She was the mother of Lady Flora Elizabeth Rawdon-Hastings (1806-1839), who was the center of a sex scandal involving Queen Victoria's mother, the Duchess of Kent. She was accused of having an affair with John Conroy, who may have been the Duchess's lover. When her abdomen started to swell in January, 1839, it was convincing proof of her infidelity. Unfortunately, it was not a pregnancy, but liver cancer, to which Flora succumbed in July of that year.
