Princess of Windsor Struggled With Illness and Sorrow
The 15 year old princess endured a disabling lameness and, from age 25, a hopeless invalid life despite wealth. In 1809 observers noted her shrinking garden walks at Windsor Castle as she declined. Her father, half blind and often lucid only briefly, was devastated when she pressed him with a hair mourning ring bearing the words Remember me. She died at 27, leaving a legacy of sorrow and a harsh line attributed to her, though critics question its fit with her life.
