Catalogue Note: Caroline of Brunswick was married in 1795 to King George IV (then Prince of Wales), who was already illegally married to Maria Fitzherbert. She separated from George in 1806, but refused to divorce him and challenged her opportunity to be queen in 1820 which led to court cases and an overwhelming support of her from the country of Britain, but was cut short by her death following an illness in 1821.
