Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales (7 January 1796 – 6 November 1817) was the only child of George, Prince of Wales (later George IV), and Caroline of Brunswick. She was expected to ascend the British throne after the deaths of her grandfather, George III , and her father, but died in childbirth at the age of 21, predeceasing them both.
The funeral for the Princess was held in St George’s Chapel on 19 November 1817. Afterwards, she was buried in the Royal Vault with the body of her son – who had been still-born – alongside her. The service is depicted in this engraving from St George’s Chapel Archives [SGC F.46].
