 Harris found the Princess dressed in a dishevelled manner , and it was obvious that she had not washed in several days . He found her conversation coarse and overly familiar . Harris spent almost four months with her , doing his best to improve her behaviour and habits , before they reached England , a time lengthened by poor winter weather and delays occasioned by the war against France . The diplomat brought Caroline to St. James 's Palace ; on first sight of his bride , the Prince stated , " Harris , I am not well , pray get me a glass of brandy . " After the Prince had left , Caroline said , " I think he is very fat and nothing like as handsome as his portrait . " When the couple dined together that evening , the embittered Princess made coarse allusions to the Prince 's relationship with Lady Jersey ; according to Harris this served to cement George 's dislike of her . Before the wedding on 8 April 1795 , George sent his brother William , Duke of Clarence ( later William IV ) , to tell Fitzherbert that she was the only woman he would ever love , then went to the ceremony , drunk .
