Description | Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales (1796-1817) was the only child of King George IV (at the time Prince of Wales) and Caroline of Brunswick. She married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg and died in childbirth at age 19. Had she lived, she would eventually have been Queen. Charlotte's tragic early death set off a rush by most of her bachelor uncles to marry and produce an heir to the throne of George III. |
