PRINCE REGENT ‘On the eighth day of April, 1795, was solemnized, at the Chapel Royal, St. James’s, the Marriage of His Royal Highness George Augustus Frederick, Prince of Wales, with Her Royal Highness Caroline Amelia Elizabeth, second daughter of the late Duke of Brunswick, by his consort Augusta, eldest sister of his present Majesty George III. And on the seventh day of January, 1796, was born, at Carlton House, the Princess Charlotte Caroline Augusta, their sole issue.’ From: 1817 Life and death of Her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte by Edwin B. Hamil”
“Prince George IV became Prince Regent when parliament decided that his father, King George III, was too ill to continue ruling Britain. George IV was Regent from 1811 until his father’s death in 1820, when he was crowned as King George IV. He ruled Britain until his death in 1820.
Gentlemen who had inherited titles, estates, and wealth often had a town house in London, where they spent all their time when parliament was sitting and attended the House of Lords by day and socialized at night throughout ‘The Season’. These town houses were often very grand, especially the ones London’s most fashionable squares.
“The definition of a gentleman is a man who does no actual physical work, and the sticklers amongst the Beau Monde, those who lived in the ‘beautiful world’ of high society, would have died rather than admit that they had dirtied their hands doing any type of menial work. Yet, money was needed to run a gentleman’s town house, his estates, keep his family fashionably clothed, give his sons their quarterly allowances, and provide a London season for his daughters.
Many titled gentlemen were land rich and income poor. Therefore, they needed to work, though never manual work. They made investments in shipping companies or in cargoes being imported and exported. They watched the stock market closely, hung around the coffee shops of Threadneedle Street to glean tips on stock trading, and employed jobbers to act of their behalf at the Stock Exchange. They knew the way places like the East India Company, the Corn Exchange, and the Bank of England worked and took an active interest in the latest financial news, even if that interest only meant perusing the daily newspapers and making decisions on business ideas with their friends over dinner in one of their clubs. books2read.com/suziloveYGD
The wedding dress of Princess Charlotte Augusta as described in La Belle Assemblee magazine for May, 1816.
1816 May Wedding Dress Of Princess Charlotte of Wales (1796-1817). Worn at her wedding to Prince Leopold Saxe-Coburg. Silk satin high-waisted bodice with short puffed sleeves, dipping neckline, underskirt, overskirt, train and apron. Created by Mrs Triaud, London dressmaker although this may not be the original skirt. Metallic embroidery was very fashionable for court dress in early 19th Century despite the cost and delicacy but was an unusual choice for Princess Charlotte who preferred to dress simply. via Museum of London, UK. museumoflondon.org.uk
“As we have been gratified with a sight of the wedding dresses of this amiable and illustrious female, a particular yet concise account of them cannot but be acceptable to our fair readers. The Royal Bride, happy in obtaining him whom her heart had selected, and whom consenting friends approved, wore on her countenance that tranquil and chastened joy which a female so situated could not fail to experience.
Her fine fair hair, elegantly yet simply arranged, owed more to its natural beautiful wave than to the art of the friseur; it was crowned with a most superb wreath of brilliants, forming rosebuds with their leaves. Her dress was silver lama [lamé] on net, over a silver tissue slip, embroidered at the bottom with silver lama in shells and flowers. Body and sleeves to correspond, elegantly trimmed with point Brussels lace.
The manteau was of silver tissue lined with white satin, with a border of embroidery to answer that on the dress, and fastened in front with a splendid diamond ornament. Such was the bridal dress … The jewellery of the royal bride is most superb; beside the wreath, are a diamond cestus, ear- rings, and an armlet of great value, with a superb set of pearls.

1811-1820 Regency Era Overview. The British Regency was the period from 1811-1820. King George III was deemed mad and unfit to rule so his son became his proxy, the Prince Regent, or Prinny to his close friends. The Prince Regent was often a figure of ridicule in Jane Austen’s times and featured regularly in caricatures, or cartoons, as a fat man who overindulged in everything and spent an exorbitant amount of money.
As a period in Britain’s official history, the Regency lasted less than ten years, although scholars apply the term Regency to a much longer period. It began in 1811, when George Ill was declared mad and the Prince of Wales was appointed Regent. It ended in 1820 when the King finally died and the Regent was crowned George IV. However, the Regency was a period in Britain’s history that had an effect on the social and cultural life for four decades, from the start of the French Revolution in 1789 to the passing of Britain’s Great Reform Act in 1832.
The decision to make George IV the Regent took a lot of political debate. After nearly two and a half months of political wrangling, the British government agreed to grant the title of Prince Regent on George. The Act of Parliament was finally passed by a commission in the House of Lords on February 5th 1811 and the Prince was formally sworn in as Regent at Carlton House the next day. He continued to rule as Regent until 1820 when, on his father’s death, he assumed the title George IV and reigned until his own death in 1830.
During the Regency, royalty and upper class ladies and lords, or the Beau Monde, lived elegant and extravagant lives that also allowed excesses and depravity. Britain was united behind exceptional heroes in long wars against France, but internally divided by class distinction and political agitation. The foundations of a modem industrial nation were laid by engineers, inventors and scientists. while Romantic poets and visionary artists dreamt of escape to earlier times and more ideal worlds.
