FU’s wife is a willing participant.
Also, there’s a long, long history of political wives who schemed along side their husbands.
Lady Macbeth sound familiar? Cleopatra? Elanor Roosevelt?

Worked hard to marry two of the most powerful men in the world.

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.
