Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
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).

“As someone who firmly believes in the equality of men and women, I feel drawn to your cause and to do what I can to help raise further awareness of your work.

"There was nothing that I felt I wanted to hide away from. It was just something that happened in my life. I was always—I wouldn’t say proud of it, but I was glad I did it. I was supported through it as well. The Queen said: “Yes, go and do it,’ so I did. I think The Queen is an astonishing leader of people. She’s just a shining example to us all. And she goes on. It's incredible. She’s nearly 100." - Katharine, Duchess of Kent talking about her change in career to being a school music teacher and her cousin in laws [QEII] acceptance
