What happened to King George III and Queen Charlotte's 15 children?
Sure, families were a lot bigger a few centuries ago, but King George III and Queen Charlotte really went for it and had 15 children! These men and women ended up shaping the British monarchy, and a few tried to steer the British royal family in different directions. Some even became kings themselves.
From the moment George III's first child was born, in 1762, to when the last one died, in 1857, in this gallery you'll learn all about who his 15 children were, and their contributions to history. Click on for more.
George IV
George IV's nickname was "Prinny." He was a big spender, who loved food, fashion, alcohol, and women. George IV had many illegitimate children with his mistress, and only married Princess Caroline of Brunswick so that Parliament would pay off his debts.
Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex
Prince Augustus Frederick was a very well educated man, loved reading, and apparently could sing, too. He married twice, and was a much loved father figure for his niece, the future Queen Victoria (he even gave Victoria away at her wedding).
Princess Amelia of the United Kingdom
But Princess Amelia never got to marry him. She was King George III and Queen Charlotte's third child (and first daughter) to die, aged 27, in 1810.
