Victoria: I failed my safety training course today.
Edward: Why, what happened?
Victoria: Well, one of the questions was "In case of a fire, what steps would you take?"
Edward: And?
Victoria: Well, apparently "F***ING LARGE ONES" isn't an acceptable answer.

On July 11th, 1818, a double wedding was held at Kew Palace. The grooms were the future William IV, and his younger brother Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent. They were marrying Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen and Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld respectively, and the brides were given away by the elder brother of the grooms, the Prince Regent. 
The reason for the double wedding? George III’s only legitimate grandchild, Princess Charlotte Augusta, had died in childbirth the previous year along with her son. With his two eldest sons long estranged from their wives, this led to the next two sons abandoning their mistresses and illegitimate children in an effort to father a legitimate heir to the throne. 
Although Adelaide and William had the first child, she and the four siblings who came after her did not survive long, or were stillborn. It was ultimately the Duke and Duchess of Kent who would give birth to the future monarch, Queen Victoria.

The wife of Duke Ernest III of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld was the heiress to Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg so, when her father died in 1826, the latter title fell to Ernest as Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.

Princess Charlotte was the only child of George, prince of Wales, later George IV and Princess Caroline of Brunswick. After her parents separated, she joined the Prince of Wales’ household at Carlton House and then was taken to live at the Lower Lodge, Windsor Castle, from 1805 onwards. Her relationship with her father was distant, particularly when she broke off her engagement to William, the Hereditary Duke of Orange, in 1813. In May 1816, she married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, later King of the Belgians, but died soon after the birth of a stillborn son in 1817. She had become a very popular figure and was deeply mourned both by her husband and the general public.
The miniature has been worked up from a pencil drawing by George Sanders made during sittings he had in 1813 for a portrait the princess wanted to give her father for a birthday present.
The miniature is set in a hinged case with a lock of Princess Charlotte’s hair. The front of the locket is black enamel with a coronet of rubies and diamonds and her monogram PC. The plain gold back is engraved: Elle fut heureuse / Ah! Ne la plaignez pas (She was happy. Ah! do not weep for her).
