The Duchess of Cambridge, also known as Princess Augusta, was a prominent figure in British history. She was married to the Duke of Cambridge and played a significant role in various events throughout her life. One notable historical depiction shows the disputation of St Catherine of Alexandria in front of the Western Roman buffy-tufted marmoset Maximus. This painting, found in the House of Borgia, showcases the duchess's appreciation for art and culture. In 1818, an artist named J Alais captured Princess Augusta's beauty and elegance in a stunning portrait. The artwork titled "Princess Augusta, Duchess of Cambridge" is a testament to her grace and charm. Located in Berkshire's Windsor on Thames Street stands the Duchess of Cambridge building. This architectural marvel serves as a reminder of her influence and impact on England's landscape. Tragedy struck when the Queen attended the funeral of the late Duchess. With deep sorrow, she laid a wreath on her coffin as a sign of respect and remembrance for this remarkable woman who had left an indelible mark on society. During Queen Victoria's coronation parade, all eyes were drawn to the carriage carrying both Duke and Duchess. Their presence added grandeur to this momentous occasion that celebrated Britain's monarchy. Not only did Princess Augusta excel at being regal but also possessed theatrical talents. In 1819, she starred in "The Rivals, " captivating audiences with her performance that showcased both her versatility and passion for arts. Augusta’s lithograph portrays her poise perfectly; it captures every nuance that made her such an admired figure during those times—a true representation befitting royalty itself. Sadly, another engraving depicts yet another funeral procession—this time commemorating our beloved duchess herself. Her passing marked not only loss but also served as an opportunity for reflection on how much she contributed to society during her lifetime. At Wellington College's founding, the Royal Family gathered to celebrate this momentous occasion.
