When they returned to Portugal 1821 after an absence of 14 years, she met a country that had changed much since their departure. In 1807, the country had lived stably under absolutism. Napoleonic troops had brought revolutionary ideas. 1820 had a liberal revolution commenced from Porto. Constitutional Cortes had been promulgating and 1821 gave the first constitution of the country. Also in her nativa Spain, 1812 similar developments. The queen had arch-conservative position and wanted reactionary development to also Portugal. Her husband did not want to renege his vows to uphold the constitution. She allied with her youngest son Miguel, who shared the conservative views of his mother.

The king however received British help and regained power, finally compelling his son to leave the country - and the queen had also to go briefly into exile.

When death approached her husband the king, he nominated their daughter infanta Isabel Maria as regent, a position usually occupied by dowager queen.
