Charlotte Florentia Clive; 12 September 1787 – 27 July 1866), was governess of the future Queen Victoria.

In 1831, being a friend of King William IV, she was appointed governess of his niece and heir presumptive, Princess Victoria of Kent, who ascended the British throne in 1837.

[6] She had earlier opposed the harshness of the Kensington System, designed by Conroy and the Duchess of Kent, and wrote to Princess Feodora of Leiningen (the Duchess of Kent's daughter and Princess Victoria's elder half-sister) to ask her to tell the King to intervene.

[7] Feodora and the Duchess of Northumberland were also determined to protect Baroness Lehzen from the hostility of Conroy and his friend, Lady Flora Hastings.

[11][12] She was the first person in Great Britain to cultivate and bring to flower[13] Southern African plants belonging to the genus Clivia, named in her honour by the Kew botanist John Lindley in 1828.
