The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_William_IV_of_Prussia">King of Prussia</a> presented her with a Gold Medal for Science on the occasion of her 96th birthday (1846). Caroline Lucretia Herschel was born in the town of Hanover Germany on 16 March 1750. She was the eighth child and fourth daughter of Isaac Herschel (1707–1767), a self-taught <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oboist">oboist</a>, and his wife, Anna Ilse Moritzen (1710–1789).

Isaak became a bandmaster in the Hanoverian Foot Guards, whom he first joined in 1731, and was away with his regiment for substantial periods.

However, her father sometimes took advantage of her mother's absence by tutoring her individually, or including her in her brother's lessons, such as violin. Caroline was briefly allowed to learn dress-making. Though she learned to do needlework from a neighbour, her efforts were stymied by long hours of household chores.<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caroline_Herschel#cite_note-Memoir-8"><sup> </sup></a>To prevent her from becoming a governess and earning her independence that way, she was forbidden to learn <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language">French</a> or more advanced needlework than what she could pick up from neighbours.
