"The Princess Caroline I find is rather fatigued with Her journey, I shall not therefore fix the Evening for the Nuptials till I am informed how She finds Herself in the warm of tomorrow. The Marquis of Salisbury may rely on my giving him as early notice as possible."
In 1795, George IV married Caroline of Brunswick, with whom he produced a daughter in 1796, Princess Charlotte. Soon thereafter, the couple separated, and George's attempts to divorce Caroline failed.
