May 4, 2023 · Sound familiar? To anyone born in the 1980s or earlier, it will be. But the princess in question wasn’t Diana, the late, estranged wife of Prince Charles, who died in a car accident in Paris in 1997. She was Charlotte of Wales, the only child of the debauched prince regent, later George IV, and she died in 1817 at the age of just 21.
Had Charlotte outlived her father and her grandfather, she would have become Queen, but she died following childbirth at the age of 21. She had a rebellious adolescence and after a number of dramatic romances married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld on 2 May 1816.
Although he was repelled by his wife, he did his duty and brought himself to consummate the marriage and the Princess of Wales gave birth to a daughter and heir to the throne, Princess Charlotte, exactly nine months after the marriage, on 7th January, 1796 at Carlton House.
