Maria Anne Fitzherbert, née Smythe (26 July 1756 27 March 1837), was the first woman with whom the future King George IV of the United Kingdom undertook a wedding ceremony, and his companion for a large part of his adult life.
Maria Anne was the eldest child of Walter Smythe of Brambridge, Hampshire, and Mary Ann Errington.
Maria and the Prince continued to see one another romantically even after the Prince's marriage to Caroline of Brunswick, and the prince returned to live with Maria in about 1800, but their relationship had ended permanently by 1811.
