Kew Gardens story
Princess Augusta
We have Princess Augusta, mother of King Jorge III, to thank the Kew embryonic garden, then known as Kew Park. He established a nine acres garden for exotic plants in 1759. Kew’s gardens emerged when the Richmond and Kew Royal Estates merged in 1772 under the reign of George III.
Augusta used the architect William Chambers to build architectural characteristics within botanical gardens, some of which no longer exist. These included a mosque, a confucil temple and an Alhambra Morish building. Grateful, the great page is still proud. Go to the top of this madness of Chinoiserie of degree I for some radical views of London. George III liked to drag his politicians to the top, knowing that they would be breathless and easier to manipulate.
In 1773, Brown’s capacity created the hollow walk, now known as Rhododendron Dell. It is one of the most popular Kew corners or gardens.
Queen Charlotte and Kew Palace
The Dutch house, as Kew Palace was known, was built for a rich silk merchant named Samuel Fortrey in 1631.
The roof in the dressing table is one of the few characteristics of the original House of SeventeenthTeentah Century designed by Fortrey.
George III became King in 1760, at the age of 22. As shown in BridgertonHe married Charlotte Mecklenburg-Strelitz only four hours after meeting her on September 8, 1761. The couple would have about 15 children for 21 years. Unlike his grandfather and children, he never touched a lover, and the couple was happy married until their mental illness sustains it in 1788.
The portrait of the enamel on the road of Charlotte is from George III, and it is believed that every day of his life.
Not as high as the Updos Bouffant de Golda Rosheuve in Bridgerton (For which he had to use an orthopedic device) This portrait shows the hairstyle that Charlotte wore in his last years.
On July 11, 1818, Charlotte and George’s son, Edward, Duke of Kent, married Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg in the queen’s drawing hall. They served the future Queen Victoria.
Bridgerton’s Queen Charlotte Kew’s location was filmed in Belton House in Lincolnshire. Queen Charlotte and King Jorge III also passed her honeymoon at Richmond Lodge. George would buy Buckingham House (now the site of the Buckingham Palace) in 1762 as another family retirement.
King Jorge “Crazy” in Kew
In 1801 and 1804, King Jorge III arrived at the Kew Palace for the treatment accompanied by Queen Charlotte and her daughter. As described in BridgertonThe treatment he received for Dr. Francis Willis was humiliating mental and physical.

Kew Palace, originally known as the Dutch house, was an annex of the biggest White House that was demolished in 1802. The “Crazy” King Jorge III passed here lasting his first episode of madness. Charlotte and his daughters lived up stairs while the king was convinced in the company of his doctors on the ground floor.
The dining room is where George III tried to escape once and was arrested sub -Secuaz. Queen Charlotte also lay in the state here in 1818. In happier and more recent times, it is also where the late Queen Elizabeth II organized her eighth birthday party. The dinner included hebridian smoked salmon, roasted juniper or deer loin from the Sandringham farm and chocolate birthday cake with fruits filling.
This bathtub must have the leg used by King Jorge III. It was discovered in a chimney opening during a palace renewal in 2012. To prevent the personnel from bringing water to the Kew palace (which had no water facilities), the king bathed in the real kitchens. The thesis wanted as a separate annex to ensure that the main house did not burn in case of a kitchen fire.
Where is Queen Charlotte buried?
In June 1818, Queen Charlotte was sick tasks on a London trip to Windsor. He stopped at Kew Palace to valuable himself from what he thought would be a few days, but never recovered. He died on November 17 in the bedroom in this black horse chair.
This pendant upbringing, which can be seen on the upper floor of the Kew palace, was made for Queen Charlotte after her death. He hung on Kew Palace when she died.
Queen Charlotte is buried in the San Jorge chapel in Windsor Castle along with her husband, King Jorge III. This real chapel is also where its late Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret and Henry VIII are buried, to name a few reais. Queen Charlotte’s funeral courtship traveled from Kew to Windsor on December 2, 1818. Upon arriving in Windsor, the cobbled streets were placed to cover the sounds of the carriage of poor King George.

In 1771, Charlotte had a cabin built for her in the Kew Gardens gardens called Queen Charlotte’s Cottage. Like the Petit Trianon by Marie Antoinette in Versailles, the cabin was used as a bucolic retreat. George III and Queen Charlotte also installed a collection or animals, including the country’s first kangaroos in the early 1790s.
