Three ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Princess Charlotte, after either Charlotte, Princess Royal, daughter of George III, or Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales, daughter of George IV:
- HMS Princess Charlotte (1799) was a 32-gun fifth rate, previously the French frigate Junon. She was captured in 1799 and renamed Andromache in 1812. She was broken up in 1828.
- HMS Princess Charlotte (1814) was a 42-gun fifth rate, originally to have been named HMS Vittoria. She was launched in 1814, was renamed HMS Burlington in 1814 and was sold for breaking up in 1833.
- HMS Princess Charlotte (1825) was a 104-gun first rate launched in 1825. She was used as a receiving ship from 1858 and was sold in 1875.

Six ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Windsor Castle, after Windsor Castle, an official residence of the British monarch:
