Life

It was named after her aunt Princess Amelia . Amelia had four sisters and five brothers, all named FitzClarence. After their father's accession to the throne, they were raised to the rank of children of marquess .

Due to the unequal status of their parents, they were not allowed to marry. Since their parents' relationship lasted 20 years, the siblings enjoyed domestic stability.

In 1819 Baron Franz Ludwig von Bibra, a German with knowledge of the classics and the English language, was given the task of teaching the two youngest daughters. In June 1830, her father ascended the throne. In 1831 he named his eldest son, George FitzClarence , Earl of Munster and raised the younger children of Jordan to the rank of children of marquess.
