She is renown for two things, a much commented upon portrait of her by Sir Thomas Lawrence, when she was five or six years old, dressed as a peasant girl, and for her apparent stalking of the Duke of Wellington. She met Wellington in 1815, shortly after his final victory over Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo; she was 14 years old, and he was 47. Lord Palmerston, who was carrying on an affair with her married half-sister, Sarah Villiers,Countess of Jersey, proposed to Lady Georgiana, twice, in 1823, but she turned him down. The existence of suggestive letters, from Wellington, seems to confirm they did have a sexual relationship in the 1820s.
