Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Reign of King George the Third, Vol. 1 of 3

The death of Frederick Prince of Wales has been variously represented to have taken place at Kew, Carlton House, and at Leicester House, Leicester Square. There can be no doubt, however, that it occurred in the latter mansion, the same in which, ninety years previously, expired his interesting and ill-fated ancestress, Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia; the same in which Prince Eugene lodged during his secret visit to England in 1712, and in which the Queen of George the Second gave birth to her second son, the hero, or, as some would have it, the Butcher of -culloden. - See Cunningham's Handbook of London, articles Carlton House and Leicester House; Dodington's Diary, pp. 96, 97 Walpole's Reign of George 2, vol. I. P. 71 and Gentleman's Magazine for 1751, p. 140.31.
