She married William Hay, 18th Earl of Erroll, and became Countess of Erroll on 4 December 1820[2] at age 19. Due to Hay's parentage, William Hay became Lord Steward of the Household.[3] Elizabeth and William Hay married at St George's, Hanover Square.[4][5] Hay is pictured in a FitzClarence family portrait in House of Dun and kept a stone thrown at her father William IV and the gloves he wore on opening his first Parliament as mementos.[6] She died in Edinburgh, Scotland.[1]
