I cannot source this image.*** Her ruff/cherusque arises from a collar surrounding the neckline.*** Norris and Oswald describe an incident in 1814 where she went to a party topless (Nineteenth-Century Costume and Fashion, 1998 Dover re-issue, pp. 24-25).*** Beginning her Wikipedia article: "Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales (7 January 1796 - 6 November 1817) was the only child of the ill-fated marriage between George IV (at the time Prince of Wales) and Caroline of Brunswick. She was born at Carlton House in London, her birth being something of a miracle as George IV later claimed that he and his wife had sex no more than three times in the whole of their marriage. By the time she was a few months old, Charlotte's parents were effectively separated, and her mother's time with her was severely restricted by her father. She grew into a headstrong and difficult teenager, and fell out with her mother when Caroline decided to go into continental exile. Following an ill-fated attempt to wed her to Prince William of Orange (later William II of the Netherlands) which she broke off after he made a drunken exhibition of himself at Ascot races, she spent much of her time restricted to Cranbourne Lodge at Windsor, Berkshire from July 1814 to January 1816 while Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld lobbied the Prince Regent and the British Parliament for the right to court her. Marriage - Charlotte married Prince Leopold George Christian Frederick of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (to whom Parliament had granted a 50,000 pound per year annuity for his own life, which would survive his wife) on May 2, 1816, at Carlton House. Contemporary accounts describe their marriage as happy and contented, and they lived at Claremont, a wedding gift from the nation. Charlotte confided that her husband was 'the perfection of a lover.'
