Claim: The Duke and Prince Regent argued (and never spoke again) over the unanswered questions of whether Princess Charlotte of Wales was free to come and go, or allowed to visit the seaside, or whether she was given a separate establishment; even though she found her life at Cranbourne Lodge agreeable.
Evidence: The Duke responded by questioning the Tory Prime Minister, Lord Liverpool, in the House of Lords. He asked whether Charlotte was free to come and go, whether she was allowed to go to the seaside as doctors had recommended for her in the past, and now that she was eighteen, whether the government planned to give her a separate establishment. Liverpool evaded the questions, and the Duke was summoned to Carlton House and castigated by the Prince Regent, who never spoke with his brother again. Despite her isolation, Charlotte found life at Cranbourne Lodge surprisingly agreeable, and slowly became reconciled to her situation.
