'Her Majesty Queen Caroline as she appeared a few hours after her decease', c1821.
'Her Majesty Queen Caroline as she appeared a few hours after her decease', c1821. Caroline Amelia Elizabeth of Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel (1768-1821) married the future King George IV of Great Britain in 1795.The marriage was a disaster, and Caroline lived estranged from her husband from 1796 onwards. When George ascended to the throne in 1820, Caroline returned to Britain, but George had already instigated divorce proceedings and she was barred from attending his coronation. On the night of the coronation, Caroline fell ill and died three weeks later on 7 August 1821. The exact cause of her death has never been ascertained, but it is believed that she herself was certain that she had been poisoned.
