Saturday night died in London, Lady Harriet Fitzroy, 7th daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Grafton, having just attained the age of 20 years. Though under much weakness of body, during a long and afflicting illness, her mind was supported under it by those religious principles, which she had early imbibed, and had made her constant practice. These were her consolations amid all her sufferings, and produced that patience and resignation to the will of God, which prepared her for the last closing scene of her life. Her mind was cultivated and improved beyond her years. Her manners were easy, gentle, and unassuming. Her dutiful regard to her parents, and affection to her family, will endear her memory to them all, and render her loss long regretted, and deeply to be lamented. [Bury and Norwich Post - Wednesday 25 April 1804, p.2]

The remains of Lady Harriet Fitzroy, daughter of the Duke of Grafton, were on Thursday last interred in the vault of St, James's Chapel, and not removed to Euston, as stated in several of the papers. [Morning Post - Wednesday 25 April 1804, p.3]
