Her father had sought to marry her to the Prince of Orange, later King of the Netherlands, but she broke the match, leading to years of conflict with her father until he eventually allowed her to marry Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, later King of Belgium. This was a happy marriage until her untimely death during the still-birth of their child. The race for uncles to marry and produce an heir was won by Edward, Duke of Kent, the father of Queen Victoria.
