 Despite her isolation , Charlotte found life at Cranbourne Lodge surprisingly agreeable , and slowly became reconciled to her situation . At the end of July 1814 , the Prince Regent visited Charlotte in her isolation and informed her that her mother was about to leave England for an extended stay on the Continent . This upset Charlotte , but she did not feel that anything she might say could change her mother 's mind , and was further aggrieved by her mother 's casualness in the <unk> , " for God knows how long , or what events may occur before we meet again " . Charlotte would never see her mother again . In late August , Charlotte was permitted to go to the seaside . She had asked to go to fashionable Brighton , but the Prince Regent refused , sending her instead to Weymouth . As the Princess 's coach stopped along the way , large , friendly crowds gathered to see her ; according to Holme , " her affectionate welcome shows that already people thought of her as their future Queen " . On arrival in Weymouth , there were illuminations with a centrepiece " Hail Princess Charlotte , Europe 's Hope and Britain 's Glory " . Charlotte spent time exploring nearby attractions , shopping for smuggled French silks , and from late September taking a course of heated seawater baths . She was still infatuated with her Prussian , and hoped in vain that he would declare his interest in her to the Prince Regent . If he did not do so , she wrote to a friend , she would " take the next best thing , which was a good tempered man with good <unk> [ sic ] ... that man is the P of S @-@ C " [ Prince of Saxe @-@ Coburg , i.e. Leopold ] . In mid @-@ December , shortly before leaving Weymouth , she " had a very sudden and great shock " when she received news that her Prussian had formed another attachment . In a long talk after Christmas dinner , father and daughter made up their differences .
