The marriage was disastrous, however, as the prince took an instant dislike to her, and he did not even receive as much as he had hoped from parliament. Even while caroline produced an heir to the throne, princess charlotte, the prince did not relent. He sent caroline to live in a modest house in blackheath, south-east london, and only allowed her to visit her daughter once a fortnight. She soon tired of these restrictions, and spent several years travelling around europe, leading a colourful, adventurous life.
