* Dighton (Robert). The First Meeting of the Princess of Brunswick, with The Prince of Wales, and The Marriage of The Prince of Wales, to the Princess of Brunswick, pub.

The Prince Regent was appalled at the appearance of his bride and in the three days that elapsed between their first meeting and their marriage he found nothing about Princess Caroline that changed his initial opinion. The marriage was a farce as George immediately returned to his mistress`. The pair were never reconciled and the animosity that grew between them culminated in Caroline`s very public humiliation in being denied entrance to her husband`s coronation. (2)
