøde ektefelle hadde stått oppe i og at hun inderlig angret sitt standpunkt."
