On the queen's death she passed her ring to her brother Robert Carey, who rode to Scotland to give it to James VI. [1] [2] [3]

Her portrait appears in a picture of the family of the Earl of Monmouth in 1617 attributed to Paul van Somer and she was also painted by Anthony van Dyck. A version of the Van Dyck portrait, in different costume from the mezzotint, had the inscription "about the age of 44". [5]
King James stayed with her at Aske on 16 April 1617 on his way to Scotland, and at Wharton Hall on 8 August on his return. [6]
In June 1623 she travelled to The Hague to see Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia, with Elizabeth, Lady Knollys, Isabella Smythe, Lady Hatton and her daughter Lady Purbeck. They sent a comic letter to Dudley Carleton, in the spirit of a masque, explaining their arrival deposited on the shore by Neptune, in hope of an introduction to the King and Queen of Bohemia. [7]

She married Sir Thomas Wharton of Aske Hall (d. 1622) in April 1611. George Calvert noted the financial settlement of £6000 from her father and an annual £1200 jointure. [9]
