    Cleopatra was scheming long before she was shacking up. Kind of reductive to say she’s a “political wife”.

          So was Queen Isabella. She also married a powerful man.

          “Wife” = woman married to a man.

          “Political” = relating to politics.

          “Political wife” = a wife involved in politics with her husband.

          What part of that confused you
