For the later Princess of Great Britain called Louisa, see Princess Louisa of Great Britain.
Louise of Great Britain (7 December 1724 – 19 December 1751) was the youngest surviving daughter of George II of Great Britain and Caroline of Ansbach, and became queen consort of Denmark and Norway.
[edit] Early lifeHRH Princess Louise was born, fifth daughter and youngest child of George, Prince of Wales and Caroline of Ansbach, on 7 December 1724, at Leicester House, London. She was baptised there on 22 December. On 11 June 1727, when Louise was two years old, her grandfather, George I, died, and her father ascended the throne as George II. As a child of the sovereign, she became automatically entitled to the style HRH The Princess Louise. [edit] MarriageShe married the Prince Frederick of Denmark and Norway, on 11 December 1743 at Altona, Holstein and took the courtesy style of HRH Princess Frederick of Denmark and Norway. The couple had five children, one of whom did not survive birth. Although the marriage was arranged, the couple got along quite well. Frederick was comfortable with her, and Louise pretended not to notice his adultery. When her husband ascended the throne, on 6 August 1746, as Frederick V, she became queen consort, thus becoming known as HM The Queen of Denmark and Norway. Queen Louise was very popular in Denmark, and it is estimated that her popularity also made her husband popular. Interested in music, dance and theatre, the royal court was given a more easy going tone than under her strictly religious parent-in-laws. In 1747, she arranged for the Italian opera company of Pietro Mingotti to play at the royal court theatre, and in 1748, the French Du Londel Troupe was invited for dramatic performances. She was very appreciated for her effort to speak the Danish language, as the royal Danish court was mostly German to its language, and her effort to speak Danish with her children became much appreciated. She was described as well educated and good at conversation, not beautiful but very dignified and well suited in her part as a queen. She died due to complications from a miscarriage. [edit] Later lifeLouise died on 19 December 1751, at Christiansborg Palace, Copenhagen, predeceasing her husband by fourteen years, and was buried at Roskilde Cathedral. She was pregnant with her sixth child, who also died. [edit] Titles, styles, honours and arms[edit] Titles and styles
