Friederike Charlotte, Princess of Prussia 2
     Friederike Charlotte Ulrike Katherine Prinzessin von Preußen was born on 7 May 1767 at Berlin-Charlottenburg, Brandenburg, Germany.3 She was the daughter of Friedrich Wilhelm II König von Preußen and Elisabeth Christina Ulrike Herzogin von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel. She married Frederick Augustus Hanover, 1st Duke of York, son of George III Hanover, King of Great Britain and Sophie Charlotte Herzogin von Mecklenburg-Strelitz, on 29 September 1791 at Berlin-Charlottenburg, Brandenburg, Germany.4 She died on 6 August 1820 at age 53 at Oatlands Park, Weybridge, Surrey, England.4 She was buried on 14 August 1820 at Weybridge Church, Weybridge, Surrey, England.4
     Friederike Charlotte Ulrike Katherine Prinzessin von Preußen was a member of the House of Hohenzollern. She gained the title of Prinzessin von Preußen.1
     Lord Malmesbury writes to the Duke of Portland from Coblenz in 1791, that "she is far from handsome, but lively, sensible, and very tractable, and if only one tenth part of the attachment they now shew for each other other remains, it will be very sufficient to make an excellent ménage." Greville speaks of her as "clever and well-informed; she like society and dislikes all form and ceremony, but in the midst of the most familiar intercourse she always preserves a certain dignity of manner' and again 'probably no person in such a situation was ever more really liked." She is described as "a harmless but an eccentric little woman, with extraordinary fondness for cats and dogs, some indications of the German severity of family etiquette, which gave her household the air of Potsdam, and but a slight share of those attractions which might retain the regards of a husband-young, a soldier and a prince."4
