George was determined his bride would travel to her new home in a manner befitting a future Queen. The newest of the King's yachts, Royal Caroline, was renamed Royal Charlotte in the Princess's honour. A flotilla, consisting of five royal yachts and six ships-of-war, collected Princess Charlotte from northern Germany. The journey to England was made in very stormy weather.
