| | Augusta of Saxe-Gotha |
 | | Augusta of Saxe-Gotha (November 30, 1719-February 8, 1772), Princess of Wales (May 8, 1736 - March 31, 1751).She was one of only three holders of the title who never became queen. |
 | | Augusta was the daughter of Frederick II, Duke of Saxe-Gotha[?], and arrived in Britain, aged only seventeen and speaking virtually no English, for a wedding ceremony which took place almost immediately, on May 8, 1736, at the Chapel Royal in St James's Palace, London[?]. |
 | | The birth of their first daughter, Augusta, on August 31, 1737, took place at St James's after Augusta was forced by Frederick to travel from Hampton Court Palace while in labour, simply to prevent his hated mother, Caroline of Ansbach, and father, King George II, from being present at the birth. |
