 The Prince Regent was impressed by Leopold , and told his daughter that Leopold " had every qualification to make a woman happy " . Charlotte was sent back to Cranbourne on 2 March , leaving Leopold with the Prince Regent . On 14 March , an announcement was made in the House of Commons to great acclaim , with both parties relieved to have the drama of the Princess 's romances at an end . Parliament voted Leopold £ 50 @,@ 000 per year , purchased Claremont House for the couple , and allowed them a generous single payment to set up house . Fearful of a repetition of the Orange fiasco , George limited Charlotte 's contact with Leopold ; when Charlotte returned to Brighton , he allowed them to meet only at dinner , and never let them be alone together .
