Little is known about the short life of the princess, except for a fragment from Walpole's Letter [2] :
| We have lost our friend, the young princess Elizabeth. She died within two days from intestinal inflammation. Her figure was charming, amazing. I saw her when she, along with her brothers and sisters, played the Caton tragedy at the age of eight. She played much better than any of her sisters and brothers. The princess was in fragile health, but she learned to read, and when she learned that she would play the role of Lucy, she asked her parents not to participate in the performance, but they dissuaded her. The princess played her role righteously. [3] |
The princess died on September 4, 1759 at the age of 18 at Kew Palace. Buried in Westminster Abbey .
