<br />
==Early life==<br />
Princess Charlotte of Wales was born on 26 May 1959 at {{wpl|Buckingham Palace}} in {{wpl|London}}, {{wpl|England}}. She was the first child of [[William V of the United Kingdom|King William V]] and [[Margaret of Prussia|Queen Margaret]] (née Princess Margaret of Prussia). Her father was the eldest son of [[William IV of the United Kingdom|King William IV]] and [[Queen Thyra of the United Kingdom|Thyra of Denmark]]. Her mother was the daughter of {{wpl|Prince Wilhelm of Prussia (1906-1940)|Prince Wilhelm of Prussia}}, a grandson of {{wpl|Wilhelm II|Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany}}.<br />
<br />
She was christened in the Private Chapel of Buckingham Palace on 20 September 1959. Her godparents were her paternal aunt [[Louise, Queen of Autelia|Queen Louise of Autelia]], her cousin {{wpl|Queen Margrethe II of Denmark}}, her paternal uncle [[Prince Frederick, Duke of Cambridge]], and her maternal aunt {{wpl|Prince Wilhelm of Prussia (1906-1940)|Princess Felicitas of Prussia}}. <br />
<br />
She was named Charlotte for her paternal great-great-great-grandmother [[Charlotte I of the United Kingdom|Queen Charlotte I]], Elizabeth for her maternal great-great-grandmother [[Elizabeth, German Empress]], Margaret for her mother, Thyra for her paternal grandmother [[Queen Thyra of the United Kingdom|Queen Thyra]], and Louise for her paternal aunt, [[Louise, Queen of Autelia|Queen Louise of Autelia]].<br />
<br />
She was joined by two younger sisters: [[Princess Anne, Lady Bletsow|Princess Anne]] in 1961, and [[Princess Catherine of the United Kingdom|Princess Catherine]] in 1963. The family resided mainly in {{wpl|Buckingham Palace}}, whilst spending summers at {{wpl|Balmoral Castle}} in Scotland and the Christmas holidays at {{wpl|Sandringham House}} in {{wpl|Norfolk}}.<br />
<br />
To her family and close friends, she is known affectionately as "Lotta". <br />
<br />
From the ages of 4 until 12, Charlotte was educated at home by her governesses alongside her younger sisters, before completing her education at the all-girls boarding school {{wpl|Benenden School|Benenden}} in {{wpl|Kent}}. <br />
<br />
When she turned 18 years old in 1977, Charlotte began taking on official duties and patronages, and often spent time with her father learning about the monarch's role and responsibilities. <br />
<br />
==Marriage and children==<br />
Shortly after turning 18 and leaving school, Charlotte became acquainted with [[Prince George, Duke of Ross|Lord George Walpole]], who was two years her senior. Walpole's sister, [[Anna Bestwick, Viscountess Cabourne|Lady Anna Walpole]], was a classmate and friend of Charlotte's at Benenden. Lord George and the Princess quickly struck up a friendship, which then developed into a romantic relationship not long afterwards. Close friends and contemporaries of the couple have described it as a "whirlwind romance". After several months of dating, Walpole visited the King and Queen at Buckingham Palace to ask for their daughter's hand in marriage. The King and Queen agreed, and Walpole proposed to Charlotte in February 1978. <br />
<br />
The couple's engagement was announced on 21 February 1978. They married on 13 July 1978 at Westminster Abbey, with over 2,000 guests in attendance and a landmark number of people watching the ceremony at home on television. They then set off on their honeymoon, choosing to spend a week in {{wpl|Australia}} followed by a week in a cottage on the {{wpl|Balmoral Estate}} in {{wpl|Aberdeenshire}}. <br />
<br />
On the morning of the wedding ceremony, King William bestowed the title of {{wpl|Duke of Ross}} upon Walpole, and also made him a {{wpl|British prince}} with the style of ''{{wpl|Royal Highness}}''. Charlotte thus became known as Princess Charlotte, Duchess of Ross.<br />

She serves as patron to over 400 charities and organisations, and regularly works with many of them.<br />
<br />
==Early life==<br />
Princess Charlotte of Wales was born on 26 May 1959 at {{wpl|Buckingham Palace}} in {{wpl|London}}, {{wpl|England}}. She was the first child of [[William V of the United Kingdom|King William V]] and [[Margaret of Prussia|Queen Margaret]] (née Princess Margaret of Prussia). Her father was the eldest son of [[William IV of the United Kingdom|King William IV]] and [[Queen Thyra of the United Kingdom|Thyra of Denmark]]. Her mother was the daughter of {{wpl|Prince Wilhelm of Prussia (1906-1940)|Prince Wilhelm of Prussia}}, a grandson of {{wpl|Wilhelm II|Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany}}.<br />
<br />
She was christened in the Private Chapel of Buckingham Palace on 20 September 1959. Her godparents were her paternal aunt [[Louise, Queen of Autelia|Queen Louise of Autelia]], her cousin {{wpl|Queen Margrethe II of Denmark}}, her paternal uncle [[Prince Frederick, Duke of Cambridge]], and her maternal aunt {{wpl|Prince Wilhelm of Prussia (1906-1940)|Princess Felicitas of Prussia}}. <br />
<br />
She was named Charlotte for her paternal great-great-great-grandmother [[Charlotte I of the United Kingdom|Queen Charlotte I]], Elizabeth for her maternal great-great-grandmother [[Elizabeth, German Empress]], Margaret for her mother, Thyra for her paternal grandmother [[Queen Thyra of the United Kingdom|Queen Thyra]], and Louise for her paternal aunt, [[Louise, Queen of Autelia|Queen Louise of Autelia]].<br />
<br />
She was joined by two younger sisters: [[Princess Anne, Lady Bletsow|Princess Anne]] in 1961, and [[Princess Catherine of the United Kingdom|Princess Catherine]] in 1963. The family resided mainly in {{wpl|Buckingham Palace}}, whilst spending summers at {{wpl|Balmoral Castle}} in Scotland and the Christmas holidays at {{wpl|Sandringham House}} in {{wpl|Norfolk}}.<br />
<br />
To her family and close friends, she is known affectionately as "Lotta". <br />
<br />
From the ages of 4 until 12, Charlotte was educated at home by her governesses alongside her younger sisters, before completing her education at the all-girls boarding school {{wpl|Benenden School|Benenden}} in {{wpl|Kent}}. <br />
<br />
When she turned 18 years old in 1977, Charlotte began taking on official duties and patronages, and often spent time with her father learning about the monarch's role and responsibilities. <br />
<br />
==Marriage and children==<br />
Shortly after turning 18 and leaving school, Charlotte became acquainted with [[Prince George, Duke of Ross|Lord George Walpole]], who was two years her senior. Walpole's sister, [[Lady Anna Walpole]], was a classmate and friend of Charlotte's at Benenden. Lord George and the Princess quickly struck up a friendship, which then developed into a romantic relationship not long afterwards. Close friends and contemporaries of the couple have described it as a "whirlwind romance". After several months of dating, Walpole visited the King and Queen at Buckingham Palace to ask for their daughter's hand in marriage. The King and Queen agreed, and Walpole proposed to Charlotte in February 1978. <br />
<br />
The couple's engagement was announced on 21 February 1978.

They then set off on their honeymoon, choosing to spend a week in {{wpl|Australia}} followed by a week in a cottage on the {{wpl|Balmoral Estate}} in {{wpl|Aberdeenshire}}. <br />
<br />
On the morning of the wedding ceremony, King William bestowed the title of {{wpl|Duke of Ross}} upon Walpole, and also made him a {{wpl|British prince}} with the style of ''{{wpl|Royal Highness}}''. Charlotte thus became known as Princess Charlotte, Duchess of Ross.<br />

She was named Charlotte for her paternal great-great-great-grandmother [[Charlotte I of the United Kingdom|Queen Charlotte I]], Elizabeth for her maternal great-great-grandmother [[Elizabeth, German Empress]], Margaret for her mother, Thyra for her paternal grandmother [[Queen Thyra of the United Kingdom|Queen Thyra]], and Louise for her paternal aunt, [[Louise, Queen of Autelia|Queen Louise of Autelia]].<br />
<br />
She was joined by two younger sisters: [[Princess Anne, Lady Bletsow|Princess Anne]] in 1961, and [[Princess Catherine of the United Kingdom|Princess Catherine]] in 1963. The family resided mainly in {{wpl|Buckingham Palace}}, whilst spending summers at {{wpl|Balmoral Castle}} in Scotland and the Christmas holidays at {{wpl|Sandringham House}} in {{wpl|Norfolk}}.<br />
<br />
To her family and close friends, she is known affectionately as "Lotta". <br />
<br />
From the ages of 4 until 12, Charlotte was educated at home by her governesses alongside her younger sisters, before completing her education at the all-girls boarding school {{wpl|Benenden School|Benenden}} in {{wpl|Kent}}. <br />
<br />
When she turned 18 years old in 1977, Charlotte began taking on official duties and patronages, and often spent time with her father learning about the monarch's role and responsibilities. <br />
<br />
==Marriage and children==<br />
Shortly after turning 18 and leaving school, Charlotte became acquainted with [[George, Prince Consort|Lord George Walpole]], who was two years her senior. Walpole's sister, [[Lady Anna Walpole]], was a classmate and friend of Charlotte's at Benenden. Lord George and the Princess quickly struck up a friendship, which then developed into a romantic relationship not long afterwards. Close friends and contemporaries of the couple have described it as a "whirlwind romance". After several months of dating, Walpole visited the King and Queen at Buckingham Palace to ask for their daughter's hand in marriage. The King and Queen agreed, and Walpole proposed to Charlotte in February 1978. <br />
<br />
The couple's engagement was announced on 21 February 1978. They married on 13 July 1978 at Westminster Abbey, with over 2,000 guests in attendance and a landmark number of people watching the ceremony at home on television. They then set off on their honeymoon, choosing to spend a week in {{wpl|Australia}} followed by a week in a cottage on the {{wpl|Balmoral Estate}} in {{wpl|Aberdeenshire}}. <br />
<br />
On the morning of the wedding ceremony, King William bestowed the title of {{wpl|Duke of Ross}} upon Walpole, and also the style of ''{{wpl|Royal Highness}}'', and made him a Knight of the {{wpl|Order of the Garter}}. Charlotte thus became known as Princess Charlotte, Duchess of Ross.<br />
