Roberts even details a moment where he told one of the Queen's ladies that "The queen is my physician, and no man can have a better she is my friend, and no man can have a better." According to the book George III: The Life and Reign of Britain's Most Misunderstood Monarch by Andrew Roberts, King George was also the first in his family to never have a mistress and stayed faithful to Charlotte throughout their marriage. Multiple reports note that they even slept in the same bed together, which was not the norm during the era they reigned in. The couple moved into Buckingham House in 1762, which eventually became known as the famous Buckingham Palace where the Royals currently reside. The 17-year-old German princess became the Queen of the British throne as she married 22-year-old George a few hours after they had met in real life, per the Royal Family's official website.
She met George in person for the first time in September 1761 and "threw herself at his feet," which prompted him to carry her through a garden, up the steps, and into his English palace. The real-life George III announced his intentions to marry Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz in July 1761.
This isn't far off from the events that went down IRL, according to Olwen Hedley's 1975 book, Queen Charlotte. In the Netflix series, Charlotte and George got married the first day they met in person at the palace's garden.
