After the birth of Britain’s youngest princess, the next best story, despite the upcoming general elections in the UK, was the name of the child.

According to Kensington palace, the daughter of Duchess Kate and Prince William will take on the name Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. The choice of the triple name satisfies the whole royal family, since Charlotte is the female version of Charles, and the names Elizabeth and Diana and obvious choices for obvious reasons.

Charlotte, however, is surely destined to have a better life than the last Princess who bore the same name in Britain, and lived a short, unhappy life in Britain on the 19th century.

The 19th century Charlotte was the daughter of George IV and Princess Caroline of  Brunswick. She became the focal point of her parents’ fight. The relations between the couple were so bad that after George was crowned, Caroline was forbidden from entering the Westminster Abbey.

Charlotte was a lively and happy girl by nature, but was raised by governesses, and had to constantly deal with her egocentric father’s character and her mother’s eccentricity and provocative way of life. Even though she spent months, in a year, with each one, her mother felt only like a visitor, and thus the girl received no motherly love.

At the age of twenty, Charlotte married prince Leopold, not out of love, but in an attempt to escape her father.  After two miscarriages, the third child was stillborn, and she died from hemorrhagic shock the next day, aged only 21.
