Princess of Wales et al. in Blackheath, Kent - 29 May, 1812
from Diary of Mary Berry, 29 May 1812, page 499:
The Princess Charlotte and Lady de Clifford arrived just as we finished our drive. We all sat down to dinner without making any toilette. The young Princess was very gay, very talkative, in very good humour, and very —, all one could expect from a young girl of sixteen, very quick and very lively, and very ill brought up. After dinner she played all sorts of things upon the piano. Her musical memory is astonishing.
