Brought up by her elder sisters after the deaths of both parents, Sarah was introduced at court and caught the eye of the youthful King George III . Her family hoped to see her as queen, but the marriage was discouraged by the King's advisors, who foresaw possible complications as a result of her close relationship with the radical Fox family (her sister Caroline being the wife of Henry Fox ). In 1762 , Sarah was married off to Sir Charles Bunbury . Within a short time, their marriage was on the rocks, and Sarah's conduct was getting her a bad reputation. In 1769 , she eloped with Lord William Gordon , with whom she had been having an affair, and was ostracised by polite society as a result. Eventually she found happiness with an impoverished army officer, George Napier . They were married in 1781 , and had eight children, including Charles James Napier . |
