Obituary
March 31. At her home in Curzon-steet, May Fair, aged 66, Lady Caroline Waldegrave.
Her Ladyship was born March 1, 1765, the fourth and youngest daughter of John third Earl of Waldegrave, and of Lady Elizabeth Gower his wife, sister of the late Marquis of Stafford. She succeeded the late dowager Countess of Cardigan[1] as Lady of the Bedchamber to the Princesses, and filled the duties of the same appointment to the late Queen Dowager of Wurtemberg[2] during her visit to England, the year previous to her death.
The attention of the surviving members of the Royal House, whom she so long and faithfully served, was unremitting during a severe and painful illness, and soothed the last moment of one of their oldest and most attached servants.
Her remains were interred on the 6th of April, with those of her ancestors, at Navestock, Essex.
