      Biography


      Basset was born at 8 Prince's Gate, Knightsbridge, the second daughter of the 7th Earl of Dartmouth and Lady Ruperta Wynn-Carrington, daughter of the Marquess of Lincolnshire. She was educated at home.
      On 31 October 1931, she married Ronald Lambert Basset (1898–1972), senior representative of the ancient Basset family of Tehidy in Cornwall. They had two children, industrialist Bryan Ronald Basset (1932–2010) and Peter Francis Basset (1935–1954). During the Second World War, she ran a small farm in North Devon.
      In 1959, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, asked Basset to be a Woman of the Bedchamber. She held that position until 1981. She was active as a Lady-in-Waiting from 1982 to 1993. She retired at the age of 85.
      She was appointed a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in 1976 and a dame of the same order in 1989.
      Lady Elizabeth authored a devotional book, Love Is My Meaning, and four anthologies.
      Lady Elizabeth Basset died in London in 2000, aged 92.
