When the Regent's only child, Princess Charlotte, died in childbirth in 1817, Parliament offered the incentive of paying the Duke of Clarence's large debts if he married and secured the succession in the next generation, William deserted Mrs Jordan without qualms. A marriage was arranged with Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, daughter of George Duke of Saxe-Meiningen and Louisa Eleanora of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. A double ceremony, shared by his brother, Edward, Duke of Kent and his bride, Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfield was conducted on 13th July, 1818 and was attended by the now ailing Queen Charlotte.
Though not beautiful, the German Princess Adelaide was to prove herself to be good natured, affectionate, kind and loyal. The couple soon became devoted to each other. They took up residence in Hanover. By November, 1818, the new Duchess of Clarence was known to be pregnant. Sadly, a cold she suffered from during her pregnancy developed into pleurisy and the bleeding prescribed by the doctors at the time brought on a premature birth. The child was a girl, named Charlotte Augusta, who survived only a day. She was buried beside George I at the Chapel of the Leine Schloss. Adelaide herself was very unwell for some days and at one point reported to be close to death, but eventually made a full recovery.
The Duchess quickly became pregnant again and William determined that the child, who was likely to be a future monarch, should be born in England. Adelaide miscarried at Calais. A third attempt to produce an heir resulted in the birth of another daughter, Elizabeth, in December, 1820. At first she seemed a vigorous child, but fell ill and died on 4th March, 1821, of an inflammation of the bowels, at which both William and Adelaide were grief stricken. Adelaide became pregnant for the fourth time but suffered a further miscarriage.
