Augusta Sophia (8 November 1768 - 22 September 1840) was a member of the
British Royal Family, second daughter of George III and Charlotte of
Mecklenburg-Strelitz. She was a Princess of the United Kingdom and a
Princess of Hanover. Princess Augusta Sophia was born at Buckingham
House, St James's Park, London, the sixth child and second daughter of
George III (1738-1820) and his wife Queen Charlotte. Her father so much
wanted the new baby to be a girl that the doctor presiding over the
labor thought fit to protest that "whoever sees those lovely Princes
above stairs must be glad to have another." The King was so upset by
this view he replied that "whoever sees that lovely child the Princess
Royal above stairs must not wish to have the fellow to her." To the
King's delight, and the Queen's relief, the baby was a small and pretty
girl.
