Their Royal Highnesses Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, &c. &c. in Their Box at Covent Garden Theatre

Various artists/makers

Not on view

This portrait of Princess Charlotte of Wales and her husband Prince Leopold (later Leopold I, King of the Belgians) was made soon after their 1816 marrage and shows the couple attending London's Covent Garden Theatre. Tragically, Charlotte would die within the year giving birth to her first child. Had she lived, she would have become Britain's monarch after her father George IV.
