Her sister died because of it, so predispositions existed (worsened due to stress of being an Empress, here British climate may be a factor (coupled with the same pressure to produce a heir to the throne).
Hmm so,would Maria Josepha be better served?
 
True though as valena points out the added stress of needed to produce an heir could leave Charles,looking for wife number three no?
Maybe or maybe not. Austria absolutely needed a male heir from Claudia, England will not. James has/is just remarrying and has already two daughters who can be inherit England. Sure a son of Charles and Claudia would be great, but also a daughter would be good and if they had no child would still be fine. Still Charles can also end marrying thrice

This is very true, so you’d go with Claudia rhen?

Yes, she is pretty and smart and likely an husband who do not need absolutely an heir and made clear who had married her only for that (as he is still in love with and in mourning for his precedent wife) would at least made her happier than OTL (also she was less related to Charles than she was to Leopold so is likely to have healthier children by him). Leopold and Eleonore can resign to do their duty together
