Princess Elizabeth of Clarence (Elizabeth Georgiana Adelaide; 10 December 1820 – 4 March 1821) was a member of the British royal family. She was the second daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Clarence and St Andrews, later King William IV and Queen Adelaide. Princess Elizabeth was a granddaughter of King George III.
Elizabeth was born on 10 December 1820 during the reign of her uncle George IV at St James's Palace, and was christened that day at the Palace by William Howley, then Bishop of London.[citation needed]
After "being suddenly seized with the fatal disease, an intro-susception of the bowels" she died shortly thereafter,[1] aged 12 weeks.[2] She was buried at Windsor Castle, in St George's Chapel, on 10 March 1821.[1][3] She was third in line of succession to the British throne at the time of her death; had she lived another sixteen years, she would have become queen instead of her cousin Victoria.

The generations indicate descent from George I, who formalised the use of the titles prince and princess for members of the British royal family. Where a princess may have been or is descended from George I more than once, her most senior descent, by which she bore or bears her title, is used.
