Princess Carolina was born in Leeuwarden . In 1747 , it was declared that the position of Stadtholder could be inherited by females, thus making the young Princess Carolina the Heiress Presumptive to the position of Stadtholder. However, in 1748 , a male heir, Willem , was born to her parents, thus displacing her and putting her second in line to the position. Princess Carolina's father died in 1751 , making her 3-year-old brother Willem V of Orange. At that point, her mother was appointed Princess-Regent . However, in 1759 , her mother died, and Willem V was still just 10 years old. Then, Princess Carolina's paternal grandmother, HH Princess Marie Luise , was made Princess-Regent. Princess Marie-Luise was regent until 1765 , when she died. Willem V was now 17, but that was still not old enough to rule on his own. So, Princess Carolina was made Princess-Regent. She ruled until 1766 , when Willem V turned 18. During the regency of Princess Marie Luise, Princess Carolina married HSH Duke Karl Christian Of Nassau-Weilburg . She died in 1787 . Her son Friedrich Wilhelm Von Nassau-Weilburg, Prince Of Nassau was father to Georg Wilhelm August Heinrich Von Nassau-Weilburg, Duke Of Nassau , grandfather to Princess Therese Wilhelmine Friederike Isabelle Charlotte Von Nassau-Weilburg , great-grandfather to Alexandra Friederike Wilhelmine von Oldenburg and a fourth-generation ancestor to Grand Duke Nicholas . |
