Augusta Emma d'Este was the daughter of Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex (sixth son of King George III), by his marriage with Lady Augusta Murray, second daughter of John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, and Lady Charlotte Stewart. The marriage was not recognized by King George III and was considered in contravention of the Royal Marriages Act of 1772. Her parents eventually separated and her father remarried following her mother's death

She was married on August 13, 1845, as his second wife, to Sir Thomas Wilde, 1st Baron Truro (7 July 1782 – 11 November 1858), who served as Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain between 1850 and 1852. They had no children together.

Her burial place, the Dunmore Mausoleum, found within St. Laurence Churchyard, is considered at risk. The stone is crumbling and parts of the stone structure have fallen to the ground.
