if this sounds weird i'll kms but. but what thoughts do you have on. bute x augusta. for. for research purposes.
Hello! Apologies for the late reply, college is beating my butt- and I had to take some time to decide how I’d like to word this. (I’m not gonna bombard you with an essay unfortunately)
-Firstly, I love weird questions, I usually have a weird answer for you jajaa
-Secondly:
In my- to quote- “professional” opinion, both from a historical standpoint, and from my own research- I don’t believe the two of them had anything sexual going on as far as I can tell. Bute devoted himself to his wife and held religious beliefs against adultery, and besides- most of the allegations of them having an affair stemmed from a xenophobic rhetoric against Bute, along with the public viewing Princess Augusta as easily influenced and weak. What we know from multiple accounts of documents is that the two had a very close relationship that really did mutate very quickly from a wholesome, tight knit companionship into this greedy, power hungry, domineering situation on Bute’s end (Though let’s be truthful, Augusta most likely did assume she had Bute on a leash.)
I personally don’t take any of my Bute ship drawings seriously, especially Grenville/Bute drawings. I really just do it for fun, but it’s also important to remember that these scenarios aren’t at all historically accurate, and claiming that they were absolutely 100% gay for eachother is possibly harmful to their own person, considering that these people are..yknow..historical figures
AT THE END OF THE DAY
I like to believe that they maybe indulged in light flirting 🤷♀️, but I truly don’t think anything that serious was going on, Frederick would never cuck himself out like that. But it’s up to you dear anon, thank you for your question 🫡
needed something to post so 💀 take this sack of garbage
