The Princess Caroline Elizabeth (1713 - 1757), the fourth child and third daughter of George II.
She was born in Hanover, Germany. Her father was The Hereditary Prince of Hanover, the eldest son of The Elector of Hanover . Her mother was Caroline of Ansbach, daughter of Johann Friedrich, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach. As a granddaughter of the Elector of Hanover, she was styled HSH Princess Caroline Elizabeth of Hanover at birth, rather than of Cambridge, the designation available to her through her father's British royal dukedom. Under the Act of Settlement 1701, she was 7th in the line of succession to the British throne.
In 1714, Queen Anne died, and Caroline's grandfather became George I and her father Prince of Wales. Caroline moved with her parents to Great Britain, and resided at St James's Palace, London. She was now styled as a Princess of Great Britain, and was known as HRH Princess Caroline Elizabeth of Wales, and later HRH The Princess Caroline Elizabeth when her father succeeded as George II in 1727.
Princess Caroline Elizabeth died, unmarried and childless, on 28 December 1757, aged 44, at St James's Palace. She was buried at Westminster Abbey.

Olga's Gallery has this picture. There are other locations as well. I don't recall this coming from Olga's Gallery, but there is a note there about her husband. One reused name will be very familiar, "John Russel, 4th Duke of Bedford (1710-1771) a British statesman. He was the second son of Wriothesley Russell, 2nd Duke of Bedford, and his wife, Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of John Howland of Streatham, Surrey. In 1731 Lord John Russell married Lady Diana Spencer (d. 1735), daughter of Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland. A year later, after his elder brother's death he became Duke of Bedford. In April 1737 he married Lady Gertrude Leveson-Gower (d. 1794), daughter of John Leveson-Gower, 1st Earl Gower."
