The View @ Claremont
Well a scene from one of the viewpoints at Claremont Gardens looking out over the lake . To get this shot you are obliged to shoot straight into the sun at this time of day . Behind me here at the lookout point is a memorial to Princess Charlotte ( see text via the link ) . She is buried in St. George's Chapel Windsor with her stillborn son .
The physician attending the birth Dr. Croft never recovered from the catastrophe at Claremont. Abandoned by patients, shunned by colleagues and criticised in the newspapers and medical press, he grew increasingly despondent. His decision not to use forceps to assist the Princess undoubtedly weighed on his mind. On 13 February 1818 while attending another difficult birth, Croft found a gun and shot himself - adding a third death to the double loss of Princess Charlotte and her child.
