Engagement of George and Caroline
- When
- 1794
- Where
- Brunswick and Britain (diplomatic context)
Caroline was engaged in 1794 to her first cousin George, Prince of Wales, whom she had never met, deemed a Protestant of royal birth.
In 1794 Caroline and the Prince of Wales were engaged. Caroline, daughter of the Duke of Brunswick and Princess Augusta of Great Britain, had never met her first cousin. She seemed eminently suitable: a Protestant of royal birth, and the marriage would ally Brunswick and Britain. George III refused to aid his son unless he married Princess Caroline of Brunswick, as the Prince's debts continued to climb.
