Charlotte, the Forgotten Princess, at the Royal Pavilion
10 March 2012 to 10 March 2013, Admission payable, members free
The only daughter of George, Prince of Wales and Princess Caroline of Brunswick, Charlotte was a feisty and headstrong child, who became very popular with the public, in stark contrast to her father. Charlotte married in 1816, but then tragically died the following year shortly after giving birth, aged only 21. Her sudden death sent shockwaves across the country and the public outpouring of grief was exceeded in English history only by that following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales.
Charles Dickens, the Royal Pavilion and Brighton at the Pavilion
Wednesday 28 March 11.30am-12.30pm £10, members £8.50
Lecturer in 19th century literature Dr Peter Blake discusses the importance of the Royal Pavilion and Brighton to the life and work of Charles Dickens.
The Whistler 
Colonel Robert Goff – one of the city’s greatest artists. A fantastic exhibition at the Brighton Museum. I don’t have any of his etchings of Brighton at the moment but I do have a stunning etching of his “Cairo” – see my website.
