Comment

Louise Augusta (1771 - 1843) was officially the daughter of Christian VII. Her birth parents, however, were Queen Karoline Mathilde and her lover Johann Friedrich Graf von Struensee. In 1786 Louise Augusta was married to the Duke Friedrich Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg.
