Princess Mary (1631-1660), eldest daughter of Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria and the first princess to be granted the title Princess Royal. The marriage took place on 2 May 1641 at the Chapel Royal, Whitehall Palace, when the bride was only nine years old. In 1642, she moved to Holland with her mother. Prince William (1626-1650), died young, but the couple's son became William III of Orange on his father's death and king of England in 1689.
