Charlotte, Queen Consort

Description

The Queen answers her daughters' letters delivered to her by Madame Beckedorff [Charlotte, the Queen's dresser]; she advises them not to appear in public as this will certainly be read as a sign of indecency, given the present situation with the King's health. It is a different situation for their brothers however, who, because of the duties they perform, need to appear in public.
The general advice of the Queen is to be careful and mindful when taking any decision
