Charlotte of Wales, Princess (1796-1817), the daughter of George IV. - then Prince Regent - and Caroline of Brunswick. She was brought up in great seclusion, and while still young was engaged to Prince William of Orange, an engagement which she broke off, much to her father's disgust, in 1814. In 1816 she married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg (afterwards Leopold, King of the Belgians), and died the next year in child-bed.
