08/13/1752 AD born
Born at the Schönbrunn Palace, Vienna, Maria Carolina was the thirteenth and sixth surviving child of Maria Theresa, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia and ruler of the Habsburg dominions, and Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor.
She was a namesake of her elder sisters – Maria Carolina, who died two weeks after her first birthday, and Maria Carolina, who died several hours after being baptised, but she was known as Charlotte by her family. Her godparents were King Louis XV of France and his wife, Marie Leszczyńska.
Maria Carolina was the daughter who resembled her mother most.
Maria Carolina formed a very close bond with her youngest sister, Marie Antoinette. From very early on they shared the same governess, Countess Lerchenfeld. A testament to their closeness is the fact that when one caught an illness the other did too.
In August 1767 Maria Theresa separated the two girls, hitherto raised together under the auspices of Countess Marie von Brandis, because of their bad behavior.
