She was four years older than her brother Charles, who became Charles I of Britain and Ireland.

During her early life in Scotland, Elizabeth was brought up at Linlithgow Palace, one of the grandest of Scotlands royal residences, where she was placed in the care of Lord Livingstone and his wife. A couple of years later the kings second daughter, Margaret, was placed in their care as well.
