Queen Charlotte (1744-1818) was the youngest daughter of a brother of the third Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The royal marriage having been arranged, she travelled to England in 1761 and married George Ill the day they met. She bore the King fifteen children, was thoroughly domestic in her interests, and never discussed matters of state with her husband. Horace Walpole described her thus at the time of her marriage: 'She is not tall nor a beauty. Pale and very thin; but looks sensible and genteel. Her hair is darkish and fine; her forehead low, her nose very well, except the nostrils spreading too wide. The mouth has the same fault, but her teeth are good. She talks a great deal, and French tolerably.' Queen Charlotte said that she knew no real sorrow in her marriage until the King went insane.
