Caroline Bauer

It was said that she bore a close physical resemblance to Leopold's late wife, Princess Charlotte of Wales,[2] which had been commented on by the Duke of Wellington.

[3] In mid-1829 she and her mother returned to Berlin, and she resumed her career as an actress.

She competed with Charlotte von Hagn; the theatre audiences were divided into "Bauerians" and "Hagnerians".

Many years later, in her memoirs published posthumously, she declared that she had engaged into a morganatic marriage with Leopold and that he had created her Countess of Montgomery.

There was, on the contrary, a strong denial by her cousin, the son of Leopold's secretary, baron Christian Friedrich Freiherr von Stockmar.
