After James Lonsdale (1777 - 1839).

George, Prince of Wales, was prevailed upon to marry his cousin Caroline of Brunswick as his part of a deal; in return, parliament promised to pay off his enormous debts. George had already married Maria Fitzherbert, a Roman Catholic widow; however, the marriage was void in accordance with the terms of the Royal Marriages Act of 1772. The Prince of Wales also had a number of mistresses; one of them, Lady Jersey, went to meet Caroline when she arrived from Brunswick on 5 April 1795. Caroline was twenty-six years old, of stocky build and little to her credit apart from a fine head of hair. She spoke too much and very coarsely, dressed dowdily, had little moral reticence or good sense. She seems to have had an aversion to washing either her person or her clothes. Consequently she smelled. When Princess Caroline arrived at St James' Palace the Prince of Wales came to visit her. After greeting her, he turned to the Earl of Malmesbury saying, 'Harris, I am not well. Pray get me a glass of brandy'. He then left the room. Caroline's comment to Malmesbury was , 'I find him very stout and by no means as handsome as his portrait'. The ill-matched pair were married on 8 April 1795 and it soon became clear that the Prince of Wales would not tolerate his wife's company unless he was drunk. The marriage was consummated and on 7 January 1796 a daughter, Charlotte, was born to the couple. By March, the proud parents were living separately and rarely spoke to each other. D: 22

Caroline of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, later Queen Caroline (1768 - 1821), was the wife of George IV from 1795, and his queen consort from 29 January 1820 until her death. Shortly after giving birth to Princess Charlotte of Wales, Carolin and George separated, and after she moved to Italy in 1814 rumours surrounding her relationship with her servant Bartolomeo Pergami (also spelt Bergami) culminated in her trial for adultery in 1820. This portrait was published during the investigation. For the trial, see ref. 13462; for Pergami, see refs. 131, 4335 and 11157

Queen Caroline of Brunswick (1768-1821), the Queen consort of King George IV. In 1814, she first met Bartolomeo Bergami and employed him as a servant. Their relationship grew strong, friendly and intimate. It was widely rumoured that they were lovers and so the King, now with a reason, could forge ahead with the divorce. Instead of treating her like a Queen, the church, George and the court introduced a bill in Parliament, the Pains and Penalties Bill 1820, which stripped Caroline of the title of queen consort and dissolve her marriage.
