Background
Mrs Wakelin went to be nurse for the birth of Charlotte's daughter, Princess Feodora, born 12th May 1879. It is said that Charlotte was the only one in her family who chose her own spouse. Sadly, both Charlotte and Feodora inherited the royal porphyria and this may have caused Charlotte's later erratic behaviour.
