On This Day In History . 11 July 1818 . King William IV married Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen at Kew. . . ◼ At Kew on 11 July 1818, Prince William, Duke of Clarence and St Andrews (later King William IV) married Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, the daughter of George I, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen. . ◼ William married Adelaide in a double wedding with William's brother, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, and his bride Victoria, Dowager Princess of Leiningen. They had only met for the first time about a week earlier, on 4 July at Grillon's Hotel in Bond Street. . ◼ Neither William nor Adelaide had been married before, and William was twenty-seven years her senior. . ◼ Their marriage, which lasted almost twenty years until William's death, was a happy one. . ◼ For their first year of marriage, the couple lived in economical fashion in Germany, & William's debts were soon on the way to being paid, especially since Parliament had voted him an increased allowance, which he reluctantly accepted after his requests to increase it further were refused. William is not known to have had mistresses after his marriage. . ◼ The couple had two short-lived daughters, in her seventh month of pregnancy, she caught pleurisy and gave birth prematurely on 27 March 1819 during the illness. Her daughter, Charlotte, lived only a few hours; &  Princess Elizabeth of Clarence (b.10 December 1820 – d.4 March 1821) & Adelaide suffered three miscarriages. Despite this, false rumours that Adelaide was pregnant persisted into William's reign—he dismissed them as "damned stuff". . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1818 #RoyalWedding #d11jul #WilliamIV #KingWilliamIV #QueenAdelaide #AdelaideofSaxeMeiningen #HouseofHanover #Monarchy #History #RoyaltyinArt #BritishMonarchy #RoyalHistory #Adelaide #historyfacts #Theking #thequeen #OnThisDay #BuckinghamPalace #kensingtonpalace #windsorcastle #Crown #London #Monarch #KingWilliam #instahistory (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzylKmJHwar/?igshid=1njc4r88pfgjt
