The cause of death of the Princess Charlotte of Wales in 1817 has been attributed to postpartum haemorrhage. Although an autopsy was performed, pulmonary embolism was not diagnosed because this condition was not recognized until 1846, but the clinical description of her last hours clearly points to pulmonary embolization as the most likely cause of death.
1817年威尔士夏洛特公主的死因被归结为产后出血。尽管当时进行了尸检，但肺栓塞并未被诊断出来，因为这种病症直到1846年才被认识到，不过对她最后几个小时的临床描述明确表明肺栓塞是最有可能的死因。
