She was the sixth child and eldest daughter of Henry Lascelles, 2nd Earl of Harewood, and she married the Earl of Sheffield on 6 June 1825.[1] Her portrait soon appeared in La Belle Assemblée, the society magazine, which carried pictures of "the female nobility and ladies of distinction".[2] It was based on an original painting by the portraitist John Jackson, which was hung at the Royal Academy.[3]
Their children were:
Frederick Henry Stuart, Viscount Pevensey (1827–1829)
Douglas Edward (1834-1882), who became a barrister and died unmarried[6]
The earl died in April 1876, aged 74, and was succeeded by his eldest surviving son, Henry. The countess died in Brighton, aged 86.[7] She is buried in the Sheffield family mausoleum at the Church of St. Andrew and St. Mary the Virgin, Fletching, East Sussex.
