The DEATHS Of The Georgian Queens 

The DEATHS Of The Georgian Kings Wives
Sophia Dorothea
Over time, Sophia Dorothea's health declined. She became overweight and frequently suffered from fevers, colds, and indigestion. In early 1726, she had a stroke, and by August, she was bedridden with severe colic and refused treatment. She died on November 13, 1726, at age 60, from liver failure and gallstones.
Her former husband announced her death in The London Gazette but prohibited mourning. Angered by the court in Berlin wearing black, he showed little regard for her passing. Sophia Dorothea's body was placed in a lead coffin and stored in a cellar. Due to heavy rains, her burial was delayed until May 1727. Finally, she was interred secretly at night next to her parents in the Stadtkirche in Celle. George I died just four weeks later while visiting Hanover.
Caroline Of Ansbach
In her final years, Caroline suffered from gout and had complications from an umbilical hernia she developed during the birth of her last child in 1724. On November 9, 1737, she experienced severe pain and took to her bed after struggling through a formal event. Her condition worsened as part of her small intestine protruded through the hernia. Despite bleeding, purging, and surgery without anesthesia, her health continued to decline.
George I denied Frederick permission to visit his mother, but Caroline sent him a message of forgiveness through Walpole. She requested that her husband remarry after her death, but he refused, stating he would only take mistresses. Caroline’s final response was, "Ah, mon Dieu, cela n'empêche pas" ("My God, that doesn't prevent it"). On November 17, her bowel burst, and she died on November 20, 1737, at St James's Palace.
Queen Charlotte
The Queen passed away with her eldest son, the Prince Regent, by her side, holding her hand as she sat in an armchair at the family’s country retreat, Dutch House in Surrey (now known as Kew Palace). She was laid to rest at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Her husband died just over a year later. She remains the longest-serving female consort and the second-longest-serving consort in British history (after Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh), having served from her marriage on September 8, 1761, until her death on November 17, 1818, totaling 57 years and 70 days.
Caroline Of Brunswick
After her unsuccessful attempt to attend her husband's coronation, Caroline fell ill and took a large dose of milk of magnesia along with some laudanum. Over the following three weeks, her condition worsened, causing increasing pain. Realizing her end was near, she arranged her affairs, including burning her papers, letters, memoirs, and notebooks. She wrote a new will and planned her funeral, specifying that she be buried in her native Brunswick with a tomb bearing the inscription, "Here lies Caroline, the Injured Queen of England."
Caroline passed away at Brandenburgh House in Hammersmith at 10:25 p.m. on August 7, 1821, at the age of 53. While her doctors believed she had an intestinal obstruction, cancer was also a possibility, and there were rumors of poisoning at the time.
Mary Of Teck
Mary passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 24, 1953, at the age of 85, just ten weeks before her granddaughter's coronation. She had expressed that the coronation should proceed as planned, regardless of her death. Her body lay in state at Westminster Hall, where many mourners paid their respects. She was buried alongside her husband in the nave of St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
Her will was sealed in London after her death, and her estate was valued at £406,407, equivalent to about £13 million in 2023 when adjusted for inflation.
Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon
On March 30, 2002, at 3:15 PM GMT, Elizabeth passed away at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, at the age of 101. Her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, was at her side. Having suffered from a chest cold since Christmas 2001, Elizabeth became the first British royal family member to live past 100 years. At the time of her death, she was the longest-living member of the British royal family. Her sister-in-law, Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, lived longer, reaching the age of 102 before her death on October 29, 2004. Elizabeth was among the longest-lived members of any royal family.
