Princess Elizabeth of Great Britain
Princess Elizabeth was born at Norfolk House, St James's Square, Westminster. She was christened twenty-five days later at Norfolk House, by The Bishop of Oxford, Thomas Secker[1] — her godparents were The Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach (her first cousin once-removed by marriage; for whom The Lord Baltimore (Gentleman of the Bedchamber to her father) stood proxy), The Queen of Denmark (for whom Anne, Viscountess Irwin stood proxy) and the Duchess of Saxe-Gotha (her maternal aunt by marriage, for whom Lady Jane Hamilton stood proxy). [citation needed] Little is known of her short life[2] other than a fragment preserved in the Letters of Walpole. I saw her act in "Cato" at eight years old, (when she could not stand alone, but was forced to lean against the side-scene,) better than any of her brothers and sisters. They put her off as gently as they could—she desired leave to repeat her part, and when she did, it was with so much sense, that there was no denying her.She died on 4 September 1759 at Kew Palace, London and was buried at Westminster Abbey.
