Duchess Louise of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, 1776 - 1810, was the fourth daughter of Charles II, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (a brother of Queen Charlotte of Great Britain) and Princess Frederica of Hesse-Darmstadt. In 1793, she married Crown Prince Frederick William, later Frederick William III of Prussia. Louise and Frederick had nine children, seven of whom survived into adulthood, including the future King Frederick William IV of Prussia and the future Emperor William I of Prussia. She is remembered for her attempts to negotiate with Napoleon during the talks of the Peace of Tilsit (1807).
