What were Queen Adelaide's political opinions, and how much did she influence King William IV on the topic? In particular, what (if any) were her opinions on the Reform Act 1832?

Most of what I can find online is either Wikipedia, which describes her as conservative but provides no evidence that I have access to (it cites two books that are over 50 years old) and which may well be outdated. Other sources online talk about her in a much more positive light, but they tend to come from a certain city that has a vested interest in Adelaide looking good (as do I, and as do many of my history friends. Hence my interest), and tend to not come with citations.

What does the modern scholarship say on her views, why did she have them and how influential were they?
