In the Back: Charles making a secret alliance with France against the Dutch, while still being allied with the later. Since France is seen as a Catholic threat by most English, this causes much disapproval.

Culture Clash
 Charles II: The Power and the Passion / int_70ade2c4
comment
Culture Clash: England and France. It's clear that Charles's family all got 'corrupted' by French influences to different extents. This was very suspect in England at that time, because France was the Ancient enemy and Catholic. Even worse with Portugal and England. Queen Catharine and her attendents get mocked for their clothes and habits.
