Charlotte, the Forgotten Princess 

10 March 2012 to 10 March 2013

Royal Pavilion

Prince Regent Gallery

Admission payable, members free

 

An exhibition devoted to the short life and tragic death of Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales.

The only daughter of George, Prince of Wales (later George IV) and Princess Caroline of Brunswick, Charlotte was a feisty and headstrong child, who became very popular with the public, in stark contrast to her father.

Charlotte married in 1816, but then tragically died the following year shortly after giving birth, aged only 21. Her sudden death sent shockwaves across the country and the public outpouring of grief was exceeded in English history only by that following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales.

Referred to by contemporaries as the ‘Daughter of England’, Charlotte would have become queen had she outlived her father and grandfather – and Queen Victoria would probably not have succeeded to the throne.

For the first time in a generation, the Royal Pavilion & Museums’ extensive collection of paintings, ceramics and drawings relating to the princess is on display, alongside dresses belonging to Charlotte and loans from museums and private collections.

Exhibition is free with Royal Pavilion admission fee -

Adult £10, child (5-15 years) £5.70, concession £8

B&H resident (with proof of address) £5

Family tickets also available, see Royal Pavilion current admission charges
