She is the direct maternal great-grandmother of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, great-great-grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II, and great-great-great-grandmother of King Charles III.

On 29 August 1829, she married Edwyn Burnaby, an English landowner, of Baggrave Hall, Leicestershire,[2] a Justice of the Peace, Deputy Lieutenant, and High Sheriff of Leicestershire in 1864. He also succeeded his father in the Court post of Gentleman of the Privy chamber.[3]

They had several children, including:

  • Edwyn Sherard Burnaby (1830–1883); general and Member of Parliament
