On 2 May 1816, Leopold married Princess Charlotte of Wales at Carlton House in London.Charlotte was the only legitimate child of the Prince Regent George (later King George IV) and therefore second in line to the British throne. On 5 November 1817, after having suffered a miscarriage, Princess Charlotte gave birth to a stillborn son.
She herself died the next day following complications. Leopold was said to have been heartbroken by her death. Alternate Names: "British Views" I. Category: British Themes / Places. Border: Floral and Botanical / Alternating Flowers / British Views: Maker Unknown I.

It was given by the Prince Regent to Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold of Saxe Colberg, Germany. Princess Charlotte Augusta was the only child of George Prince of Wales. Sadly, the princess died in 1817. The plate is 9.7 inches (24.6cm) in diameter. Condition: The plate is in very good condition with no damage and no restoration. There is some very small roughness on the edge of the rim from soot kiln debris in the glazing or making. On the face you can see a very tiny soot mark to left of the estate house, in photo.
