Memorial to the 3rd Duke of Portland and his family at the family vault in St Marylebone Parish Church

The duchess died at her home, Burlington House, Piccadilly, and was buried in St Marylebone Parish Church, Marylebone, London.[4] She “died of a bowel complaint, which she had been subject to for many years, and which terminated in a mortification after a short illness. It was at first suspected, from the violent inflammation in her bowels, that her Grace had eaten water-gruel out of a copper saucepan not properly tinned; but this suspicion is certainly erroneous, as it proved on examination.”[5]

Bentinck was a great-great-great-grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II (see ancestry of Elizabeth II)
