I was Googling Princess Augusta, and I am not sure which one she is and about the connection with Kew Gardens. The photo is exquisite, elegant and neat. You must have been standing on an elevated ground.

I was confused by the Augustas too 🤔 She was the Saxe-Gotha one. Her hubby died before being king so she isn’t the best known Princess of Wales.

This is what I found about her “unfairly maligned in her day and mocked, ridiculed and gossiped about, the mother of George III bore her burdens with dignity”

Oooh. I was intending to write more about this – now I must! Sounds fascinating.

Tell me the relation between her and the Kew garden, please.

Apparently she had the gardens extended after hubby died. Sir William Chambers built several structures there for her. The most famous one is probably the Chin ese pagoda (1761)

Yes, it’s a very striking building. I’ll write a bit about it in another post – when it’s not Wordless Wednesday!
