Princess Caroline Elizabeth was born in Hanover, Germany. Her father was The Hereditary Prince of Brunswick-Lüneburg, 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.
